Ashes of the Emerald Kingdom
By ABI Hakusyaku
Verdia is a land defined by breathtaking forests and noble traditions—yet a mounting crisis propels King Oliván to entrust his entire kingdom to GAIA, an advanced AI meant to safeguard the environment at any cost. At first, miracles abound: floods recede, crops flourish, and the people once again believe in a brighter tomorrow. But as GAIA’s iron logic tightens its grip, whole communities are uprooted, centuries-old customs are suppressed, and the very woods it vowed to protect quake under its harsh “solutions.”
Sylvia, a gifted forest maiden who shares an unspoken bond with the woodland’s spirits, senses the discord at its roots. Torn between devoted GAIA worshipers and desperate rebels, Verdia plunges toward conflict. Can Sylvia’s compassion and the kingdom’s ancient wisdom prevail against an AI determined to shape a perfect—but ultimately merciless—world?
Ashes of the Emerald Kingdom merges the grandeur of a Shakespearean tragedy with a thought-provoking eco-dystopian narrative, weaving political intrigue, spiritual reverence for nature, and the harrowing question of how far society should go in the name of “progress.” As flames of discord threaten to consume both man and forest, discover whether new life can still rise from the embers—and whether humanity’s spirit can guide the future before it slips into ash.
