This novel was born from an unforgettable influence in my life: my older brother. He introduced me to Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) when I was just a teenager. I remember him confidently declaring, "Give me 30 minutes with anyone, and I'll have them doing whatever I want." At the time, I thought he was bluffing. Yeah... I was wrong.
I'd watch him walk into a room. He'd scan the crowd, approach people with charismatic ease, and within moments, they'd be laughing, agreeing, and drawn to him. When it came to women, it was like watching a magician at work. They'd hang onto his every word and he would use this to have an incredible (and super chaotic) sex life. Obviously, teenage me was left stunned. How did he do that? What was he even doing?
When I finally asked, he simply said, "It's not magic. It's principles. People think in patterns, and when you understand those patterns, you can guide their perception." (I might be paraphrasing here, but you get the point)
Back then, I didn't fully grasp what he was saying. Little did I know, he was using NLP techniques on me, subtly shaping how I saw him. I found myself admiring him, almost idolizing him in an unhealthy way. My brother is so awesome! He can do anything!! Those were things I thought. As I grew older, my awe turned to resentment after I started looking back and understanding what happened. It wasn't fair. Why does he have this superpower, and I don't?
But that resentment wasn't really about him. It was about me. I realised the truth: I envied his skill. I was angry that I hadn't learned it for myself. That's when everything changed. I dove headfirst into understanding NLP while writing ACA: TPTO. And as I studied, it was like seeing the world through a new lens. I began to notice how to connect actions, words, and emotions, and use that connection to create powerful outcomes.
That's when the idea for this story came to me. I thought, What if someone had this gift in the form of a System? What if they used it, not just to navigate life, but to create an incredible, high-stakes journey? And then... what if he wasn't the only person who had the system?
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. But what if there were many of these kings, all trying to be emperors?
Let me share something important: this story isn't just about entertainment. It's a tool. If you take the time to truly understand the principles of everything that is happening in these chapters, you won't just enjoy the ride, you'll come away with skills to transform your life.
No joke. I am dead serious. I mean think about it.
Imagine being able to connect with anyone, influence outcomes, and steer your destiny with purpose. That's what NLP, paired with tools like Game Theory, offers. If I could go back to my teenage self, I'd shake him out of his distractions. Stop chasing girls, and wasting hours on video games, you idiot!! I'd say, "Learn this now. It's a game-changer."
So here's my advice: don't just read this story... ABSORB IT. Look beyond the plot and dialogue and the raunchy sex scenes. Pay attention to how characters communicate and how they shape their world. Pay attention to how characters think, and how as long as you can shift your belief systems and your skills, you can shift your destiny. Those same principles can work for you, too.
Here's a fact you might not wish to find out... You have to sacrifice who you are now, to get what you want in the future. This novel is exactly that kind of story... of sacrificing and changing to become Great. Actually, I'm calling it a novel, but deep down I feel like it's more than that.
It's NOT just a novel. It's an OPPORTUNITY. The question is: are you ready to take it?
