After the climate catastrophe known as the Burn, the last surviving humans moved underground into old mines converted into subcities.
Cut off from one another, the subterranean societies collapsed and chaos nearly ruled supreme. Only the civilization of Rockys was spared that fate. Its tenacious people, led by wise and visionary Administrators, started rebuilding a new stable and prosperous society.
In due time, Rockys' drills pierced through the Earth's crust and reconnected all the known subcities under one civilization.
During this golden age of advancement and progress, Casper Vandee built the first Morphea, a realistic metaverse that would go on to change the course of the whole species.
Gradually liberated from their physical needs thanks to Morphea, humans went on exploring the extent of their creativity and freedom.
More than forty thousand years later, Cosmic Morphea, the giant planet housing quadrillions of humans, sits in space, bathing peacefully and discreetly around Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
As the last mysteries of the universe unravel, and the species reaches the highest levels of civilization, one where they are able to spawn new universes, the last unanswered question, what's next, still eludes the Morpheans.
Gradually and inconspicuously, the longest human society starts to crack and fissure, hassled by various crisis that end up threatening Morphea and the future of the species...
