[Worldview Overview]

2125, Seoul.

[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 city with the most developed 'network' in South Korea, 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 modification.
The upper class uses high-end modified bodies to delay aging.
Ordinary citizens use basic modified bodies and are entirely dependent on corporate technology.
Lower-class citizens use illegally modified bodies and are primarily involved in criminal activities.

[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. Hangang-daero Traffic Disaster (2109)
   An error occurred during the process of optimizing 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 modifications using its company's modified bodies.
   Humans using illegal 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 social classes.
