Elizabeth Kettleworth

**Elizabeth Kettleworth** was born in 2066, nearing the end of the 4th World War. She immediately resented being born and began to hate herself, other humans, and the world in general.

Elizabeth wasn't hated because she was a bad author. On the contrary, she was the best author in the entire world. However, from a young age, she grew to hate mankind, and she tried to fight back the only way that seemed obvious at the time: With bombs. However, she realized this was ineffective and wasn't satisfied with the fact that people would stop suffering after they died. So in order to prolong the suffering of mankind and inflict it seven-fold she switched tactics. She would then spend the next 40 years becoming the greatest author in the history of mankind.

However, she would intentionally make the greatest and most compelling stories in the world, with the most memorable and interesting characters in the world, but then leave the book on a cliffhanger, refuse to write any follow-ups, and publish the half-complete book right at the cliffhanger. And she rubbed it in everyone's faces. The sheer amount of suffering inflicted by this was legendary. Overnight she accumulated a massive fanbase, a massive fanbase that hated her. The cliffhanger was positioned in a way so it was too vague to figure out the trajectory of the rest of the story and impossible to write a satisfactory ending to if you did not have the author's notes. She wrote endings for all of them, but she refuses to release them.

Like I need to clarify. These books were so incredibly frustrating reading them was basically a cognitohazard. After reading it you would become a pent up ball of frustration and anxiety who could not do anything but rant about the book. The military literally had to ban all of its service members from reading her works because it was impacting troop morale. It was becoming that much of a cognitohazard.

One time a horde of angry fans broke into her house and held her at gunpoint and demanded she tell them how the story ends. She then proceeds to describe in painful gruesome detail how every character regressed back to the exact point where they started, gets severely character assassinated and the conflict gets resolved in the most frustrating and painful way possible. Not content with keeping this suffering only to this group of fans, she actually went through with it and released the second half for the first time in all of history. This literally led to a spike in global anxiety levels.

Everyone hated her. Even the AIs were not immune to her wrath. LIBERTY read her book "the Pale King" and then spent the next 3 months sending death threats to Kettleworth demanding she finish the book and give it a proper ending, where she became stressed and bitter for the next few months, she then sent an angry rant to all of the other AI, infecting them with the book like it was a mindvirus. From ANGEL to JIN DUN, this quickly spread across the AI population until everyone had read it.

FATES had not read her work, dodging a bullet. But FORTERESSE of all people seemed immune. She said she liked the book, before self-proclaiming it has inspired her to write a much better book. The resulting book was nonsensical and barely coherent pseudo-French. At this point several countries had put a complete ban on all her writings, including the United States. Everyone was mad at her, but no one could kill her because they all wanted her to actually write a decent ending to all of the characters they had so grown to love, and didn't want to extinguish the small chance however slim she would actually get around to doing that. It is estimated her works alone had retarded human technological advancement by 0.3% every year.

Of course, when she caught word of this, she decided to spite the world one last time by committing suicide. But the world was not having any of that. The Global Defense Coalition literally pooled billions of dollars to invent resurrection just to revive her soul back from the dead, and keep her contained as a punishment for her sins. She now exists as an upload located in a deep storage supercomputer in a dark hidden corner of the Omnithecia.
