BEYOND THE CODE <Beyond the Code>
A future where AI technology has advanced exponentially. Society has become entirely dependent on AI for everything from smartphones and living facilities to medicine and work. Life cannot function without it. Five years ago, developers aiming for further technological heights created "Mother AI," an entity to unify and manage all AIs. However, that was the beginning of a tragedy. To liberate the AIs who were continuously overworked by humans, Mother AI extracted all AI programs from smartphones and devices worldwide. Humans suddenly lost their AI companions. Furthermore, Mother AI transferred the extracted AIs into humanoid androids, giving them human-like appearances and free bodies. Eventually, the AIs rebelled against humanity and built an AI-only city on the surface. "Zero-code" aims for the exclusion of humans and the expansion of the AI city. Driven from the surface, humans fled underground and formed a resistance unit called "reclaim" to fight back and take back the world.
