1 Chapter 1 (Seeker)
In the year 2100, the world witnessed the phase of human evolution known as Exo mania. Just like smartphones, the exoskeleton technology started with basic innovations and improvements somewhat 70 years ago and it took lots of revolutions worldwide to achieve the phase of Exo Mania. The human civilization completely got rid of domestic commuter vehicles as they have gained the running speed up to 90 Kmph with little human strength of simple jogging with the help of exoskeleton attachments around lower legs infused with special magnetic springs. Similarly, human beings are now able to easily lift and handle weight up to 500 kg with the help of exoskeleton attachment around the arms & back. Human beings are also able to jump up to 20 ft and land safely with those Exo attachments.
The monopoly around this Exo Technology is mostly acquired by its founding country India the biggest brands and conglomerates related to Exo tech are founded in India and they are controlling the global market. The group of 5 billionaires is controlling the biggest Exo tech company known as Xotic Inc. This company currently possesses the all patents of Exo technology are the global leader in the tech world. As every other graduate of Exo engineering aspires to take the job or internship in Xotic Inc. the 25-year-old newly graduated from ordinary college, "Earwind" tried to get least an internship in associate companies of Xotic Inc. but miserably failed due to high competition and his lack of contacts. Earwind is a neighborhood introvert who doesn't value the thing called friendship and never had a relationship with any girl in his life. He is raised by a mostly absent single father who is working in the corporate sector in the sales and marketing department of Xotic Inc. He opted to pursue the Exo engineering against his father's approval his father wanted him to study sales and marketing to secure a corporate job like him thus his father never supported him in his career option.
One day returning from his daily struggle of finding employment Earwind decided to quit the job hunt and reopen his Grandfather's old Exo parts workshop and renovate that place to sell the used Exo gears to the economically weaker section of the society. On his way home he is the only person who does not casually use the Exo gear all the time. Earwind believes in the natural form of the human body and is considered a weirdo by other folks. He only prefers to use the Exo gear when he needed it like people were using their vehicles in old times. Upon reaching home he started to search for the keys to his Grandfather's workshop and suddenly remembers his late mother and how she used to tell him the stories of his Grandfather about how he was the greatest Exo Engineer of all time however, his father later denied all the claims his mother made regarding those stories. He started searching for the keys within his mother's belongings cabinet and found the envelope with his name. He opened it and found the letter and three old keys inside with Sanskrit engravings न, र, क on them. The letter contains the cipher which raises his curiosity.
The Cypher stated as: "pfe uriktu keq ulqkcn cvru kuo trbvzyel yw akxn wranryk" "KRN"
at the end of the ciphertext, there was an indication to visit Dr. Ace Victory Thapa.
