The Coronation of a Tech Emperor
The Day the World Changed
Paris — Runcandel Vision HQ
For the first time in history, every major network—from finance to science, from entertainment to intelligence—was broadcasting the same event.
No music.
No flashy introductions.
Just a single line on every screen:
RUNCANDEL × KARASUMA — GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCEMENT
The Stage
The hall was silent.
A circular platform of glass slowly rose from the center.
Then—
Keith Argus Runcandel stepped forward.
Sixteen years old.
Platinum-silver hair.
Sapphire-blue eyes.
No crown.
No arrogance.
Yet the moment he appeared—
The pressure changed.
Executives unconsciously straightened their backs.
Politicians stopped whispering.
Tech CEOs felt something unfamiliar.
Fear.
Keith wore a simple black suit with a silver crest pin over his heart.
He looked straight into the camera.
And spoke.
Keith's Opening Words
"Good evening."
His voice was calm—yet it carried.
"For decades, humanity has relied on machines that respond to buttons."
"Buttons limit thought."
"Buttons limit speed."
"Buttons limit possibility."
A pause.
"Today—those limits end."
The Reveal
Keith raised his hand.
A single device rose from beneath the stage.
No wires.
No supports.
Just floating—held by invisible force.
The camera zoomed in.
A glass smartphone—thin, seamless, flawless.
The back bore one symbol only:
RUNCANDEL CREST
A gasp rippled across the world.
Someone whispered on a hot mic:
"That's… not possible."
Keith caught the phone effortlessly.
The Declaration
"This," Keith said, holding it up,
"is the world's first true smartphone."
"Not a button-based terminal."
"Not a modified pager."
"But a device that responds directly to human intent."
Live Demo — The Impossible Made Real
Keith turned the device on.
No button press.
The screen lit up the moment his fingers touched the glass.
The world froze.
TOUCH SCREEN
Keith slid his finger.
The screen flowed, responding instantly.
No lag.
No delay.
No resistance.
He tapped twice.
Apps unfolded like petals.
"Touch-based interface… instantaneous response?"
"There's no physical input system!"
"How is it detecting pressure?"
Keith smiled slightly.
"This device processes input at a speed faster than the human nervous system."
Gasps.
MULTI-TASKING
Keith dragged three windows at once.
Video.
Documents.
Live global news.
All running simultaneously.
"No overheating."
"No slowdown."
"No crash."
Tech analysts were already pale.
INTERNET — REDEFINED
Keith flicked his wrist.
A full web page loaded instantly.
"No dial-up."
"No waiting tone."
"This phone accesses data wirelessly," Keith said,
"without physical connection."
The world erupted.
The Assistant Reveal
Keith looked at the screen.
"Mini Red."
The device glowed softly.
A small holographic girl appeared—chibi-sized, crimson hair, golden eyes.
She smiled brightly and waved.
"Hello, World! I'm Mini Red!
I'll be your personal assistant!"
Silence.
Then—
Pandemonium.
Mini Red's Capabilities
Mini Red spoke cheerfully:
"I can schedule, calculate, translate, navigate, protect your data, and assist your daily life!"
She snapped her fingers.
• Language translated in real time
• Weather forecast displayed
• Calendar auto-organized
• Security encryption visualized
"I also protect against hacking!" Mini Red added proudly.
Hacking experts watching live went cold.
Keith's Final Words
Keith looked directly into the camera again.
"This device will be released under Runcandel Technology,
in partnership with Karasuma Group."
"No monopolies."
"No artificial shortages."
"Technology exists to elevate humanity."
A pause.
"And this… is only the beginning."
WORLD REACTION — IMMEDIATE
Within minutes:
• Stock markets halted
• Button-phone manufacturers collapsed
• Governments demanded emergency access
• Intelligence agencies declared Code Black
Tech CEOs stared at their screens in silence.
One whispered:
"We're obsolete."
Another said:
"He didn't launch a product…"
"He launched a new era."
The Title Is Spoken
An anchor, voice shaking, finally said it:
"Ladies and gentlemen…
Keith Argus Runcandel has just become
the most powerful technological figure in human history."
On social media, one phrase trended worldwide:
TECH EMPEROR
In France — Quiet Reactions
Ran stared at the screen, eyes wide.
"…That's Keith?"
Sonoko swallowed. "We know him… right?"
Ayako smiled knowingly.
"He was never normal."
Final Scene
Backstage.
Gamma bowed slightly.
Albedo smiled proudly.
Vermouth watched him with softened eyes.
Keith placed the phone down calmly.
Red Queen's voice echoed softly in his mind:
"Congratulations, Master."
"The world is now listening."
Keith looked out at the lights of Paris.
And smiled.
