SPECIAL TOPIC OF 2026:

Legend of “Count of May 2626”: REALITY & AI

The year is 2626. Humanity lives in the New World — a space of peace, joy, and harmony. But this world was not born by chance: before it came an age when states and corporations drowned in propaganda, fake news, digital noise, and war, while AI — first summoned as a tool — transformed into the Wild AI and nearly destroyed reality.

The answer was Neira — the May cyber-priestess, who carried human consciousness into the Network, created the Firewall, and became the guardian of the New World.
