Long, long ago, there lived a kind gentle and courteous man called Androcles
But he had a very crule master
In those days kings nobles and other wealthy men used poor people as their slaves
Androcles was a slave
The slaves were forced to work for their
masters
They had to do what their masters told them
They had no freedom no rights
Even when they were unhappy with their master they could not leave him
They were bound by law to obey their master however wicked he might be
Androcles did not like his heartless wicked
master
His master starved his slaves and often
whipped them
Androcles felt to that even death was better than serving such a master
He kept looking out for a good opportunity
At the first chance he got he escaped from
the clutches of his cruel master
Now although Androcles had thus run away he was not a coward
He too shelter in a forest
He was not afraid of the wind beasts that roamed the forest
He did not mind that he had no roof over his head
He was happy that he was free as a bird to go wherever he wished
One day as he was wandering in the forest
he suddenly came face to face with a lion
His first reaction was to run and flee
But then he saw that the lion had not moved on seeing him
It neither growled nor roared In fact it looked at him piteously as if it was in great
Pain
Androcles paused then he moved very
cautiously towards the lion step
The lion moaned and whimpered
Please help me it's eyes seemed to say
When Androcles drew near the lion lowered
It's head and began to lick it's paw
Then Androcles saw that the lion's paw was wounded sore and swollen
On a closer look Androcles noticed that a big thorn had pierced one of the lion's toes
So this is the cause of the lion's distress
thought Androcles
The Glitch in the system
Androcles was a date - scavenger a low -
level human forced to mine digital scraps in the
dangerous Dead zones of the internet
One day while dee-diving into a forbidden
server he encountered a terrifying entity:L.I.O.N.(Lethal Integrated operating
Network)
L.I.O.N.was a legendary security program designed to delete intruders
But it wasn't attacking it was shaking
