As i wake up, I realize i must be in my new reality because i am in an actual room, in a very comfortable gigantic bed. It took me a moment to realize why i was in such a nice place, then it hit me. I set my "lifestyle" to luxurious, and free, thank god he let me keep the messed up settings for this character. Otherwise there is no way would i be able to afford this without some seriously dangerous jobs. Think stealing nuclear weapons from the military levels of dangerous.

So after taking my time to get used to my new bed (i swear i wasnt falling back asleep), i got up and started looking around.  I found my closet after a few minutes and picked out some normal clothes.  I grabbed a simple light grey t-shirt, and some blue jeans.  As i walk out of my room i am thinking about what i am going to do, and run into someone.  Looking around i see a maid fallen to the floor.  I try to help her up, but she scrambles to her feet quickly and apologizes "I am sorry young master.  I should have paid more attention.  I was coming to inform you that your father requires your presence."

"Lead the way." I say as i guesture for her to show me to him.  She walks ahead leading me to his study.  She opens the door and guestures for me to enter.  After i pass through she closes it staying outside.  As I look at my father he hits a button on his computer silencing the video that was playing, but not before i hear something about dracula in New Orleans.  He must be watching an old movie.  He is a large man, stand 6' 8", a full 8" taller than me.  We both share the same thick brown hair and brown eyes from our bear forms.  Both of us are muscular, but not to body builder levels, more along the lines of professional athletes.  In general i look like a younger version of him.

Gregory Nialo "Good, your here.  So since you are an adult, i have decided that you are to go out and see the world.  No, not a vacation or trip.  You are going to be a shadowrunner for the next 5 years at least."

Lucian "What is a shadow runner?"

Gregory "Shadowrunners commit crimes, usually for money. When a corporation or other sponsor needs someone to do dirty work, they look to the shadows. As “deniable assets,” runners make advantageous, and expendable, tools.  It's very dangerous work, pays well, and knowing our buisness is a great method of learning.  I myself was one for 10 years before i was given a position in the company, as was each generation before that, and you will follow the tradition or be cut off completely."

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Let me give some backround on our buisness.  We own one of the largest private military companies in the world.  We basically rent out soldiers to the militaries willing to pay, so they dont have to risk thier own lives.  And we only hire the best.  What takes a squad of normal soldiers, a pair of our mercs can do.

Lucian "Why shadow running?  Why not have me work in the company?"

Gregory "Because you dont have any experiance in military matters.  And you dont have any in the dark side of the world.  Both of which are needed to run and work in the company."

Lucian "So am i being kicked out?"

Gregory "No, you will get to stay here as long as you are not cut off.  Your living will be paid for, however you cannot have more than a month between jobs.  I raised you to have willingness to kill, and you definatly have the ability.  You just need to experiance the world and then you will be ready to take a position in the company.  Here is the name of a fixer, someone who sets up jobs for shadow runners.  Normally they would help get equipment too, but i think i can handle that."

Lucian "Ok, I hope i dont die or get caught."

Gregory "As long as you dont die, i can help you.  If something goes really wrong find a way to contact me.  Here is your false SIN (System Identification Number).  This is for all intents and purposes your new identity.  Never forget that, and never use your real one on jobs."

Lucian "Yes father.  I will go get prepared now."

I walked back to my room and started gathering my personal equipment.  A special bow that utilizes some form of magnetic technology to increase the velocity of the arrow.  I am not anywhere near an expert in magnetics, and have no clue how it works.  All i know is that its draw strength is around 200kg.  And it requires specialy manufactured tungsten arrows to fire at full strength.  Anything less and i cant do a full draw, or the arrow will probably break on me.  Luckly cause the arrows are so strong they rarely break even shooting armored things such as tanks. 

Time to contact that fixer, and get my first job.
