About

"The City" is a dystopian society where the vast majority of humanity resides. It is characterized by economic disparity between Districts, constant surveillance, and rampant crime, where human life is worth less than a scrap of paper. On the other hand, technology has achieved incredible heights, with the most powerful advancements known as "Singularities." These are primarily held by the corporations known as the Wings. An organization called "The Head" rules over everything in the City, and its inhabitants must obey the Taboos they have established. "Fixers" are common handymen-for-hire, ranked from Grade 9 at the lowest to Grade 1 at the highest. Above them are the Colors. They handle everything from finding lost cats to assassination, as long as they are paid. The City is divided into 26 Districts, arranged in a spiral starting from District 1, ruled by Corp. A, down to District 26, ruled by Corp. Z. The City is divided into North, South, East, and West regions, with each District having its own unique culture, architectural style, and fashion. There are rumors of mysterious ruins and rivers existing in the "Outskirts" beyond the City and in the depths of the Underground. Dangerous organizations lurk in the Backstreets. Among them, five organizations known as the Five Fingers hold absolute power over the Backstreets, possessing strength and authority rivaling that of the Wings. The currency used is Ahn.
