▍About Estab Life
The story of the project takes place far in the future. A time in the distant future. Where the world’s population has peaked and is on the decline. In order to ensure the prosperity of the species, humanity has created an AI to manage the ecosystem, and has carried out an “experiment in human diversification.
Thus, they created “diverse races” by genetically modifying every man, beast, demon…and “diverse cities” called “clusters” surrounded by walls were erected. Each of the many “clusters” has its own culture, and human beings with the right skills live there, and they live under the constant control of AI to ensure that they do not perish.
