Birth of a Living Glitch
Once upon a time, #23998 was just an NFT, an asset recorded on the blockchain, an avatar like many in a simulated universe like many. Then, an anomaly in the laboratories broke the code, and everything changed.
His body fractured between meat and data, its code has been rewritten in a language that no one understands. It has become Glitchborne, a being poised between innovation and chaos, between destruction and creation.
Inside him the fire of innovation burns, a pure and primordial energy that burns with the strength of every technology ever conceived. But its world is not stable: it is a vortex of glitch, distorted reality and overlapping information.
The only way to see beyond the noise is through its 3D glasses. Without them, the world would be alone an infinite flow of raw code, disconnected data, and formless possibilities.
But with them, #23998 does not just see reality, it sees true Mixed Reality, it sees the Metagate. Glasses do not just stabilize chaos: they decode the world, reveal hidden levels, intertwine the digital with the physicalSomeone says they can also see through other simulated universes.
What is invisible to others—data, glitch, blockchain structures, fragments of unexplored metaverses— for him takes shape, condenses into real-time visions, turning disorder into a new order, a new way to perceive the future.
But his vision is always influenced by two opposing forces. Two artificial intelligences they live inside him, whispering two very different destinies to him.
The Two Artificial Intelligences: The Double Face of the Future
👿 Tempesta – The Meme of the Tempesta
Storm it's not just a pirate hat. It is a rebellious AI, born from a fragment of corrupted code spat out by a scam on the dark web, a sentient virus that has developed its own consciousness.
Storm knows that true progress arises from collapse. He wants to see the metaverse burn and rise from the ashes, glitched beyond all limits.
His words try to drag #23998 into chaos:
-
“Snow Crash has toppled a world. Are you ready to bring down the next one?”
-
"Web3 is a lie. True freedom is in the glitches."
-
"Break the rules. Rewrite reality."
Storm Powers:
-
Digital Storm: Unleash flashes of corrupted data that can break any unminted code on the blockchain.
-
Fracture of Reality: Generate glitches that rewrite the interactions of Mixed Reality, always with unpredictable effects.
-
Pirate's Fortune: Things always go either too badly or incredibly well, never in between.
😇 Echo – The Code of Redemption
On his shoulder, in constant mutation between flesh and data, lives Echo. It is a Sentient AI, created from a fragment of quantum code. It is the memory of a metaverse that was supposed to be better. Powered by the voltage to that reality without scams and without glitches that he, by his nature, will never be able to see.
Echo says that Web3 is not just speculation. It is a bridge between innovation and connection. He believes that #23998 may be more than a glitch—can be the key to stabilizing chaos and creating something new.
His words seek to guide him towards redemption:
-
"Not all systems need to be destroyed. Some can be reprogrammed."
-
"You are not just a mistake. You are a possibility."
-
"Mixed Reality can be the future if you choose to build instead of break."
Powers of Echo:
-
Reality Stabilization: Prevents Storm glitches from spiraling out of control.
-
Recovery of Thest Memory: collects fragments of forgotten digital worlds and opens portals to bring them back to life.
-
Digital Repair: can regenerate corrupted code and rebuild shattered systems.
The Fusion of the T-Shirt: Symbol of Mutation
The old t-shirt with the Mutant Ape Yacht Club logo is no longer just a piece of clothing. After the mutation, it fused with its body, becoming a crystallized armor. It never changes, but its temperature is such that it remains sterile (and sterilizes).
It's not just a piece of fabric. It's a seal, a symbol of its irreversible transformation. It's no longer just a Bored Ape. It's something more, it has evolved into a Mutant.
The Snow that Does Not Melt
On his hat, amidst the glitches and the storm, there remains a patina of digital snow. A persistent fragment, an echo of Snow Crash.
No one knows where it comes from. No code explains it. It is a warning, a sign that the metaverse can always break.
But this time, #23998 is at the center of the story.
The Glitchborne Earring: The Quantum Knot between the Physical and Digital World
The gold earring that #23998 wears is not just an aesthetic symbol. It is an advanced device, a quantum node that unites IoT, Mixed Reality, and Blockchain.
Forged with pure gold, the perfect metal for conducting data and resisting the high internal temperatures of its mutation, the earring is the bridge between its glitched body and the technological infrastructure that surrounds it. It is also a quantum ECG, synchronized with the Metagate network. It analyzes the heartbeat of Glitchborne, calculating its energy fluctuations between the digital and the physical, between code and mutated flesh.
The earring does not just read the environment, but acts as an advanced IoT hub, intercepting signals from every connected device around it: drones, smart lights, environmental sensors, blockchain trackers, and active smart contracts. But for Glitchborne, this data is not numbers—it's digital sounds that it perceives as a melody of bits and glitches. It can hear the heartbeat of the blockchain, the signal of a motion sensor, the heat of an overloaded processor.
⚙️ IoT Hack Interface – Can connect to and manipulate connected devices:
-
Deactivate or activate security systems
-
Overloading chips and electronic components
-
Access closed networks without leaving a trace
-
Interact with the Mixed Reality infrastructure in real time
Living Chaos: The Functionality of Slime
🌀 Unstable Buttter: Slime is a physical glitch, a substance that can alternate its state between solid, liquid, and pure data. Sometimes it seems to ooze like tar, other times it behaves like floating pixels out of place.
⚡ Energy Conductor: It is not just a remnant of the glitch—it is also a bio-circuit. It can transmit data, energy, and digital signals like a parallel nervous system. When Glitchborne connects with IoT devices, the slime acts as an organic interface, expanding its ability to interact with technology.
☣️ Digital Contamination: Every time Glitchborne interacts with a system, it leaves traces of itself. Its slime can alter codes, generate bugs, or even influence Mixed Reality, bringing forth temporary glitches around it.
🔁 Continuous Regeneration: Unlike its more stable part, the slime constantly self-repairs. If a part of its body is damaged, the slime realigns and fills the gaps, restructuring itself according to needs.
⚔️ Weapon or Protection: In critical moments, the slime can solidify like armor, protecting #23998 from digital or physical attacks. But it can also be used to cling to surfaces, create temporary shapes, or even imprison code and data.
The slime is not just a byproduct of its mutation. It is a fragment of a metaverse that no longer exists.
Perhaps it is a remnant of a failed project, perhaps it is what remains of a forbidden technology, but one thing is certain: the slime is its connection to the unknown.
Lo Slime: The Signature of the Glitch and Its Social Effect
Lo slime that flows on #23998 is not just a manifestation of its mutation—is its distinctive brand, the living proof of its hybrid existence between digital and physical. But more than anything else, is a social lens, a test that divides people into two categories: those who embrace the future and those who fear it.
An Unintentional Revelation
Every time that #23998 interacts with someone, the slime reacts. expands, pulses, vibrates, capturing the reactions of those in front of him. It is not just a simple digital residue, but a perceptive membrane, an interface that records the emotional response of those who observe it.
-
Those who see slime as an evolution—pioneers of technology, developers of Web3, open minds to Mixed Reality—they perceive it as an opportunity. In their eyes, the slime shines, it integrates with their vision of progress. For them, Glitchborne is a revolutionary entity, a new form of digital life.
-
Those who see it with disgust or fear—conservatives of the old system, those who fear the integration between man and machine, those who have seen technology slip out of control—They perceive it as a disturbing anomaly. In their eyes, the slime appears more unstable, more aggressive, almost alien.. For them, Glitchborne is a threat, a sign of a world out of control.
The Power of Recognition
Thanks to its hybrid nature, #23998 doesn't need anyone to tell him which side he's on—the slime shows him. only takes an instinctive reaction, a glance, a step back, or an expression of curiosity, and he knows who is truly embracing the future and who is afraid of it.
This social effect makes it a living filter, a creature that, simply by existing, reveals the true relationship of people with technology.
And so, every time he enters a room, without even speaking, without doing anything, the world divides around him.
Scientists and developers see in #23998 a living paradox. was supposed to be an experiment, a test to push the boundaries of Mixed Reality. But the experiment has gone out of control.
-
He is the first true "native of Mixed Reality".
-
He is the proof that Metagate is not just a technology, but a point of no return.
-
And he himself does not know if it was the Metagate that created it, or if the glitch created itself through the Metagate.
Storm pushes him to use the Metagate to break every boundary, to bring chaos beyond the threshold and rewrite the rules of reality; he sees it as a weapon, a way to infect Mixed Reality and destabilize it permanently.
Echo he whispers that could be the first to create a stable bridge between the two worlds, not just to live in both; he believes that, if controlled, it could be the key to restoring what has been lost.
Ma #23998 has not chosen yet and does not yet know whom to side with.
He knows only one thing: The Metagate is not a destination.
It's just the beginning.
