“The System” was born from a question I kept asking myself: What happens when an innocent boy is trapped inside a corrupt world he never chose? I wanted to explore betrayal, survival, and the harsh reality of being used as a pawn in bigger games of power.

This story is not just about one boy—it’s about how systems can break people, and how trust can both save and destroy us. I’ve written it in a fast-paced, microfiction style so every chapter hits hard and keeps the tension alive.

As you read, remember: sometimes the real enemy is not the people in front of us, but the system behind them.
