Hey all, it's been a long time since we all had a conversation. First, the pandemic, and then the noise of AI-generated content has given me no reason to post, other than the mandatory duty posts that I have to do because of my business endeavours. 😅

Well, I feel like there's still a reason to connect, not on a literal level – I mean, come on, how many people can you actually talk to – but on a deeper level, through ideas, philosophy, and stories. 🤓

Stories. 📖

I have one for you all. 😄

I know in this hustling world, why would you read a stupid story? Because, in a way, it's our story, connecting all of us together. So bear with me. And it's my first attempt at this; that's why I came here to share this. Back to home. 🏡

## "INTERNET AND SHADOW GROUPS" 🌐👥

  
In a galaxy distant and unknown, there existed a planet named 'Humani-T'. It was a world populated by nomads, amidst a stretched wasteland.

The scorching temperatures left the surface unbearable, forcing the inhabitants to seek refuge within the natural cave systems of the planet, 'De-Ta', during the fiery days.

As the sun descended below the horizon, the people prepared to make their ascent...

And to where, you might wonder...

Well, on Humani-T, a closely guarded secret existed, which is known as "HAPI-NS." It's a world within a world, flawlessly crafted by the ancient beings, safeguarded by a mysterious enchantment. Should you seek answers from the elders, they will relive tales of days gone by when individuals could dive into the depths of HAPI-NS. However, in recent years, none have managed to break its mystic barrier.

Yet, the legends of HAPI-NS remained majestic, painting vivid pictures of lush forests and cascading waterfalls. Although the sheer reality of Humani-T's downfall might have led some to question the existence of such a paradise, a deep longing for it remained etched in every soul.

And why shouldn't it? 🌿💧🌟

For in its truest essence, it was indeed a paradise...

A few years ago, due to a rather significant incident, everything changed.

You see, reaching HAPI-NS was never a challenge; everyone knew how to get there, and its location was always well-known.

But the spell...

The incident? An asteroid collision with planet Humani-T. Fate, it seemed, had chosen its course, guiding the celestial rock to hit right next to the HAPI-NS Globe.

And that single event reshaped the entire landscape..

Suddenly, strange lines began to turn up, decorated with bright neon lights, rising from their depths.

This captivating event drew the attention of Humani-T's most ingenious and sly builders, a tribe known as the Engis from the NaR region.

As they dared closer, they realized that these lines were extending from HAPI-NS, stretching all the way into the atmosphere above.

Indeed, much like a sprawling spider's web.

And so, the Engis, most craftly, bestowed upon it the name "Inter-net," signifying the Open Land, the gateway to HAPI-NS.


So it lured settlers from far and wide, drawn by the promise of the Inter-net's mystical allure.
