After Entering a Cyberpunk World, I Soared to the Top

[Revising the first ten chapters, so there may be some awkward transitions :)]

Bad news: Jiang Mo is dead.

Good news: Jiang Mo has transmigrated.

In a filthy, damp alley, Jiang Mo has barely opened his eyes when cold drizzle splashes across his face. Before he can get a closer look at the aircraft streaking overhead and the dazzling, surreal neon projections in the distance, a grotesque, terrifying [monster] grabs him by the throat, leaving him unable to move.

Jiang Mo: ...I just came back to life, and now I'm dying again?

--

After a lifetime of doing good, keeping his head down, and living by the rules, Jiang Mo doesn't go to Heaven or Hell after he dies. He simply opens his eyes and finds himself in a new body.

He'd be a lot happier if this body weren't a million in debt.

Jiang Mo forces a smile.

But that's okay. As someone who worked hard and supported himself in his previous life, Jiang Mo believes he can earn his way out of debt.

But before he can even land a job paying 3,000 a month, Jiang Mo is told that a strange chip has appeared in his brain and he doesn't have much time left.

Jiang Mo: ...I'll just lie flat.

One day, a man claiming to be from a mysterious international organization knocks on Jiang Mo's door.

A warm smile rests on his handsome face. "Want to join us? Two million a year."

New Calendar year 3077, Wulai City.

Creatures known as bionic entities suddenly appear, indiscriminately attacking humans.

At first, human firearms suppress and destroy them, until they disappear without a trace.

Everything seems to return to normal.

Until the Day of the End arrives: the sky falls dormant, the sun grows dim, and humanity is plunged into darkness once more.

Jiang Mo emerges from the sweeping sandstorm, gripping the long blade in his hand, a smile playing on his thin lips. "This world needs a new order."

Reading notes:

1. Set in an alternate cyberpunk world, with some supernatural elements and a little soft sci-fi. In short, the setting is full of original worldbuilding, and everything is in service of an exciting story.

2. The story of an ordinary boy growing into a B-king (not really). The pacing is a little slow at first, and the protagonist has a strong plot armor.

3. Romance: One-on-one + happy ending + (other characters may have one-sided crushes on the protagonist. What can I say? He's a lady-killer.)

Theme: Are the sons of kings and nobles born to rule?
