Nier Automata: The Last God
Author's Note: Hey guys Daku Shirosaki here, and welcome to my first ever story I'm writing, a SI one more specifically. This one is about Nier Automata, a game that I recently played last year, but didn't have the time to complete it, Due to it being on Game Pass on Xbox one/ Xbox one X/Series S/Series X. Pls kill me ;-;. ANYWAYS~ enough about my lack of financial stability, let's move on with the story. Oh! And also there's gonna be a lot of reference in this story. Also the weapons that the MC is gonna have is from other games. One of them is a old game that aged like fine wine. It's a game is purely a masterpiece, both in the story and the meme materials
Those who know, knows.
Anyways! Let's get this show on the road!!
Disclaimer! I do not own Nier Automata or it's characters, and the weapons, they are own by their respective owners.

Prologue:
I'm in the world of Nier Automata?
(1st POV)
We all wonder, where do we end up at once death finally catches us in it's grasp? Many believe we all go to heaven, hell, or purgatory. Some believe we just die and go float in the endless abyss of the Void, others believe we become one with the Void. Some people simply believe we die and don't exist anymore. But many believe that we're simply reincarnated into a new body, some with our memories, some without, but some with partial memories. The answer? Is all the above. All of these assumptions are true to a lot of people, but not to everyone.
One of these people is me. Hi, my name is Xavier Moore. I'm 21 years old and is in college. I'm a African American, who is 5'7" ft tall, with a somewhat of a chubby gut and... manboobs.
Yeah I haven't done some cardio in a while.
I was watching a YouTube video of a VTuber reacting to a funny memes video, to watching lore videos about one of my favorite open world games, Nier Automata. I look at the time on my phone and it reads 3:45 am. Seeing this, I decided that I should go to bed and get some rest. I put my phone down and takes off my shirt and lay down on my back. I then look at my phone one more time and at the recent lore video I just got done watching about Nier Automata, Nier Replicant, and how the Nierverse became as a whole.
I turn my phone off and stare up at the ceiling, feeling bad for all the Androids and peaceful machine lifeforms in Nier Automata. But I then feel a cold anger to the world leaders, for dooming Humanity to extinction.
"And all because you killed Cain and Angelus, and not ask them for negotiations with the Maso problem. But noooo you idiotic, dumbasses just blew up your only chance of Humanity's survival out of the sky. Literally." I darkly chuckle at the irony of that pun. "Though if there's a chance I could at least give the Androids any type of hope, then maybe they could find some type of happiness or fulfillment from their sole purpose..." I said sadly. So I turn on my side and slowly close my eyes, letting sleep take over my body, mind, and soul.
Not knowing this will be my last day on this planet.
(Location: City Ruins, Near the factory)
Groaning from feeling very uncomfortable, I open up my eyes, only for me to be blinded by the bright light of the sun. Screaming like the gremlin one such myself is, I try to pull the covers over my head, but I quickly realize that I don't have my cover over my body. Quickly sitting up in a jolt, I look around and try to analyze the situation I'm up in. After a moment or two, I realized a few things. A.) Is that I'm near some old looking factory that had seen better days. B.) Some old rundown buildings near said factory, looking just as old, if not older, than the factory. Finally C.) The layout of this area seems familiar to me, but I can't recall why right now.
Shaking my head from such thoughts, that doesn't matter as of right now, right now I need to know...
" IS WHERE IN GOD'S FUCKING NAME AM I DOING OUT HERE!?" I screamed out loud, for all to hear. Fortunately for me, it doesn't look like I attracted any unwanted attention to myself. 'I also need to know how did I get here and how do I get back to the college I'm at...' I thought as I begin to worry about how my family and friends, both in real life and online, reacting to my sudden disappearance.
"Cause that the LAST thing I need to worry about right now..." I mutter to myself, looking down at myself to see if I'm still wearing my black and grey joggers. But my eyes widen in pure shock and disbelief from what I'm seeing.
'T-The hell!? Since when did I get such a fit body!?' I thought to myself, panicking a bit from the sudden change in my physique. Before, as I explained, I was someone who have muscles, but it's more noticeable from the parts of my neck, shoulder blades, biceps, triceps, and a bit from my forearm. My chest is not in shape, I have manboobs for christ sake! And I'm chubby as well, though it's not a lot, since I'm still somewhat athletic.
Now? Now it look like I did 6 or 9 months of cardio and lifting a bit of weights, but only 2 days a week. In other words? I have a muscular physique, but the abs are somewhat noticeable, and my cleavage isn't very noticeable unless one stared hard enough. Overall? I have a somewhat of a lean built, but it's not a lean, well-built body. But despite my shock, I couldn't stop the smile from spreading across my face.
"Yes! Finally! I got the body I wanted for all these years!!" I said cheerfully. But before I clap my hands in appreciation, I stop and stood there frozen, catching on to something.
'Chotto matte. I suppose to have the same body built all those years ago. So why do I just now have this somewhat lean built all of a sudden?' I thought to myself, as I stroke my beard from a habit of mine. 'Wait if my body is somewhat fit, fit enough to where I'll only need is a good solid 2 months, 6 if my pushing it, to have that lean well-built body I always wanted, does that mean-' I stop myself, my eyes widen from the sudden realization. 'But in order for me to confirm my theory...' I then raise my eyes up, and noticed that something is slightly block my line of sight.
My eyes widen further, while my heartbeat slowly picks up from the revelation of my theory. A theory of me having my hair long and good enough to twist it and to have dreads if I ever get isekai'd.
'Alright that's one down, now for the last one. And if I'm correct, then the sword should be right next to-' I felt my bare foot hit something hard and solid, making me wince a bit from hitting it with my pinky toe. Ignoring the pain for a minute, I look down and my eyes widen once more from the other revelation to my final theory. 'Yup, I figured as much...' I thought to myself, smiling sadly. As the object my foot hit was the exact replica of "Jetstream" Sam's high frequency blade "The Muramasa" from the masterpiece, and meme, of a game called Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. I picked it up and partially unsheathed the sword, sighing once more, but in sadness and dread. The sheath itself is exactly like how Sam had his. With the clip on it and everything.
but instead of the clip being a silvery grey color, it's more of a gun metal color, with a snarling dragon's face in the middle of it. the color of it is a Vermilion color. I look at the sheath entirely as it's has a serpent-like body, spinning around the sheath as if it's wrapping itself around it. The head of the dragon stops directly at the trigger. it's eyes are a fiery red color, as I could have swore the eyes were glowing for a minute. I shrug my shoulders and leave a mental note about it.
The other noticeable difference was the blade itself. Instead of a beautiful bright red color with bright red electricity dancing around it, the blade is a midnight black color, as black as the void, and the electricity is a dark grey color. The handle being a crimson red color. The button on the handle, that is the same button for the ID lock on Sam's sword, but it is the same color as it was from the game. I couldn't help but to marvel at the weapon as a whole. Every single detail from the sheath, and the handle looks so majestic in my eyes as my mind begins to get lost by just looking at it, like it's the Mona Lisa. But then my mind reminded me that my final theory was correct, and I couldn't help but to chuckle softly and sadly, slowly sheathing the blade until a satisfying click! rings out.
'Welp. I guess I'm truly here then huh?...' I thought, before I begin to remember what the layout reminds me of. Sighing once again, I close my eyes and lift my head to the cloudy sky, before hitting the nail on the coffin by saying, "I'm in Nier Automata."
End of Prologue.

So how did I do? Did I do good? Or did I do poorly? Please let me know in the reviews and I want feedback too constructive criticism is allowed, since I'm not so deep in the Nier Automata, Nier Replicants, and The Drakengard series lore like most of the fans, but I'll be happy you guys can help me with that by messaging or adding me on Discord Daku ダーク #3531 (no spacing) and help me know more about the Nier and Drakengard series as a whole. Because this story is gonna be slightly AU, but it'll still follow canon mostly.
P.S. I'm also editing the chapter from a few grammar errors, doing a few word placements, etc.
Welp that's all for now and I'll see you guys later! Peace!
