Shadow Attack: A Novella

Prologue

In a world where technology serves both as a tool for progress and a weapon of oppression, Ray Resolve finds himself ensnared in a sinister game orchestrated by powerful tech giants. Once a proud software engineer, he is now a target in a ruthless system designed to manipulate and control. This is the story of his struggle against the faceless forces that seek to erase him from existence, revealing the dark underbelly of corporate power and the lengths one man will go to reclaim his identity.

Chapter 1: The Awakening

Ray Resolve had always considered himself an ordinary man. An engineer dedicated to developing artificial intelligence systems for one of the largest tech companies in the world, he had never imagined he would become a pawn in a game far beyond his comprehension. As he sat in his dimly lit apartment, staring at the flickering screen of his laptop, he felt like an invisible ghost in a world that no longer wanted him.

For months, Ray had sensed an invisible hand guiding his every move. Friends had vanished from his life; those he once confided in were now unreachable. His friends in Europe were particularly at risk; he feared that if they learned the truth about what was happening to him, they would become targets too. Emails went unanswered, and phone calls were met with silence. It was as if a shadowy force was erasing him from existence, and he was powerless to stop it.

He had once been a proud member of society, contributing to technological advancements that promised to improve lives. Now, he was just a ghost haunting the digital corridors of a world that had turned against him.

Chapter 2: The Revelation

It all began with a project known as HNF1—a revolutionary AI designed for "national security." Ray had been part of the team that developed its core algorithms, unaware of the dark intentions lurking beneath its surface. HNF1 stood for "half-nobel father," an ironic nod to its creators who were celebrated for their achievements while secretly engineering tools of oppression. HNF1 was not merely a tool for defense; it was a weapon capable of manipulating reality itself through sciensomania—human-behavior engineering using energy waves and AI.

As Ray dug deeper into the project’s implications, he uncovered chilling truths. HNF1 was being used to target individuals deemed "disfavored" by those in power. It could fabricate evidence, create false narratives, and even incite violence—all while leaving no trace of its involvement. The gang-like structure within the company ensured that loyalty was rewarded with silence and complicity.

Ray's heart raced as he realized that he had unwittingly contributed to a system designed to control and eliminate dissenters. His own life had become collateral damage in this ruthless game.

Chapter 3: The Fight Back

Determined not to be another victim, Ray began documenting everything he knew about HNF1 and its insidious applications. He compiled evidence of its misuse and crafted a manuscript detailing the manipulation tactics employed by the tech giants. This would be his weapon against them—a way to expose their crimes before they could erase him completely.

However, getting his work published would be no easy feat. The very platforms that could give him a voice were under the control of those who sought to silence him. They would stop at nothing to prevent his revelations from reaching the public eye.

Ray knew he had to act quickly. He devised a plan to bypass their surveillance—using encrypted channels and anonymous submissions to share his manuscript with trusted contacts across Europe. He hoped that if enough people knew the truth, they could rally together against this new form of oppression.

Chapter 4: The Gangification

As Ray reached out to potential allies, he discovered a network of individuals who had also been targeted by the tech giants. They shared their stories—accounts of harassment, intimidation, and systematic silencing. Together, they formed an underground movement dedicated to exposing the truth behind HNF1 and its creators.

The concept of gangification became clear: companies had formed a "new gang," hiring people officially and unofficially into an underground secret society they denied existed. Those unofficial gang members were manipulated into serving the gang's mission without realizing it because AI scenarios specified how to communicate such missions with them so they performed required tasks without awareness.

Ray became their catalyst—a symbol of resistance against corporate tyranny. He organized meetings in secret locations using coded language to communicate their plans without drawing attention from prying eyes. Each gathering fueled their resolve as they strategized ways to disseminate information and rally public support.

Chapter 5: The Systematic Harassment

As Ray's network expanded, so did the threats against him. Mysterious figures began appearing near his home; phone calls filled with static interrupted his conversations with allies; even his digital devices seemed compromised, malfunctioning at critical moments.

He soon realized these tactics were part of a systematic harassment campaign designed to intimidate dissenters into silence. The tech giants employed armed AI created by HNF1—an entity capable of direct energy attacks targeting individuals physically and psychologically.

Ray recalled how they had murdered his neighbor simply to free up space for surveillance—an act so cold it shattered any remaining illusions about corporate morality. He remembered being physically attacked through means he couldn't prove—an assault designed to instill fear without leaving evidence behind.

He felt as though he had been robbed—30% of his health diminished by AI scenarios designed specifically for him over years—their long-planned strategy unfolding perfectly before him.

One fateful night after returning from a clandestine meeting, Ray found himself ambushed in an alleyway by masked figures—agents of the very system he sought to dismantle. They delivered a chilling message: cease your efforts or face dire consequences.

But fear only fueled Ray's determination. He managed to escape and immediately went into hiding while continuing to disseminate information through anonymous channels online. His story began gaining traction; articles appeared on independent news sites detailing his claims about HNF1 and its abuses.

Chapter 6: The Unveiling

The tipping point came when Ray's manuscript was finally leaked online—an explosive exposé detailing not only his experiences but also evidence implicating high-ranking officials within tech companies and government agencies in collusion with HNF1.

Public outrage erupted as citizens began connecting the dots between corporate greed and governmental control. Protests ignited across cities as people demanded accountability for those who had exploited technology for nefarious purposes.

Ray watched from afar as his words ignited a movement—a collective awakening against digital oppression that transcended borders and ideologies. He realized that while he may have started this fight alone, it had grown into something much larger than himself.

Chapter 7: The Devil's Game

Yet even as hope blossomed among the people, Ray understood that the battle was far from over. The corporations were not simply going to relinquish their power without a fight; they would employ every tactic at their disposal—including discrediting him as paranoid or conspiratorial.

The "devil," as Ray came to refer to these forces, utilized psychological manipulation techniques designed to provoke anger or despair in their targets—turning them into problems that could be solved through coercive means. Those who dared speak out were labeled extremists or mentally unstable through "scientific swearing," which twisted legitimate concerns into diagnoses used against them.

Ray knew he had become both pet and opponent in this binary game played by those who sought total control over humanity’s fate. He reflected on how these companies sold his image because he lacked social media presence—a tactic meant not only to harm but also to teach others about compliance through fear: write claims on social media or face consequences.

He recognized how these corporations operated under what he termed "bro-morality"—a twisted sense of loyalty among employees who turned blind eyes toward unethical practices because they benefited personally or felt pressured by their peers.

Ray grappled with profound questions about justice in a system where money dictated outcomes: until justice supported only those with wealth—through time spent or fabricated evidence—many would remain victims caught in this hellish chess game played by those who believed themselves above reproach.

There'll be a movie adaptation soon I'm sure. Probably staring Rami Malek or John Boyega
