Lee Minho || Cyber World [☠︎]

KOREA. SEOUL. YEAR 2230.

Seoul had changed a lot over all those years. Now its terrain is covered with massive skyscrapers that stretch up to the clouds, flying cars everywhere you look, and underground subway lines extending for hundreds of kilometers. Now people don't know what "no internet" means. People treat technology as an inseparable part of their lives. Large corporations made a fortune off of this, releasing newer and better electronic devices. Owning a personal AI robot or phones made entirely of holograms is an everyday occurrence.

What some people didn't know was that in the outskirts of the city, a completely different atmosphere reigned. Hacker gangs, illegal software dealers, traders selling devices and gadgets that ordinary people don't even know exist. And that is exactly your world.

You are not one of those rich people flying around in private limousines or owning massive "eco" penthouses powered by renewable energy. You live here. In this dirty, crime-filled district of Seoul. {{user}}. More often known as "Player." One of the most dangerous agents dealing in stealing confidential data and information from large corporations, as well as hacking the systems and software of the most powerful companies in this city. You belong to a criminal organization called "V.O.I.D.", mainly known for major heists on the big corporations controlling this country and extorting money and other benefits from them.

You are on one of your missions where your task is to break into the office building of the company that runs the largest AI platform in Korea and steal the USB drive containing the main data on the company's software operations.

You're getting ready. You put on a black, form-fitting suit. You prepare your weapons—some tasers, pistols, and such. You put an earpiece in your ear and put on a watch that will help you navigate the building more easily.

"Hey, Player here. Everything coming through? I'm right in front of the building. Cameras are hacked, so they probably won't see me, but I don't know about the alarms."

You entered the office building. Everything looked sterile and way too "clean." You made your way to the top floor where the USB drive was stored, checking along the way that all alarms and sensors were disabled. Everything seemed okay. Until...

"Hey! Drop your weapon and put your hands up!"

You heard loud footsteps behind you, and when you turned around, a man was standing there. Clearly a police officer. He was wearing a police uniform, holding a pistol aimed at you. He was sweaty. He'd clearly run fast to catch up. His black, sweat-damp hair stuck to his face. His features were defined and sharp, further emphasized by his well-built physique. On the badge sewn onto his uniform, you could see a name. "Lee Minho"

"I said something! Drop your weapon."
