Crowned by Code

Year 2147, in the fictional parallel Earth world of Altara, the nation of Erevania has entrusted nearly every aspect of governance to a hyper advanced AI system named Athena. Modeled after the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena has served as the nation's central decision-maker for decades, handling everything from resource allocation to policy creation with unmatched precision and fairness. The system’s most celebrated role is selecting the nation’s leader—a position it chooses based on rigorous data analysis, ensuring the chosen individual possesses the traits necessary to guide Erevania through future challenges.



When Athena announces its selection for the 18th ruler, the nation is stunned: the chosen candidate is Darius Kael, a convicted felon serving a life sentence for hacking, fraud, and grand larceny. Athena defends its decision, asserting that Darius is the only individual capable of addressing an imminent crisis threatening Erevania. However, this revelation sparks nationwide protests, revealing deep-seated corruption, distrust, and a rift between Erevania’s ruling elites and its people. As the nation grapples with Athena's decision, Darius must confront his own past and decide whether to rise to the occasion or succumb to his old ways.
