My Life As An Internet Novels & Stories

"Are you sure about this? Once you go public, there is no going back. No privacy. No normal life. Ever." "I was never going to have a normal life. Not after what I did. Not after what I am." Hope's fingers moved across the screen. Coding. Hacking. Accessing systems that should have been impossible for a nine-year-old to breach. "But maybe I can have a useful life. Maybe I can be the face of this. The reminder of what happens when we let monsters program children. Maybe that is my purpose." She was ready in eight minutes. The camera activated. Her face appeared on screens worldwide. Major news networks picked up the feed within seconds. Social media exploded.

When the judge asked him why he had killed me, he replied coldly, "Because Zachary was too brilliant. I was worried that he'd take the director's position once my mom retired." I sighed. From the moment I began studying medicine, all I ever wanted was to fulfill Mom's dream—to save lives. I never cared about the director's title. And besides, with how much she pampered Sean, there was no way she'd choose me over him. Watching the ones who hurt me fall, one by one, I finally felt free. I knew it was time for me to return to where I truly belonged. The sun was especially bright today, and I felt just as warm. This life had been full of hardship—now, I could only hope the next one would be gent

My eyes instinctively darted to my mother, who was calmly sipping her tea. “A reclusive heiress,” I repeated, glancing at my mother. “I grew up detasseling corn.” “Hey, let them dream.” Then, Sienna's voice dropped, turning softer: “But are you actually okay with all of this?” “I’m surviving. I mean it’s a secret that’s bound to reveal itself someday.” I whispered, but my heart was suddenly hammering against my ribs. The internet was treating it like a joke but that didn’t stop a cold sweat from breaking out across my palms: They were dangerously close.

William's POV Since graduation, I had made a choice that many found hard to understand—I turned down my family's offer to return and inherit the family business. I didn't need it. I had something far more compelling: the world of internet technology. I wanted to build a smarter, more efficient world, where everyone could experience convenience and possibility like never before. It wasn't an easy road. There were long nights and sleepless days, but slowly, my efforts started paying off. Now, I run a publicly listed company, and my life revolves around an endless whirlwind of meetings and business trips.

“Iconic. You’re going to become famous for refusing to be interesting.” “That’s literally my goal,” I said, and she laughed, and for a minute the noise didn’t feel like it could reach me. By evening, I made a rule for myself: no scrolling. No searching my name. No checking trends. The internet had turned into a room full of people talking about me while I stood outside the door listening with my face pressed to the wood. It didn’t matter if the comments were kind or cruel, either way, they weren’t mine to carry.

“I'm so sorry for having to end it here! I love you all and it was so nice talking to every one of you! Thanks for joining me, everyone. You guys were the best. I'll see you all later!" As soon as I ended the stream, my fingers flew across my keyboard. I typed my name into G****e and hit enter. My eyes widened as I scrolled through the results. There were articles, photos, and videos featuring me. I gasped, my mind reeling with the realization that I had become an internet sensation. It wasn't just Alaina anymore. My legs started to tap rhythmically from the anxiety and I stood up, prancing the room with the laptop in my hands. People knew me!

Unexpectedly, there was a VIP on MicroBlog write that it was me who locked Gina and Jeremy in Aristocratic Family Complex and beat them to the verge of death, though they had been already poor. It said they were even sent to prison by me in the end. I knew it a long time ago. The netizens did not want to see the truth at all. They only wanted to know the result that they wanted to know. By that time, my name on the Internet was absolutely blackened. I tried not to read the comments. In order to avoid it and to make myself get through it, I decided to live in the studio, except for sleeping and eating, I only did my work.

Claire said helplessly, “Mom, you don’t lack food, drink, clothes, or a place to stay. You don’t lack anything at all, so why are you learning from others to start a live broadcast?” Elaine had a resentful expression as she said, “You’re saying that I don’t lack anything at all? Why don’t you say that about the celebrities and internet celebrities who are still broadcasting live every day? Look at those internet celebrities who earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year. They are still broadcasting live three-hundred-and-sixty-five days a year! There are also those celebrities who are usually busy filming, singing, and appearing on variety shows, but they are still going on the internet to

I was almost tempted to accept his offer of help but Nathaniel was ready helping me with that. Not to add, the files I had seen about Nathaniel and Maurene, there was more to it and I was scared that I would join the list if I was not being careful enough. If he could control person's life through the internet, I will not be safe as well. In fact, there were lots of things about me that should not get to the internet. I will be ruined.

He does not interrupt. So I keep going. “My life is everywhere right now,” I say, my voice sharper than I expect. “My face. My name. Things that actually matter to me.” I gesture toward nothing in particular. “That land meant something to me. It was supposed to be mine. And now it’s just… something people are analyzing online.” I let out a small breath that feels heavier than it should. “So tell me what this is,” I say, quieter now. “Because I’m starting to look ridiculous.”
