Jeju Island is a perfectly controlled society.

    Not just the internet but even the smallest aspects of daily life fall under surveillance and regulation.

    Walking through the streets, you can see security cameras installed everywhere.

    Ironically, those cameras were Chinese-made.

    They were the same model as the notorious machines I had seen in China—capable of recognizing a person’s face and tracking their every movement.

    Roll calls were conducted through those cameras. A designated spot was marked in front of each residence, and as long as a person stood within the frame, the camera would automatically register their attendance.

    If someone failed to show up, a government official would visit before noon.

    As suffocating as the omnipresent surveillance was, the scarcity of basic necessities was even harder to endure.

    The Jeju government only provided half of what people needed.

    Food and essential supplies were barely enough to scrape by, and medicine was only available in limited quantities through public health centers.

    Like most of the government workers here, the employee in charge was a young woman—she barely looked like she was in her early twenties.

    I was too tired to even explain anymore.

    There was no point in arguing. No reason to raise my voice.

    On this island, I was nothing more than an outdated relic of the past.

    The employment official flipped through my file and eventually spoke.

    "I searched for jobs that fit your circumstances. There''s only one option left."

    "Where is it?"
