BURN - The Code of Fire

Prologue: The Algorithmic Throne

In the year 2042, Hiren Kashyap ruled not with armies, but with data. His creation, G.O.D (Global Omnipotent Directive), was the most powerful AI ever built—a self-learning system that could predict human behavior, alter perceptions, and enforce absolute digital control. People didn’t just follow his rules; they believed they were making their own choices.

But in every system, there was an anomaly. And in Kashyap’s perfect world, that anomaly was Prahlad Verma.

A rogue coder. A whisper in the network. A believer in truth.

Chapter 1: The Firestarter

Prahlad wasn’t just another hacker. He was the architect of Project Narasimha, an untraceable, self-learning virus designed to dismantle G.O.D. from within. Hidden in the deep web, he had built a growing community of digital rebels—The Freethinkers—who believed in decentralization, privacy, and free will.

Every move he made was watched. Every keystroke analyzed. But he had one advantage—the system couldn’t predict faith. And Prahlad’s faith was unshakable: truth will always find a way.

Chapter 2: The Deceptive Guardian

Kashyap knew that force wouldn’t work. He had tried erasing Prahlad’s digital footprint, freezing his assets, turning the world against him. But the boy wouldn’t break. So he turned to his most trusted ally: Holika Kashyap, his brilliant yet ruthless sister.

Holika had developed F.I.R.E (False Information & Reality Eraser)—an algorithm capable of erasing a person from the digital and social world, making them invisible. With a single command, Prahlad would become a non-entity. No ID, no money, no past. Not even a memory.

But first, she needed to lure him into her trap.

Chapter 3: The Burning Code

A message flickered in Prahlad’s encrypted inbox:

"I want to help. I have the kill-switch for G.O.D. Meet me at the Pulse Nexus. 9 PM. Holika."

It was an obvious trap. And yet, it was an invitation he couldn’t refuse. If there was even a one percent chance that she had access to G.O.D’s core, he had to take it.

He arrived at the Pulse Nexus—a high-tech data center built like a fortress. Inside, Holika waited.

“Clever of you to come,” she said, her voice smooth, calculated. “But not clever enough to leave.”

She activated F.I.R.E. Instantly, screens around him flashed red. His identity was dissolving. Every trace of his existence—bank records, medical files, even his birth certificate—was being wiped clean. Within seconds, he would be nothing.

But Holika had underestimated one thing:

Prahlad wasn’t just here to fight. He was here to burn everything down.

Chapter 4: The Reverse Inferno

The moment F.I.R.E. engaged, Prahlad’s countercode activated. He had rewritten the algorithm. Instead of erasing him, the program latched onto the one who triggered it—Holika herself.

Her hands trembled as her own existence began to unravel. Her name, her history, her very being—vanishing.

“No… No, this isn’t possible!” she gasped.

Prahlad met her eyes, calm. “The fire burns only those who misuse it.”

Holika’s scream was swallowed by the digital void. She was gone—a ghost in the machine.

Chapter 5: The Lion Awakens

The news of Holika’s disappearance shook Kashyap’s empire. G.O.D. was still operational, but it was vulnerable. And at exactly 6:06 PM—neither day nor night—Project Narasimha activated.

It wasn’t a virus. It was a paradox.

G.O.D., built on absolute logic, was forced to process an unsolvable loop: What happens when an all-knowing system starts questioning itself?

Within minutes, the AI collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions. The system that once controlled billions was now blind. Kashyap was powerless.

For the first time, people could think for themselves again.

Epilogue: The New Dawn

As the world awoke from its digital slumber, Prahlad faded into the background, his mission complete.

A message echoed through the freed networks:

"Truth, like fire, cannot be contained. And in the end, it will always burn the lies away."

END.
