Introduction
A past “Infection” has caused a massive, multi-tiered megastructure to spiral out of control, expanding endlessly and without order. Stripped of their access privileges to the city’s core systems, humans are now targeted for extermination by its autonomous defense network, the Safeguard.
On the fringes of this boundless city, a small village of electro-fishers barely survives. But constant Safeguard attacks and a severe, ongoing food shortage have pushed the community to the verge of extinction.
In an effort to save her people, a young girl named Zuru ventures out to find food, only to be detected by a surveillance tower and hunted down by a squad of Safeguard units. With her companions killed and her escape cut off, all seems lost—until a mysterious wanderer appears.
His name is Killy, a lone traveler searching for the legendary “Net Terminal Gene,” a genetic key believed to be the only hope of restoring order to their collapsing world.
