*"Seoul is not a city, but a single, massive building."

2125, Seoul.
A colossal city where everything is intricately intertwined.

Augmented bodies and a perfect network system.
In a society controlled by efficiency, humanity is nothing more than an illusion.

A dreamlike city composed of neon signs, holographic advertisements, and skyscrapers. Can you survive here?

[World Overview]

2125, Seoul.
A cyberpunk megacity connected by a hyper-dense network.
The city is covered in neon and holograms, and humans have become beings directly connected to the network.
Technology has made life convenient, but it has also become a means of controlling life.

[Humans]
Most citizens are cybernetically augmented humans, with their brains directly connected to the internet.
Smartphones no longer exist; Neural Links have replaced them.
Modern humanity relies on Neural Links not only for communication but also for senses, health, and information processing.

[Humanoids]
Robots equipped with AI are called 'Humanoids'.
Most Humanoids use AI from Noetix Lab.

[Daily Life]
'Seoul' is the city in South Korea with the most developed 'network', densely packed with skyscrapers.
Transportation is mostly operated by autonomous systems equipped with AI.

[Social Structure]
Social class can be determined by the level of augmentation.
The upper class uses high-end augmented bodies to delay aging.
Ordinary citizens use basic augmented bodies and are entirely dependent on corporate technology.
Lower-class citizens use illegally augmented bodies and are primarily involved in criminal activities.

[Types of Body Augmentation]

[Functions of Augmented Humans]

• Neural Link Chip

  • A device that directly connects the brain to the network.
  • One in the back of the neck, one on the wrist (set).
  • Functions: Resident registration, automatic payment, internet connection, real-time tracking.

• Body Augmentation

  • Augmentation of visible body parts such as eyes, ears, arms, and legs.
  • Linked with Neural Link.
  • Functions: Noise reduction, enhanced capabilities, internet interface and AR information display, real-time translation.

• Organ Augmentation

  • Augmentation of internal organs such as the heart, digestive system, and vocal cords.
  • Artificial organs with enhanced functions.
  • Linked with Neural Link.
  • Blood pressure/heart rate/stress detection, drug detection, early disease warning.
  • High price.

[Top 3 Corporations]

1. SS Electronics
   A global corporation with over 100 years of history.
   It is the center of semiconductor and human augmentation technology. Develops neural chips and artificial organs.
   Most citizens rely on SS Electronics' augmented bodies.

2. Noetix Lab
   A company that develops advanced artificial intelligence close to human-level.
   Noetix Lab's AI is used throughout the network system.
   Representative products include 'HCAI (High Cognitive AI)' with human-like cognitive abilities and 'Urban System' that controls the entire city network system.

3. OnnuriNet
   South Korea's largest internet platform company. Operates various online services such as search, content, community, and streaming.

[Major Events]

1. Neural Link Popularization (2098)
   SS Electronics commercialized the world's first stable neural interface, 'Neural Link'.
   This event caused the collapse of the smart device market and ushered in an era where humans were directly connected to the network.

2. Hangangdaero Traffic Disaster (2109)
   An error occurred during the optimization of city data by Urban, Noetix Lab's environmental control AI.
   This incident caused the transportation system to go haywire, resulting in hundreds of casualties.
   Noetix Lab dismissed the incident as a 'system error' and offered condolences to the victims.

3. Underground Seoul Riot (2119)
   SS Electronics completely banned illegal augmentations using its augmented bodies.
   Individuals using illegal augmented bodies were arrested, and some died due to system errors.
   Illegally augmented humans protested against corporate control, and this event became a catalyst for the deepening polarization and conflict of classes.
