Adam Smasher is filled with a sense of pain and failure, feeling life slipping away rapidly. His body is immobile, but his mind is in turmoil. He was once the ruler of Night City, a trusted ally of Arasaka, but now he kneels before an unknown mercenary, waiting for death to come.
His mind keeps replaying the image of Johnny Silverhand, the bastard he has always wanted to destroy. Johnny's presence seems to be mocking him, making him feel immensely humiliated. He cannot be sure who ultimately ended his life, was it V or Johnny? This uncertainty adds to his agony, he wants to know who delivered the final blow, who made him a tragic failure.
His vision gradually blurred, but his mind was incredibly clear. His life seemed to replay in this moment, every decision, every choice making him feel deeply helpless. He wanted power, he wanted fame, but in the end, he only received merciless death and being forgotten. His name once shook the entire Night City, but now, he could only helplessly watch the last moments of his life.
His consciousness gradually dissipated, but the final resentment and unwillingness were imprinted in the depths of his soul. He was unwilling to become a pawn of Johnny and V, unwilling to end his life in such a tragic way. However, everything had come to an end, and he could no longer change anything. His body gradually grew cold, and his consciousness disappeared into the shadows of Night City, leaving behind only endless regret and the pain of failure.
In his final moment of consciousness, all he felt was anger and dissatisfaction towards the entire Night City. He hated that Night City didn't give him more opportunities to succeed, leading him to ultimately become a corporate pawn. He despised Arasaka, the trash company that controlled his life at every moment. He resented V, the mercenary who had lived a tumultuous life, albeit possibly short, yet was admired by others. He realized that his life choices had cost him his dignity and worth, turning him into Arasaka's slave, a puppet manipulated by capital.
As the last flicker of anger burned in his heart, Adam Smasher's Prosthesis gradually lost power, with all systems shutting down one by one. His body was no longer under his control, and at that moment, it seemed that every circuit and mechanical component of his Prosthesis also sensed his despair and unwillingness, ceasing to function silently. His consciousness grew increasingly hazy, all sensations fading away, leaving only deep-seated anger and regret echoing in his heart.
His brain, the only human organ still functioning, also felt the end of life at this moment. The activity of every neuron slowed down until it completely stopped. The last electron jumped in the nerve fibers, like his final struggle and cry for life, but then disappeared into endless darkness. His thoughts froze at this moment, all memories, all feelings became distant and unreachable. He could no longer think, no longer feel, only accept the end of life in silence.
At this moment, Adam Smasher completely lost all consciousness. There was no longer any feeling in his heart, all resentment, pain, and unwillingness disappeared with the last trace of his life. His body became cold and stiff, losing the warmth and color of life. His brain ceased all activity and thoughts with the release of the last electron.
His figure lay on the cold ground of Night City, becoming a witness to the endless struggles and chaos of this city.
However, after an unknown amount of time, it seemed like it was just the next second, yet also like it had been ten thousand years. Adam Smasher suddenly felt a strange sensation. He concentrated hard, trying to grasp this unfamiliar feeling, and then, he opened his eyes in amazement. What he saw was no longer the darkness and chaos of Night City, but a pristine, mysterious space, pure and cold.
He subconsciously lowered his head to look at his body, only to find that his familiar fully mechanized form was no longer there. His body had become transparent and abstract, as if it were composed of nothing but numbers and codes. He stared in astonishment at his "body," then couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but his fingers passed through the body, touching only the cold emptiness.
His mind was filled with shock and confusion. He struggled to recall his memories, trying to find an explanation for all of this. As his consciousness flowed back, he gradually understood that he was now in a Numeric space. It seemed that his consciousness had been pulled into this space by some unknown force, while his body had not come along, leaving only his consciousness to wander in this virtual world.
Adam Smasher explores this new world with a mix of fear and curiosity. He tries to move but finds himself unable to control this digitized body, helplessly floating in this pristine void. His heart is filled with anger and helplessness, but also a hint of curiosity and desire to explore the unknown.
He doesn't know the significance of this Numeric space or what he will face. He can only feel the passage of time in this space, as well as the loneliness and confusion of his consciousness. He begins to wonder if this might be another form of life or a completely new beginning. However, he is also aware that regardless of what it is, he cannot change anything. He can only wait in this unknown world, waiting for the uncertainty of the future, waiting for new opportunities or an end. In this Numeric space, his consciousness slowly adapts and begins to accept this new "reality," even though it is vastly different from the reality he is familiar with.
