0.001% : Influence Before AwarenessBy Shairil Hossain TusherPower does not begin with force.It begins before awareness.0.001% : Influence Before Awareness is a philosophical fiction exploring how influence, choice, and consciousness are shaped long before individuals believe they are choosing freely.Rather than presenting hidden rulers or overt conspiracies, this book examines something quieter and more pervasive: systems that no longer require control because they function beneath perception. Influence does not command. It conditions.The narrative opens inside the familiar Capitalistic Matrix, where power is embedded in incentives, routines, ambition, and normalized scarcity. Here, influence remains unseen because it feels natural.It then moves into the emerging AI Matrix, an adaptive environment where systems anticipate behavior, guidance precedes intention, and learning accelerates faster than reflection.Finally, the book approaches a Quantum Matrix, where identity, causality, and certainty dissolve into probability, observation, and interaction. Influence no longer flows from a single sourceit emerges everywhere at once.Written in a calm, reflective, and minimalist philosophical voice, this book does not instruct, persuade, or warn. It observes. It invites readers to notice how awareness often arrives after decisions, behaviors, and beliefs are already in motion.This book is for readers who question systems without seeking enemies, recognize patterns before explanations, and understand that the most effective power is the one that remains unnoticed.0.001% : Influence Before Awareness offers no conclusions.It sharpens perception.This is not a book meant to be consumed quickly.It is meant to linger.

The story follows the burgeoning pop group Pure Image, composed of five young women, as they navigate the exhilarating yet perilous journey of their first year in the music industry. Their initial success is quickly undermined by a cascade of internal and external conflicts. These include escalating drug use among members, intense rivalries fueled by jealousy, entangled romantic relationships that cause friction, and the onset or exacerbation of mental health issues.

Third volume of the epic fantasy saga inspired by Eastern mythologies, where gods, dragons, and legendary creatures battle for the fate of worlds in peril. When you chose mortality, when you chose to be like them, with that new body, you embraced all the baggage, the burden, that comes with it. You embraced the weakness, the earthly emotions, the pains, and the joys. Mortal beings live differently from us divinities; we could never truly understand them, but you can now. This is what you chose to be, and it will be your happiness, as well as your condemnation. I dont envy you, brother; what I read on his face now is perhaps the only thing that can frighten me.

So, our Lost God must carefully consider his future moves and choose his allies carefully.

Haen-gul: "Sorry if my death might slow you down, Gungsang. Ill try to die without bothering you." Hyun-gu: "Do you want to die by my hand?" he asked angrily. "Fine. Then Ill do it with my own hands. The hands of a friend who has never stopped believing in you and in our friendship." He clenched his fists, raising his voice again. "The hands of Jung Hyun-gu, not the samjokgu you now insist on only wanting to see. And so you will go by the hand of a friend. I wont give you the satisfaction of being killed by a samjokgu, however you want to look at it." After their confrontation with the fearsome King of the Gumiho, Ryeong-ho, the company led by Gungsang takes refuge in an ancient temple, where the atavistic bond between the gumiho and the samjokgu Hyun-gu is tested by a cruel seal and an inexorable deadline: one hundred days to redeem himself, or die.While Ryeong-ho resists food and words, consumed by a past he refuses to reveal, Hyun-gu struggles between duty and friendship, knowing that any choice he makes could forever tear the soul of the creature he once called brother.Around them, the members of the company intertwine in a delicate balance: Daeng, poisoned by mangosa, desperately searches for a lost memory; Jamira keeps watch in the shadows; Kang faces the burden of being a construct, while Haen-gul hides an unexpected loyalty beneath a mask of indifference.As time passes inexorably, Gungsang, in his attempt to save Ryeong-ho and Daeng, will face numerous dangers and obstacles, and fears he never knew he could experience. - Can you judge a demon without knowing the hell that created him? -
