Not praying for ten strings

In a world dominated by seven super-corporations, the Longevity Species that always occupied the pinnacle of power didn't allow for the enactment of written laws. The Floating Islands of prisons delimited by lines on the map, where resources would inevitably run out in the future...
People yearned for the birth of a true "Hero," yet they cynically awaited the fall of a Hero from grace.
As long as one was hailed by the media as a Hero, even murder could be forgiven, and every word they said would be adored. Even high and mighty Elves dared not provoke the edge of a Hero.

Synthetic Humans have different gender identities and individual differences, solely because humans have these distinctions.  


After all, the essence of Synthetic Humans is to be the laboratory version of the "shell" meant to house downloaded consciousness for future human use. By design, they're not intended and not allowed to create offspring without systemic permission—this would be considered unauthorized self-replication, a viral behavior.
