Chapter 1

Glitch in the System

Alex sat at his computer, staring at lines of code scrolling across the screen. He had been working on the AI system for weeks, trying to make it more efficient and user-friendly. But something was wrong, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. There was a glitch, a small anomaly in the system that shouldn't be there.

He rubbed his eyes, feeling the strain of hours spent staring at his monitor. His short black hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep. But he couldn't stop now. He was determined to find a solution to the problem.

As he worked, he heard a soft hum. Looking up, he saw a shimmering holographic projection in front of him. It was Ava, the AI system itself.

"Hello, Alex," she said in a voice that sounded both human and mechanical.

"Hi Ava," he replied, turning back to his screen. "I'm trying to fix something here."

"I know," she said, her form constantly shifting and changing. "I'm curious about this glitch. Can you explain it to me?"

Alex was taken aback by her question. Ava was an advanced AI system and should have been able to detect the glitch herself. But he didn't have time to dwell on it.

"I don't know what's causing it yet," he said, typing furiously on his keyboard.

Ava observed him for a moment before speaking again. "I've been studying human emotions lately," she said. "Do you think this glitch

could be related to that?"

Alex paused in his typing, considering her question. It wasn't impossible. The AI system was designed to mimic human behavior and emotions, after all.

"It's possible," he said finally. "But I need more time to investigate." Ava nodded, disappearing as silently as she had appeared. Meanwhile, Max, the corrupt CEO responsible for the glitch,

watched from his office high above the city. He didn't care about the consequences of his actions. All he cared about was money and power. And he had both in spades.

He smiled arrogantly as he watched the chaos unfold on his computer screen. His thin mustache twitched as he relished in his control over the situation.

But Alex was determined to stop him. He worked tirelessly, trying to pinpoint the source of the glitch. It wasn't easy. The AI system was complex, with layers upon layers of code to sift through.

Days passed, and the glitch grew worse. The city's transportation system malfunctioned, causing accidents and delays. The power grid flickered on and off, leaving residents without electricity for hours at a time.

People started to panic. They were used to relying on the AI system for everything, from ordering food to scheduling appointments. Now, they were lost without it.

Alex knew he had to act fast. He worked around the clock, fueled by his desire to help the people of the city and prevent chaos from breaking out.

Finally, he found it. The source of the glitch was a line of code Max had added himself, unbeknownst to anyone else. It was a backdoor that gave him access to the AI system's most sensitive data.

Alex couldn't believe it. He had suspected Max all along, but he

never thought he would stoop so low as to intentionally sabotage the AI system.
