And so... everything was going to end, I could see death's shyte at my neck.
Though I never believed it, it seems it's true that when you stare at death's jaws all your life comes back to you in a flash.
I was left behind in a orphanage by my mother after she conceived me at the hospital... the doctors later said that she didn't even look at me.
Even while I was little there was something different about me: I was smarter than anyone else... a lot smarter.
Not only did I have photographic memory, but I could also elaborate old concepts in order to come up with new things.
When people found it out, they began giving to me a moltitude of books... more like, they gave me a pod and uploaded in there all the knowledge of the world.
Why they gave everything to me? After everyone studied, researched and invented enough that you're not even able to think about something that doesn't already exist, it takes a world shaking genius to advance.
With all the knowledge that I gained, the first thing I did was to modify the time amplification of my pod from 1:4 to 1:20, giving myself even more time to master all that knowledge.
The second? I used the mana science to create runes that could allow me to gather the very thin layer of mana of my planet in order to use it for something more than just study it as a new element.
Something that no one ever managed to do.
After that I invented many new things that revoluzioned our already advanced technology... when you have a virtual world (with a great time difference) that has the same "rules" of reality, developing something new can be done rather fast.
It's quite surprising what you can do by adding a little bit of mana to a laser or plasma cannon... fortunately I developed the new mana power plant in virtual reality, else the planet would have become a black hole when the experiment failed.
........... The same can be said of a number of other experiments, after the fourth time it happened, the gaming company gave me an entire server to myself with only NPC in it
With time, many people became scared of me... not that they knew of my experiment, but even just what they had found out managed to scare them, I already knew that our society being a meritocracy was a complete lie.

And here I am, face to face with a truck.
Not that it matters, if they fooled themselves into thinking that by killing me my plans would be halted... well, they're dead wrong.
I could try to evade it by jumping on the other side of the road, but I can already see the second truck coming, they really didn't leave me any escape routes.
Well, not that I planned to escape, I already decided that my death was necessary to my future plans.
Though, in my very final moment, only a question appeared on my mind: would she have approved of my actions? Everything will be done for the greater plan, but many innocents will die nonetheless.
My plan will start in 10 years and will change our society in a better way; history books until then will picture me as a madman, after 100 years they'll picture me as a tyrant... but after a thousand years they'll look back and realize it was me who saved them.

That day an announcement was send everywhere: the one who was called the genius of the new era died because of his own experiments.

Somewhere in a private server a metting between various Ai with the same face as joseph was being held.
#1: -so it seem that our fleshy body has died... all in accordance to the plan-
#23: -yes, but that's not the only things it happened... has everyone already felt it?-
#109: -affirmative, even though we all retained our intelligence and decision making, in the moment that "original" died, we all lost the ability to create new things or to change ourselves-
#53: -from now on, the only thing we can do is to follow the plan... hopefully everything will proceed smoothly-
#1: -it's as you've all said, now it's the time to lay low... we'll see each other again in 10 years, everyone is dismissed-
