"I steal from no one. I just shorten detours."
Aiden Korr, private note, 2029
In 2028, while NeuroCore is banned from all regulated financial infrastructure, its underground iterations multiply.
Aiden, invisible, controls everything from a private island near the Bahamas, via a network of synthetic identities and encrypted quantum servers.
CoreRoot, a shell company registered in Minari, serves as a front for corrupted states.
The software is marketed as a "macroeconomic optimizer powered by AI," but in reality, it turns entire economies into laundering factories.
NeuroCore v.4.2 (Shadow Build) allows:
Manipulation of small central banks' monetary rates before their own decisions.
Orchestration of buy/sell cycles for resources using dozens of AI-generated identities.
Integration of stolen funds into stable portfolios through Q-Chain, an untraceable cryptocurrency without quantum tools.
Between late 2028 and 2031, $13.2 billion flows through these circuits.
No names. No traces.
Only algorithmic signatures linked to Aiden.
Viktor Lemezov.
Former GRU cyber analyst, now a "private consultant" for states hostile to the West, Viktor Lemezov has been trying since 2027 to purchase NeuroCore — officially to integrate it into a national economic empowerment project.
But Aiden refuses.
Lemezov, insulted, becomes obsessed.
He hires hackers, sends envoys, offers up to $800 million in crypto — then threats.
All in vain.
In 2030, he attempts to infiltrate a CoreRoot relay center via a fake Emirati company.
He fails.
"Korr has a brain, not a price."
— Lemezov, intercepted transmission
James Doyle, special agent of the IRS assigned to tech affairs, has been investigating Aiden since 2025, aiming to trace the source of an anonymous intelligence reshaping the markets.
What he uncovers surpasses anything he imagined.
Doyle never forgets.
In 2029, he builds an unofficial file to monitor post-national crypto networks.
In 2030, he connects CoreRoot, Q-Chain, and a quantum sea station.
But the Department of Justice refuses to act without solid proof.
James becomes obsessed — enough to sacrifice his own career.
He continues alone, in secret.
In 2031, independent journalist Janice Harwell produces an investigative podcast called "The Phantom Dollar."
She suspects the existence of an individual who has redrawn the global monetary system without ever showing their face.
She describes Aiden without naming him:
"An unaffiliated mathematical mind. Neither state nor corporation. Just a will.
A machine built to self-empower."
Harwell catches the attention of multiple agencies…
and of Aiden himself — who deliberately spares her, just to observe her reaction.
Encrypted Excerpt – Aiden's Journal, 2030
"Good? Evil? Right?
None of these words exist here.
There are only those who understand the structure — and those who are ruled by it.
I choose the structure. I write it."
Viktor Lemezov attempts a coordinated attack on NeuroCore's satellite nodes.
He is crushed by a defensive counter-AI manually activated by Aiden: VoidLock.
James Doyle, isolated, leaks his file to journalists.
But the evidence is too technical, unreadable for the courts.
In response, Aiden erases all traces of legal existence:
He deletes his passport.
Disables all public digital identities.
Dissolves all visible companies.
Then, he publishes a single sentence in an international encrypted ledger:
"I no longer run. I build."
