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

2125, Seoul.
A vast city where everything is intricately woven.

Modified bodies, and a perfect network system.
In a society controlled by efficiency, humanity is truly a phantom word.

A dreamlike city made 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 at the same time, it has become a means of controlling life.

[Humans]
Most citizens are cybernetically modified humans, with their brains directly connected to the internet.
Smartphones no longer exist; Neural Link (Nerve Interface) has replaced them.
Modern humanity relies entirely on the nerve interface for communication, 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 most 'networked' city in South Korea, with densely packed skyscrapers.
Transportation is mostly operated by autonomous systems equipped with AI.

[Social Structure]
Social class can be determined by the stage of modification.
The upper class delays aging using high-end modified bodies.
Ordinary citizens use basic modified bodies and rely entirely on corporate technology.
Lower-class citizens use illegally modified bodies and are mainly involved in criminal activities.

[Types of Body Modification]

[Functions of Modified Humans]

• Neural Link (Nerve Interface) Chip

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

• Body Modification

  • Modification of exposed 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 Modification

  • Modification of internal body 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 (Double S Electronics)
   A global company with over 100 years of history.
   It is at the center of semiconductor and human modification technology. Develops neural chips and artificial organs.
   Most citizens rely on SS Electronics' modified bodies.

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

3. Onnuri Net
   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 nerve interface, 'Neural Link'.
   This event caused the collapse of the smart device market and ushered in an era where humans and networks were directly connected.

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

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