Crowned by Code

In the year 2147, the technologically advanced nation of Erevania has entrusted nearly all aspects of governance to Athena, a hyper-intelligent AI modeled after the Greek goddess of wisdom. For decades, Athena has ensured stability, efficiency, and fairness—its most crucial role being the selection of Erevania’s leader through rigorous data-driven analysis.

But when Athena announces its latest choice for ruler, the nation is thrown into chaos. Darius Kael, a convicted felon serving a life sentence for hacking, fraud, and grand larceny, is deemed the only person capable of leading Erevania through an imminent crisis. Athena's decision sparks nationwide unrest, exposing deep-seated corruption and a growing rift between the ruling elite and the people.
