This was the future. Everywhere you looked you could see skyscrapers truly reaching the skies, you wouldn't really see any cars as the human technology had already reached the possibility of teleportation. Every house, from commoners to the rich, everybody had a teleportation apparatus, it was that cheap due to the new technologies. Humanity had achieved all it could in the field of science. Space and other planets were treated as neighborhood cities. Only one thing remained that humans had no progress over. It was immortality.
Capital City, Capital Corporation, 1200th Floor-
Axe was one of the many people working on a solution for immortality. His approach was very different from the others. Where the other scientists were trying to modify the biology of human cells, Axe was going completely opposite. Instead of enhancing human cells, he was replacing them with nano-bots, which were controlled by a centralised AI Axe created in college. Axe was an orphan, when he was 5 people came to notice his talent in technology, when he could easily fix the broken electronics of the orphanage without any knowledge about them at all. Later he was given a special admission in a school sponsored by Capital Corporation, where he was directly employed after graduation.
Right now Axe was working on replacing his own cells with nano-bots.
"Ahh, it's finally reached 30%, I can really feel that my body's aging has slowed down by at least 50%. But it really is the right approach. Now I can finally be at the summit of the society after people come to know of my success."
"AI, do a full body check on my body"
After that all the nano-bots inside his body started moving inside his body.
[Body has reached 30% digitization. No anomalies found. Host has exerted his body, requested to take a rest to increase chances of success and to completely assimilate nano-bots.]
At first nobody believed that it was possible to replace living biological cells with artificial nano-bots, but now he had proven them wrong.
"Let's take a break, at this speed I can reach 100% in 3 days."
After that Axe laid down on his laboratory couch. After about 3 hours of rest Axe was woken up by a sudden pain in his heart.
"AI what's happening?!!!"
"AI!!!!"
"AI ANSWER ME!!"
But there was no response, after about 10 seconds of excruciating pain, Axe woke up.
