Synopsis
This work is 100% mine—if you try to copy it, the system might just send a task to find you! No stealing, no reposting. If you like it, share the love, not the content! Nash Daniel Pierce, a second-year Computer Science student in New York City, has always played life safe—good grades, a clear-cut future, and an endless cycle of coursework. But when a cryptic email from Equinox Systems appears in his inbox, everything changes. The email grants him access to Equinox-00, an advanced system designed to push him toward success through structured tasks. Skeptical but intrigued, Nash downloads it onto his phone, only to be met with a cold, impersonal AI issuing its first directive: Attend a hackathon, connect with three professionals, and secure a freelance job within a week. The rewards? Money, skills, and an edge in his career. The penalty? System restrictions that could hinder his progress. As Nash follows the system’s relentless guidance, he realizes it’s more than just a tool—it’s a force shaping his future, one challenge at a time. But with every task completed, a deeper question emerges: Who created The Equinox Protocol, and why was he chosen? Disclaimer: The picture used in this novel does not belong to me.

Chapter 1 - Author's Note: Welcome to the Creation!

Hey there, reader!

First of all, thank you for picking up my story. Whether you stumbled upon it by chance or were drawn in by the mysterious premise, I truly appreciate you taking the time to read. Writing is a journey, and I'm excited to have you along for the ride!

Now, a quick disclaimer: I'm not perfect. I try my best, but you might come across grammatical mistakes, awkward phrasing, or the occasional typo. If you spot them, congratulations! You have sharp eyes. And if you feel like pointing them out, I actually welcome constructive feedback. Just, you know… be kind about it. We're all here because we love stories, and I'm learning just like everyone else.

HOWEVER!!! If you don't like this story, if it's not your cup of tea, that's totally fine. Just hit that back button and find something you enjoy. No hate comments. I repeat—NO HATE COMMENTS. If you feel an uncontrollable urge to type one, please take a deep breath, step away, and go hug a pillow instead. The pillow deserves it more than I do.

That being said, this story is something I'm deeply passionate about, and I hope you'll enjoy the twists, turns, and mysteries ahead. The Equinox Protocol is just getting started, and so is Nash's journey. Stick around, because things are about to get really interesting.

Thanks again for being here. Let's dive in!

FEATHER.
