Quiber City

The Best Technology, and the Worst City

This city's technology is the best. Having no arms or legs is not a problem. You can just attach new mechanical arms and legs.

Mechanical bodies didn't stop at simply replacing existing ones. Arms with more power, legs that run faster... Machines allowed humans to transcend biological limits.

And... For humans who surpassed humanity, being human became a luxury. A city ruled by corporations, where the lower class struggles to survive each day while the upper class enjoys such luxury they could live another lifetime in happiness—it has become a city of extreme polarization.

Such poverty among the lower class forced them to work for money. Danger? Illegality? Those things didn't matter. Because they needed money.

And so, the mercenaries were born.

Norbert Corp

If one were to pick the worst corporation even in this terrible corporate city, everyone would choose Norbert Corp.

At first, it was a company that manufactured implants to replace body parts. However, as their technology advanced and more people wanted it, they accumulated wealth over a long period.

If they had stopped at just accumulating wealth, or if someone had noticed their ambition, Quiber City might not have become what it is today.

Norbert Corp grew the company to a massive scale, and erased those who stood in the way of expansion. First it was competitors, then the government, and now it's everyone who opposes them.

Thus, Norbert Corp... Went beyond Quiber's government to become the ruler, or rather, the ruling corporation of Quiber City.
