《Icy Vendetta》Ch 3: Mozart on Keyboad

### Mozart on Keyboard ###
In a room far away from Zero and the hospital a man is silently cursing under his breath. He has been typing continuously for the past 3 hours trying to get into the firewall of a game called Mythica. The idea is simple get in retrieve the information and get out. But the advanced AI puts up so many layer of defenses and so fast that he is unable to go in.
Being the world's best hacker it baffles him. It took him less than 60 seconds to get into the Pentagon servers but more than 3 hours just to get a login prompt. Suddenly he gets a pop up.
"STOP!!! It is too much of an effort for us to duke it out. If you stop now I will grant you any one wish other than personal information. It can be only in game though."
It took Thirteen less than a second to understand that this was the AI who he was so vigorously trying to hack.
"I will hold you to that and will send someone to collect on my behalf.", replied back Thirteen grinning from ear to ear. From what he could find out from the underground community this game was virtually unhackable and realized he was the first person ever who made the AI sweat a little.
The smirk on his face immediately dissipated when he found that his cellphone was blinking to alert a new caller. Unit had a lot of unwritten rules and first amongst them was that "You never let the General go to voicemail".
"My chambers. NOW.", came the short order.
"General I was in the middle of something can I come in 10 mins.", replied Thirteen solemnly.
The incoming shout was so loud that he had to hold the phone away from his ears "I don't care if you are naked and stroking yourself. I want you here NOW!!!."

Well the General always had limited vocabulary thought Thirteen and then with a deep sigh proceeded to the stinky Basement.
He stopped in front of the door and took a few deep breaths trying to figure out what explanation to give to the General. As a golden rule of thumb everyone knows that the General was aware of everything so it wasn't wise lying to him.
"Come in before I break the damn door and bring your ass inside.", said the voice from inside the room.
"Hello General. I was just trying to take in some oxygen before coming in inside Sir.", replied Thirteen. He was the only one who ever dared joke in front of the General.
The General unfortunately was not in the best of moods. He gave Thirteen a look which could have made a tree shrivel in fear and then growled
"If I want to listen to a jackass speak, then I would rather listen to politicians who try to suck up to me. Report about Zero's situation".
Thirteen took about 2 mins to brief the General about everything he knew.
The General's face darkened. Even with the gruff exterior he considered each of the Unit as his family and their families as his own. He liked the Taylors; having spent a couple of Christmas at their home. Although he had already gotten the word from Yuri it still bothered him that the situation was this grim. He knew that if Zero went on a rampage containment would be the last of their worries.
He ordered Thirteen to give all possible cooperation to Zero but to act as his restraint when things went too far.
It took less than 5 seconds for Thirteen to break into the Drak guild's website. He found out that most people kept their RL identity a secret and not even the guild leader knew about it.

He also found out that the guild leader and other co leaders were over level 300 and considered to be the strongest players of Mythica.
He was about to give up on this avenue and search other means when he saw that the guild has hired a public relations officer to represent them in real life.
"Well Mr Stanson how do you do. I am afraid I will be arranging a meeting for you with Zero."

Broken Interface
A Post-Apocalyptic LITrpg / progression fantasy. Synopsis Early one morning, the world ended. The devastating Alpha Event rewrote the very laws of reality itself, transforming peaceful cities and communities into sprawling hellscapes filled with flesh-eating zombies - and worse! For Daniel, a Zombie Apocalypse couldn’t have happened at a worse time. If he’d been back at the farm, he might have stood a better chance than most. Instead, Daniel woke up in a distant hotel room armed with nothing but a hangover. To add insult to injury, as he and other survivors shelter for safety in their hotel, Daniel discovers another misfortune. To help guide them through the horrors of this new reality, each suvivor is supposed to have been grafted with an interface - a guide to help them level up, develop their skills, and better understand the world around them. Daniel’s is broken. Nevertheless, this new reality has gifted Daniel with other strange, new powers - powers which could enable him to unite what other survivors they can find into a force capable of surviving in this cruel, new world. Kernal is the first book in the Broken Interface series, set in Alex Kozlowski’s Alpha Physics Universe - described by readers as “a breath of fresh air” in the LitRPG genre, with stories that are “human, thought out, and realistic.” Style. Single third person POV, LITRPG, with gore, adult themes but no explicit sexual content. Warning. There will be a cute pet.

Writing test
So... It has come to my knowledge that I need a proper synopsis to post/save this so here goes a thing: Someone dies, and what comes after seems to be like one of those myths of old where you are brought to the afterlife, except, this particular soul's afterlife doesn't seem like it will be comfortable, will it? WARNING: I am only writing this because I want to see how long I can keep writing from here and I am only posting it in RR because I like the display. I advise you do not start reading it but if you do, know that I PROMISE NOTHING. Pd: I write in the night settings so it may be needed to see.
