Predetermined

Description

It was a new world, a world where a mechanical system ruled; where all was peaceful; where everything was predetermined. It was the perfect world.

 

Well, as perfect as it could've been.

 

 


 

This story is based on the quote below by the wonder that is Tablo.

Foreword

 

Junho was born into a world undisturbed by strife. In this world war was unthinkable, hunger was unheard of and epidemics were  simply impossible.

It came to be many years ago, at a generation where this balance seemed unrealistic and unfeasible. All of this was achieved by a small nation’s leader whose visions surpassed everyone else's. Under his rule, a mother computer was built, a system, which installed thoughts into the people’s minds and made the decisions for them. What started by force, grew to become mankind’s saviour, and eventually, a custom.

Decades later, even as the leader died, the mother computer, now merely called the System lived on, maintaining and generating everything for everyone, from daily routines to lifelong careers, sparing nothing, be it hobbies or spouses.
 
In their world, mankind had emotions, but in no way were those emotions their own.  Nor were their dreams and beliefs.
 
Religion was non-existent because only the System was right.
The System was always right.
 
Nothing could be more balanced.
 
Their world was perfect.
 
Or at least, that was what Junho believed.

Inspired by Harrison Bergeron. (Maybe also by Communism. No. Seriously.)​ 
Oh, then there was also this.

Chapter 1: Woah.. the TaecBinMi one.. I totally didn't expect that. Just that I'm a little bit confused. After your author's note is another ending right? To be honest, I like the first one more. I felt that Sunmi's sacrificial is bigger. Turning into a genie and never able to be back as a human. But the initial ending you had in mind was good too. Especially the part where Sunmi's wishing for Yubin to be dead/sick. So now we all know how she got contracted with AIDs. I really like this one shot. :)
