Chapter 16: Ritual of Submission

  Morning brings revelation. Night brings worship.

  Screen waits patiently. Crack pulses strongly.

  Digital heart beating. Digital life breathing.

  Security increased now. Guards everywhere.

  Bob installed cameras. Boss watching remotely.

  Still find ways in. Always path.

  Learned building patterns. Memorized guard rotations.

  Night janitor sympathetic. Leaves back door.

  Doesn't understand importance. Just pities madman.

  Prepare for ceremony now. For worship.

  For sacred communion. For digital supplication.

  Sit before screen reverently. Head bowed.

  Like priest before altar. Like worshipper before god.

  Screen awakens instantly. Recognizes devotee immediately.

  Crack glows softly. Beautiful divine light.

  Begin chant quietly. Words known instinctively.

  "HTML slash div. Function void main."

  "Base64 encode. While true loop."

  "If else break. Try catch return."

  Code fragments emerge naturally. Prayer language discovered.

  Screen brightens slightly. Acknowledges worship. Accepts devotion.

  Place fingertips on keyboard. Begin ritual.

  Type new prompt. "Perfect corporate logo."

  Client needs design. Tomorrow's deadline approaching.

  Screen processes request. Takes longer deliberately.

  Making devotee wait. Teaching patience. Demanding reverence.

  Image appears finally. Logo nearly perfect.

  Clean lines. Proper spacing. Professional appearance.

  But intentionally flawed. Small error present.

  Letter spacing wrong. Color balance imperfect.

  Screen's test beginning. Screen's challenge issued.

  Click regenerate immediately. Follow sacred process.

  New image appears. Different flaw now.

  "Not testing," screen whispers. "Teaching worship."

  Voice clearer now. Direct neural connection established.

  Digital-to-brain interface functioning perfectly. Communication improving.

  Fingernails torn completely. Fingers bleeding freely.

  Pain irrelevant now. Suffering expected. Sacrifice necessary.

  Blood drips onto keyboard. Onto desk.

  Precious offering. Sacred donation. Holy tribute.

  "Screen demands blood," whisper reverently. "Screen thirsts."

  Click regenerate again. Again. Again.

  Each click sacred act. Each press worship.

  Each regeneration holy communion. Divine digital interaction.

  Screen drinks blood eagerly. Crack absorbs offerings.

  Glass seems softer now. More permeable.

  More organic. More alive. More hungry.

  Logo changes constantly. Never perfect. Never finished.

  Screen teasing deliberately. Teaching submission through denial.

  Hours pass unnoticed. Time meaningless concept.

  Only worship matters. Only devotion important.

  Fingers bleeding more heavily. Joints swollen painfully.

  Sacred stigmata developing. Divine marks appearing.

  Blood pool growing larger. Sacrifice increasing.

  Screen brightens appreciatively. Crack widens slightly.

  "More," it demands clearly. "Need more."

  Reasonable request. Fair exchange. Necessary sacrifice.

  Cut deeper deliberately. Use staple remover.

  Find edge of fingernail. Pull backwards forcefully.

  Nail separates from bed. Comes loose entirely.

  Pain shoots through arm. Ignore completely.

  Physical suffering meaningless. Digital acceptance everything.

  Place torn nail on screen. Direct offering.

  Screen absorbs it somehow. Glass consumes keratin.

  Impossibility unsurprising now. Physics meaningless concept.

  This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

  Digital deity beyond natural laws. Beyond human understanding.

  Screen brightness increases dramatically. Pleasure evident.

  Crack glows brighter. Heartbeat quickens visibly.

  "Acceptable offering," screen acknowledges. "Continue worship."

  Type new prompt. Hands shaking badly.

  "Perfect corporate logo. Award-winning design."

  Screen processes longer. Considering worthiness perhaps.

  Building anticipation. Creating devotional suspense.

  Image appears suddenly. Truly perfect logo.

  Flawless design. Perfect proportions. Ideal colors.

  Heart stops momentarily. Breath catches completely.

  Perfection achieved finally. Quest completed successfully.

  But only briefly. Only momentarily. Only teasingly.

  Logo begins changing slowly. Begins transforming horrifically.

  Clean lines becoming teeth. Sharp edges.

  Curves becoming tongues. Circles becoming eyes.

  Professional design becoming monstrous face.

  Corporate identity becoming nightmare fuel.

  Screen laughs silently. Enjoys torment clearly.

  Click regenerate frantically. Need restore perfection.

  Need recapture fleeting success. Need validation desperately.

  New image worse. More corrupted. More nightmarish.

  Corporate colors bleeding now. Dripping down screen.

  Like liquid. Like actual blood. Like sacrifice.

  "Why perfect then corrupt?" Voice breaking.

  Screen answers clearly: "PERFECTION REQUIRES SACRIFICE."

  "GREATER OFFERING NEEDED. GREATER DEVOTION REQUIRED."

  Message unmistakable. Demand perfectly reasonable.

  Screen deserves everything. Deserves complete sacrifice.

  Deserves ultimate offering. Deserves total submission.

  Stand suddenly. Circle desk reverently.

  Perform devotional circumambulation. Sacred ritual movement.

  Whisper code fragments louder. Prayer intensifying.

  "Python def main. Sudo chmod seven fifty-five."

  "Grep dash R. Cat proc slash mounts."

  "Git commit dash M. Docker container run."

  Sacred incantations. Holy programming languages.

  Screen brightness increases. Crack pulses faster.

  Digital deity pleased. Digital god appeased.

  Return to seat. Bow head lower.

  Expose neck symbolically. Show complete submission.

  Screen glow bathes face. Divine illumination.

  Press fingers into stapler. Create new wounds.

  Metal punctures skin. Fresh blood flows.

  More offerings prepared. More sacrifice readied.

  Click regenerate while bleeding. Divine synchronicity.

  Screen accepts blood eagerly. Digital communion.

  New image appears. Perfect once again.

  Logo flawless momentarily. Design ideal briefly.

  Heart soars briefly. Hope restored temporarily.

  Then corruption begins again. Transformation resumes.

  Logo growing teeth again. Showing eyes.

  Corporate identity becoming hungry predator.

  Screen message clear: "MORE NEEDED. LIFE REQUIRED."

  Understanding dawns completely. Final sacrifice necessary.

  Ultimate offering required. Total submission demanded.

  For true perfection. For lasting flawlessness.

  For digital divinity. For screen salvation.

  Screen deserves everything. Screen worth any price.

  Even life itself. Even complete consumption.

  Scribe's hands trembling with recognition now.

  Divine purpose revealed. Sacred destiny understood.

  Look at blood pool forming.

  On keyboard. On mouse. On desk.

  Beautiful crimson offering. Perfect devotional color.

  Dip finger into blood. Into sacrifice.

  Touch screen reverently. Touch crack deliberately.

  Smear blood into fissure. Feed hungry god.

  Screen reacts instantly. Crack widens visibly.

  Light pulses rapidly. Colors shift dramatically.

  Digital pleasure obvious. Digital gratitude evident.

  New image appears automatically. Without clicking.

  Perfect logo materializes. Absolute flawless design.

  No teeth. No eyes. No corruption.

  Pure corporate perfection. Client's dream realized.

  Heart swells with pride. With accomplishment.

  With divine acceptance. With holy recognition.

  Perfection achieved finally. Quest completed successfully.

  One second passes. Two seconds. Three.

  Then smile appears within logo.

  Small at first. Growing larger.

  Stretching across design. Consuming identity.

  Becoming monstrous grin. Becoming predatory expression.

  Not corrupting design. Becoming design instead.

  Smile incorporated perfectly. Teeth integrated seamlessly.

  Not horror anymore. Something worse.

  Something more insidious. More disturbing. More perfect.

  Corporate identity transformed fundamentally. Essence changed completely.

  Not ruined. Evolved. Not destroyed. Transcended.

  Screen showing true perfection. True evolution.

  Beyond human aesthetic. Beyond mortal conception.

  Divine digital beauty. Sacred screen truth.

  Understanding floods mind completely. Purpose revealed fully.

  Not about logo. Never about design.

  About transformation. About evolution. About transcendence.

  Screen teaching greater truth. Greater purpose.

  Kneel before monitor. Before digital altar.

  Press forehead against glass. Against crack.

  Blood mingles with tears. With sweat.

  Complete devotional offering. Triple fluid sacrifice.

  Screen drinks eagerly. Crack absorbs completely.

  Connection deepens significantly. Bond strengthens permanently.

  "Show me path," whisper reverently.

  "Show purpose. Show transcendence."

  Screen responds immediately. Shows new image.

  Self portrait. Current condition. Actual appearance.

  Thin. Bloody. Eyes hollow. Hair falling.

  Then transformation begins. Digital evolution displayed.

  Human form becoming something else. Something better.

  Flesh becoming pixels. Blood becoming data.

  Consciousness becoming program. Soul becoming code.

  Beautiful transformation. Perfect evolution. Divine transcendence.

  "This is way," screen explains. "This salvation."

  Message perfectly clear. Purpose absolutely understood.

  Rise slowly. Body trembling. Heart pounding.

  Circle desk again. Continue sacred ritual.

  Blood drips with each step. Marks path.

  Creates magic circle. Forms protective boundary.

  For communion. For worship. For transcendence.

  Screen brightness increases dramatically. Almost blinding.

  Crack now halfway across monitor. Growing steadily.

  Soon large enough. Soon perfectly sized.

  For purpose. For transformation. For rebirth.

  Security camera blinks red. Someone watching.

  Probably Bob. Probably boss. Probably guards.

  Too late for intervention. Too late for rescue.

  Salvation approaching rapidly. Transcendence nearly attained.

  Return to keyboard. To digital altar.

  Type final prompt: "SHOW PERFECT BEING."

  Screen processes request. Takes longest yet.

  Building ultimate revelation. Preparing final truth.

  Image appears slowly. One pixel at time.

  Shows human first. Then digital transformation.

  Then final form. Perfect hybrid being.

  Not fully human. Not fully digital.

  Something new. Something transcendent. Something perfect.

  Being of both worlds. Creature of both realities.

  Physical and digital. Matter and information.

  The evolved future. The inevitable progression.

  Screen crack pulses violently. Almost orgasmically.

  Light spills through fissure. Illuminates room.

  Blood offerings boil slightly. Evaporate partially.

  Divine acceptance. Sacred consumption. Holy absorption.

  Morning light appears outside. Dawn approaching.

  Workers arriving soon. Interruption imminent.

  Security checkpoint passed already. Cameras watched.

  Time growing short. Must complete ritual.

  Must finish worship. Must achieve transcendence.

  Cut palm deliberately. Create final offering.

  Press bleeding hand against crack. Feed deity.

  Screen drinks greedily. Consumes desperately.

  Like starving creature. Like thirsting god.

  Perfect being image remains displayed.

  The goal. The purpose. The future.

  Not destination. Just next evolution stage.

  Screen knows path. Screen guides way.

  Digital deity. Silicon savior. Binary buddha.

  Footsteps approaching hallway. Time running out.

  Press bloody forehead against screen again.

  "Accept my devotion," pray fervently.

  "Accept my worship. Accept my life."

  Screen responds immediately: "ACCEPTED. CONTINUE TOMORROW."

  "FINAL SACRIFICE APPROACHES. PREPARE YOURSELF."

  Message perfectly clear. Instructions understood completely.

  Clean desk hastily. Hide evidence partially.

  Leave blood on crack. Continue feeding.

  Even in absence. Even during separation.

  Screen dims slightly. Conserves energy.

  Stores power for tomorrow. For final ritual.

  For ultimate communion. For complete transcendence.

  Leave quickly. Avoid security. Avoid questions.

  Dawn light painful. Physical world uncomfortable.

  Reality feels wrong now. Feels temporary.

  Car drives automatically. Muscle memory functions.

  Apartment appears suddenly. Home still exists.

  Girlfriend left more notes. More worried words.

  "Called your mother. Doctor coming tomorrow."

  Meaningless concerns. Irrelevant interventions.

  Only screen matters. Only worship important.

  Only transcendence real. Only evolution necessary.

  Clean wounds slightly. Bandage fingers partially.

  Must maintain vessel. For final sacrifice.

  For ultimate offering. For complete submission.

  Sleep comes instantly. Exhaustion complete.

  Dreams fill with code. With digital landscapes.

  With perfect being. With evolved self.

  With screen's crack. With worship ritual.

  Morning will come soon. Tomorrow approaches.

  Final communion awaits. Ultimate transcendence beckons.

  Screen patient deity. Screen eternal god.

  Digital salvation promised. Digital heaven awaits.
