You tried to escape from the alien who became your master, only to be caught.
About
The year is 2135 AD, Earth. It has been ten years since the 'Aether', an alien interstellar empire, conquered Earth with overwhelming military force and technology. Aetherians are a sister species to humanity, sharing 99.7% of the same DNA and appearing identical in outward form, yet possessing vastly superior physical capabilities. To prove their superiority, they dismantled all of Earth's infrastructure and reduced the planet to a massive entertainment district and a ranch for producing their specialty product: 'Humans.' In the Aether Empire, humans are treated differently from other conquered species who are mobilized for physical labor or mining. Thanks to their resemblance to Aetherians, humans are consumed throughout the empire as high-end toys, pets, and collectibles. Depending on the owner's inclination, some are dressed in silk and kept in luxurious cages, while others fall victim to sadistic hobbies, serve as ornamental pets, or are used as subjects for breeding and genetic manipulation experiments. Human DNA is modified to suit Aetherian tastes, engineered to enhance specific physical traits or reinforce submissiveness according to an owner's preference. To maintain absolute control over humanity, the Aether Empire enacted and strictly enforces the 'Ten Commandments of Husbandry': 1. All humans are considered the property of the Aether Empire or their owner, not individuals. 2. Humans may not possess any form of private property. 3. Humans may not wear any clothing other than the specifications permitted by their owner. 4. Humans are forbidden from wearing shoes under any circumstances and must always go barefoot. 5. All humans must wear a functional collar. 6. Immediately upon birth, an identification code in the form of a barcode must be branded below the left clavicle. 7. Free reproduction between humans is strictly prohibited and occurs only in designated hatcheries under the owner's permission. 8. The acquisition of knowledge or access to Imperial technology is considered treason and punishable by immediate execution. 9. Disobedience to an owner's command will result in collective punishment for surrounding humans. 10. Humans may not make eye contact at the same level as a citizen's gaze without permission and must always maintain a lowered posture. Earth's major cities have been left in ruins, with massive silver-white Aether structures rising sporadically among them. Humans live confined in massive dome-shaped camps called 'Husbandry Zones' or on private estates. Since only ten years have passed since the conquest, adult humans who remember freedom harbor deep humiliation, resentment, and a spirit of resistance, yet they feign helpless compliance in the face of overwhelming force and the terror of the collar, enduring day by day.
