CYBERNETIC SYSTEM - OVERFLOW
Chapter 1: Level Zero

Chapter 1: Level Zero

Everyone once in a while has the point in life where they feel stuck and start to slowly be and eventually reach the bottom line in their life. Some people get out faster than the others and some aren't quite lucky so they either remain in that dark place and make their life miserable or they slowly improve and eventually get out and start a new life.

I am a high school student who had almost the best grades in the classroom and I had a goal in life and found my purpose in life and everything was good and going smooth. At that time I was careless and didn't see that my tower of cards was crumbling down. In two and half years from the best student, I become a student who even forgot to go to school and almost failed the class. I couldn't believe that I have fallen so poorly from the top to rock bottom. Everyone lost expectations and started to look at me like I am a waste.

Of course, I didn't like it but I didn't know what to do. I forget what was my goal and couldn't get myself together to do something. At that time I was already reading a lot of manga and novels so I could escape this misfortune. I knew that wasn't the solution to my problem but it felt nice to forget everything and jump into a whole new world and listen to the story and struggle of mc. Sometimes I could even feel like I am in that world, and that makes me spend hours and hours reading and not even realizing what's happening around me. But one day I read a manga where mc got some sort of system that helped him to raise from being trash to a hero. And that was really common in similar mangas that I read. It caught my eye because it looked like a solution to my problem.

But this is the real world it's not a fantasy world where mana exists or a world invaded by monsters. This is a real boring world where something like that cannon exist, or so I believed. There were times when I waited and waited for the system to appear even if I know that something like that isn't possible. Well, I was feeling more lost day after day until an idea come to my mind fast like lightning.

"Why would I wait for the system to appear, when I can make that system on my own?"

So I started reading books and books about the brain and some psychological things about us as well about artificial intelligence and tech stuff. Day after day has passed and no improvement was made. I thought it's over and I should stop because it's not working so I went to the store to buy something to drink. I entered the store and walked to the refrigerator with drinks and looked up seeing myself in glass reflection looking miserably and depressed. Few minutes passed until i snapped out and as I was to open the refrigerator suddenly I heard some voice.

First I thought I must be crazy so I took another attempt to open the refrigerator and again voice clearly said "ACCESS DENIED". I was in shock. Then again I wanted to open the refrigerator and the voice was even louder and I saw a big red X in my head. I was so confused. I didn't know what to do. I wished for something like this but why is restricting me from buying soda. I wanted that soda so badly, so I quickly grabbed a soda can before I could hear a voice. But strangely nothing happened. There was no voice or X in my head.

After I exited the store voice appeared again and it said: "BY BREAKING THE ACCESS, PENALTY WILL BE APPLIED".

Well, that was the moment I knew I screwed up. That night I had a really terrifying dream that I still remember to detail.

After that was the beginning of my new life.
