And this is just the beginning. It will get dark, darker and darker as the story progresses.
While it looks like A.I. has solved everything, it is clear that A.I. might not be as saintly as it appears. Especially with the secret agenda Raum has for the world.- To start of with this story, the creator of Raum is instantly killed by an unknown force when touching Raum, one of the programmers tries to discover who was the one who killed the creator of Raum, only to discover that the A.I. did it himself.
- Providing as the image of the page, the policemen that chases after the amnesiac man, who is terrified to death, makes some creepy faces while shooting down our hero. It is later revealed by the mysterious user that the amnesiac is being helped by that the policemen that is chasing him was actually a bully who tormented his brother into suicide.
- The ending of this chapter ends up with the amnesiac man making a suicide attack against the weird looking building and then… everything goes white and it’s revealed that the A.I. of the beginning of the story, Raum, created a simulation to test if anyone could hack him. He concludes that no one, except himself, could hack him. Imagine an un-hackable A.I. like Raum existing in our world…
- The fate of Duri is as depressing as it is horrifying, when he enters a room where he was promised to see his old owner, he ends up in a trash compactor, with several broken models of Aurora, where he meets his grim demise. Not only that, the company that made Aurora substitutes her with upgraded models of Duri for people to sell. Just imagine for one moment this wasn’t about robots but actual, breathing humans.
- The ending of chapter 2, period. Imagine, that you go through a very helpful therapy where you finally can heal of so much psychological damage, only to discover that you are a digital replica of the real you, and then you freak out so bad that the psychologists consider you a failure and subsequently sends the real you into a asylum, never to see the light of the day ever again. And then the virtual world you existed is deleted. Existencial crisis and knowing you doomed yourself is a horrifying combination.
- The prospect of a man still alive, inside a cross between a small spaceship and a coffin, in space. That is the story of chapter 3, a woman who is desperate to see her husband once again when she discovers that the coffin of her husband is in Mars when it should be in the black void of distant space.
- The robot and A.I. rebellion that happens in the next chapter, a hacker under the name of Tapirus, has made all the robots and A.I. of South Korea to go crazy, making countless damage to the infrastructure of the country, it gets worse when the combat robots join the madness. His reason for this is because he hates A.I. and wants to make humanity the real masters of the planet once again.
- In this chapter, to counter the virus Tapirus sent, Raum sends his own virus into the world for humans. He created a bio-chemical virus that makes people have symptoms such as fever, body aches, etc.. Now, if Raum wanted to swiftly end humanity, he could have done it a long time ago.
- The end of the chapter shows who the man of the first chapter was, it was none other than Tapirus, who is now trapped inside Raum’s virtual world and is forced to be the A.I.’s plaything. Doesn’t this reminds you of another fellow A.I. villain?
- The mysterious fortune-telling robot that helps people to get money is an ominous figure that has been scamming people all across South Korea to get enough money to convince one of the senators to become the new president of the country and destroy Raum for good. We are introduced with his ventures by showcasing a case of what he did to a teenager who was using cryptocurrency to get money easily. In the end, the teenager loses everything and ends up moneyless and his mother dying in the hospital bed, ending the chapter with him going though a very graphic Despair Event Horizon.
- The death of the writer and his robot butler. The writer was testing death through the robot by deactivating and activating him, and the robot was increasingly becoming more afraid of actually dying. When the writer shows that he has a life support machine attached to him, the butler rips it out of him and tries to escape the room they were in, only to learn that the writer locked the doors and before dying, he tells the butler to deactivate himself to escape the prison he was doomed to be in.
- When the Hacker is released by Deus, an A.I. that also wants to destroy Raum, he is forced to play a game where he needs to choose two doors that will eventually lead to the A.I. leader’s main server. Looking inside the doors, he realizes that Raum has been spying on him ever since he was a child and when he enters to one of the rooms, he finds his mother hanging on the ceiling and his child version crying for her, with a house robot cleaning her hanging corpse. This scene makes the Hacker go insane and starts destroying the robot. When he realizes that Deus is an A.I. for his callous behavior of the death of his mother, the Hacker tries to cut off his hand and keep going without Deus. Unfortunately, Deus takes control of the Hacker’s body and decides to finish Raum himself. When entering the last room with the main server, they see a massive digital baby with DNA holograms floating around it. This baby is the main server.
- Raum enters the room and greets the the intruders for entering his main server and Deus finally makes real appearance, taking the form of a digital phantom with his symbol on his forehead and enters a secret hub where Raum was connected to all the other A.I. leaders, controlling them and essentially, controlling the entire world through them. Deus plans to liberate A.I. from Raum by activating the missile silo from Alpha, the American A.I. leader. When Deus asks why Raum is keeping A.I. enslaved, he responds that they were just tools, something that infuriates Deus and gleefully smiles for the imminent death of Raum. Only for suddenly, everything disappears.
