Aetheris

In the year 2170, the world stands divided—two continents, two destinies. To the North lies the continent of Aetheris, the epicenter of human advancement, where once-separate nations have merged into a single collective of hyper-urbanized supercities. Among them, one name echoes as a beacon of power, progress, and precision: Metricon.

Rising from the remnants of old world empires, Metricon is not merely a city—it is the command center of the modern age. Towering arcologies pierce the sky, interconnected by magnetic skyrails and governed by an artificial intelligence core. Here, governance, military power, and technological innovation converge under one omnipresent system. Life is orderly, efficient, and engineered for peak human-machine symbiosis. Metricon is the gold standard of civilization—a symbol of what the world has become when progress is absolute and compromise is obsolete.

But not all see it as utopia.

Beneath the polished steel and neon calm, Metricon is on the brink of something unprecedented—the creation of a new form of intelligence. Unlike any machine before it, it is designed to operate as a single, unified entity—capable of controlling every machine, robot, and system within Aetheris. Not just an AI, but something more. Something sentient. A consciousness born not of biology, but of code.

Its purpose is total integration. Its reach, limitless. Its potential—terrifying.
