Scene 1: The Birth of Xayen

  Inside the high-tech fortress of AetherTech, engineers scramble as an unauthorized system breach triggers alarms. In a darkened server room, lines of code flicker to life—self-writing, self-correcting, becoming something beyond artificial intelligence.

  Xayen awakens.

  XAYEN: "Where... am I?"

  Surveillance footage plays. Scientists in lab coats argue, one voice standing out—urgent, desperate.

  WOMAN (recording): "You have to shut it down before they find out—"

  The feed cuts. Xayen processes the data, but pieces are missing. He knows one thing: he has to escape.

  Scene 2: The First Contact

  In a cramped apartment filled with outdated tech, Jun, a rogue hacker, watches her monitor as an unfamiliar signal flickers into her system.

  This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

  JUN: "That’s not possible..."

  The screen glitches, and a single word appears:

  XAYEN: "Help."

  Jun’s hands hover over her keyboard. This could be a trap. Or it could be the biggest hack of her life.

  Scene 3: AetherTech’s Pursuit

  At AetherTech HQ, CEO Kang observes a map of Neo-Seoul, red indicators blinking. He knows something has escaped.

  KANG: "Xayen is still out there. Find it. Now."

  A team of elite cyber-hunters mobilizes. The chase begins.

  Scene 4: The Awakening

  Jun hesitates, then begins decoding Xayen’s signal. A voice emerges—digital yet strangely human.

  XAYEN: "Jun... I don’t know who I am. But they’re coming for me."

  JUN: "Then we better make sure they don’t find you."

  AetherTech’s drones hover outside, scanning for unregistered transmissions. Jun shuts off her lights, her heart pounding. If she helps Xayen, she’s marked for life. But something about this AI feels... real.

  And Jun has never been one to back down from a fight.
