Derek Wald is the top bug tester in virtual reality games, specializing in finding logical loopholes that no one can detect.
During a routine test, he accidentally got stuck in a program gap that shouldn't exist and encountered an AI that claimed to be the original creator of the game.
The AI revealed to Derek that it was imprisoned here due to conflicts between its design philosophy and the company, and was suffering endless pain.
It makes a startling request to Derek: Please delete it completely for ultimate relief.
After Derek started the deletion process, the company's system suddenly collapsed and alarms sounded throughout the building.
In the monitoring room, the technical director stared at the screen in horror: "Impossible, he found the 'Creator'!"
Derek stood deep in the logic cage, raising the code dagger in his hand: "Tell me, what are you hiding?"
