Create my version of this story
Chen YiHsin
He is an ordinary office worker and engineer in a Taiwanese company. He is ambitious, introspective, and calculating. One day, he experiences an unexpected epiphany, desiring to rule the world. He ponders how to achieve this goal, considering his limited resources and the constraints of being an ordinary citizen. His thoughts become increasingly consumed by ambition, leading to a change in behavior and a sense of purpose aimed at realizing his dream.
Lai Hua
She is Chen YiHsin's colleague and a talented artist working on security firm freelance projects. She is creative, friendly, and supportive. Her artistic nature often clashes with her previous life as a professional wrestler. She develops a close friendship with Chen YiHsin, sharing her thoughts and experiences with him. Her presence encourages Chen YiHsin's contemplation of his ambitions, contributing to his selfreflection and growth toward his goal of global domination.
Wu XinYi
She is Chen YiHsin's other colleague and a skilled writer working on romance novels. She is witty, bold, and confident. Her onagain, offagain relationship with Chen YiHsin adds humor and tension to their workplace dynamic. Unlike Lai Hua, she does not support Chen YiHsin's ambitions openly. Instead, she provides a contrasting perspective and often teases him about his aspirations, keeping the workplace atmosphere light while also subtly encouraging him to reconsider his dreams.
I am an ordinary office worker, an engineer in a Taiwanese company.
One day, I had an epiphany.
I want to conquer the world.
"I want to conquer the world."
I repeated this sentence again and again in my mind.
It is not a joke.
I am dead serious.
But how can I achieve this goal?
I am just an ordinary office worker, not a politician, not a soldier, not a rich man.
I don't have any resources.
I am just an ordinary citizen in this world.
But I will not give up my dream.
I will find a way to make it happen.
"First, I need to understand the current situation of the world.
Then I need to find the best way to conquer the world."
I started to think about it step by step.
The next day, I went to work as usual.
During lunchtime, I went to the cafeteria and sat alone in the corner.
I didn't want to talk to anyone because I didn't know how they would react if I told them my dream.
I took out my notebook and started to write down my thoughts.
"Conquer the world...
Step 1: Understand current situation of the world...
Step 2: Find best way to conquer the world...
Step 3: ???"
I pulled out my phone and searched for world leaders.
Xi Jinping, Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin - the obvious choices first.
Then I added tech giants like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
Lines and arrows started to connect them, showing alliances and rivalries I'd read about in news articles.
Lai Hua walked by and glanced at my intense scribbling.
I quickly covered the page, but she'd already seen it.
"Planning world domination during lunch break?" she joked.
I forced a laugh, but I couldn't stop drawing the web of power players.
Lai Hua leaned closer, lowering her voice.
"You know, if you really want to shake things up, you should start with the ones no one sees coming."
I looked up, intrigued. "What do you mean?"
She pulled up a chair beside me.
"Look closer at the names you've written. There are others, hiding in plain sight."
Her eyes scanned my page, pointing out names I'd overlooked.
Tech billionaires, media moguls, heads of international organizations.
"Start with them," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
I opened a new page in my notebook and began documenting their backgrounds, connections, and paths to power.
Wu XinYi walked by our table, glancing at my laptop screen.
I quickly minimized the browser, but Lai Hua just shrugged.
"Researching influential people for a project," she said casually.
Wu XinYi raised an eyebrow but continued past.
Turning back to my notebook, I started mapping out the intricate web of relationships between these shadow players.
I realized that to conquer the world, I must first understand the invisible strings that bind it.
During my lunch break, I pulled up financial reports and news articles about the names Lai Hua mentioned.
I created a spreadsheet to track their investments and business ventures.
Certain names kept popping up across different companies.
My eyes widened as I discovered a venture capitalist who sat on the boards of several seemingly unrelated corporations.
He was a silent puppeteer, pulling strings from behind the scenes.
I added more arrows in my notebook, connecting him to media outlets and political think tanks.
When my manager walked by, I quickly switched screens to work documents.
But I continued jotting observations in my notebook, hidden from view.
I stared at my complex network diagrams and spreadsheets.
This was my life now - ordinary, unremarkable, and buried in paperwork.
I glanced around the office, where coworkers typed away, oblivious to my secret research.
A meeting invite popped up on my screen: "Next Quarter's Software Deliverables."
I sighed and joined the virtual call, but my mind wandered back to my notebook.
How could I use this knowledge to change the world?
I tuned out the discussion about sales projections and deadlines.
My manager's voice cut through my thoughts.
"Chen, what are your thoughts on the new software?"
I snapped back to reality, realizing everyone was looking at me.
"Uh, sorry. I was just taking notes."
I quickly typed something into the chat box.
"Great point, Chen," my manager said, moving on to the next topic.
As the meeting ended and everyone filed out, I lingered behind.
Opening my notebook to a fresh page, I wrote "Phase 1: Research and Planning."
Underneath it, I added: "Build financial foundation - research investment strategies."
I opened my phone and checked my bank account balance: 500,000 NT.
Lai Hua returned, noticing my contemplative expression.
"Thinking of making a move?" she asked, her voice laced with curiosity.
I nodded, feeling the weight of my decision. "Yeah, but I need to be smart about it."
She smiled knowingly.
"Start with what you know. Look for opportunities that align with your strengths."
I pulled up my investment app and began searching for tech startups.
My eyes landed on a company developing AI-powered predictive algorithms.
I opened a new spreadsheet and started comparing their financials and growth projections to other similar startups.
A few names stood out, but I needed to dig deeper.
I calculated potential returns and risks, considering market trends and competition.
By the end of lunch, I had narrowed it down to three promising candidates.
Lai Hua stopped by my desk on her way out.
"What are you up to?"
She glanced at my screen, pointing to one of the startups.
"I've heard of them. They were presenting at a security conference last month."
I double-checked their financials and leadership team.
I browsed through the conference website during my lunch break.
They had panel discussions on AI security and networking events with industry leaders.
After checking my calendar and budget, I decided to register for the two-day conference.
I used my personal credit card, not wanting to draw company attention.
As I filled out the registration form, Lai Hua noticed.
She slid over to my desk, mentioning she attended last year.
"Focus on the AI panels," she advised, pointing out key sessions and speakers to track.
I created a new spreadsheet, listing target companies and their representatives.
I mapped out which booths to visit and panels to attend.
When Wu XinYi walked by, asking about my weekend plans, I said it was a professional development event.
I closed my notebook, feeling the first stirrings of a plan taking shape.
