The Birth of an Entertainment Empire
Date: July 13, 2009
Time: 6:00 AM
Location: Aritra's Private Residence, Jadavpur, Kolkata
The golden morning light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Aritra's study, casting long shadows over the polished wooden desk. The faint sound of birds chirping mixed with the rhythmic sound of waves from Dakhuria Lake, creating an atmosphere of complete tranquility.
Aritra sat in his ergonomic chair, a steaming cup of hand-brewed Darjeeling tea resting beside his laptop. His house, now fully transformed, ran like a perfectly calibrated machine, operating without any need for human interference.
His three AI butlers—LUMEN, NYX, and EMBER—moved seamlessly through the house, attending to their designated tasks. LUMEN, the primary butler, adjusted the room's temperature based on real-time weather data, while EMBER finalized daily logistics and financial reports. NYX, the security AI, remained in passive surveillance mode, ensuring zero unauthorized movement inside or outside the property.
"Sir, your tea is prepared to the exact temperature preference of 85°C with a hint of cardamom, as per your regular morning routine," LUMEN announced, placing a fresh cup on the marble-topped side table.
Aritra took a sip, inhaling deeply. Perfect.
From his balcony, he could see the lake shimmering under the early morning sun, the streets of Jadavpur already bustling with life. The world outside had no idea that the most powerful AI-driven empire was being quietly built inside this very home.
His gaze shifted to his laptop screen, the Legendary System Mall interface glowing softly. It was time.
Activating the Final Upgrade: The Transformation of the House
Navigating through the system's Property Enhancement tab, Aritra revisited an option he had previously ignored—Private Base Transformation.
Now, it was necessary.
He tapped the purchase button.
A notification flashed across the screen.
[Processing Transaction…][Upgrade Confirmed: Initiating Transformation]
A sudden low-frequency hum filled the house.
For a brief moment, the air itself seemed to shift, a feeling almost imperceptible to anyone without heightened awareness. The walls vibrated faintly, recalibrating their molecular structure to integrate self-repairing nanotechnology. The floor beneath his feet subtly adjusted, improving shock absorption and temperature control.
The house was changing—becoming something else entirely.

The moment the final system integration completed, his Legendary System interface refreshed, revealing an option he had never seen before.
His eyes narrowed.
[SUPER AI + SUPERCOMPUTER – HORSE]Price: $100,000,000
Aritra clicked.
The lights flickered for exactly 0.5 seconds, then stabilized. A deep mechanical chime echoed through the house, and a new voice—calm, powerful, and eerily advanced—filled the study.
"Welcome, Master. I am HORSE, your integrated Super AI. What would you like to create?"
Aritra leaned forward, placing his half-finished cup of tea down. His mind raced with possibilities.
If he wanted OmniLink to dominate, he needed more than just social media and communication tools. He needed something that could control audience engagement on a massive scale.
Entertainment.
The global audience was hooked on content—from anime to gaming, from movies to interactive experiences. If he could create the best, AI-generated 3D animation, fully autonomous game development, and cinematic-quality storytelling, then every major entertainment company in the world would become obsolete.
His fingers hovered over the command input field.
He typed:
"Begin AI-generated content production: Full-scale 3D animated series, AAA game development, and interactive digital storytelling."
The AI's processing speed was instantaneous.
"Processing request… Estimated timeline: Four weeks per fully rendered season. Shall I begin?"
Aritra smirked, tapping a few keys.
"Base the productions on Indian mythology, cyberpunk futurism, and alternative historical fantasy. Global appeal. High-end storytelling. Completely AI-generated."
"Acknowledged. Beginning framework development. Would you like to review preliminary concepts?"
Aritra exhaled, his eyes scanning the holographic projections of potential series concepts.

As HORSE began compiling assets, designing characters, and rendering fully AI-generated media, Aritra stood by the balcony, gazing at the lake.
The world had no idea what was coming.
He had just rewritten the rules of content creation.
And this was only the beginning.
