Prologue to adventure
Paul’s life was pretty lonely some would say, but he didn’t care. He was perfectly happy with his life as it was. He didn’t have any friends, they were just people he knew from school, work, neighbours.
He loved to watch tv shows, read comic books, novels , play video games. He loved everything that had a good story, especially if it had fantasy elements.
Everyday was mostly the same, work then he started reading, watching or playing.
Then one day like always after finishing work, he sat in front of his computer and started reading something new that came out. Then he heard something in the kitchen.
“It’s just my imagination again…”
Then suddenly it got louder and he heard a voice among the noise.
“Come to me…nture avaits. Come to me…ure avaits. Come to me… avaits.” Then the voice started to fade away.
Surprised he grabbed a baseball bat and went to the kitchen.
Then he slowly opened the door and felt a powerful headache and he fell on his knees in to the kitchen. He suddenly realized that he can’t see, something very bright stops him from seeing the source of the voice. He still tried to see who is speaking but al he saw was white.
“Who? Who are y……”
Then everything went dark and he fainted.
He thought everything that happened was a dream and started to wake up to go to work. He slowly opened his eyes…
“Huh? What is this? Where am i? What is going on? Am I still dreaming? *slap*
“Ouch…no I’m not dreaming. But what is this bed, room and where are my clothes!?- he screamed as loud as he could.
Suddenly an old man ran into the room with a huge grin on his face.
“Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho…I see you are awake. Good. Good. Very good.”

“What? What is this? Who are you ”-he started to panic
>
“Relax, relax young man. You are still weakened after all that has happened”
Sensing that the old man doesn’t mean him harm he relaxed a bit and started to analyze the situation.

The old man smiling watched the young man starting to calm down and going into deep though.
“Good. It seems you have calmed down, and are healthy. I know you have many questions about what happened to you and I will answer them all while we drink this tea.”
“Huh? Oh….ok. Thank you”-still a bit confused
“First of all let’s introduce ourselves. My name is Jonathan, and I am 257 years old.”
“Ummmm….my name is Paul and I’m…..wait how old did you say you are?!”
“257, ho ho ho”
“But how….you don’t look older than 60.”
“Thank you. Ok now that we know our names I will start explaining a few things to you, and after that I will answer all the questions you might have”-the old man smirked with a glint in his eyes.
“Ok…”-Paul answered noticing the glint in the old man’s golden eyes.

Sector 27
It wasn't until June 3, 2101 that World War 4 ended. This was not a war that ended in peace treaties or truces; this war ended with disease. The atomic war caused plague and disease that crippled major countries. The generals and great leaders of the countries at war died from the radiation that penetrated every part of the globe. It was only then that humanity realized what they had done- what they had created. The first ever mutant was publicly executed the very day the war ended, and a new war began: the war against mutants. The surviving nation of Japan quickly rebuilt their country by dividing it into safe zones, or Sectors. There are currently 26 livable sectors in Japan; Sector 1 is the richest sector and the only sector that has completely rid itself of all radiation left over from the war. In fear against the threat of mutants, the once small section of the police force grew until it became the main police force in Japan. After all, humans shouldn't be blamed for crimes when the real threat to society is mutants. This police force that goes by their motto: Special Treatment Against Mutants (STAM) is comprised of agents that go about their work to capture and detain all mutants. Sector 26 is the poorest sector that humans can barely survive in; but there is one more part of Japan. This "dead zone" has such a high concentration of radiation that if a human were to step inside the barrier, they would die in mere moments. But within this dead zone, this 27th Sector, there lies a secret organization of mutants that fight against STAM and protect all mutants from their grasp. The Mutant Recovery and Protection Agency (MRPA) operates to hide mutants in society and allow them to live human lives. The only thing that stands in MRPA's way is STAM and its agents who hunt them down ruthlessly, so MRPA has their own set of skilled agents. And the battle rages on...

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
