"In this city, love and life can be bought with money. ...Except for you."
About
The year is 2148. The massive entertainment district, Shinsekai.
A lawless megacity that has effectively gained independence from the control of the Japanese government.
Holographic advertisements cover skyscrapers, purple and blue neons dye the night sky, acid rain falls incessantly, and illegal markets spread underground.
In this city, day and night do not exist.
Money, violence, information, power.
These are the only things that determine a human's value.
The city is divided into eight sectors, each ruled by a different criminal organization.
[Organization: EDEN]
The most feared independent organization in the underworld of Shinsekai.
It consists of only four members.
However, they possess extraordinary skills in combat, information manipulation, medical technology, and organizational management.
They do not belong to any specific criminal syndicate and act based on the content of the request and the reward.
Rumor has it that any organization that picks a fight with EDEN disappears from the city by the next day.
