1 You are nothing but a danger to society.

[In a world where people receive missions parallel to their own existence and life, there is an unknown entity that hides behind walls of concrete and iron, known as 'The System'.

The System owned the gears of society and had taken root in this way, making it irreplaceable and necessary. It dictated trends and created laws, within its own way as an institution intertwined with society and the State, stories were created and shared with the world through its virtual platform.

Anyone at any time could access a 'System Plot' and stay for endless hours watching people act out plots created exclusively for them.

The System blesses and offers the possibility for selected people to leave miserable or boring lives in order to contemplate a parallel existence where there are no limitations.

The System had the philosophy that anyone could be entertained, at any time, with the stories that best fit their mood and energy.

There is no such thing as impossible for The System.]

~~

Irina could hear footsteps clatter on the concrete.

Tech... tech... tech... tech... tech... tech... tech...

The gray cubicle she was now supposed to call home didn't have much more than a bed, a table and a chair and be thankful you had somewhere to sit or lay your head to sleep.

His tedious days inside that high security prison were diligently controlled by armed people ready to react to any dubious movement.

You are nothing but a danger to society.

Now she was serving the sentence of her trial: 457 years 11 months and 26 days for corruption, attempted murder, kidnapping and attack on common peace.

After acting for so long as if the world was hers the end of the line had come for her and all she could do was live in silence in that place until her death.

Well, that's what it should be and that's what it normally would be.

But Irina was different, she wasn't someone who would squander her entire life in a shoebox, there was no doubt about that.

However, the time trapped inside that place made her have a distinct perception of what was around her and in fact any perception of sound or movement called her attention, everything was always so quiet and silent.

At that moment it was impossible not to notice that the footsteps had stopped right outside her cell door and all that mattered was what it could be... Or who.

She stared at the steel door and surprisingly heard the sound of keys rattling, followed by the sound of one of them fitting into the door.

Was the door being opened?!

That didn't surprise her, after all it was something expected, but what made her really curious was why it was so fast, after all, I barely arrived and I'm already leaving?

She even believed that she would stay in that place for a while longer, luckily she seemed to be wrong.

Well maybe she shouldn't think too much about it not false hopes, there was also the possibility of just being some idiot just making trouble.

Which honestly wasn't impossible, so many bizarre facts had happened in such a short time. Nothing surprised her anymore.

Irina kept the same way she was before all that movement, so she chose not to pay attention to it and simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep on the hard mattress.

But a female voice came up and even her heart sped up, it wasn't a false hope. "Irina, come with me, the time has come."

She immediately understood that it was the director of the prison, she smiled in satisfaction. Finally!

She opened her eyes, it didn't take much more than a blink of an eye to get out of that uncomfortable bed and without reluctance any kind of reluctance the director made room for her to get out. There was no reason to go on pretending.

It really was done, she could walk away and there was no more sentence or wrongs to pay. Yes, she felt emotional and smiled openly, a smile loaded with several emotions, but the main one was without a doubt: relief.

Alongside this she could hear a celebratory tune and an electronic rumble of a crowd clapping.

Really cute.

[Quest Complete: Complete the 'Unbreakable' System Plot.]

ZDF987 : *Congratulations Irina! You completed the villain storyline of: Unbreakable.*

The robotic voice resounded in his mind filled with happiness, ZDF987 was one of the Envoys who acted as representatives of the great System and would ensure that the chosen people could act properly in the face of the System Weave they belonged to.

People could be free to act according to their mission in that scenario and the limitations or guidelines were said by such chosen ones, that nobody could know if they were other people or machines. How to know?! Casualty was low and when they appeared few were involved in what was related to the private lives of their selected people.

All that mattered was The System and it alone, as long as there are no conflicting attitudes there is no need to intervene.

Irina listened to ZDF987 and could barely contain the happiness in her chest, she was overjoyed to finally finish that job and move on with her life.

Heavens, only she could know how awful all those months had been, but it was over.

That was not an ordinary world, since the emergence of the great System that had ceased to be an ordinary world... Many people were destined to live plots acting as their characters in real life and with the help of the Envoys stories were told.

Of course, even in a no longer ordinary world, ordinary people would still exist, so not everyone would have their Envoys or stories to follow, but those who did would be within a specific storyline from birth and would be guided when the time was right.

These 'System Plots' were transmitted and seen by people in their homes, it was enough to have a simple subscription and follow what you want within the world created by the System.

The public could follow the entire life of their favorite heroine or villain, over time that very easily surpassed fiction, people could not simply follow a televised soap opera or a teen series, there was no emotion.

You're not on the edge of yourself, how can you compete for my attention when I have such wonderful people actually doing all those things?! Yes, you didn't know if it was a world or a business, in the end it didn't matter.

Now he would be whatever he wanted, turning the gears as he saw fit.

'Unbreakable' was a huge success mainly for its dense drama and its confrontations.

The system was the villain's way of ensuring she could see evil without worrying about actually hurting anyone. Of course, the protagonist was not really in danger, everyone trusted that so that there were no scruples and the plot could be done with excellence.

Who could resist a passionate and intense plot?! It was an essential success and broke all possible records.

Not even the sky was a limit or maybe a maximum security prison.

Irina Cerdic had been selected as the villain of 'Unbreakable', a story starring Bella Opsahl and Emil Cerdic who acted respectively as heroine and hero.

Yes, definitely the plot wasn't easy and Irina had to work hard to be a capable villain, but now everything was finalized and she could live free.

That could all be in the past, right?!

['Unbreakable' tells the story of a girl who lived in an orphanage until her 17th birthday, where she was adopted by a wealthy and very influential family from Glosoa, where the plot unfolds.

Bella was adopted by the Vell family, which despite its long-term status and sovereignty was going through a severe crisis and faced the real possibility of bankruptcy.

Marriage emerged as a way to save the business, but they had no heirs and the adoption was forged and thus began 'Unbreakable'.

Bella was involved in a manipulation and deception plan against the Cerdic family and Irina's reaction was very simple to want to destroy everything and everyone who tried to deceive her family and succeed at her expense.

Emil, Irina's younger brother, despite everything fell in love with Bella and protected her from everything, especially her sister, he wanted a happy marriage with the woman he loved.

Furthermore, he was fully aware that his wife was not to blame for the family she had and so a story filled with suspense and passion ensued.

The plot throughout its duration was full of ups and downs until it finally ended with Irina condemned by justice, Bella and Emil together forever.]

Yes... The job was done!

The prison director smiled and lightly touched Irina's back, congratulating her on her hard work. "You did really well, I think you can win the best villain of the year award."

The woman had a gentle smile, so unlike anything Irina had seen before...

The person Irina was so different from the character, but it was true that she couldn't tell when everything around her had become mere pretense, she just knew that there were no more truths when 'Unbreakable' started.

Irina could think deeply about the subject, but even so it was very difficult to remember clearly when was the last time that the person Irina had received some praise instead of any kind of lecture or complaint that were part of the usual life of the character Irina.

She didn't live happily for long and learned to survive by counting the days for it all to end.

But it was over right?! So she heard that praise as a distinct sensation in her heart. "Do you really believe this is possible?!"

Irina felt a little embarrassed, she didn't believe that she would receive any prize, but it would really be like a dream if she succeeded, after all, I never had that ambition, but if one day I conquered it I would thank everyone as if I had always been part of the my brightest days.

The woman agreed and spoke a little shyly, it was hard to just get out of her strong prison director character and now she was speaking as a viewer. "Of course… I watched the entire 'Unbreakable' broadcast, you did so well… Oh, it was a good time…"

Irina smiled happily and nodded several times in thanks, she didn't know where to put her hands or feet.

Should she run or just stay and try to act up? She was so excited about the idea of being able to get out of this prison that she could barely think straight. "Thanks for all the support..."

Well, it was very simple why the director said all that, there was an annual award that offered honors and merits to the best Systems Plots and 'Unbreakable' was considered the favorite in all categories that competed.

After all, that was the top honor of the year and 'Unbreakable' was an all-time favourite, completely unbeatable in the opinion of many.

But all Irina wanted was to continue her life from the same point where 'Unbreakable' began, as these System Plots blended fiction and reality a starting and ending point was needed to ensure that the characters and people were not harmed.

After all, when the story was over there would still be tomorrow and people needed ways to survive, the people selected to act in those stories needed some reassurance that they would be okay when it was all over.

Irina was a rising businesswoman and even before the start of 'Unbreakable' she was already in charge of the family business and ran everything in a very satisfactory way, she was genius and maybe that's why 'Unbreakable' was so successful.

Now with that story over with she could just go back to her old routine and she couldn't wait to finally do that.
