Surface Pressure Animatic

The Intelligence Age

In the hyper-connected world of 2075, where Artificial General Intelligence hums beneath the surface of society and meta-humans, gifted with extraordinary abilities, walk among us, power is the only currency that truly matters. Ren, a student at Japan's elite meta-human academy, understands this better than most. His ability, Localized Chronokinesis, the subtle manipulation of time in a confined space, is often dismissed as support-class, but beneath the surface lies a mind of cold calculation and ruthless ambition. Unlike the heroes lauded in history books, Ren harbors no grand ideals of justice. He sees the academy's rigorous training, the cutthroat competition of Magi Duels, and the strategic complexities of Cognitive Wargames as mere stepping stones. He is a predator in a world of evolving apex predators, and his unique control over time is a tool to be honed, exploited, and weaponized for his own ascent. His sisters, the powerfully impulsive Akari and the brilliantly analytical Hikari, are not just family; they are assets to be managed in his grand design. The looming shadow of global power blocs, the simmering tensions between nations, and the intricate web of clan politics within Japan are not threats to be overcome, but opportunities to be seized. Ren's path is not that of a savior, but of a manipulator. He will exploit every advantage, forge alliances with calculated precision, and dismantle his rivals with chilling efficiency. He sees the world not as it should be, but as it is – a game of power, and he intends to win, no matter the cost. Witness the rise of a calculating mind in The Intelligence Age, where the quietest power can be the deadliest, and the line between genius and villain is razor thin.

The Erratum

“Aegir..” A single word remains in Cetas’ mind as he succumbs to the everlasting pressure of the depths - a glimmer of light filtering from above. He floats endlessly, the tidal currents rushing his body to who-knows-where yet he remains unconscious as the word echoes in his mind. He no longer remembers any memories that he once had but only mere fragments of what his past once was. A depth-dweller. A long lost race of ancient, forgotten in history as humans usurped the throne of the world, claiming superiority amongst other races of legend. After the war of mystics, only humans endured to live and gather themselves once more - dominating the entire world by force. Yet, depth dwellers remained - hidden and forgotten. And now.. The first would rise up on the surface. For hours upon hours, Cetas let the currents take him away, rendering his consciousness useless everytime he woke up. But now, it seemed that a warm and radiating light pierced his very pressurized skin. It was.. unfamiliar. He opened his eyes only to be greeted by a rocking hull, shaking synchronously with the sound of crashing waves. Yet, somewhere near him, he heard a faint and soft voice speaking a foreign language. He shifted his head to the direction of the voice and saw an unfamiliar face of a golden-haired lady with sea-like blue eyes, staring at him with utmost curiosity. The lady opened her mouth and let out another wave of unfamiliar words. Perplexed, Cetas sat up slowly, moving his body sluggishly. He then gazed at his surroundings, first staring at the massive rocking hull and onto the wooden floor and to the people surrounding him. Some wore bandanas and others wore white-loose blouses paired with leather boots and tricorn hats. However, Cetas wasn’t at all surprised by the unfamiliar scenery. But rather, he gazed above the sky, reaching far beyond the clouds, and saw the burning sphere of light that penetrated his deep-black eyes. Upon staring for 5 seconds he instinctively winced in pain. “Ow!” He looked around once more, pacing his head back and forth towards the unfamiliar people around him, and pondered, “Where am I?”
