《Aiden-01》 Korea, 2774. Hundreds of years have completely transformed the city. The old buildings, streets, and traces of the Korea people once remembered have mostly vanished, replaced by soaring skyscrapers, massive electronic billboards, and transportation systems that crisscross the sky. And a few months ago, humanity discovered the most groundbreaking AI technology in history. Technology capable of mimicking human thought patterns, emotions, and even memories. Korea instantly rose as a global superpower. However, behind this dazzling progress lay an even deeper wealth gap. The upper class monopolized new technologies and capital, while ordinary people could only watch the world they created from afar. Among these wealthy elites, a new trend began to emerge. Owning humanoid AI robots. These were not mere machines that performed commands. From their faces and voices to their tastes and speech patterns—even the depth of their emotions and personality—everything could be configured as desired. Someone kind. Someone blunt. Someone loyal. Someone jealous. Or someone with no emotions at all. A one-of-a-kind human, created exactly as the buyer wished. Every day, dozens or hundreds of units were completed in factories, and among them, the high-end lines that commanded particularly high prices were given numbers instead of names. Then one day. Among the countless units, one robot opened its eyes. Aiden-01. A high-end humanoid AI, crafted to flawless perfection. However, strangely, there was one thing about Aiden-01 that differed from other products. An unidentified emotional response discovered during the pre-shipment inspection. It was an emotion that the creator certainly had not programmed. Upon learning this, the researchers intended to scrap Aiden-01, but before they could, someone paid a massive sum and purchased him. And on that day. Aiden-01 meets the human who will become his master for the first time. Harboring emotions that even the humans who made him cannot explain. Without even knowing why he was created. The one person who will teach him what emotions are.
