A strange virus has penetrated the earth and was spreading. No one knew what it was or what the cure was.

Officials have been looking all over for the right candidate to give some answers to this madness. Sad to say that among TikTokers and the OnlyFans generation, they failed to find anything close to that. They failed to even begin questioning their ability as «they/them» keep getting offended with every single question they were asked. They stopped asking women altogether as they keep saying, «We're independent and don't need no man,» even though nobody was asking that. Every diploma was just a bought paper. The majority failed to answer 2+2x2.

But with the last of a hope, however, they did find a perfect candidate who knew how to create life-saving vaccines. He was a retired 75-year-old scientist. The last chance humanity will ever have.

With every chance he got, he promised that he had found a cure, a vaccine with H2O, a capsule with sugar powder, a pill that was a Mentos candy.

That man was a troll...

The world needed a hero. An embassy, under siege. Hostages at risk. The pressure was on.

“We need the best,” the general barked. “Someone who can handle this.”

They looked at his file: Top scores in all combat situations. Unmatched tactical awareness. He’d broken every record. “The Shepherd,” they called him.

He was cocky, sure. Talked a big game. But the numbers didn’t lie. He’d aced every difficult task. They’d asked him, “Are you ready soldier?”

He’d smirked. “Born ready.”

The news cameras rolled as he approached the embassy. The Shepherd, our savior. He walked with confidence, a seasoned warrior.

He took a step.

A trip.

A gun shot.

He died.

They later found out, that The Shepherd spent his life in his basement mastering virtual reality games and shooting his digital gun.
