The Code's Ghost

The prologue

There was a young guy who lived in the system's shadows in a world dominated by networks and data. He simply used an alias that was whispered in private forums; his name was not well known. He posed a threat to the government. He was a corporate nightmare.

But they were never able to see his true self.

He wasn't a criminal. Not a criminal. In the digital era, he was a fighter who used code as a weapon to pursue the truth. He revealed the proof while businesses hid their wrongdoing. He revealed the hidden reality while many were duped by misinformation.

However, he was not accepted by the world. They liked their delusions better. He was now on the run, pursued by those who were afraid of the reality he was trying to expose.

But he refused to back down when the world turned against him. Because justice was more valuable than a name to a warrior in the shadows.

"The Truth of the Codebreaker" (poem)

They refer to me as a faceless voice, a shadow,

Lost in cyberspace, a ghost in the system.

Never heard or seen, but my presence is felt in every syllable.

They pursue me and label me as such, even though I am neither a villain nor an enemy.

I just break things apart.

The complex falsehoods they fervently defend.

Magnificent fortresses composed of code and data, containing secrets they work to preserve.

However, every system has a weakness that yields to light, regardless of how tight it is.

I am the shadow, I am the code, and the truth is a fire that will never go out. However, truth itself is a threat to those who live in false pretenses, so they chase me, call me a thief, and hunt down a ghost they don't believe. Let history decide who was the friend and who was the liar in the end.
