Digimon Rise and Fall: Chapter 4: Ignorance_(0)

Apocalymon felt himself getting stronger. Already half of the digidestined had been corrupted. He felt the weight of his living hell lifting from his shoulders. Soon he would be free and soon he would have his revenge. He felt power course through his veins and a wicked smile appeared on his face. He used his powers to view the digidestined in the human world. He could reach them if he focused allowing him to unleash the hidden darkness that lied in their hearts. Who should he torment next? His eyes went to a bushy haired boy sitting at his computer looking bored. Apocalymon smiled widely at the perfect victim.

Life after the digital world has been mostly good to Izzy. He breezed through high school with minimal effort. He went onto study at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and graduated at the top of his class. He developed an app that could detect the best wifi hot spots in any area. He had all the tools for a successful life and was clearly destined for greatness. So why was he here? Izzy sat at his desk in the tech support department. He was smart enough to run the company and yet he was stuck there. His app had less then 100 downloads so he had no choice but to seek other employment. He sat rolling his eyes as he dealt with yet another hopeless customer. He had been trying to help them for over an hour and was running out of options.

“Ok mam you need to check and make sure that your power cable is intact.”

“Um which one is that?”

“That’s the one that leads to the outlet.”

Izzy sighed and stared at the ceiling. Why was he forced to take orders from those inferior to him?

“Yeah the cord is fine.”

“Ok then the only thing left to do is check and see your power system is functioning.”

“Well I don’t know if it will be we haven’t had power for the last two hours.”

Izzy slammed the phone down as hard as he could. He couldn’t believe the ignorance and stupidity of people. Over an hour of his life wasted and now he would have to explain to his actions to his supervisor. Why did he have to pay for the mistakes of others? He stared blankly at his computer screen. This job was a living hell that drained his soul of it’s life everyday. However both his life expenses and his student loan payments were beginning to stack up. He went to university to get ahead of the world but it set him back farther then anyone. Izzy stared into his computer slowly dissolving into nothingness.

The unmistakable sound of a woman moaning bought Izzy back to the world. The sound came from the cubical next to him. He stood up and saw a group of men standing around a computer. On the screen a drunk woman no older then 18 began taking off her top and moaned softly. Izzy couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“Are you guys watching porn over there?”

The owner of the cubical turned to him with a look of disgust on his face.

“Dude it’s not porn it’s teens going sluty.”

Izzy shrugged his shoulders. Another employee’s eyes widened.

“You haven’t heard of teens going sluty? It’s only the one of the biggest DVD series of the new millennium. Chad Fields films these drunk girls all over the world and gets them to flash and do sluty things for the camera.”

“And people buy this?”

“It has sold over 50 millions copies around the world. Chad owns his island.”

Izzy’s jaw dropped. Over 50 million copies and his own island? All he did was get a few girls to show their breasts and he becomes rich. Here Izzy was with a university degree and doing his best to better the world and yet he was almost broke. It wasn’t right it wasn’t fair. Red hot rage flowed through his body. His coworkers stared at him with worry.

“Hey man are you ok?”

“No I’m going home tell the boss I’m not feeling well.”

Izzy didn’t wait for a reply. He stormed out of the building as fast as he could. The subway was only a couple of blocks away but he made no effort to go there. He didn’t want to go home and he had no destination in mind. He walked around the city a solitary figure in a cruel world. He walked past a group of teenagers farting on passers by and laughing themselves silly. Izzy shook his head worrying about the future of the world. Is ignorance truly bliss or was it a passing phase? Izzy saw a large group of people gathered around a television shop.
