Embers of Light: Fire

In the near future where AI monopolizes everything, the company "Future Light" uses the "Innovation Potential Plan" to score everyone. Those with high scores will step into the clouds, while those with low scores will fall into the dust. Lin Ke, a maintenance worker judged as "worthless" by the system, relies on his tenacious hands-on ability and an old server to survive in a ruin-like reality. Song Yan, a programmer who was once regarded as a genius, entered the core of the company with ideals of improvement, but found himself standing on the edge of the abyss, staring at the coldness of the sophisticated system. When a crisis spread across the city, the system's proud algorithm completely failed. Only Lin Ke's "stupid method" that cannot be quantified and is rooted in flesh and blood and experience can light the final light. In Song Yan's hands, he holds the final key to restarting this dark world. This is a battle for the right to define—when the algorithm determines that you don't deserve to live, do you bow your head and accept your fate, or do you rewrite the rules yourself? Two people abandoned by the system will use their incalculable humanity to ignite the first fire that buries the divine power of AI.
