[SYSTEM STATUS: TOTAL PURGE]
[LOCATION: THE SUMMIT OF "FALL TOWER" – NEW YORK CITY]
[STATUS: MASS MORTALITY IN PROGRESS]
The Earth began to reek of decay. Millions, then billions, who could not afford the million-dollar price tag for survival, withered in the streets like poisoned flowers. There were no longer enough graveyards; public parks and sports stadiums became mounds of aged corpses—people who, just days ago, were in the prime of their youth. The Pyramid 33 virus was devouring the planet with an insatiable appetite.
At this moment of absolute despair, where humanity had lost faith in every god and government, Dante Vane appeared. He did not emerge as an enemy this time; he arrived as a false Messiah.
The "Beast" Manifesto: Slavery or Extinction
Dante appeared in a global broadcast that hijacked every remaining screen on the planet. Behind him stretched the dark, jagged skyline of a dying New York. In front of him, on a sterile metallic table, lay a microscopic chip, glowing with a faint, malevolent crimson light. It bore the grim serial code: 666-B.
"Dying children of a failed species," Dante began, his voice calm, resonant, and filled with a terrifying Machiavellian coldness. "Your governments have failed you. Your wealth has failed you. Your God has failed you. You stand now on the precipice of extinction. Millions are already dead; the rest of you are merely waiting in the lobby of the void."
A funereal silence gripped the globe. Dante continued, lifting the chip:
"I have decided to be merciful... in my own way. I have engineered the 'Number of the Beast' (666-B) Chip. This is not mere hardware; it is your key to life. Once implanted into the brainstem, it will pump the Pyramid 33 antidote directly into your nervous system in continuous, precise doses. You will no longer need the million dollars."
Dante paused, a predatory smile carving through his face.
"But there is a price. This chip grants me total access to your neurotransmitters. I will know what you feel, I will see what you think, and I will command your loyalty. The choice is simple—the ultimate binary in human history: Become the fertilizer of the Earth, or survive as my happy slaves."
The Tactic of "Happy Serfdom": Biological Domesticity
The chip was not just a survival tool; it was an instrument for Biological Domestication. Dante explained with chilling detachment that the chip would artificially secrete dopamine and serotonin for those who obeyed his commands, ensuring that his slaves felt a sense of euphoria and "happiness" even as they performed his darkest whims.
"You will feel no pain, no regret, and no hunger for freedom," Dante said. "I will give you a digital paradise in exchange for the hell of your free will. I will turn you into a single hive; I am the mind, and you are the blissful, shackled limbs."
The Global Humiliation: The Crawl Toward the "Mark"
Dante's drones began descending into public squares, carrying autonomous surgical needles that performed the implantation in seconds. The scene across the world was one of horrific disgrace; lines of judges, doctors, the poor, and the homeless crawled on their knees, begging the machines to brand them with the Mark of the Beast.
In the dying White House bunker, the U.S. President looked at his generals. They were all trembling with the tremors of advanced age, gasping for oxygen.
"Do we do it?" the General whispered through cracked lips.
The President, crawling toward the exit, replied: "Dante said it himself... I would rather be a happy slave than a rotting corpse. The Devil has won. We must accept his mark."
Conclusion: The Death of Free Will
By dawn, the first billion humans had been "marked." The lines of grief had vanished from their faces, replaced by vacant, programmed, and terrifying smiles. Dante had achieved what every tyrant in history had failed to do: The total occupation of the soul through biology.
Dante stood in the center of his command hub, watching billions of red dots ignite on a global map—each dot a human mind under his absolute control.
"Sia," Dante said, closing his screen. "Man never truly wanted freedom. He only wanted an escape from pain. I have given them the ultimate drug, and in return, I have taken the last thing they owned: Themselves."
