In the early morning, in his bedroom, the sound of rapid keyboard tapping fills the air. Atticus Finchs expression is grave as if tackling a serious issue. His fingers dance across the keys, and after ten minutes, he stops, exhaling deeply. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he smirks at the screen and mutters to himself, "Ill make you understand what true agony is."
The doorbell rings, interrupting his thoughts.
"Who is it?" he calls out.
"Sir, I have a... a package for you," a breathless voice responds from outside the door, sounding strained.
Atticus opens the door to find a panting courier, clearly exhausted from lugging a pile of boxes. "So many? All for me?" he questions, surprised.
After signing for the packages, Atticus struggles to bring them inside. "Who on earth sent these?" he grumbles, sitting on the floor to begin opening them.
He picks up one box, noting the unfamiliar return address from a distant place. As he opens it, he exclaims in shock, "A knife? Who would do such a thing?"
Inside, along with the gleaming blade, is a note with a single line of crooked writing: "Stop your cruel Chapter breaks, or Ill come for you myself!"
Atticus cant help but laugh, not expecting his readers to actually send him threatening packages. But as he continues to open more packages, all containing knives and similar notes, he realizes the gravity of the situation.
"Ungrateful readers, demanding their money back!" one note reads.
"Ill give you one last chance to redeem yourself!" warns another.
"Young man, you have no idea how long my blade is!" threatens a third.
Atticus finds amusement in their anger, feeling rather entertained by the situation.
Until he opens the last package, which contains not a knife, but an exquisite purple parchment with golden patterns. His spirits lift, "At last, a true fan!"
But as he reads the message, the words twist and change, and the parchment emits a blinding light. Before he can react, a sharp pain in his backside, and everything goes black.
In an unknown part of the universe, a deity ponders their actions, "Was that too harsh?" They consider giving Atticus a small gift as compensation, and a glimmer of light shoots across the cosmos.
...
Atticus awakens in a new world, the Cloud Empire, where he finds himself in the middle of a high society event, completely exposed. His arrival causes chaos, and hes quickly apprehended and thrown into Sector 60 of the Capital Citys prison.
There, he meets his new neighbor, Tom Robinson, who sits silently in his cell, unresponsive to Atticuss attempts at conversation. Despite his own predicament, Atticus is determined to find a way out, and he begins to formulate a plan.
But first, he needs to understand his new environment and the people in it, including the mysterious Tom Robinson.
