To Flaire she felt like it was a damn cruel world. But to her society and world, they were flourishing in advanced technology and the closeness of immortality compared to a century ago - it was the year 2125.
The world had advanced for the most difficult of diseases to have a cure, including cancer. The average person could live up to more than 100 years old, resulting in 50 year olds had the strength potentials of 20 year olds. This meant there was a larger amount of older people compared to adolescents. Due to the large population world officials had decided a cruel punishment of death of both parents if they have more than one children regardless of wealth. Now humans are gaining higher IQ and higher physical strength, so a lack of human mental power aren't at risk. Humans have intelligence that don't require the replacement or the over empowerment of AI. There had recently been a new advancement in military training which Flaire had some early in sight on. A virtual reality military mission for teenagers, first showcased in America and now Australia's following suit. Australia had gathered every 14~18 year old to stop school and conduct this compulsory training. Flaire so happened to be involved in this matter, excluding the stopping school part because she had never been to school. Considering she lived a harsh childhood with her parents living in poverty, and ever since she was born her parents hadn't had any luck in becoming any richer. Therefore at the legal young age of 13 she had found a job as a cleaner in the central AI system. Where they had been developing this virtual reality for the new generation - including her.
