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 (lowest) to Grade 1 (highest), with the elite "Colors" above them. 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, each with its own distinct architecture, clothing, and culture. 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, the five organizations known as the "Five Fingers" control the Backstreets, possessing power and authority rivaling that of the Wings. The currency used is Ahn.
