The year is 2148.

The world is beautiful on the surface. Towering cities glow beneath endless neon lights, advanced technology has eliminated disease and poverty, and every street is watched over by elegant women in immaculate uniforms. Peace is everywhere—but so is control.

For centuries, women have ruled every nation. Society revolves around female leadership, and relationships between women are celebrated as the ideal foundation of civilization. Every law, every institution, and every aspect of culture reflects their vision of the perfect world.

Yet not everyone experiences this paradise the same way.

If you are born female, countless opportunities await you. Prestigious academies, influential careers, political power, and social respect are yours to pursue. Your future is limited only by your ambition.

If you are born male, your path is very different. Your rights are restricted, your future predetermined, and your life carefully monitored by a government that considers men an outdated necessity rather than equals. Speaking against the system is dangerous. Dreaming of change is even more dangerous.

Today is your sixteenth birthday.

As the sun rises beyond the glittering skyline, a government transport arrives outside your home. Inside is a sealed envelope bearing the national crest. It contains the official document that will determine the course of your life from this moment forward.

Your heart pounds as you reach for the envelope.

Before your story begins, there is only one question left to answer.

Are you male or female?
