Kapitel 3: New Implant, New Problems

-The next day at Jacobs Apartment-

After taking meds Jacob felt asleep on the floor and he woke up the next morning as if nothing had happened. When he came to the kitchen to get something to stop his thirst, he took a glass of water, but as soon as he wanted to drink it, the glass fell to the ground.

"What?" he said looking at his cramping hand, unable to move it at all.

He was sweating while looking for the medicine bag he left on the floor yesterday night. He saw it, he wanted to get to it with a quick step, but his legs suddenly felt weak, luckily he had enough strength to reach for it and take the medicine with his other hand.

"Ahhh." was a sound of relief after Jacob took his medicine.

Jacob knew something was wrong and knew he needed help, but he couldn't contact Hiro. Even though he has implants that allow him to call anyone, when he tried it, it was terrible pain and he had a feeling that his brain will melt.

Jacob had no choice but to go out and find anyone who could help him. It was a risk because he had no Eurodollars or weapons with him.

Jacob was walking around Watson like a lost puppy looking around for help. He saw many people on his way, from corpo rats, alcoholics and homeless people. It was almost night, he still hadn't found what he wanted and the pain was coming back. For a while he even went to some dark alley to throw up because the pain kept coming back worse and worse and in shorter time intervals.

"Woah, what do we have here?" came a voice behind Jacob's back, he turned to see who it was. He saw three men with a lots of cyber-implants on them, they had no guns but they had some weapons.

"We found some fresh meat, didn't we?" One of them said while he started jerking off, it was obvious as day that these guys were gangsters.

"What the fuck you want?" Jacob said as he tried to lean himself with his hand on the wall of the building. "YOUR BODY WHAT ELSE!?" jerking guy shouted at him.

One of them started to get closer to Jacob with knife in his hand, "I see you won't cause us any trouble." When he was as close as possible to Jacob, he said: "We will find a way to use your body" he smirked as he was ready to stab Jacob but he dodged his attack and punched him in the face sending him flying across the whole alley. The other two guys saw it and rushed at him trying to take him down.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!" the other guy started screaming and trying to attack Jacob, he pulled out a machete and with a great swing he ran towards him. When he saw Jacob's psychopathic smile, he immediately knew that he was not normal. Jacob grabbed his arm, then broke it, smashed his head against the wall and threw his dead body across the alley. There was only a jerking guy left and he was terrified of what he had just seen. He took a booster out of his pocket and used it. "AHHH, THAT'S THE STUFF. NOW I'M GOING TO TEAR YOU TO PIECES!" He immediately stopped jerking and ran towards Jacob, he was very fast and had two knives.

With his left hand, he reached out and stabbed Jacob in the stomach and then was about to cut his throat.

But when he stabbed Jacob, he didn't even moved, he grabbed his hand, broke it and pulled the knife out of it and cut off his little self. The gangster started screaming at the top of his lungs. Jacob took it, stuffed it in his mouth and cut his throat. Now the gangster was falling to the ground with his mouth full of himself.

The reason Jacob was able to do all of this was because he was under cyberpsychosis. Not long after that incident, Jacob returned to reality, but he didn't remember anything at all.

He fell to his knees because of the pain he felt at that moment, he looked up and saw a dead man lying on the ground in front of him and when he turned around, he saw another brutally murdered people behind him. He didn't hesitate for a moment, and with a terrified look on his face, he got up and ran away.

After running for a few minutes, he remembered that he wanted to find a ripperdoc, and he found one, he ran inside the building where there was a ripperdoc with a beard, short hair and dark glasses

"How can I help you?" ripperdoc said and at that moment Jacob felt to his knees, "Hey! What's wrong?!" ripperdoc yelled at Jacob. "Help...me" Jacob said as felt unconscious.

After some time Jacob woke up on surgical chair, "Doc..." Jacob said, "Call me Dyson." he said. "You made me worried when you when you ran in here and then passed out, but now you are all fixed up." Dyson continue talking. "Do you know what's wrong with me?!" Jacob asked with curiosity. "Of course I know." Dyson said. Their conversation continued for a long time and Jacob found out why he felt in such pain or why he went berserker.

The reason was that his body rejected the implants and this caused incredible pain .In other worlds, Jacob had less cyberware tolerance. Dyson explained to Jacob that this is nothing new for people who have never had any implants. He said that his tolerance will grow over time but it takes some time for body to adapt to them.

"So that's the reason." Jacob said, "Here." Dyson said and gave him something,

"What is it?" Jacob asked, "It's stronger medicine and it will help your body to adapt." Jacob looked inside the bag and saw lot of medicine, "But I don't have any money." He said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"It's alright, but in return if I need anything, you will do something for me, deal?" Dyson said as reaching his hand. "Deal" Jacob said while shaking hands.

Being lost, Jacob asked Dyson for directions before leaving.

When he arrived home, he took off his clothes and looked out the large window of his apartment. When he saw the beauty of Night City, he remembered his goal, the reason why he was doing all this. Then he took medicine from Dyson and went to sleep.
