Steve listened attentively to the system's explanation. It made sense, at least logically, but the line between reality and illusion had become increasingly blurred for him.
He sighed and leaned back on the bed in his hotel room, staring at the ceiling. "I never signed up for this. I just wanted to change my life, not dive into a cosmic rabbit hole."

"Start by becoming someone first."
He didn't know it yet, but something had changed deep within him, and he was beginning to detach himself and become distant from everything.

Ali Alisson, a high-ranking official in the Department of Territorial Security of the Kingdom of Macro, sat behind his spacious desk in a meticulously organized office. The room was well-lit, with sunlight streaming in through large windows, offering a picturesque view of the bustling urban landscape below.
Ali leaned back in his leather chair, his sharp eyes scanning a confidential report, fully aware of the responsibility resting on his shoulders. As a key figure in the security apparatus of the Kingdom of Macro, he was tasked with maintaining the security and stability of the nation.
Suddenly, a discreet knock sounded at the door. "Enter," he said firmly.
The door opened gently, revealing a impeccably dressed figure. It was his right-hand man, the longtime faithful deputy, Paul Sinclair. "Reporting, sir."
"What's the issue?" Ali inquired.
"Alan Mousk and a team from his company, X, were spotted today at the Arbat airport."
"And?" Ali leaned forward, his interest piqued.
Paul Sinclair responded, "Well, sir, after some investigation, it appears they've come to meet with Steve Davis."
"Have I heard that name before?"
"Yes, sir, he's the first-year student who found the solution to a mathematical conjecture."
"Hmm, and why do they want to see him?"
"We don't know yet, sir."
"Keep an eye on them and contact me as soon as we have something."

Back at Steve's place, he was gradually coming to terms with this new reality. After answering several emails from his lawyers and X, he spent about twenty minutes talking to his parents.
He wanted to complete his mission, but forming a special force in his country was highly complicated, if not illegal. So, to start, he had to choose whether to do it illegally or prove his worth to the state for their support. After a few minutes of weighing the pros and cons, he decided to play on both fronts.
