Breaking News!
-"We have received degrading footage concerning the disciplinary staff of the biggest school in Plankton city, Echelon Academy.
-"From an anonymous source, this footage happens to display the students being sexually assaulted along with other forms of assault and verbal abuse. Viewers' discretion advised.
-"Another footage includes the confession to a conspiracy involving these same disciplinary staff. According to the information we received, the school's kitchen that caused the death of five was orchestrated by them.
-"The Kwoiune family have threatened to destroy the school after seeing their beloved third daughter being assaulted on the footage.
-"The Echelon Academy is currently undergoing intense investigation. The four high school disciplinary teachers have been carted away by the police. Other forces are oppressing the police force to relinquish these four to them.
Gustav, who was currently on his way back home, stared at the news displayed on different city screens.
Several news stations were currently reporting the current incidents, and Echelon Academy happened to be the hottest topic on the news at the moment.
Gustav smiled as he watched the four disciplinary teachers being dragged away like criminals.
Due to the current situation, the school had been shut down in the meantime, so the students were urged to return back home. The school's shutdown was why Gustav was heading back home at the moment, even though it was still morning.
He had successfully framed each and every one of the four disciplinary committee members and sent footages to the media concerning this.
Miss Aimee assisted him in this aspect. She gave him the contact of a media personality and helped them meet.
Not only were they framed for these crimes in school, but he also added the confession of Ebunoluwa to it.
He wanted to put them in a sticky situation first before adding the issue of the kitchen fire, so their reputation would have already taken a blow. Then when the kitchen fire situation is added, their credibility when they try to defend themselves would be at an all-time low.

Again, an expected scenario was where Maltida's family threatened to shut down the entire school because she was involved.
Other big families also came out to say they were going to withdraw their kids from Echelon Academy after seeing proof of what went down.
Of course, the four had tried denying all the accusations, but then the footage had been inspected properly, and no signs of unoriginality were found.
In other words, these four were already doomed.
The police force brought in Ebun as well for questioning and had him make the confession again.
The disciplinary teachers tried to deny never meeting him, but then, phone calls were retrieved. The police had technology that could also retrieve months-old conversations on the phone between parties.
They made use of this, and everything was uncovered.
The whole situation turned messy as the four were unable to deny any of the crimes they were confronted with anymore, even the one they were framed with.
Gustav arrived home later and waited for the verdict of these four along with Ebun.
He finally got a holographic tv to watch the news.
The next morning he had a smile on his face as he watched the five of them being carted away in prisoner's outfits.
'I bet this isn't how it's gonna end,' Gustav said internally as he saw them being taken away in convoys.
Afterwards, the media called out Echelon Academy for firing and smearing the reputation of boss Danzo.
This had proven that he was innocent and framed. The media had tried to find out the disciplinary committee's reason for doing this. Still, they were only informed that boss Danzo refused one of their requests, and it ended up that way.
This way, boss Danzo had regained his reputation.
Gustav quickly made use of the contact boss Danzo had given him to call.

In a few seconds, the call was picked.
"Hey, son," Boss Danzo's merry voice was heard from the other end.
Gustav hadn't heard boss Danzo's voice for roughly a month, so he felt relieved now that he had finally solved the issue.
He wanted to make sure the situation was resolved before contacting him.
"Boss Danzo, have you seen the latest news in Plankton city?" Gustav proceeded to ask.
"Hmm? What's happening?" Boss Danzo asked with an intrigued tone.
He was no longer in Plankton city, so he had no idea about things that went down there.
"Check for news on Plankton city," Gustav stated.
Boss Danzo would have to tune into a worldwide news station to figure out what was happening.
"Oh my... My name has been cleared?" Boss Danzo voiced out from the other end with a tone of disbelief.
Gustav smiled as he heard boss Danzo speak.
"How did this... Don't tell me you did something?" Boss Danzo asked.
"Doesn't matter... What matters is now you can come back," Gustav replied with a wider smile.
"Hmm, I'm very glad about this. It's good, really good news and much appreciated, my boy," Boss Danzo didn't ask how he did it because he knew Gustav was tight-lipped.
"But I hope you didn't suffer any troubles while trying to clear my name? Also, are you fine?" Boss Danzo asked if with a worried tone.
"No, no, I'm perfectly okay," Gustav voiced out as he recalled the beating he dished out to Ebunoluwa.
'He should worry more about those involved,' Gustav said internally.
He knew boss Danzo wasn't the violent type, so he tried solving this in the most non-violent way possible.
Ebunoluwa's torture session was absolutely necessary.
However, if something happened afterwards, he wouldn't be involved anymore.
"So, when are you coming back?" Gustav proceeded to ask.
"About that... I will not be coming back anytime soon, my boy," Boss Danzo replied with a slightly saddened tone.
"Oh... Why?" Gustav asked with a low tone as his excitement slowly died down.
"I'm currently dealing with something over here. It will take some time before I am done but don't worry, one of these days we'll see each other again," Boss Danzo voiced out heartily.
Gustav felt a little down hearing that, but he responded with 'okay.'

City of Champions Online
Having found the tragic truth that an art degree is worth less than the paper it is printed on, Jacquelyn Jones is frustrated with her dead end work as a graphic designer for a marketing firm, finding new ways to try and convince people that this week's 50 cent off sale is actually worth driving to the store. She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
