Korp and the Thinker

Part One

by Orly Castro A.

KORP fights against destiny in search of true glory and, in that battle, wrests two powerful forces from it: Love and freedom. These two forces help him overcome the terrible bullying experience he suffers from time after time, from childhood until he reaches university; this bitter experience has systematically erased his conscience.

Having no conscience, he builds a parallel reality where he exists. In that place, the warrior meets his most – trusted colleague. With his help, KORP creates a powerful empire out of love for the only being he has ever loved in the universe, Kate.

However, once he becomes Emperor, he cannot maintain the glory he has as a king, so once again, another equally lethal force – vanity – ensnares him. This powerful force locks him up for many years in an abyss of confusion, whose consequences are fatal for both him and his empire. Despite his confusion in this abysmal confinement, he continues to strive for governance. Along the way he gets into more trouble, thus creating new enemies and one in particular – Origin – whom he declares war on and considers his worst enemy. KORP is so sure he will defeat Him.

Paradoxically, his worst enemy rescues him from the abyss of vanity. Being free: destiny, freedom, love, and Origin offers him a new opportunity to go further. This time, another force greater than bullying and vanity gets in the middle. It prevents him from going further: his pride is too immense. Is he ever going to defeat it?

Excerpt from Korp and the Thinker

Since childhood, he had been a tenacious person. He had many skills and high expectations in life. Above all, he preferred to avoid being at the bottom or in the last place of anything.

Excerpt from Korp and the Thinker

Physically, he was in good shape because he devoted himself to the gym. His attractive masculine features provided a pleasant camouflage for his darkened soul.

Excerpt from Korp and the Thinker

When he envisioned a goal, he planned it and walked towards it with much patience, step by step, little by little. Until that point, patience was his greatest virtue; with it, he had learned how to tame and control time.

Excerpt from Korp and the Thinker

He had also exploited his knowledge of cybernetics and biology to benefit the arms industry. He realised this industry was like 'the goose which lays golden eggs'.
