A Matrix-like world set in a manor house.

In the immense manor house of Hemyock, Oswald leads a rather comfortable life. All of the staff members work day and night to help him develop his talents as a young prodigy. Due to a strange illness, he isn't permitted any contact with the outside world. He has never met his parents and knows nothing about the world surrounding the manor house. But as his sixteenth birthday approaches, the boy begins to question these gray areas in his life. Then a young girl secretly contacts him out of nowhere and encourages him to run away with her. But how does one leave the manor house walls? The mystery is much greater than anything either of them could have imagined...
