Chapter 19 - Hidden

"Okay it look like my first safety plan as to come in play," Mark thought as he remembered himself thinking of plan to save himself if think get dangerous.

It was to enter the enter government security system and take control of a satellite secretly and monitor his surroundings.

"Now let get started....." Mark said opening his laptop as a suddenly thought enter his mind.

'Man have this exchange, at the cost lifespan is useful,' Mark thought before starting his plan.

Mark sat in his dimly lit room, the glow of three monitors reflecting off his glasses. Fingers flying over the keyboard, he bypassed firewalls like a pianist playing a familiar tune. The hum of servers filled the silence. Tonight wasn't just about hacking into another system—it was about unlocking the truth.

The old case had arrived two hours ago, unmarked except for a symbol etched into the lid—a triangle within a circle. Inside were six small chips, each labeled with a single character: X, Y, Z, A, B, and C. Mark recognized them instantly. Code chips from a forgotten government project—rumored to contain AI routines too dangerous for open use.

He picked up the first chip, labeled X, and slotted it into his custom decryptor. The screen flickered. Lines of encrypted data spilled onto the monitor. Mark's eyes narrowed. It wasn't just code. It was a language… evolving, adapting, learning from his inputs.

"This AI sure is mad crazy," he muttered. "It's way better than i would ever thought."

He inserted the next chip. Then another. Each one seemed to unlock a different part of a puzzle.

Mark continue his mad journey as the chip was being use to help himself into hacking the system and taking control of the plan.

Mark first thought was to break into the order system before taking command of the control system.

He wanted the AI to not have any chance of him knowing that the command system of any of the satellite was being hack.

Soon after hours of challenges Mark lay their tired as he thought about the he could do as a blue light flash open.

Mark was checking his status as he New he hadn't check for a while now.

Reward

"This is a interesting choice, in the reward as we have knowledge and a shard." Mark said in curious and confuse tone.

He was curious about the knowledge and how much he could get and could it have information about the universe.

However, the shard thing was making him want it as he feel someone from the rules of the world most be incredible.

"So, I will choose the shade," Mark said with a simple click as he knew that both we good but he wanted to know about something that was created from a shade can do.

"Huh, were his my domain skill," Mark shouted in confusion as he stood up from the coach in anger and despair.

"Answer me system," he said In a angry and commanding voice.

"Then take it back," Mark said with nervousness as he New the Domain was his strongest skill.

"Wha..... hhaaahhhhh.... what do I gain with this new item," Mark ask wanting to know what he got in exchange for the shard.
