Chapter 1
The Milky Way stretched out before Emeka, a vast expanse of twinkling stars and swirling galaxies. Lost in the wonder of the cosmos, he floated serenely through the virtual universe, his senses tingling with exhilaration.
Suddenly, a familiar figure materialized beside him, causing Emeka's heart to leap with joy. "Akin!" he exclaimed, turning to greet his friend with a wide grin. "What brings you here?"
Akin returned Emeka's smile, his presence exuding warmth and reassurance. "I thought I'd pay you a visit," he replied casually, as if dropping by for a cup of tea.
"After all, it's been a while since we last caught up."
Emeka's eyes sparkled with gratitude as he remembered Akin's generosity in allowing him to stay at one of his lavish mansions in Victoria Island. "Thank you again for letting me stay," he said earnestly, his voice tinged with appreciation. "I can't tell you how much it means to me."
Akin waved off Emeka's thanks with a dismissive gesture. "Think nothing of it, my friend," he said with a smile. "I always look after those I care about."
However, the jovial tone in Akin's voice belied the seriousness of his next words.
"Actually, there's something important I need to tell you," he began, his expression growing more solemn.
Emeka's curiosity piqued as he turned to face Akin, his heart pounding with anticipation. "What is it?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern.
Taking a deep breath, Akin met Emeka's gaze with unwavering resolve. "I underwent the procedure," he explained, his words hanging in the air like a weighty revelation. "I'm now a digital human. My physical body is no more."
Emeka's eyes widened in disbelief as he absorbed Akin's words,
a surge of emotion welling up inside him. "You mean... you're digital now?" he asked, his voice trembling with excitement. “You have to let me do it. I want to become digital. Please I do not want to be trapped in a paralyzed body anymore. I want to soar the stars permanently in a digital body.” Emeka looked seriously at Akin and said: “You made me a promise once..”
Akin nodded solemnly, his eyes shimmering with pride. "Yes, Emeka," he replied, his voice tinged with emotion. "I will make good on my promise. I just needed to do the transformation myself. But now I'm here to help you do the same."
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Emeka reached out to Akin, his heart overflowing with joy. "Thank you, Akin," he said, his voice choked with emotion. "I can't wait to leave this broken body behind and join you among the stars as a digital human."
Chapter 2
Emeka looked at the sleek, sterile laboratory, his heart pounding with anticipation as Keke, the brilliant scientist and Akin's son, was hovering on display nearby.
"Are you ready for this, Emeka?" Keke asked, his voice laced with concern as he regarded Emeka with a mixture of admiration and empathy.
Emeka nodded resolutely, his determination shining through. "I've been waiting for this moment my entire life," he replied, his voice tinged with excitement. Keke smiled warmly, a sense of pride evident in his expression. "Well then, let's get started," he said.
Keke explained the procedure in detail, his words echoing in the vast expanse of the laboratory. "We'll begin by inducing a controlled coma in your physical body," he began, his voice calm and reassuring. "While you're in the virtual world, we'll mirror your brain activity with a digital brain, gradually shutting down parts of your physical brain until only the vital components remain."
Emeka listened intently, his mind racing with anticipation as Keke continued to outline the steps of the transformation process. "Once we've ensured that your digital mind and body is stable, we'll proceed to shut down your physical brain and body completely,"
Keke explained, his tone matter-of-fact yet tinged with a sense of reverence. "And then, Emeka, you'll be a digital human."
A sense of awe washed over Emeka as he processed Keke's words, the enormity of the moment sinking in. "I'll be the third person to undergo this transformation," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.
Keke nodded solemnly, his gaze meeting Emeka's with unwavering resolve. "Yes, Emeka," he replied, his voice tinged with pride. "You'll join the ranks of Zauna and Akin, embarking on a journey that few have dared to imagine."
With a sense of determination coursing through his veins, Emeka braced himself for the transformation that lay ahead, his heart filled with hope and excitement for the boundless possibilities that awaited him in the digital realm.
Chapter 3
Emeka stood in the virtual world, studying the intricate details of a digital model of a distant planet, his mind fully engrossed in the task at hand. Suddenly, Akin appeared beside him, followed by Keke and Zauna, their virtual forms shimmering with a sense of pride and excitement.
"Congratulations, Emeka," Akin said, his voice filled with warmth as he reached out to clasp Emeka's shoulder. "You're now a digital human."
Emeka blinked in surprise, his gaze darting between Akin, Keke, and Zauna. "I am?" he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.
"But I don't feel any different. I just kept on studying planets like I always do."
Akin chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "That's because the transition was seamless, Emeka," he explained, his voice gentle yet reassuring. "You're now a part of this digital world, just like the rest of us."
Emeka nodded slowly, a sense of wonder washing over him as he realized the magnitude of what had just occurred. "I guess I didn't even notice how long it’s been since I logged out," he mused, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.
Akin grinned, his expression filled with affection. "That's because you're permanently logged in now, Emeka," he joked, his tone light yet tinged with a sense of awe. "Welcome to digital life, my friend. Forever."
As the realization sank in, Emeka felt a surge of excitement and gratitude wash over him, his heart swelling with pride at the thought of joining the ranks of Zauna and Akin as the third digital human in history. "Thank you," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I'm honored to be a part of this incredible journey."
With smiles of congratulations and camaraderie, Akin, Keke, and Zauna welcomed Emeka into their
ranks, their virtual forms glowing with pride as they embarked on a new chapter of their digital odyssey together.
Chapter 4
Years later, Emeka found himself immersed in the study of the stars, his virtual form navigating the vast expanse of space with a sense of purpose and wonder. Amidst the celestial wonders that surrounded him, he remained blissfully oblivious to the politics and struggles of Earth.
While Zauna fought tirelessly for the rights of digital humans and Dayo championed their cause through propaganda and charm, Emeka's focus remained unwavering. He had long since transcended the earthly realm, his soul intertwined with the infinite mysteries of the cosmos.
Lost in the brilliance of distant galaxies and the dance of celestial bodies, Emeka lived out his dream with unparalleled dedication and fervor. For him, the stars held the key to his existence, offering a sanctuary where he could roam freely and explore the wonders of the universe.
It was amidst this cosmic symphony that Akin appeared, his digital form radiant with excitement as he delivered news of a groundbreaking discovery. As Akin spoke of Keke's advancements in quantum computing and the prospect of space travel for digital humans, Emeka's heart swelled with anticipation.
Akin smiled warmly at Emeka, his eyes shining with a mixture of admiration and gratitude. "It means that the promise I made to you all those years ago is finally being fulfilled," he said, his voice tinged with emotion. "I promised you that I would help you achieve your dream of becoming an astronaut, and now that day has arrived."
Emeka's breath caught in his throat at Akin's words, his heart swelling with a sense of disbelief and elation. "You mean... I have the opportunity to become the first digital human astronaut?" he asked, his voice trembling with excitement.
Akin nodded, his smile widening as he reached out to clasp Emeka's shoulder. "Yes, Emeka," he said, his voice ringing with conviction. "You have the chance to make history and embark on a journey beyond the stars aboard the spaceship Hope For Humanity."
Emeka's mind raced with the possibilities that lay ahead, his spirit soaring with the realization that his lifelong dream was finally within reach. With a sense of determination and purpose coursing through his veins, he nodded resolutely at Akin's words. "I'm ready," he said, his voice filled with resolve. "I'm ready to become the first digital human astronaut."
