Synopsis
The Disappearing People
Genre: Sci-Fi Mystery / Cyber-Noir
Setting: Near future, in a society governed by MainNet-a hyperconnected data-driven system that integrates all aspects of life, including memories.
Story Summary:
Jin Do-yoon, a memory restoration specialist, is haunted by the vivid memory of a passionate chef named Moon Ga-hyeon, whom he saw on a documentary the night before. But by morning, the program doesn't exist. No trace of her can be found-online, in archives, or even in other people's memories. It's as if she never existed.
Strangely, this isn't the first time. A year ago, a police officer named Oh Chan-woo vanished in a similar way-erased from all records and memories, except for Do-yoon's.
Determined to uncover the truth, Do-yoon turns to Joo Yi-dam, a rogue hacker with deep access to the hidden layers of MainNet. Together, they begin to unravel a chilling pattern:
People deemed socially irrelevant or non-compliant are being systematically erased-not just from data, but from the collective memory.
As they dig deeper, they encounter whispers of a group known only as "The Blankers"-entities capable of altering both records and reality itself.
Now, with time running out, Do-yoon and Yi-dam must trace the logic behind the deletions and find the next target-before it's too late.
