[[The 31st Century]]
*January 15, 3002. A baby was born in *the New-World*, a baby, just like everyone else, expected to abide by the "Laws".*
"(font: "sans-serif")[My name is Jacob. Ever since I was young, I was always alone...I don't remember my family, my parents. They died when I was 2, in an accident. All I have is a locket with the words *"Follow what you believe"*. I think my mother gave it to me...But I can't say for sure..."
"The New-World-Order was named by our forefathers, those who shaped our society's "Laws". Those of whom we are taught as soon as we start attending school. In this world, this "perfect utopia", we are taught to follow the "Laws" without questions. And everyone does. People are programmed to perceive the Government's words as the truth.
As I grew up with no one to enforce the "Laws" upon me, I discovered that I was... *different*... I discovered that I had a tendency to question the system. But I didn't say... I didn't tell anyone...I didn't want to be different. Who would..."]

[[Do You Oblige?]]
(font: "sans-serif")["21. The age at which you are assigned roles, jobs, or as *they* call it, **Your Purpose**. In this society, there are only two things that will ensure your survival.
1. Follow your purpose
2. Abide by the "Laws"
*Should anyone not comply with these laws, they will be sent to the **"forbidden zone";** a place where one never returns from. It is rumored to have beasts that torment the souls of those who have passed on... Beasts of which we never speak of*".]

(click: ?c1)[(replace: ?desc)[(font: "sans-serif")["My purpose is that of a reporter, working in the "Media facility 21". I am tasked to take pictures and write articles about events that occur. But not much happens around here...Not much of exciting things that is. I had heard that the last rebellion took place 50 years ago. That was when the forbidden zone was introduced. All the participants in that rebellious act were sent there. After that there was nothing...No fights, no rebellion, nothing...People were just too afraid... And as generations progressed, this became a societal norm-to not participate in violent activities. As time went on, it seemed that whatever the Government decreed was deemed to be the truth...Believing the Government became a second nature to the people.]]]

[[Normal Day At Work]]
(font: "sans-serif")["Work is boring. It is always the same things over and over again...But that is, after all, what we are expected to do. That is what ***"The Order"*** tells us to do..."

*As you reached out for the book, you feel a surge of uneasiness fill your stomach... Something was amiss. You turn the pages and [[the note]] is placed on a specific chapter. As if someone were telling you to read the chapter.*
