2024-10-29 19:42:56A flat 36-inch screen stood in a room decorated with white tiles. And a man talking towards a screen with sweat on his face.
He advertised the shop's wares with so much intensity that a customer couldn't remain unaffected.
Again, and, again, and again, he tried his best to secure deals with potential customers. After some time, a 6 feet tall man entered the room, signaling that Allen's shift was over. The man named Cooper smiled and greeted Allen. Allen created the best smile he could muster with his low energy and left the room after greeting Cooper. Outside, he saw the ad playing something that caught his eye.
"Do you desire to contribute to the betterment of humanity? Come join us at Excel! As a side benefit, there's also good salary and bonuses. All people with knowledge are welcome!"
Allen looked at it longingly and then went to a library; it was time to do more brain work till the night.
The Sun's rays were yet to hide when he entered the Grand Library. He met his friends, the old books, and the faint lights. After hours at the library, he did some stretching to get rid of the stiffness from sitting too long.
The whole environment made a person forget everything, but it was time to go.
Afterward, he navigated through valleys and reached a small house. Allen slipped an Identification card and entered a dimly lit room in which moonlight was seeping through the gaps in the curtains.
He passed by a bedroom in the house and saw his sister sleeping with her head on the table. He returned her to bed and continued upstairs to prepare for the D Day tomorrow. Obviously, for the grueling test!
If he passed or failed, he would not have to worry about their expenses.
If he failed the test, it would leave him with no better choice than to take financial support from the Government which he didn't want to.
Automation and machine efficiency developed in the last 100 years decreased the need for humans to work, while also increasing available resources.
Most people can get by themselves. Less than 1% of people might need financial support. Of which only 0.1% will accept it and others will do odd jobs.
If he took the deal, the goal he had in his mind would no longer be achievable. The goal is for them to be able to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle.
So despite some difficulties, he continued to do odd jobs for their living expenses.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
After waking up in the morning, Allen took a short bath.
Today was the day of the test for him. The institution normally only admits 50 to 100 people from more than tens of thousands of applicants. These last few years were an exception including a quota of over 500 people.
However, many applicants perhaps paced around even more anxiously because of this. The victory seemed so close, yet so far.
The distance from his house to downtown was not small but he had gotten accustomed to it after a few months.
He arrived at the examination site. The test site was also owned by the institution.
Allen was not very surprised to see that a large number of applicants had already arrived. They might have been nervous or worried about the test. There were only a small portion of the total applicants in this area.
Soon the test began as the five examiners arrived. The head examiner had a strict businessman face. Just like his face said, he conducted the test fairly and things got done smoothly.
It was time for the result announcement soon.

"Passed" was just one word, but it evoked a lot of emotions. Allen got a notification of a mail from the institute congratulating him on passing and telling him to wait for the examiners.You could tell who passed and who failed by checking the expressions of the examinees. They have used much of their time for it but failed, who would not be disappointed and sad in their situation. Institute also took tests like Health and Fitness tests and talent tests in various fields of Biology. So, people who came this far were a single step away and had a lot of time and energy investment.All candidates except those who passed started to vanish from there slowly. Some time passed and one examiner came to ask the candidates who passed to follow him.Allen and the other candidates who had passed followed him and arrived at the place where some other examiners were gathered.The head examiner turned his head towards us, and his always strict face became somewhat amicable.He said, "Congratulation

Allen had directly sent the given data to the Mr. Steven(now he had a personal contact number of his), the things that were to be followed were a bit too complicated for the group at the current stage(even with A.I. helping).Anyways, that was in the past.

Allen turned around a corner and started to walk fast. There were people following him now and then. The last time he saw them, they were wearing formal black suits. The times they followed him most were when there were a lot fewer people around the area.

He needed to launch “Video Streaming”, the domain’s version of Nettflix here to accomplish his task. The content was already quite a lot of content in the market. He hence had to provide them with new and better stuff, and he took this challenge.He looked at the prices of some directors, and they were way above his reach. Some other less known directors found his ideas not in the trend and hence they would not sponsor the project. What he did was he searched for the closet film production university that was accepting admissions and made his camp there. Allen waited for the exam to finish and, by looking at the faces of the people who came outside, he already guessed who was thinking what. He picked some of them, taking advantage of the fact that they were in an excited emotional state. He talked to multiple of them and got their numbers. After that wa

After a quick summary, he then read the second book, reading to its half, he left it there.He got a general idea for the day. This country had quite bad ties with another neighboring country of its. Both of the countries were split from a single country a few centuries ago, and they had feuds in between them based on their respective ideologies. The other country had, over the centuries, progressed more than them, because of their flexible ideology. The people of this country, although disliked it, could not or did not make a strong attempt enough to break this trend.Most of the things here were copies of the other country. &

After what seemed like a few mins, he opened his eyes as a student, as a university student this time.Allen now thankfully had enough clues to figure out what game this domain wanted him to play. It was making him go from one education age to another, primary to secondary, making him face the wall of tests again and again. Then, it gave him some buffer time by sending him to a free time of the high school year. He admitted. He was getting side-tracked as time went by because the vision and goal that he wanted to accomplish had become blurry after several months. The drive behind everything that he did before was almost gone. The major problem was that the memories of his were not fully available and hence he could not get himself to do a lot, as he was losing his steam, his motivation.Now, with the clearest idea since the time he came into the domain, his purpose became a lot clear again. It boosted his drive. He wrote down the things that he n

He didn’t fuss about the extra Smith that the man added in his name.Allen said, “The thing is that I surrendered. There was a gun in my mind and a person on the ground, and-and police were surrounding me from every side? No, from three sides, one side was left open”The man said, “I knew that surrendering was the most likely. It was unlikely that the government could catch you so easily else-wise. If that was the case, they would have done this months ago. Their torture and other threats would not have worked, I know. But now, I would like to ask you why did you surrender, but you say you forgot most of the things. Anything that you remember right now?”The second man sa

The monkey was hiding in the trees with a bird. The bird was not liking the rain, but there was not much it could do now. It had already tried to warn the monkey of the season change a couple of hours ago. The monkey, however, did not want to retreat so fast, because of reasons that the both of them were aware of, but the bird had to listen to the monkey because of the same reasons.The money knew it was not good to force the bird because of its legit concern, so it tried to follow the direction of the cage trail. When it reached there, it found only a broken cage. In anger, it ran circles around but found nothing else. Hence, the only option was to go with the bird. Therefore, both of them were stuck together. The dog also could not pursue the enemy because of the rain having washed many traces.The rain went on for more than half a day. Sometimes, it would become a little less and sometimes it was quick. But it was a good thing that there was n

Directions of the ants were different when they detected this emergency. They were returning to their nest from here, as was clear from the number of increased ants with time. But, they were also going somewhere else, somewhere the trio probably didn’t want them to go.

So he asked Yushin and Mule to go ahead and make some cave in the mountain place that they were on before and leave some markings on the way for him to follow.The trainer arrived, looking very thrilled.Yushin looked at Mule, who went running and stopped the trainer in his tracks asking about the meat.The trainer in his smile said that hopefully the situation will not develop to that stage, but that he brought some meat with him.
