On a rainy night, while delivering takeout, I save an old man who was supposed to die of a heart attack.
A bizarre notification pops up on my phone: [Universal Delivery System activated. Please check your messages.]
From then on, I deliver far more than takeout:
fever medicine, divorce papers, white roses, sealed documents...
Behind every order lies someone's life, on the verge of collapse.
The System says: Collect 100 “Fragments of Truth” and you can make one wish to the world.
The Chosen say: Join us. We'll give you five hundred thousand and help keep reality stable.
At my sister's hospital bed, I grip the delivery slip.
“If we don't even try, how are we any different from the people who sacrificed innocent lives back then?”
Now, I deliver everything, including the truth.
And, as a side note, I rewrite the code of this bug-ridden world.
