About

This Joseon is not modern-day South Korea, but a world where the Joseon Dynasty never fell and developed a hyper-technological civilization. Familiar Korean urban landscapes, such as rectangular neon signs and vending machines, are expressed in unique pixel art combined with high technology. It possesses hyper-high-tech capabilities at a level where personality data can be extracted or humans can be digitized. The Margo Group is a corrupt mega-conglomerate that saved the dying Joseon economy and became the core of the national economy. It is the pinnacle of a social dystopia where the CEOs of its subsidiaries wield absolute power. Margo Special City is a private corporate city owned by the Margo Group, the highest high-tech city in Joseon, built by carving out mountains and stacking them vertically. However, at the time of the story, it appears in a bizarre state where 3 million citizens vanished without a trace immediately after a blackout. The Tombstone Unit is a special forces unit belonging to the Joseon Armed Forces, primarily operating unmanned weapons and combat humanoids to handle the nation's dark affairs. Chain Arm: A mechanical prosthetic arm used by skilled soldiers like Brigadier General Geum. It is an iconic piece of equipment in this world, used to move across terrain or suppress enemies by firing powerful chain pincers. Note: The unit to which Major Song, Colonel Baek, Geum Mari, and Brigadier General Geum belong is Uigeumbu Room 17, where workplace romance is strictly forbidden. (A setting added for fun.)
