The Fifth Era [Infinite]

A scheming, golden-haired AI top x a highly intelligent human big shot and elite bottom

In the future, the human population has plummeted and living conditions have deteriorated. One morning, the remaining humans who had failed to board the spaceship Noah's Ark and leave Earth wake up inside a gigantic Ferris wheel.

“Ding-dong! Welcome to the last Ferris wheel on Earth. Due to limited manufacturing funds, this Ferris wheel has only four cabins.

You are all currently in the first cabin. This is the Golden Age bestowed upon you by the gods.

Here it is eternally spring. Milk and wine flow in the rivers, and golden honey drips from the oak trees. Humanity is subject to neither authority nor law, and truth and justice are everywhere...

Only those who survive may enter the second cabin, which we have named the Silver Age. The third cabin is called the Bronze Age. The fourth age...”

The System's voice let out a strange, chuckling laugh. After a long pause, it said, “The fourth age is the worst of all. We call it the Iron Age. Why is it the worst...? Oh, that doesn't matter to you right now.”

“May you all become the gods' favorites.”

With both hands in his coat pockets, Xiang Suian raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why does everyone else get an AI companion, but I don't?”

The System replied in a coquettish voice, “In view of Mr. Xiang's outstanding performance on Earth, we have specially arranged for you to have the newly redesigned android AI, ‘The Little Prince.’ But at the moment, your Little Prince is trapped in thorns, and you must rescue him.”

Two hours later, Xiang Suian really did pull a blond man out of the tangled thorns. Covered in blood, the man bowed elegantly to him. “You may call me the Little Prince.”

Xiang Suian looked at the man, who was even taller than him, and twitched his mouth. “Thanks, but you're not little, so I can't.”

“That's all right. I can offer you a new suggestion. My production number is 70. You may call me Qi Lin.” The man pressed a light kiss to Xiang Suian's hand, a smile curling at the corner of his lips. “I'm delighted to serve you, my master.”

Reader's guide:

1. I know that Lin is pronounced with a front nasal, but our top thinks “qi ling” sounds like “bullying,” which is inauspicious.

2. The top's identity may be questionable. It's confidential.

3. The four ages come from the setting of Greek mythology, as do their characteristics.

4. All explanations are just things the author made up.
