n the year 2042, the world no longer feared war.
It feared silence.
Because whenever the sky went completely silent — no wind, no birds, no distant traffic — gravity disappeared.
And whenever gravity disappeared, he appeared.
Nobody knew his real name. The media called him "Zero."
Zero didn't carry guns.
He didn't wear armor.
He didn't even run.
He simply walked.
And wherever he walked, gravity bent around him like obedient soldiers.
The First IncidentIt started in Tokyo.
A bank vault was suspended thirty feet in the air, floating like a balloon. Inside were billions in digital currency drives. Security cameras showed a man calmly stepping through the front door while guards helplessly drifted toward the ceiling.
He didn't steal money.
He stole a single black hard drive.
And before leaving, he whispered one sentence into the camera:
"You've chained the world to the ground long enough."
Then gravity returned.
Three guards never came down.
The TruthSix months later, Dr. Elena Kross, a physicist fired from a secret government lab, discovered something terrifying.
Zero wasn't manipulating gravity.
He was removing it from himself.
Which meant he wasn't bound by the Earth.
Or by physics.
Or by limits.
The ChaseGovernments tried missiles.
Zero stepped sideways — not left, not right — but sideways in space itself.
They tried snipers.
Bullets curved around him like confused birds.
They tried negotiation.
Zero only asked one question:
"If gravity is what keeps humanity grounded… why do your leaders float above consequence?"
No one answered.
The TwistDr. Elena finally tracked Zero's energy signature to an abandoned lunar research station.
On the moon, gravity is weaker.
Zero was stronger.
When she confronted him, she realized something shocking.
He wasn't stealing gravity to destroy the world.
He was redistributing it.
The black drives he stole contained secret files — proof of governments testing gravity suppression on civilians to create super-soldiers.
Zero was returning balance.
Literally.
The Final MomentAs global leaders prepared to activate a worldwide gravity-control weapon, Zero made his final move.
For three seconds…
The entire planet floated.
Oceans rose. Cities trembled. Satellites shifted.
Humanity felt what it was like to be untethered.
Powerless.
Equal.
Then gravity returned.
But the weapon systems were permanently disabled.
And Zero?
Gone.
Some say he drifted into deep space.
Others say he's still here.
Waiting for the next time the powerful forget what it means to be grounded.
