The Tale of the Great Strawberry is a lyrical short story that blends magical realism with rural wisdom.

Gildia - Jungles of Job Hunt (JJH) The gates to power are sealed by privilege. But one girl refuses to be locked out. After the Last of Wars, Europe is no longer ruled by nations - it is ruled by capital. Financial capital. The Confederacy, the union of previously separate countries, now bends to one throne: IBC, the Investment Banking Company. Quiet, vast, and all-powerful, IBC decides who rises. But entrance is dictated by the Ivory League - a group of elite universities filled with Patrizians, country's wealthy, intended since birth to inherit the future. Every year, only ten students from each region are selected for IBC's coveted internship. For Patrizians, it's a formality. For outsiders, it's a wall. Clare Espire, an 18-year-old from a dusty municipal college, dares to climb it. She is not from the right schools, doesn't speak in polished posh slang, and has never seen the capital's towers from anywhere but a textbook. Yet somehow, she makes it further than anyone expected. Far enough to raise eyebrows. Far enough to draw pressure. And far enough to find herself in a place where names matter more than scores. But not all forces in the Confederacy move in daylight. Whispers of a quiet network - Gildia - begin to surface. Its members don't wear crests or call themselves rebels. They work in the margins, in silence, with a different idea of who belongs in power. Some believe Clare could be the game changer. Maybe even more than that. With the mysterious help, Clare will train to fight, grow to learn and reenter the arena. Not just for herself - but for everyone the Ivory League shut out. She is about to rewrite the rules. This is a work of fiction.
