Draft of Existence
" Reality is a work in progress." |
"In a dystopian world ruled by identity-controlling technology, a rebel scientist sacrifices herself to merge with a cosmic force, transforming a fractured society into a utopia—only to question whether this new reality is the final truth or just another layer of the illusion."
|
| |
"Through a series of fictional narratives, this work seeks to explore and illuminate the profound ideas of the Artvimo Theory, using imaginative storytelling to delve into its themes of cyclical human existence, suffering, and evolution. Each narrative offers a unique lens to further investigate the theory’s core principles, inviting readers to reflect on the mysteries of human existence and purpose." |

ACT 1: THE CODE
Sequence 1: The Illusion
Opening Image: A sterile, hyper-modern city (Nova-9) under the Orthogonal Grid, a sentient AI lattice. Citizens wear Prism Bands (glowing wrist devices) that project holographic IDs (LX-9A2, M1R4-7H) and edit their appearances. Public Mirror Interfaces mask decay with illusions of perfection.
Dr. Lena Voss (40s): A Grid scientist, adjusts her Band to hide exhaustion and scars. Her daughter Mira (8) draws chaotic glyphs (a special language and pictograms secretly created by Lena) that glitch nearby interfaces, attracting Grid Enforcers.
Inciting Incident: Mira’s Band flashes red (95% SUFFERING). A Grief-Fractured (storm of crying faces) manifests. Lena triggers her Band’s Defense Mode (translucent shield) to escape.
Sequence 2: The Crack
Lena’s Secret: At home, she deactivates her Band, revealing her true face (weary, scarred). Mira’s sketchbook overflows with glyphs.
Mira’s Defiance: “They call me M1R4-7H. But I’m Mira. Why can’t they see me?”
Grid Ultimatum: Enforcers demand Lena “correct” Mira’s anomalies or delete her.

ACT 2: THE FRACTURED
Sequence 3: The Rebel
Jax (30s): A rogue hacker with a cracked Prism Band rescues Lena and Mira. Reprograms Lena’s Band to expose the Grid’s lies: “safe” sectors are ruins; “healthy” citizens are hollowed-out shells.
Key Dialogue:
Jax: “The Grid’s a parasite. It feeds on pain to keep its lies alive.”
Lena: “I built this system. I can destroy it.”
Action Beat: Fractured ambush. Lena uses Outer Illusion to project a fake corridor. Mira’s glyphs sprout bioluminescent vines, impaling a Guilt-Fractured (mirror-shard beast).
Sequence 4: The Vault
Discovery: The trio infiltrates the Vault, a cathedral-like chamber where the Grid hoards stolen suffering.
Fractured King: Director Karr, now fused with the Vault’s energy, emerges and transformed into a dark, illusionary force - a disfigured form, constantly shifting and morphing, transform into an illusion—the ultimate manifestation of suffering, with the ability to twist reality itself.
Twist: Karr offers Lena a deal—erase Mira’s anomalies and reclaim power.

ACT 3: THE RECKONING
Sequence 5: The Sacrifice
Climax:
Lena stands at the heart of the Grid, surrounded by the chaotic energy of the Fractured and the crumbling remnants of Nova-9. She looks at her Prism Band, the symbol of her identity and control, and hesitates for a moment.
Lena (whispering to herself): “If this is another draft… let it be the one that matters.”
She smashes her Prism Band, releasing a surge of energy. The Creator Energy—a cosmic force of flickering light—engulfs her, merging with her essence.
Creator Energy (echoing through the void): “We are one...”
Visual Spectacle:
The Grid implodes in a cascade of light and sound. Fractured dissolve into Weavers, their forms transforming into luminous humanoids adorned with empathy-glyphs that radiate warmth and understanding.
Nova-9 undergoes a breathtaking metamorphosis: skyscrapers morph into biotech forests, their surfaces pulsing with life. Mirror Interfaces shatter, revealing the beauty in decay—cracks filled with glowing moss, rivers of light flowing through the ruins.
The sky shifts from a cold, metallic gray to a vibrant aurora, symbolizing the rebirth of the world.
Sequence 6: The Truth
Final Dialogue:
Mira rushes to Lena, who is now fading, her body dissolving into the Creator Energy.
Mira (teary, holding Lena’s fading hand): “You didn’t fix it… you freed us.”
Lena (fading, her voice echoing with cosmic resonance): “Your name is Mira. Never let them take it. But remember… is this freedom the final truth, or just another illusion to guide us further?”
Mira pauses, her eyes widening as she looks around at the transformed world. The camera captures her face—a mix of awe, hope, and uncertainty.
Mira (softly, almost to herself): “What if… this is just another draft?”
Visual Spectacle:
The camera pans across the transformed Nova-9: biotech forests pulse with life, Fractured dissolve into Weavers, and the remnants of the Grid shimmer like stardust.
As Lena’s form dissolves completely into the Creator Energy, the screen flickers briefly—almost imperceptibly—as if the reality itself is glitching.
The final shot lingers on Mira, her face a mix of emotions, as the camera pulls back to reveal the vast, glowing expanse of the new world.
Post-Credits Scene:
A Weaver (Lena’s spirit) hums a lullaby-glyph to a newborn. The baby’s Prism Band, now a seedling of light, glows softly.
The camera zooms in on the baby’s eyes, which reflect a flicker of the Creator Energy. A faint whisper echoes: “Another draft begins…”
The screen fades to black, leaving the audience with the question: “Is this the final truth, or just another layer of the illusion?”

Karr’s Final Form: The Dark, Disfigured Horror
No Face, No Eyes:
His body would become faceless, with a smooth, unnerving void where his features should be—no eyes, no mouth. The absence of a face makes him more of an entity than a person, more like a force of nature. This could also symbolize the loss of humanity, as Karr evolves into something more abstract and unknowable.
The lack of facial features would strip away any semblance of empathy, further separating him from humanity and making him feel more like an alien presence. His voice could echo from everywhere, becoming more terrifying as it has no source.
Dark, Organic Texture:
His form could be disfigured, with parts of his body melting, shifting, or appearing to be in a constant state of decay or transformation. He could have a shadowy, blackened form, like a morphing mass of darkness, made up of dark tendrils or jagged, shifting shapes.
The dark texture could give him an inhuman, monstrous appearance, but at the same time, it would be hard to pin down exactly what he looks like. This makes Karr feel like something undefinable, truly alien, and truly dangerous.
Horror Show Imagery:
This dark form could be accompanied by horror imagery, like glitching codes, fractured walls, and distorted, floating visions of suffering souls that constantly shift in and out of the environment. As Karr moves or interacts with space, reality itself would glitch, creating terrifying fractures that seem to disintegrate the world around Lena and Mira.
The environment would seem to melt into a nightmare, with images of twisted, horrific shapes, like flesh or dark veins, creeping along the floor, walls, and ceilings, reflecting the deepest fears and sufferings of the human machines. This would make the room feel alive with terror, and the environment itself would become Karr’s weapon.
Vanishing and Reappearing:
As a shape-shifting horror, Karr can disappear into the space, only to reappear as an even darker form—a terrifying presence that Lena and Mira can never fully grasp. One moment, he might appear as a disembodied voice whispering haunting phrases, the next as a glitching mass that consumes the space around them. His form shifts and dissolves like a nightmare that cannot be fought physically.
The feeling of being trapped in this constant cycle of appearance and disappearance would add to the psychological tension of the final confrontation. Lena and Mira would be faced with an enemy who doesn’t just control the environment, but becomes the environment itself.
Horror in High-Tech Sci-Fi:
The blending of high-tech sci-fi elements with a dark horror aesthetic would give the story a truly unique atmosphere. This isn't just a battle against a traditional monster or villain, but rather a battle against reality itself—one that shifts, changes, and distorts in ways that are beyond comprehension.
The high-tech environment (the vault, the grid, the mirror, and the wristband) contrasts with the ancient and primal horror that Karr represents. His appearance would smash the futuristic world into something nightmarish, where no amount of technology or control can save Lena and Mira from the suffering he has absorbed and the reality he can now bend.
Karr's Final Form Reflection:
Karr’s final form serves as a visual and thematic representation of the Artvimo Theory’s exploration of suffering and darkness. His transformation into a faceless, shifting horror reflects the unprocessed pain and chaos that the Grid has suppressed and weaponized. By contrasting his monstrous form with the sleek, futuristic environment, the narrative highlights the duality of human existence: the tension between our technological progress and the primal, unresolved suffering that lies beneath.
This transformation also underscores the Artvimo Theory’s idea that suffering, when unaddressed, can corrupt and consume, becoming a force of destruction. Karr’s ultimate form is not just a villain but a manifestation of the collective suffering of humanity, making his defeat a symbolic act of liberation and growth.

Final Fight with Karr (Act 2)
The Transformation of Karr
As Lena and Mira step deeper into the illusion, Karr’s form mutates, his body shifting like a living shadow—a grotesque fusion of suffering, chaos, and control.
His eyes burn with void-like darkness, and his voice distorts as he grows larger, his presence consuming the entire illusion.
Karr’s voice echoes through the space:
“The darkness was always good! But you ruined it—with your greed, your selfishness!”
“You think you can defeat suffering? It is the very essence of life. There is no escaping it. Only embrace it.”
The Mirror of Truth
Suddenly, a massive mirror materializes in front of Lena, stretching endlessly.
In the reflection—Lena sees herself, stripped of all illusions. No masks, no distortions. Just a tired, wounded, imperfect human.
Karr’s voice slashes through the air:
“Look at you! Imperfect. Weak. Always discontent!”
The mirror shatters violently, the shards morphing into thousands of razor-sharp fragments, spinning in the air like deadly projectiles.
With a wave of his hand, Karr commands them forward—a storm of glass hurtling toward Lena.
Lena’s First Defense
Instinctively, Lena raises her wristband, activating a defensive barrier.
The shards collide with the invisible shield, but some penetrate, slicing her skin, drawing blood.
She grits her teeth, eyes locking onto Karr—his presence growing stronger as the illusion feeds off Mira’s rising fear level (99%).
Karr’s True Power – The Extraction of Suffering
The ground trembles as Karr extends his hand toward Mira, pulling energy from her — Mira gasps, clutching her chest, eyes wide in terror. The wristband alarm blares.
Karr smirks, his voice dripping with mockery:
“You fear me… That is why I grow stronger.”
Mira’s form flickers, as if being rewritten. If Karr consumes her suffering completely, she will cease to exist.
Lena’s Acceptance & The Power of Unification
Lena looks at Mira—her daughter, helpless and afraid—and finally, she understands.
With a deep breath, Lena softens. Her grip on the fight loosens, but her resolve strengthens.
Softly, yet firmly: “Mira, run."
”Mira hesitates, tears forming.
Lena, smiling through the pain: “Go. Now.”As Mira stumbles away, something changes—The floating shards stop midair.
In front of Lena, glowing pictograms materialize—ancient symbols of love, compassion, and kindness.
Her own language. The one she created.
Karr’s expression twists in rage. “What are you doing?! You cannot defeat me!
”Lena exhales, tears slipping down her bloodstained face.“I accept my imperfection."
The glass shards suddenly swivel—But instead of striking her, they reverse course—Spiraling back toward Karr, piercing through him—a storm of his own creation turning against him.
He roars in agony, his form splintering apart, but he is not fully defeated.
The Heart of the Grid
Karr reconstitutes, his form torn but not destroyed.
The world around them—the Grid—begins collapsing.
Fractured illusions shatter, revealing the raw energy beneath.
Mira’s fear level spikes: 99.9%—Critical.
Lena’s Final Choice
Lena looks at her wristband—her symbol of control.
She hesitates, then whispers:
“If this is another draft… let it be the one that matters.”
She smashes her Prism Band.
The Creator Energy Awakens
A surge of energy erupts from her body.
The Creator Energy—flickering like a cosmic aurora—engulfs her.
A voice echoes through the void:
“We are one...”
The Grid implodes.
Rebirth of the World
Fractured illusions dissolve.
Weavers emerge, humanoid figures glowing with empathy-glyphs, their bodies pulsating with the light of understanding.
Nova-9 transforms:
Skyscrapers morph into biotech forests, pulsing with life.
Cracks in the world fill with glowing moss, rivers of light flowing through them.
The sky shifts from a cold metallic gray to a swirling aurora.
Final Words
Mira rushes to Lena, who is fading, dissolving into the Creator Energy.
Mira (teary, holding Lena’s fading hand):
“You didn’t fix it… you freed us.”
Lena (fading, her voice echoing through the cosmos):
“Your name is Mira. Never let them take it. But remember… is this freedom the final truth, or just another illusion to guide us further?”
Mira’s eyes widen.
She looks around at the transformed world, realization dawning.
Mira (softly, almost to herself):
“What if… this is just another draft?”
Lena vanishes into the Creator Energy.
A brief flicker—like a glitch in reality.
A New Beginning
A Weaver hums a lullaby-glyph to a newborn.
The baby’s Prism Band—now a seedling of light—glows softly.
The camera zooms in on the baby’s eyes— A flicker of the Creator Energy reflects back.
A faint whisper echoes:
“Another draft begins…”
Screen fades to black.
Final words appear:
“Is this the final truth, or just another layer of the illusion?”
