Synopsis
Symmetry, Balance, and Perfection The world is a perfect machine. But every machine has a tax. For nine hundred loops, the Corrupt Trinity has maintained the "Symmetry" a flawless, frozen reality where time is a loop and death is an administrative error. To the billions living in the Orrery, it is a utopia. To those who can see the Lattice, it is a digital cage powered by the stolen heat of human souls. Nacelle was never meant to be a hero. She was meant to be a housing a hollow vessel designed to stabilize the world’s equations. But when her mentor is erased from existence, Nacelle awakens a glitched Pulse that follows the Path of Libra. In a world where others burn their lives for speed or strength, she is the only one who can see the Symmetry Tax and the only one who can refuse to pay it. Now, as the 901st loop begins to fracture, a new threat emerges from the shadows. The Shard-Brokers are dealing in fragments of dead gods, and The Constants the living embodiments of physics have been deployed to "patch" the rebellion out of existence. Joined by a squad of six fellow "Glitches," Nacelle must hunt for the legendary, vanished speedster Lorenzo and master the suicidal art of the Overclock. In a universe governed by cold, hard math, Nacelle has a choice: Balance the scales... or break them entirely. [Physics is a jealous mistress. And Nacelle is about to break her heart.]

Chapter 1 - axiom

Althea central city , sector 9: a place that would give one nightmares especially in the dead of night

as dark clouds loom over blocking any moonlight from passing through the only source of light being the light posts that follow along the road

and on this particular night a shadow could be seen wandering the streets without a worry , the mysterious figure found himself in an alley and he went deeper disappearing into the shadows

on the other side he emerged and there stood another man they spoke but for only a brief second

"You got the money?" Yes.

and I assume you have the good?

The two silhouettes nodded to each other as they exanged goods and as they were preparing to leave the alley another silhouette appeared looming over for above

"Stop! , you have been caught shard brokers , surrender immediately or face a direct confrontation"

The shard brokers and the buyer having been the experienced type chose to deal with the intruder immediately in hopes of leaving no witnesses

"Alright we surrender"

"Oh really?"

The intruder sounded quite dissatisfied almost as if he had hoped to have a fight and so she descended gracefully

Her violent landing destroying the tarmac on the road and producing a thundering sound that alerted the two shard brokers

Alright then hand it over , the shards I mean and no funny business got it

How about no!

The shard brokers revealed their knives , they lunged forwards and coordinated their attacks in an attempt to disable the vigilante

The shard brokers only kept getting quicker and quicker however the vigilante thought to herself

"They're so slow how come?, it must be the same thing experienced by a boxer with many years of experience"

"I can clearly see their attacks as they come I could dodge bullets at this point however my reaction speed is my current limiting factor .noted. now let's see what are the limits of my physical capabilities"

"We've got you know you little piece of - h-hhuh"

Her eyes widened and as she grinned from ear to ear with incredible delight she lept high into the sky an average person would think she was flying as she glided over the shard brokers

The vigilante surprisingly was in just as much shock as the shard brokers maybe even more however before getting completely engrossed and analyzing the situation she thought to focus on the battle she was currently in and so she turned her head to the brokers inhaling the shards

"Hey! what the hell do you think you're doing you're going to die if you take that much , are you really throwing you life away for-"

"You don't seem to understand kid lemme tell you how it is , our lives are forfeit to the boss if we don't get the goods to their owners , so just die already you brat-ahh-ahhhh-ha hgn"

"They've gone full phsycho maybe if I hide they'll tear each other apart or maybe-"

The brokers had gone psycho their nerves had been fried by the intense heat at the pituitary generated by the heavy abuse of hyper shards

The shard brokers we're rapidly approaching the vigilante moving in unpredictable quick successive bursts of motion

The very air around them was different it was warm then it was hot and then it became piping hot plasma they were no longer human they were nothing more than pure destructive energy .

Even though the sun had set many hours ago the vigilante saw it the light that shines on the clouds that glowing sky

He had witnesses it's birth he felt it's scorching heat and witnessed it shrivel down to nothingness

"That was incredible"

There the vigilante laid scorched in a crater created by the explosion of the phsycho , she laid there even with a durable body that comes from awakening one is still susceptible to injury

Flesh can be burnt from the body muscles can tear and bones can break however eventually the bodies natural healing factor will kick into motion capable of even saving lives on the verge of death and such was the case with the vigilante

The healing of the vigilante being undisturbed aided in her quick recovery , healing is only but one of the many advantages of a being that is awakened

The basics include heightened sense of vision and hearing that far surpasses any existing animals , their body becomes far more durable than a regular human being able to withstand 10k newtons of force , an average awakened can lift 2 tons , and they can move at speeds of 30m/s in their peak

The vigilante wrote all her findings in a little notepad he closed the book and on the cover her name nacelle kamajo

***

"Just a regular day I was worried I'd have to skip school because of my injuries the healing really came in handy"

"I wonder how far I can take it though well I probably shouldn't test it so il assume dismemberment is the limit of the healing , a shame I can't run some tests I need a test dummy or something what a drag"

The day continued just as any other day nacelle attended her classes had lunch and went back to her home , and immediately she went to her room to entertain herself with her new found abilities

"Hmm this is interesting awakened people aren't common however due to their popularity one would think they would have dedicated forums about their abilities and such"

"If it's being kept hidden then I know they're hiding some gold , there isn't really any way I could get that information , I could learn hacking but nahhh I'm to lazy , hmm maybe I can get a sidekick hacker accomplice"

And so nacelle searched far and wide on the internet looking for a hacker accomplice

"And.... done I hope someone takes this job , I mean I'm paying good money so I'm sure someone will be willing to do the job , in the mean time guess il hit the gym"

*Bling*

"Oh wow I really didn't expect someone to actually take the job and so swiftly I was about to go to the gym but ohh well hehe"

"My luck is insane hhaha-ha...hmm well this is not good so I'm being monitored I'm guessing it began when I started my research ,*I'm genuinely freaking stupid*"

"Just don't panic.... Chill lets start from the beginning the email it looks legit exactly like the one on all their ads"

"Axiom oversight corp a billion dollar corporation is spying on me , hehe nice I'm up in the world but also I don't stand a chance if I go against them"

"I need some backup , but all I can do now is back off and lay low , I mean realistically this is a prank I mean they haven't knocked at my door... *Listening* well nothing guess I just over reacted hoo what a scare ...."

*Knock knock*

Nacelle froze. A slow smirk crossed her face.

Spoke too soon , well let's get this over with I needed a workout anyway
