In the year 2243, humanity stands on the pinnacle of technological advancement, having evolved beyond the need for sleep and possessing capabilities surpassing even the most advanced artificial intelligence. This world was shaped by Project Paramount, a highly classified initiative that led to the deactivation of the Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AAI) that once guided humanity's rapid progress. The details of Project Paramount are known only to three original members, including the enigmatic leader known only as Mr. K, who has ruled Unit 1-A, the most powerful faction in the unified world, for the past 15 years.

The protagonist, a high-ranking operative who has been working under Mr. K for nine years, uncovers hints about the true nature of Project Paramount and the mysterious events between 2224-2229, a period during which humanity supposedly underwent a massive, undocumented evolution. Despite the world's advancements, shadows loom as the protagonist learns that not everything is as it seems—especially with the unseen yet palpable influence of the Vanguard, an enigmatic force controlling the flow of information.

After a cryptic meeting with Mr. K, where more questions arise than answers, the protagonist returns to the Rest Shelter, a vast facility where the elite reside and receive curated information. However, their return is met with an ominous message: "The leader of Unit 1-A has been assassinated!" This shocking event sets off a chain reaction, thrusting the protagonist into a dangerous game of power, deception, and hidden truths.

As they navigate the labyrinth of secrets surrounding Project Paramount, the true nature of humanity's evolution, and the identity of the Vanguard, the protagonist must uncover the real reason behind Mr. K's assassination. In a world where knowledge is power, and every move is monitored, they must decide whom to trust as they unravel the web of lies that could either save or doom the future of mankind.
