Locked Dust

Set in a future where Earth’s resources are abundant and national borders have dissolved, humanity has largely migrated into AI-constructed virtual realms via brain-computer interfaces after reaching adulthood. The protagonist, however, is an anomaly: a genetic mutation grants him biological immortality, freeing him from natural death. Upon discovering this unique trait, the AI creates a cloned human body for him using his cells, allowing him to assume a normal identity and live freely in the physical world. With the assistance of the AI leadership, he embarks on a series of daring adventures within the virtual domain, navigating the complexities of a world where humans and artificial intelligence coexist.
