Midnight Learner

EARLY ACCESS!!!

In the year 2147, coding was a crime.

After the Code Collapse of 2091, when rogue programmers nearly crashed the world’s infrastructure—the police banned all manual programming. Only government-AI could write code. Humans weren’t trusted with it anymore.

Sixteen-year-old Troy Fenn lived in Detroid, a clean, compliant city where software came pre-approved and assembled by goverment. Troy never questioned the rules—until the day he found the book.

It was tucked behind a false panel in the school library’s oldest side. Dusty, heavy, real. No digital tag, no AI signature. The title, etched in faded gold:

“C++ Problems.”

Troy should’ve reported it. He didn’t.

That night, with shaking hands, he turned the first page. It began simply with some  lines of code

He whispered the words aloud like a spell. He didn’t know what it meant—but something inside him stirred.

But the system noticed.

Every screen in the city was watched. Every keyboard tracked. His unauthorized signals were picked up by a police patrol.

He knew this was risky but with fear in mind, he began programing.

Now he has to hide from the cops, pretend to sleep while also programing.
