Master Of Time Chapter 14
Advertisement
Hollywood in the 1990 is exactly what I had imagined it.
Theatres are everywhere with tons of people hanging nearby.
Posters and banners of upcoming films are on the corner of every street and every road.
The film industry is what has made Hollywood it is today and in the future, so it is the most popularized and advertised form of entertainment.
It is also the one of the most profitable industry in the 21st century.
I spend all evening, touring Hollywood and checking out places, especially the Walk of Fame.
This is actually my first time here in Hollywood, so it is a great experience.
I take the time to check out every name on the Walk of Fame and what their contributions are to the entertainment industry.
People are bumping into me without apologising, but I didn't care.
I was too focused on my task, recording what I see through my eyes.
In truth, I didn't care much for celebrities and where they live like so many tourists do. This is because there are so many celebrities by the time I was 18 that it lost much of its glamour.
In 2019, anyone with a camera can become a celebrity thanks to the age of the Internet.
By the 23rd century, no body care for celebrities anymore.
This is because all form of entertainment can be digitally generated to perfection.
Want to see your favourite celebrity doing anything you want in a movie?
You can create that scene with a push of a button. You can even take part of the scene yourself, playing the opposing actor or actresses to the celebrity.
An entire movie can be generated from scratch within minutes.
Most people uses this to basically have sex or act out their fantasy with their favourite celebrity.

It is called deep immersion – a form of virtual reality (VR).
Since deep immersion simulates all senses, most people begins to live their entire life in a virtual world, where they are basically gods.
An entire world with all of its inhabitants can be simulated by a personal computer.
Furthermore, it is very hard to become a celebrity in the entertainment industry in the future.
This is because the moment you sing a song or act in a movie, your career is basically over.
An artificial intelligence can mimic your voice or your body language perfectly, meaning it can be you without all the disadvantageous of being human like sleep or exhaustion or mood swings.
It doesn't need to be paid either.
Not only that, cloning technology and neural interface allows many creeps in their mother's basement to have a harem of celebrity fuck toys.
Celebrity clones are created and killed at a psychopath pleasure.
Does a clone has any human rights?
That is debatable, especially on the religious side of the matter.
In the end, a soul is immortal and indivisible. It cannot be created or destroyed by anyone other than God.
This is the stance by the Church.
Therefore, clones are not consider as human.
They are considered as property, belonging to the person that the original genetic material come from.
But that is very hard to enforced.
After so many legal battles, the census is what you do in your own home is your business. It is just not possible to stop people from abusing cloning technology for their own entertainment, especially when in doing so infringes on an individual's right and privacy.
Cloning technology cannot be banned due to its contribution to so many sectors, such as medical and military.
A soldier is truly immortal with cloning technology. The instant they die on a battlefield, their memory and experience is mapped onto a brand new body.

This is one of the reasons why humanity wins against artificial intelligence in the war of attrition.
Cloning is as fast as if not faster than assembling war machines in a factory. In fact, the human body is far more flexible than any machine thus giving us an decisive advantage.
I am planning to use cloning technology to really give a literally meaning to the motto of Hydra.
Kill one and two more shall literally takes their place.
Of course, it is pretty damn hard to kill a Hydra agent due to their advance technology.
Currently, Hydra standard body armour can brush off every handheld firearms. Anything less than a sniper rifle shot at point blank will be ineffective.
As for celebrities and stars, I can make or break them at my leisure.
There is no point in paying too much attention to them and their lives.
Having said that, I do have some people I love to meet. Scarlett Johansson for example due to playing as the sexy Black Widow in the Marvel franchise.
Actually, I would really like to get kinky with her.
"Selene. Locate Scarlett Johansson!"
[Accessing Shield Surveillance Network. Locating Scarlett Ingrid Johansson, born November 22, 1984. Target Located. Manhattan, New York City. Awaiting Permission to Capture Target.]
"Eh."
I forgot that Scarlett is just a little kid right now.
But for Shield Surveillance Network (SSN) to locate her within a minute is just impressive.
SSN can locate anyone living or dead within the United States. With facial recognition software, Shield can hunt down anyone without any difficulty.
Following my ingenious plan to the letter, Shield had used its construction and manufacturing logistic division to implant high-tech cameras and vibration sensors all over the United States. They even take bid for contracts to upgrade the country communication and electrical infrastructure.
The bid cost Chrono Holdings billions of dollar, but it gives me unprecedented power. If I want to find anyone in the United States, they have to be either not born yet or living in a rock their entire life.
I might be getting drunk with power.
There is no such thing as too much power.
Once the Shield Orbital Headquarter is finished building, I can pretty much kill anyone or bombard any country from orbit.
Now that is absolute power.
By nightfall, I check into some of the most crowded restaurants on Hollywood Boulevard.
The food is very expensive, but very tasty. I enjoy dinner by myself, watching the countless couples in the restaurants. I did spot some celebrities in the crowd.
"Your bill, sir."
I nod and try to take out my wallet to pay the waiter. It was a very good dinner, so I has decided I will tip the waiter rather generously.
However, my wallet is nowhere to be found. It isn't on my person anymore.
Someone actually picked my pocket!
When!? Where!? It must be when i am too focused on checking out the Walk of Fame.
Goddamn it!
Whoever it is, they must be tired of living!
