Back again.
Here's another chapter for y'all.
Enjoy!

He sat in silence for a bit as he smoked and he could hear Rebecca quiet breathing and saw her sleeping face.
Marcus could hardly believe that it happened so fast but this was Night City. You never know if you're going to die in an hour, a day, or a week from now, so he understood that there are a whole lot less reservations and buildup than his previous life.
Sure, that's not always the case, but it's more rare.
He wondered what to do. It's not like he could go into his training shard and completely lock in since he wasn't alone, but he also didn't really feel like doing anything at the moment.
So instead, he loaded up one of the One Piece fights onto the device and watched while he smoked.
It was the classic Crocodile fight from Alabasta, but after he was finished, he turned it off.
She was still sleeping, so he decided to do a quick little training session of an hour focusing on Body. Not like he had anything better to do.
He focused on Brawling since he could simultaneously train Athletics, plus he was just recommended a gym so it never hurt to gain some more proficiency.
Fighting the bot had been quite challenging, but he could defeat one at Level 7, but not 8.
As he trained for the hour, he didn't forget to constantly check his stats after every notification.
Marcus brought up his panel once he was finished.
Body 8(350/2000)XP
- Brawling 5(1450/1500xp)
- Athletics 6(700/1750xp)
- Shotguns 5(1000/1500xp)
- Heavy Machine Guns 5(350/1500xp)
- Blunt Weapons 5(450/1500xp)
He leveled up again in Body and felt the same agony as his body grew stronger and tougher.
His muscles grew noticeably larger and he had more visible striations in his chest and shoulders. He looked more diced. No complaints from him.
Marcus exited the shard and immediately felt something wet and warm around his nether region. Looking down, he saw Rebecca sucking his dick as if her life depended on it.
He had already felt himself getting close and it seemed she was going at it for quite a bit as there was saliva coating his rod and sack.
She took it out before slapping it on her tongue.
"Cum down my throat, Daddy." Rebecca went harder as he felt his length go deeper.
He busted shortly after as he could hear her gulping a few times before her lips popped off his tip.
"You're insatiable." He laughed as she tucked his member back into his underwear.
"It's your fault for having such a nice dick." She giggled as she put on her bra and panties while sitting back down next to him. "Plus, it was a reward for being so sweet for showering me."
"Well, I won't say no to that." He grabbed her by the hips and gave her a kiss before taking out his member again, "but if you think you're not going to get stuffed after doing that, then you're quite naive." He laughed before pulling her panties to the side and pushing his length inside her.
"Fuck, Marcus! I want more~" Rebecca had a dopey grin as she started grinding on him.

They both lay on the couch in exhaustion. Even if his Body attribute was that high, with the intense physical activity and hours of brutal training, even he was starting to feel moderately tired.
"I think I'm addicted." Rebecca smiled as she cuddled up next to him.
"As am I." Marcus couldn't deny the sheer passion between them. "Didn't know you had a daddy and praise kink."
Her face got hot as she muttered, "I didn't think I did either."
"I like it though." He kisses her on the lips and she reciprocates. The feeling of domination and the power dynamic was sinfully satisfying.
"Then I'll keep being your good girl, Daddy." She traces her fingers across his chest.
"Careful now, you wanna go again?" Marcus raised an eyebrow.
Her lower region quivered in fear.
"Mercy, my pussy is already waving the white flag." Rebecca giggled before snuggling deeper into him.
He held onto her as they lay there.
She was staring up at the ceiling before noticing the guitar on the wall. During their little gaming session and talks, she knew that he could play it.
"Maybe you could play a song for me sometime," She bashfully suggested with a smile.
"Sure, maybe another time though. I'm beat." He sat up before lighting up another cigarette. Thank god that The Examiner gave him an unreasonable amount of them.
"My pussy is fuckin' nova ain't it, Marcus." She had a confident grin.
"The best." He wasn't just being nice but rather the truth. Whether that was because of the raw passion or the Midnight Lady implant helping out either way, still far surpassed any experience of his previous life.
She blushed before taking his hand, "Gonk, come on."
They took another shower as they were still sweaty and sticky, but nothing risque happened.
Getting their clothes on, Rebecca suddenly got a little sad.
"Have to delta, my gonk ass brother finished modifying my Carnage." Rebecca looked a bit down, but he walked her to the door.
"All good Becca, maybe next time you can stay the night." He pulled her in for a kiss as he opened the door.
"Fuck yeah, I will. Bye, Daddy!" She giggled before leaving.
He shook his head in amusement before shutting the door. Going back to sit down, he thought of how crazy his day had been. Realizations and blooming relationships while also the grind is stronger than ever.
This is what life is all about. The life that he wanted.
Doing whatever he wanted.
He smiled as he pondered what to do next.
David was probably going to tell his mother unless he chickens out, but who knows? If he does go through with it, then he'll likely need the training shard to get up to speed. He doesn't mind helping out, of course, he'd like to have his own team one day, but that means he has to use up all 24 hours quickly.
There were 19 hours left as he used up 5 for Body. He had several hours before it was time to sleep and while he was moderately tired from physical and mental fatigue, he pushed through.
For the skills that he'd be focusing on, he has favored Athletics and by extension, Brawling. This would make sure his physical body, strength, resilience, and flexibility were firing on all cylinders.
A powerful physique is a necessary foundation for all skills, so he felt that it was incredibly important to focus on it.
He was hungry though, so he ate quickly and hopped into training.
Four hours went by and he exited the shard with heavy exhaustion. He didn't show mercy to himself as strength was the way to survive in this world, so he didn't hold back.
Pulling up his stats, he had a satisfied but tired look on his face.
Body 9(1350/2500)XP
- Brawling 6(750/1750xp)
- Athletics 6(1500/1750xp)
- Shotguns 6(300/1750xp)
- Heavy Machine Guns 5(1150/1500xp)
- Blunt Weapons 5(1250/1500xp)
This leveling speed was making him feel some type of way. His confidence was overflowing and he had already gone through the pain from leveling Body.
He took off his shirt and went up to the mirror. His muscle volume increased a bit along with his vascularity being more defined and toned. It was an addictive feeling seeing the changes in his physique.
Marcus was extremely satisfied.
One more level up and he'd hit the maximum strength that a human could naturally achieve.
Another thing he liked about having Kiroshi optics was that it showed him his weight.
315lbs(142.88kg).
That was truly insane to him. From Body 1 to Body 9 he gained practically 100 pounds(45.35kg) of muscle. That was over the course of a week and some change. He's never beating the allegations if one knew of his journey. From being a classic case of anorexia to completely fucking yolked.
He was too tired to really do anything else strenuous so he relaxed on his Stardew Valley save file.
After an hour passes, he gets off.
Sitting down with a cigarette in hand, he thought of what he was going to do tomorrow.
He'll definitely check out the gym that Vik mentioned, so he'll probably go in the morning.
His current workout with his duffle bag and ammo box isn't too effective for the time he puts in. If he could lift some heavy weights, then he'd gain XP faster.
Next, he'd probably finish up his remaining 3 hours for Body while solely focusing on Brawling and Athletics. Well, he'd first get Blunt Weapons and HMGs up to level 6 since they're almost there, but the remaining time would be spent trying to maximize his physique.
It's quite likely that he could hit Body 10 once his 12 hours are up. That filled him with excitement.
Once he extinguished his cigarette, he decided to practice playing his guitar to unwind before bed.
He had already made up his mind to not practice his Rockerboy skill during his 12 hours of reflexes. That also included Driving since he wanted to have as much time for his combat skills.
Marcus was even tempted to not train Blades since while they were cool, he didn't know if they would fit into his fighting style. It would be different if he wasn't a 7-foot giant so he could sneak around and kill quietly, but his Cool is not leveled high enough and he hadn't even unlocked a stealth skill yet.
He simply did not have the endurance to train everything and while he could have certain days for different skills, he wanted to make sure he didn't get himself killed by being too weak.
Not only Cool, but he has Intelligence and Technical Ability to level up as well. It'll certainly be a pain, but he has time.
Making sure he had a strong physique and combat skills was his top priority.
He grabbed the guitar from the wall and headphones plugging it into the instrument and started jamming.
Cycling through songs and trying to play them was the best way to practice for him as it was also fun. With his Rockerboy skill being at a higher level than he first started, he gained knowledge and finesse to play it far better than his first time. His ear even got better at recognizing certain notes which made him excited for a future that he may have perfect pitch.
After an hour and some notifications, he put the guitar back on the wall along with the headphones and turned in for the night.
Tomorrow was a big day.

David felt nervous.
He talked a big game, but now that his mother got home from a long day completely exhausted, he couldn't get the words out.
Being a suit is something he truly didn't want, but seeing his mother's tired face working herself to the bone for him, caused him to freeze up.
She was tired and he didn't want to add to the burden and stress of him telling her he wanted to drop out and be an edgerunner, especially after his cousin did so yesterday.
'Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow.' He told himself but it felt hollow.

The next morning, David woke up as his mother was already dressed and ready to head for work.
"I'm heading out, mijo. I'll see you tonight." Gloria smiled with bags under her eyes. She was tired. Truly tired from the sheer backbreaking work she puts in for him. For a future he didn't even believe in.
Combined with laying out his dream to his cousin and his alienation from his school along with the simple fact that he did not want to be a corpo, something shattered within David.
His restraint.
"Mom, I want to be an edgerunner!" He got up and looked her in the eye.
A myriad of emotions flashed engulfed Gloria. Sadness, grief, bitterness, frustration, and anger.
She was just about to blow up before a voice sounded through her. A memory that ate at her.
"Goodbye, Mamá. See you in the next life."
Gloria fell to her knees in helplessness.
David rushed to her but she was not responsive.
'Why are both of my babies rushing to their deaths?' She thought with lifelessness.
She truly hated Night City.

Gloria is going through it in this story. Feel a bit bad.
I appreciate all the support.
Once Marcus hits Level 10 in Body, I'll show a reference image.
Until next time.
Later!
