As the live countdown ticks to 0, Zavrazin appears on the screen with enthusiasm. He smiled and bowed his head. He wears a cosplay costume with some technological accessories during the live show. It is based on his favorite science fiction show.

Zarvazin is a guy with a black eyes and a blue hair. He has a military haircut and some muscles on his 6’0 feet body.

“Hello cosplayers of Alonica! All over the country of our beloved continent, I’m calling out to any passionate cosplayers to watch my live show.”

“The nations of Bulacan, Mizukuma, Central Alonica, Snheziya, Hiraya, Uchua and Otrea, I’m happy to present our invention to the public!”

During his life, a mysterious guy with an aesthetic green costume that looks like a luxurious school uniform shouts at Zavrazin. The costume seems to be from a prestigious education institute from another continent.

This boy has a slim 5’4 body with little to no muscle. He has a youthful face with a green eyes and a red straight hair. His hair was cropped short on the sides and back, with longer, wispy bangs that fell over his forehead, covering his left eye.

“Don’t underestimate my Cosplay Costume! I know your wrongdoings that you did against the original creator of this technology.” He smiled.

“URGH! Are you a beta tester? How did you... power your AReality.js abilities?”

“Heh? Your random staffs have released already the Fabric Computer Interface. It seems pathetic that your Augmented Reality is enabled, isn’t it?”

The green-costumed guy grabs the microphone standing in front of Zarvazin, and he spoke to live. “Ladies and Gentleman, please kindly turn on your AR devices for a perfect showdown!”

“Y... You will pay for this!” Zarvazin closed up his fist, his eyebrows raising while staring at the guy.

The guy taps an unknown chip on his green costume, and it takes him to Augmented Reality. His costume glows a green light like a firefly.

Zarvazin did the same thing. He managed to create a fireball using his hands.

“URGH, my... costume will be... burned?!” The guy tears out as he sees the fireball.

“You’re correct. Who asked you to disrupt my life?”

As the fireball is on Zarvazin’s hands, the guy’s costume is glowing more. He positioned his body, going to attack Zarvazin using his bare fist.

Many viewers of the stream cannot believe what they see. Some comments are shocking.

“I will tell my friends about this one. It’s an exciting technology that I can rizz with my cosplay friends.” A comment said.

Zarvazin launched his fireball into a guy’s costume, every piece of his cosplay sprayed around. The ground is now full of fabric fragments from his beloved cosplay costume.

His tears dropped as he saw the ground full of white and green fragment pieces. His fist closed up like a rock.

He shouts like a child to Zarvazin. “This costume is a gift from my school and you will just destroy it? You will end up in Inezkanan for your entire life!”

His adrenaline flows through his veins. Every fabric that was lost from his Cosplay Costume is equivalent to one drop of tears.

“Fighting back? In your dreams!” Zarvazin punched the guy in the face, his blood came out from his nose. His eyes wide up, agonizing the pain. His vision blurs after the punch.

“Take this!” His costume glows a light blue color, symbolizing the color of wind. A tornado-like small circle is formed from his hand.

“Is this the power of your costume?” Zarvazin’s eyes widen out on what he saw.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

After a few moments, Zarvazin dealt with a massive pain from a mysterious circle made from the guy’s costume. In the real world, he vomits plenty of blood. It drops to the ground, producing a sticky noise.

Zarvazin sits on the floor, resting for a while, his body sobbing from the pain.

“I do not tolerate your behavior for stealing someone’s intellectual property. We will meet again soon! If not, a law of retribution will do it for me.” The guy said.

The guy flees the scene and turns off his AR device.

“My costume is just a level one while he is now 30? Wait? Is that guy an intern lawyer? He is a guy named Atty. Eichi?” Zarvazin collapsed on the ground with a weakened voice.

Zarvazin has been admitted to the emergency room for a bodily injury despite the fact that the guy’s attack is just an augmented reality illusion.

“Did I just taste my own medicine? It’s just computer-generated fantasy magic. Why did it hurt my internal body so badly?” Zarvazin asked Ezekiel while he was lying on the hospital bed.

“I... I don’t know, this strange fabric computer interface software is stolen by Lynard from a work-from-home monitored laptop with a number #61.”

“There’s so many mysteries ahead about this technology. Even me, the CEO of a big tech company in Alonica, cannot understand the source code of this thing. I even called out the most performing hacker in our company, but she failed.”

Ezekiel takes a deep breath. His heart is pounding. “Boss Zarvazin, let me tell you that 1 week before you host this launch event today, I accidentally released the software to the public, free of charge.”

Zarvazin stands out from his hospital bed despite his condition. A sense of grudge flow through his veins. “Did you even make the source code public?”

His body is shaking, while his tears are dropping. He can feel the fear messing with his mind. “Y... Yes, I also make the code accessible by the public (open source). During that time, t... the mouse glitched out, so I clicked the publish with source code. One more thing, two hundred thousand users already cloned/forked the software. That means they can develop a replica or a variant of the technology.”

Zarvazin raised his hand. He grabbed Ezekiel’s neck to choke him, the veins on his hands popping out.

“Ezekiel Ezekiel Ezekiel, are you kidding me? You waste so much potential sales for our company. If you wait for me in the office and you leave the publishing job to me, you shall be alive tomorrow!”

“URGH!” a voice that his life will be taken away echoed around the hospital. After that incident, blood splattered around.

There’s so many mystery lies in this stolen technology

Then as usual, for the name of money, I would study about this thing.

It’s cloned 200k times, so I expect that most of the computer nerds are going to make a variant on this software.

I need to find out about the mysteries of the Fabric Computer Interface to make a profit! Even if I put blood on my hands, money is my priority. Even if I steal someone’s belongings, that doesn’t matter to me!

Academic Office - The Mountain Nation (Outside of Alonica) September 18 2029 4:50PM (Alonica Standard Time)

==============================================================================================================

Inside the academic institute surrounded by nature-made fresh air, Eichi is sitting in his dorm room. Beside his table are two of his classmates, typing on their computer.

“That guy, they are called Zarvazin, just destroyed my second heart, which is my costume!”

Eichi smashed the table using his hard-rocked fist. He grabbed the attention of his classmates beside him.

The worker on the left side approached him. “Attorney Eichi, what are you talking about? Your costume is still intact. Is this an AR thing?”

“I don’t care whether this is a damn AR or a real life damage! This cosplay is my second life!”

Eichi breaks the window beside him. Every piece of glass splattered around with an eardrum rupturing banging noise.

As he punched the window, a foreign screen appeared in front of him even though his augmented reality/smart glasses were worn out.

“Fabric Computer Interface or AReality.js? I... Is it just a game disguised as an intriguing, mysterious technology?”

In the room #14 of Bulacan Medical Center's inpatient room, Zarvazin was holding his younger sister's hand. His sister's name is Arseni.

Arseni was lying on the hospital bed, an eye-puzzling wires from the life support machine has been connected to her body. It was accompanied by the beeping sound of a heart beat monitor.

Zarvazin bow his head, he grabs Arseni's hand and put it near on his mouth. "My sister, I would do anything to pay for the bills and get you recovered. Even I face the capital punishment from puting a blood on my hands, I will push myself!"
