That world is full of...
breaking secrets.
You live on...
betraying people.
You buy everything with...
your popularity rank.
If you're not popular...
you don't get as much.
Aya...
isn't popular.
But this is the world of trust, betrayal, and danger...
so Aya can be a kicker.
A kicker...
is when you kick stories to make your face rank higher.
And Aya...
has the best story yet.
She has found the legendary Sly Girl group...
and become part of it.
Sly Girl is fantasy..
everyone says.
Sly Girls aren't real...
they say.
But they are.

So now, Aya is going to kick some story.
She has to gain their trust, at first...
so she does what Sly Girls do...
they risk their lives.
But the story changes all at once...
and Aya realizes that if she kicks this story, she might even be in the top 1000...
and be in Nana Love's Top 1000 party..
everyone wants to go there...
because only the top 1000 people go to Nana Love's Top 1000 party...
where Nana herself is the second popular person.

And Aya, the low rank of 451,369...
isn't ready for the dangerous world of popularity.

So what is that thing that changes the story at once?
Aliens.

No, really. They're there. They're humans...
sort of.
Long body, long arms, long hands...
fingers with too much joints,
flying with hovergear,
and eyes too big, too wide apart...
hidden in a mountain.
Putting some explosive-looking gear into the mountain.
And Aya must, MUST kick this story...
without the Sly Girls knowing.

But the Sly Girls are called sly for a reason...
they decide to let her kick the story...
after they are long gone.

With Aya's hovercam...
she kicks the story. In a few minutes...
she's the seventeenth most famous person.

How? When a more popular person kicks your story, as in comments...
other people look at it, too.
Your popularity rank highers when more people look at your stories...
and when Aya organizes her comments by face rank where most famous goes on top...
she sees Nana Love's comment...
but there's one more.
on top..
Tally Youngblood.

Tally comes and takes her...
and Hiro, her brother, and Ren, Hiro's friend, and Frizz, her boyfriend (sort of)...
and takes them away,
because the alien people are chasing after her...
with needle fingernails... and (maybe) a deathly purpose.

She narrowly escapes the alien people...
and continues the journey to a spot where all the Cutters will meet...
Cutters, as in the ancient Specials that you only learn in history class...
and she finds out that ending the world wasn't the aliens purpose...
then what was it?

This is a small summary that doesn't tell the end and left out parts that are very amazing and brain-shattering.
But in order for you to know the whole story, word for word,,,
is if you read it.
