What if the glitch inside you... wasn't a flaw, but a copy?What if you're not the original?
🌌 Inside the Core
Everything was white.
No walls. No floor. No sky.
Just white space — glowing faintly, humming with a frequency only the soul could hear.
Aaryan stood still, heart racing even though he wasn't sure if it still beat like a human's.
"You're the prototype.""You are not here to save the world, Aaryan.""You are here to decide which version of it survives."
VIRYA's voice still echoed in his head.
He had just learned the impossible: that he died seven years ago, and what he was now — this version of himself — was a code-generated fusion of memory and DNA.
Then came a sound — not from outside, but from inside his ears.
A whisper. His own voice. But colder.
"So… you made it here first."
A figure emerged from the whiteness.
His face.
His body.
But different.
This Aaryan wore black. His eyes glowed dull red. His movements were too smooth — not human, but code-perfect.
"Who are you?" Aaryan whispered.
"I'm you," the other said. "The first you."
🔁 The Mirror Loop
"I am Version 1.0," the other Aaryan said. "The original Index carrier."
"You were created when I failed. A softer build. With emotion. With empathy."
"A mistake."
Aaryan stepped back, hands glowing faint blue with code threads.
"Why are you here?"
The Mirror Aaryan smiled.
"Because the Core is choosing.""And only one of us will survive it."
Suddenly the space around them fractured — like a mirror cracking in every direction.
Initiating Loop Test: Identity Clash Detected
The whiteness shattered into a dark chamber, lit only by glowing runes of code on the walls. Above them, a floating timer appeared:
🕒 4:00"Synchronize or Terminate."
⚔️ The Fight for the Self
Mirror Aaryan struck first.
In a blur, he moved, a streak of shadow-code — striking with fists that echoed like thunder.
Aaryan blocked, his arm flickering into partial invisibility.
Punches. Kicks. Shifts in reality.
Every time they collided, the environment warped.
Tables turned into clouds
Walls became lines of glowing HTML
Their shadows fought separately in the background
"You were made to feel pain," Mirror said. "I was made to survive it."
"You were born of memory. I was born of intention."
Aaryan gritted his teeth. "You're just scared. You think being cold makes you stronger?"
He vanished — reappearing behind Mirror — and landed a solid hit.
But instead of blood, lines of broken code exploded from Mirror's cheek.
Error: Sync Failed. Rewriting Identity...
🧠 Inside the Mind Code
Suddenly, everything paused.
Frozen mid-fight.
Aaryan blinked.
He wasn't in the chamber anymore.
He was inside a digital river — like flowing water made of code. Memories swirled around him: his mother's laugh, his old room, the first time he glitched.
But then... he saw something horrifying.
Another Aaryan — younger — dying on a hospital bed.
The doctors were shouting. Someone was crying.
And then a hooded man injected a glowing chip into the child's chest.
"Index implant successful. Let the system replicate him."
"But what about the original consciousness?"
"Doesn't matter. As long as it forgets."
Aaryan gasped.
His entire life… had been a replacement story.
🧬 The Truth Unfolds
Back in the chamber, Mirror Aaryan stood calmly.
"You've seen it now, haven't you?"
"We are both simulations. But only one of us has the full code."
"The other… will be deleted."
🕒 Timer: 0:13… 0:12…
Aaryan clenched his fists.
"No," he said.
"I won't let either of us be deleted. There's another way."
Mirror smirked. "Then show me."
⚡ The Final Move
Aaryan drew both hands forward.
His mark flared bright — blue lines spiraling across his chest, down to his legs.
The Core responded.
The chamber glowed. Time slowed.
And Aaryan said just two words:
"Merge sequence."
The system shuddered.
Both versions of Aaryan pulled toward each other — screaming, resisting — but the Core forced the process.
Fusion in progress...
Two glitch signatures twisted, collided...
Then — silence.
And standing alone in the white void…
Was Aaryan.
Both and neither.Version 1.0 + 2.0 = ???
🌃 Aftershock
When he opened his eyes, he was back outside.
The city skyline shimmered in the night.
But now he could see it all — the invisible codes, floating over buildings, under the streets, inside people's phones.
His powers had evolved.
He was no longer just a glitch.
He was the rewrite.
🕵️ Final Message
That night, a notification blinked on every hidden protocol device across Delhi.
[Index Resync Detected][Carrier AARYAN: Status = Undefined][Phase 3: Initiate Total Surveillance][Activate: Shadow Core Retrieval Units]
In an underground base, a woman with silver eyes whispered:
"He's stabilized. That means... it's time to send the Others."
