Assault on Dystopia

Ever since Sakura and I started to wreak havoc in Euphorium, she was taken away from me. And I need to get her back. We escaped together, but she didn't make it. Either one of us would get caught by the FCP, the Federal Cyber Police.

They are a secret branch of the military that is not seen by the real world. But in the simulated world that most citizens of Metro Manila don't know about, except those who wear the CodeX earpiece that is a shape of a triangular black chip.

Sakura was taken away because she's usually sedated and cannot keep up. We made a deal that I would break her out once I had a decent plan to free her from that prison they call Lithium Institute. I heard it's worse than any prison I know of in this dystopian world of highly high advanced technology where the sun never rises.

As I've learned so far, the sun in Metro Manila is nothing but an illusion created by the government. It's because they all drained the sun's energy to get their technologies working at their finest. So much just like solar energy, but they've taken it too far on it.

The plan was I'm supposed to be the one free, escaping, while she will be trapped inside the prison of Lithium Institute. Otherwise, she will be too sedated to free me out. That place is where they do extreme experiments on those who are mentally unstable, as I've heard so far.

Such as using the solar energy of the drained sun to use some non-lethal electrocution to her head and to see if she might be cured. The worst part about this is, what if she gets cured? And she will never be interested in being my partner in crime again.

The CodeX has multiple functions. Such as having your own personal GPS map or other menus and options projected right in front of your face from the earpiece once touched. That projection can only be seen by yourself and not by other people.

Some of its unique quirks can only be unlocked by a jail broken/cracked CodeX, such as the one I looted from that masked man who tried to kill me in a suit from his briefcase. It is some sort of military spec ops gadget that can have your vision of seeing people in 69 feet and 420 inches radius up to 5 stories of a building through walls and blocked paths.

Sadly, I can't use most of the full effects of my new supernatural-powered weapons. Such as shooting headshots without having to aim or firing multiple rounds as fast as a machine gun without recoil anymore due to this CodeX worn by a new user myself.

These CodeXes were connected to the weapons we found in the briefcase. And since I'm the new user. All of CoDex's credits, such as its e-wallet, can be paid virtually in a store of anything you touch instantly.

And its statistic skills that can be unlocked by how much experience you have depending on your specialisation, job, skills, and literally everything you do that will definitely make you almost inhuman.

I lost everything from it as soon as it was transferred to another user, myself. And forced itself to make a new user account with my real full name in it. Without having to interact with it. As if it knew my entire identity.

It only scanned my face, and it knew every little information I had except for those things I've done so far after the time I ran away from home. My theory is that this CodeX is made by a company that steals all of your data from a social platform. Then, I saw its company name during the introduction phase before I was instantly signed up which its company logo and name.

"META"

And I don't know what that is. Ever since I left years ago, I never knew the new social platforms anymore. All I knew was Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, the stuff, you know? But this one is different, META. Which means DEAD in Hebrew is feminine, and in Greek means TRANSCENDED. So, this company must make probably some kind of indie-developing social media that steals every information from your device.

Such as search engines through your microphone without your consent or permission. And uses that advantage to advertise what you recently said or typed into the machine. And once it's got enough money by advertising, it died quickly because of its leaking information online. There's probably already been a non-conspiracy, but a real story was revealed online about this. And made the platform die soon.

Or probably because of other companies making new platforms that made them look and seem better than the other platform. They had to make some changes. Such as creating a new mind-altering and controlling device such as this and rebranding their name as "META" because they have transcended from being small, large, then suddenly died. And revived from the dead by making this new technology.

But knowing that the CEO of this "META" stole all of our data. To control the masses and the population of the entire world.

I knew this because it's been a conspiracy theory online through CodeXes' social forums. All of them get deleted right after a few minutes, and these get posted every hour in my notifications. There are a million posts a day through the CodeX forums. Still, this topic is the only one that's been notifying me, but barely anyone comments or gives alike.

They talk a lot about controlling our freedom and privacy to dominate the world through its witty platform. I guess this CodeX only informs me about the conspiracy theories through notifications and nothing else that gets posted a million times a day.

Because the man I killed probably was into something about this. Although everything was reset as soon as it was transferred to me as a new user, it turns out it connects to something about this CodeX being jail broken.

I knew everything about this since the conspiracy theories that Sakura believed from the man I killed and its blooming flowers. And all those supernatural weapons and people disappearing once talked about it, either public or private.

It's because META sees it all. It is the ALL-SEEING EYE, which explains why META's logo was an eye and a pyramid. It's a pyramid scheme that recruits one person to another from highest to the lowest hierarchy that stands only one person from the very top, from alpha to omega, beginning and the end, and so on.

This is some kind of Illuminati bullshit, right?! I thought I was psychotic and crazy, but this one is bat shit insane!!!

Then, I received a message specifically for this CodeX and not the user, which I have learned so far. The user can be tracked, but the jail broken CodeX won't. It says:

"Hey,

Once the homeless man pays you after giving his briefcase, you provide it to him and return here. We've never seen your face before. From what we've heard so far, no one really knows you or your history, or whatever or wherever you've come from. No one knows at all.

But we'd like to learn more about you. Hell, we don't even know your face yet. Come to the underground bar that can be accessed through your CodeX. Without the CodeX online, you won't be able to get past through the door because it's just a wall in the real world. Still, the rendered simulation can make you see, touch, feel, and pass through it.

The password is '524', and its meaning is in Japanese. Since you like puzzles, we'd like to test your mind if you are brilliant. I'll give you the coordinates on your ARTIS. Make sure your CodeX is jail broken. But hell! You already figured that out on your own.

You're a mercenary, so you don't have to- like, um, have a boss or anything. 'Loyal to No Master and Loyal only to Gold' is all that poetic bullshit. I'm sorry, I said too much already. Alright, see you here, pretty boy.

Interesting, but most importantly, the only way to recharge these weapons depends on how many people I've killed. And its ammunition can only be bought off the black market that charged its empty magazine. Depending on how much you bought it from the CodeX anytime, its cryptosystem runs 24/7. That man probably must be rich by now.

And it doesn't need to physically change its magazine to reload. It's only way to replenish the magazine with so many mags with a limit on each clip's bullets is to spin it in the most perfect and precise manner. Without it having to fall or make a slight mistake. It must be flawless, like how Ocelot turns his revolvers. However, these engravings give no tactical advantage whatsoever.

Maybe with those guys' help, they can help me earn Sakura's freedom from Lithium Institute prison for the criminally insane.

But first, I had some kind of starter pack from CodeX's new user profile. It had 1,00,000 Satoshi coins. This is the dollar symbol, except its lines were the same as the Yen currency from Japan.

I went to the nearest convenience store, and once I touched the Monster Energy Drink that turned into MR. BEAST energy drink once worn the CodeX with the lesser letter "T" as its logo. My crypto credits were deducted, decreasing to 117 Satoshi Coins.

And I also touched a RedLight cigarette pack. It has 3 flavours. GreenLight is menthol that gives a mind-stimulating effect. YellowLight, a gold branded cigarette that sedates you into a slowly altered state of mind. And RedLight, a red filtered cigarette that helps you sleep, gives us the same effects as Xanax and the same dependency addiction level. It's literally the same effects as a traffic light on a car.

My Satoshi coins decreased by 120 crypto credits.
