The launch of the Avalon Phone hit the world like a meteor.
In a single night, five million units were sold.By morning, news channels across continents showed long queues, stunned analysts, and tech CEOs in panic mode.No one had been prepared for a device ten years ahead of its time.
And in Silicon Valley, two giants were shaking.
Apple & Microsoft: Emergency Mode
At Apple HQ, Steve Jobs stared at the Avalon Phone on his desk—its sleek design, flawless touch interface, and instant-response OS.
"This shouldn't exist," he muttered.
Apple engineers agreed.The planned 2007 device—a prototype far from complete—looked like a toy compared to Avalon's masterpiece.
"Get me a meeting," Jobs said sharply. "With Alex Avalon. As soon as possible."
Microsoft wasn't any better.
Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer were practically shouting in a conference room as they examined Avalon OS's interface.
"It's too smooth—too polished," Gates said, almost horrified. "We're behind by a decade."
And that was when the board realized:Avalon Industries had just upended the world.
Avalon HQ – Another Invitation
Alex had just finished his morning meeting when Tony Stark barged into Avalon HQ, waving his Avalon Phone like a trophy.
"Alex!" Tony shouted. "I need a custom one!"
"Yours already is a custom one," Alex replied calmly.
"No, no, no—this is a regular model. I want something worthy of my genius. Something special. Something Stark."
Alex sighed. "You want it gold-plated?"
"Yes."
"And arc reactor-compatible?"
"Yes."
"And able to control your cars?"
Tony blinked. "Wait—can it do that?"
"With the right modules," Alex answered.
Tony slammed his hand on the desk.
"Alex, my friend, my brother—build me the StarkPhone."
Alex chuckled. "Fine. But it'll take a few weeks."
Tony grinned. "Deal."
Steve Jobs Comes to Avalon
Steve Jobs arrived two days later.
Unlike Tony's dramatic entrance, Jobs walked in with calm determination.Alex welcomed him into a private office.
Jobs placed the Avalon Phone on the table.
"This is revolutionary," he said honestly. "And we can't compete with it. At least… not yet."
Alex nodded silently.
Jobs leaned forward. "I want a deal. Apple will license Avalon technologies. Hardware, software—whatever you allow."
Alex closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
Then he made his offer.
"You can use some of Avalon's hardware tech," Alex said, "but Avalon OS stays exclusive to me."
Jobs raised an eyebrow. "So what do I get?"
Alex smiled.
"I'll design a simplified chipset for Apple. Enough to push you forward. But not enough to compete directly with the Avalon Phone."
Jobs took a slow breath.
"That's… fair."He extended a hand.Alex shook it.
Ending the biggest corporate war before it even began.
The Birth of Avalon OS, Avalon Store, and Avalon AI
After the meeting, Alex retreated to his special development lab.
If the smartphone was step one, then the world was about to witness step two.
Avalon OS
A fully self-coded, future-forward operating system.Stable. Smooth. Customizable.Years ahead of anything on Earth.
Avalon Store
Apps, games, music—an entire digital ecosystem.No ads.No bloatware.Just perfection.
Avalon AI
A personal AI assistant built into every phone.Faster than anything that would appear until the 2020s.
Grayfia and Albedo tested features.Kushina and Yasaka stress-tested security.Gwen and Helen handled UI polish and user experience.
Each woman watched Alex work—admiring, impressed… and a little jealous of each other.
But united, as always, when it came to him.
A New Tech Empire
By the time the chapter closed, Avalon Industries controlled:
Cosmetics
Medicine
Automobiles
Gaming
Communications
Mobile Technology
AI Ecosystem
And the world was scrambling to keep up.
For the first time, Earth was experiencing a technological leap not from progress…
…but from Alex.
