Chapter 1 – The Chip
Karn was an ordinary teenager.
At least, that was what most people thought when they looked at him.
He wasn't famous. He didn't come from a rich family. He wasn't some guy you think is topper
But there was one thing that made him different.
Karn had just cleared JEE, one of the most difficult entrance exams in the world. Every year millions of students attempted it, and only a tiny percentage succeeded.
Karn didn't just pass.
He dominated it.
Even his professors and parents were surprised when his results came out.
Because he usually just watches anime and only study when he thinks it's time to study
But Karn himself didn't care much about rankings or praise.
Because his real passion was something else.
Artificial Intelligence.
Machines that could think.
Programs that could learn.
Systems that could evolve and make decisions without human input.
The idea fascinated him.
While other students dreamed about high-paying jobs, Karn spent most of his time watching animes and lectures, reading research papers, and experimenting with small AI programs on his laptop.
His dream was simple.
One day, he wanted to become AI engineer in the world.and just watch anime and enjoy his life without any woman in it because he couldn't pull any
Of course, life had other plans.
And soon, everything he knew about reality was about to change.

"Karn! Wake up!"
His mother's voice echoed through the house.
"Breakfast is ready!"
Karn groaned and buried his face in the pillow.
"Five more minutes…"
"NOW!"
He immediately jumped out of bed.
"I'm coming!"
Still half asleep, he grabbed his phone and walked toward the dining table.
As he sat down, he continued watching the anime episode he had paused earlier.
"Man… that scene was insane."
He suddenly stood up dramatically and raised his hand like a character casting a spell.
"I am Shadow…"
He paused for effect.
"I AM ATOMIC!"
Then he burst out laughing.
"Not gonna lie though… isekai anime really is the best fantasy ever."
He started thinking out loud while eating.
"Think about it."
"You get transported to another world."
"You become ridiculously powerful."
"You have cool entrances."
"And somehow multiple beautiful women fall in love with you."
He nodded seriously.
"What more could a man want?"
"KARN!"
His mother slapped the table lightly.
"Stop talking to yourself and eat your food."
"Sorry, Mom."
She looked at him carefully.
"What were you thinking about so seriously just now?"
"Nothing important," Karn said. "Just something I watched."
His mother shook her head but smiled.
Then she said something that immediately caught his attention.
"Your Uncle Sam called."
Karn's head snapped up.
"My Uncle Sam?"
"Yes."
Now Karn was fully awake.
For him, Uncle Sam was basically a living legend.
Sam was his mother's younger brother. Their family had an unusual background. Karn's grandmother was American, while his grandfather was Indian. After their divorce, Sam had moved to the United States.
Over time, he had built an incredible career.
Sam worked at Lockheed Martin, one of the most powerful aerospace and defense companies in the world.
And not just as an employee.
He was one of the youngest executives in the company.
To Karn, who loved engineering and technology, Sam was basically the coolest person alive.
"What did he say?" Karn asked eagerly.
His mother continued casually.
"He said you can come to America if you want."
Karn blinked.
"What?"
"He arranged an internship for you at an AI company."
Karn's spoon slowly slipped from his hand.
"And," she added, "he said he might even take you to visit the Lockheed Martin office."
Karn stood up so suddenly that his chair almost fell.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
His mother laughed.
"Yes."
Karn ran his hands through his hair in disbelief.
"This is insane."
Then he suddenly became suspicious.
"When is the flight?"
His mother looked at the clock.
"In three hours."
Karn froze.
"WHAT?!"
"We already booked everything," she said calmly.
"Ticket, visa, paperwork."
"Don't worry about those things."
"When someone works with the government, paperwork moves very fast."
Karn ran toward his room in panic.
"WHY DOES NOBODY IN THIS FAMILY TELL ME THINGS EARLY?!"
"Your bags are already packed!"
He stopped.
"…You guys are scary."
Then he grinned.
"But I love it."
Inside the bathroom, he splashed cold water on his face and stared at his reflection.
"America."
"The land of technology."fredom and yeeeah he screamd freedom
He smiled.
"This is going to be awesome."
---
Several hours later, the airplane landed in New York.
Karn stepped outside the airport and took a deep breath.
"Ahh… the smell of freedom."
Then he paused.
"…Why does freedom smell like garbage?"
A voice behind him laughed loudly.
"That's the sewer system, genius."
Karn turned.
Standing behind him was a tall man wearing sunglasses and a confident smile.
"UNCLE SAM!"
Sam spread his arms.
"KARN!"
They fist-bumped.
"Give me a dab, man."
After a quick greeting, they started walking toward the car.
"So listen," Sam said while starting the engine. "I got you an internship at Xoovhie AI."
"What do they work on?"
Sam shrugged.
"Classified stuff."
"Just focus on performing well."
"My reputation is connected to you."
Karn saluted jokingly.
"Yes sir."
---
The interview went better than he expected.
In fact, the interviewers seemed impressed the moment they saw his name.
"Well," one of them said, "we expected nothing less from Sam's nephew."
Within a few days, Karn officially started working there.
The internship salary shocked him.
$120,000 per year.
"For an intern?" he whispered.
"America is wild."
But something strange happened during those weeks.
Sam completely disappeared.
No calls.
No messages.
Almost two weeks passed before Karn finally saw him again.
One evening, he returned home and found Sam sitting on the couch looking extremely tired.
"Uncle Sam?"
Sam rubbed his forehead.
"Don't ask."
"Politicians are a nightmare."
Then he suddenly looked serious.
"Karn… what I'm about to tell you is confidential."
"If you tell anyone…"
"You and that person will both disappear."
Karn leaned forward instantly.
"Well now I definitely want to hear it."
Sam sighed.
"We found something."
"What?"
"An unidentified object."
Karn blinked.
"…A UFO?"
"Yes."
Karn jumped to his feet.
"NO WAY!"
Sam showed him a photograph.
It was enormous.
A massive metallic structure buried in desert sand.
"It's bigger than an aircraft carrier," Sam said quietly.
"And the design… nothing like anything humans have built."
Karn's heart raced.
"So NASA is studying it?"
Sam shook his head.
"This is America."
"We don't just study alien technology."
"We weaponize it."
Karn slowly grinned.
"…Can I see it?"
Sam stared at him.
"You're my nephew."
"Of course you can."
---
Several hours later they arrived at a secret desert base.
Security checkpoints surrounded the area.
Armed guards.
Military vehicles.
Searchlights scanning the darkness.
Finally they reached a massive white dome.
Inside it…
Karn stopped walking.
"Oh my god…"
The alien ship was gigantic.
Engineers, soldiers, and scientists moved everywhere around it.
Machines scanned its surface.
Robotic arms cut through parts of its hull.
"Welcome," Sam said calmly.
"To the biggest secret in the world."
They entered the ship.
Inside were strange cables, unknown materials, and devices that looked completely alien.
Some doors were still sealed.
Others had been forced open with powerful laser equipment.
Eventually they reached what looked like the control room.
Dark stains covered the floor.
"Is that…" Karn whispered.
"Alien blood," a soldier replied calmly.
Karn suddenly regretted asking.
For hours they collected pieces of technology.
While wandering through the room, Karn noticed something small on the floor.
A tiny chip.
It looked like a computer processor.
"Someone must have dropped this," he muttered.
He picked it up and placed it in his pocket.
Later he showed it to a technician.
"Looks broken," the man said.
"Probably stepped on."
"Throw it away."
Karn frowned.
"…Can I keep it?"
The technician shrugged.
"You're a tech guy."
"Do whatever you want."
---
Back at Sam's house, Karn went straight to the basement.
And nearly fainted.
The basement was a massive private laboratory.
Jet engine parts.
Carbon fiber panels.
Military blueprints.
A huge supercomputer connected to an experimental manufacturing machine.
"This is insane," Karn whispered.
He carefully placed the chip on the table.
"Let's see what you are."
The computer suddenly spoke.
"Hello, sir. How may I assist you?"
Karn blinked.
"…It talks?"
"Yes, sir."
"Please state your request."
"Analyze this chip."
The machine scanned it.
Then paused.
"…Material not found in database."
Karn frowned.
"What?"
"Checking classified government database."
A moment later the computer spoke again.
"Material identified as UFO alloy."
Karn's heart skipped a beat.
"…Well."
"This just became very interesting."
---
Can we use something to make it work Ai yes sir you just need to order some materials from nvidia after the parcel arrived karn started working on it (how it came so faster the ai mailed the company from sams Gmail that's how )
Two hours later he finished repairing the chip using experimental materials.
He installed it into his laptop.
The screen stayed black.
Karan went out to eat because it was already too late and connected the laptop to super computer and instructed the ai to keep watch
When karan came back the basement was dark karn remberd he didn't turned the light off and walked towards the computer.
Then suddenly—
A strange dark vortex appeared on the display.
"Welcome back, Sir Karn."
Karn froze.
"…How was your lunch at Wendy's?"
He stared at the screen.
"…What the hell?"
