《Tales of Disruption》Our Terms Are Non-Negotiable
Advertisement
Meteorologist and inventor, Dr. Jason Smith, developed the world's first WCS—Weather Control System.
Though only a prototype, he successfully controlled his flying nanotech by satellite to produce hyper-localized weather events such as heatwaves, rain, snow, and gusty wind.
Jason himself grew up poor on a financially struggling rural farm. He knew how climate change adversely impacted crops and livestock. For over a year, he secretly tested the WCS on his family's farm, effectively plotting a grid of distinct microclimates to cultivate whatever he wished.
But for Jason, merely helping farmers grow crops or preventing global famine did not satisfy his struggling sense of social consciousness. Economic inequality continued to divide people of the world, and political leadership readily got bought out.
Jason sought others to help him use the Weather Control System to 'serve a more immediate and meaningful purpose.' He finally collaborated with a group of underground hackers.
They first chose a CEO who frequently outsourced jobs, lobbied for deregulation, razed natural habitats, and forced property upscaling. Not to mention causing economic devastation for hardworking families while he gave his executives massive bonuses.
Jason and his team called the CEO using a digitally disguised voice ...
"This is Frank ..."
"Mr. Frank Johnson?"
"Yes. Who is this? How did you get my private cell number?"
"Mr. Johnson, do not hang up. What I have to tell you is critical. Go straight to the main social media page for your corporation."
"Alright ... One moment ... Okay ..."
"Refresh the video section."
"Okay ..."
"Choose the most recent upload, Mr. Johnson."
A video titled 'Weather Control System Phase 1' contained a collage of recorded segments but all with the same timestamp—
Bolts of lightning destroyed a power station to one of Johnson's foreign manufacturing facilities. A factory that was proven to run as a sweatshop exploiting unskilled labor under brutal working conditions.

Tornadoes ripped through entire swaths of Johnson's highly profitable harvests on farmland that replaced millions of acres of lush rainforest.
Torrents of rain caused mudslides over one of Johnson's high-end real estate ventures he cheaply purchased from low-income neighborhood slumlords.
"Weather control ...? Is this a joke? What the hell do you want from me?"
"It's all real. We only have two demands, Mr. Johnson."
"And those are?"
"Step down, and give up absolutely everything you own to charity."
"And if I refuse?"
A bolt of lightning struck outside Johnson's mansion—lights flickered—and an ear-shattering shotgun-blast-like thunderclap shook the premises.
"Mr. Johnson, let me be clear—our terms are non-negotiable."

Against the Heaven's Will
Synopsis: Many worlds, realms, and universes no longer bathe in the light of the will. The darkness has corrupted them. The champion of the spark, a mere child is the only one capable of changing the fate of all living beings. As a wielder of the spark, the heavens did not tolerate him. Many heart-wrenching events befell the child from the moment he was born, even the death of his beloved. The heavens were truly unmerciful to him. This child’s name is Chen Gudan, and this is his story of love, betrayal, and revenge as he traverses his world and many others to resurrect his beloved, while juggling the fate of all... "If the heavens prevent me from resurrecting her, I will go against its will!" Notice 1: I took a bit time away from this novel to build a webpage for it. Starting from today (June 14, 2021), I will try to update every week with a new chapter (as I have finished the site). The cover is from: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fire_in_darkness_-_LOHDI.JPG No copyright infringement was intended from the use of this cover. If the original owner of the picture wants me to take it down, please message me and I will do so, as quickly as possible. Notice 2: This is my first novel, it would be great if you guys can give me feedback (in the form of comments) as it progresses, especially in the first few chapters. I am planning to make this novel at least a few hundred chapters long. Otherwise, thank you for reading my novel. Notice 3: This is my plan for this book: Chapter 1 to 6 are the backstory of the main character before and when he was born. Chapter 7 to 12 are the main character's early years. Chapter 12 and beyond is when the story starts.
