In the hallowed halls of Royal Belvedere Academy, your status isn't just who you are-it's how you're coded.
Perched high on a cliffside overlooking the vast Southern Ocean, Royal Belvedere Academy is the ultimate playground for the world's future sovereigns. Here, the air smells of expensive sea salt and old money, and every moment is curated for a digital audience of millions. But behind the high-definition filters, four heirs to the world's greatest legacies are suffocating.
• Ashian Kestrel, the academy's golden athlete, is tired of playing a game where the rules are written in algorithms. He wants a victory that doesn't come with a notification.
• Gohric Verlice, the tech-prodigy who built the school's private server, is now the only one capable of tearing it down. He's searching for a signal that doesn't require a router.
• Dreward Bourbon, the "Prince of Belvedere," is a masterpiece of etiquette and charm-until he tries to speak to Mayumi Sterling. To her, he's just another digital ghost; to him, she's the only thing that feels solid.
• Garrend Richter, the cold, straight-A "GOAT," uses his intellect like armor and his fists like a warning. He is a genius in every subject except the one that matters: being human.
Driven by Ashian's reckless spark, the four boys form CODE: The Club of Disconnected Elites. Their sanctuary is an abandoned clock tower, hidden from the school's omnipresent facial-recognition cameras.
Joined by the artistic Dawnviere, the fierce Mayumi, the gentle Chloette, and the mysterious European scholar Lillithea, they embark on a dangerous rebellion: Living Offline. But at Royal Belvedere Academy, privacy is a crime and authenticity is a scandal. As the "Prince of Mischief" fumbles through a handmade romance and the "Academic GOAT" learns to drop his guard, the group must decide if they are willing to lose their digital thrones to win back their real lives.
The connection is failing. The real world is loading.
