A young woman of slender build with light skin. She has naturally white hair and red-purple eyes. She wears light red eye and lip makeup. Her hair is cut in a split bob - with her left side left longer - and dyed with a colorful pastel rainbow gradient. Her eyes appear to reflect with the colors of her hair.
Was just cruising by, she was in the ghetto parts of the city. She was getting her next steal by herself. As she was already experienced enough to not need the other guys help for something so small.
A quick buck she had to make.
As she was in the bad alleyways, she came across some seller sitting on the ground. Having a large blanket with lots of things on it.
"I got nice things little lady!"
The man had not many teeth's, his body wasn't up to date. Compared to the others he didn't have the latest tech integrated into his body. The woman looked at the stuff until something caught her eye. The vendor quickly saw what she was looking at a book.
It felt like it was drawing to her, it's appearance looked magical. Something that seemed to have history. The man eyes sparkled, as he gave a toothy grin knowing what to say next.
"You like what you see missy?"
The woman hummed, as she contemplated if she truly wants to grab it for herself. She looked at the other vendors who sold stuff scraps and stuff that could possibly be valuable.
"I guess I do."
"That book there, worth about eight hundred eddies"
The woman squinted at the man, he was being quite greedy for a mere book even if it looked quite exotic.
'Hehe! That book had nothing on it, just blank on every page but the appearance at least can fetch some value.'
He wasn't going to keep it, he was going to sell it.
"Can I see what's inside?"
"Nope! Buy and it's yours."
Like the man would let them see it, it's blank with nothing. Just a decorative book for those with hobbies to collect beautiful books.
"Deal."
She didn't care, she had some money to spare and she didn't know why a gut feeling pushed her to buy it. Her eyes glowed blue as the money transferred to the man through an virtual connection. A panel that popped up indicating that money was taken from her account.
The man received a pop up and saw the money depositing to him. He grinned, luckily he caught some slacker woman to buy it from him.
"All yours missy!"
She took it, and went back home before she even opened it.

Half naked on the bed, she had put a chip in her cyberware port. As, she was laying down and gazing at the ceiling.
She thought past so dark, she wished that she could live another life. But, she had a team even though she would still be wary of them. They grew on her, because one would say they were family. Still she had her boundaries and trusting people in that sort of field where she worked as a mercenary.
Now the chip made it's magic and it showed her in a virtual simulation. That also felt real as she was on the moon, she had a dream and it may be silly. She wanted to go to the moon, but she was stuck here.
But she's working to save that money up. Though she wonders if she should still chase that silly dream of hers. More so escape from this city, this city filled with chaos and murders.
Big cooperates were here it would be best for her to move out the city. But she was under someone's watchful eye. Someone with authority and ruling to which he will find her. Especially when she is in a crew that works with that man.
Monitoring their every move, they were mercenaries who specially contracted to that man.
The woman just looked at herself float in the moons gravity. She smiled, this does send a sense of peace in her mind. Forgetting her current life where she hacked and stole for extra money.
'I want to be at peace.....I don't know how long will I go for.'
She then stopped for some minutes and left the virtual world. As she sat up and went to find the stuff she bought from the shady street.
'Now this...'
She found the book, and with great curiosity she opened it. Revealing a symbol, then she flipped the page she saw writing.
'Instructions? Well, this is probably some bullshit kids game.'
Not until she read it through and she squinted to make sure she was reading it right. She rose her brow, and was confused but intrigued.
'A drop of blood and then chant the words, alright then.'
It was like those fantasy books, well she was someone that like to be curious but also know if she would back off from danger.
She bit her index finger and let a drop of blood hit the book.
"Nunce Je Lomun relio Sabas!"
[A/N: Ngl can anybody come up with a cool summoning chanting spell? Like if one was summoning the emperor of the universe or something more cooler in English because this chanting spell is straight gibberish.....unless you guys are fine with it.]
A giant magic circle appeared before her, she was startled as she dropped the book. But it was to late to stop it now.
"Eh!?"
