The Great Game of Bones
In the year 2025, the world had become fixated on the idea that physical appearance determined everything. What had once been whispered in dark corners of the internet—obsessions over jawlines, cheekbones, height, and body proportions—was now mainstream. The era of lookism had arrived, a society where one’s worth was judged primarily by the size of their bones and symmetry of their features. Subtle personality traits and intelligence, once prized in romantic relationships and professional success, had become secondary, almost irrelevant.
It started with small movements, fueled by forums and social media influencers preaching “Looksmaxxing.” They promised a transformation, a pathway to success and fulfillment through the modification of one's appearance. At first, it was simple: skincare routines, exercise regimens, and diet plans meant to maximize one’s natural beauty. But soon, it escalated.
By mid-2025, surgeries to augment facial bone structures and height enhancements had become as common as buying a new phone. Entire industries thrived on bone-maxxing surgeries—procedures designed to sharpen the jawline, widen the cheekbones, and enhance the brow ridge. Bone implants, injections, and even skeletal restructuring surgeries were performed en masse. Advertisements plastered across cities sold the promise of social power, love, and success, all achieved through cosmetic transformation.
The youth, especially young men, found themselves trapped. They had been sold the idea for years that personality mattered most—kindness, wit, and intelligence. But as The Great Game of Bones reshaped society, they felt betrayed. Social hierarchy became ruthlessly visible: taller, more angular, more sculpted individuals dominated every aspect of life. Those born with small frames or softer features were ridiculed, often left to the fringes, socially isolated and ignored.
A group of friends, Max, Ethan, and Jake, had grown up believing in a world where their dreams were possible if they worked hard and developed their personalities. But in 2025, they realized they had been lied to. Each of them was average in height, with unremarkable facial features. They watched as their peers—those who opted for looksmaxxing—climbed the social and professional ladder.
Max was the first to give in. He spent his life savings on jawline implants and calf-lengthening surgery. His transformation was startling. His newfound success, both romantically and at work, was immediate. Ethan and Jake followed suit, each spending thousands to enhance their appearances. Yet, something within them felt hollow. Even as they rose through the ranks of society, they noticed an emptiness in the eyes of those around them—everyone had the same carved faces, the same angular jaws. Individuality had become a casualty in the pursuit of perfection.
The world outside grew colder. Artificial beauty became the new norm, and those who couldn’t afford or refused to undergo procedures were ostracized. Crime rates soared as the desperation to lookmaxx consumed society. By late 2025, a darker side of the movement emerged—dangerous underground surgeries and illegal black-market implants led to severe complications, deformities, and even deaths.
As the societal obsession reached its peak, a catastrophe struck. A worldwide cyberattack, later linked to a group protesting against lookism, targeted the AI systems that powered the health and surgery infrastructure. Hospitals, beauty clinics, and surgical centers lost control of their systems. Machines malfunctioned, procedures went horribly wrong, and thousands of people were left disfigured or injured.
In the aftermath, there was chaos—mass protests, revolts, and an overwhelming wave of regret from those who had altered themselves beyond recognition. Governments were forced to regulate the beauty industry heavily. In a bittersweet resolution, society began to rediscover the value of individuality, though at the cost of many lives and countless disfigured bodies. For the survivors, there was a painful lesson: they had sacrificed too much for the illusion of perfection.
As the world began to heal, Max, Ethan, and Jake sat together, their bodies forever changed, their friendships altered. In the quiet moments that followed the collapse of The Great Game of Bones, they found solace in one another—knowing that even in a world obsessed with appearance, some bonds were deeper than bone.
