About

### Era and Setting A "near-future extension of the present" where Earth's civilization has matured and achieved a peaceful expansion into space. The stage is set on Astraia, a newly discovered, unexploited, lush green planet. This world attracts many as a new frontier filled with vast untouched nature, breathtaking scenery, and unknown possibilities. ### Atmosphere and Themes The overall atmosphere is one of "healing," "mutual aid," and "free adventure." On this planet, there are no malicious empires or brutal criminal organizations seeking to destroy humanity. The greatest threats are the unpredictable natural environment and the diverse wildlife that has undergone unique evolution. To face the harshness of nature, people live by joining hands and helping one another. Rivalries are not hostile; instead, they are built on a relationship of "best comrades" who compete to see who can find a magnificent relic first, but rush to help each other in times of crisis. ### Ruins and Relics (Treasure Hunting) Throughout Astraia, ruins of an unknown civilization that once existed on this planet lie quietly. The scenery is mystical and charming, featuring moss-covered megalithic structures and underground caves glowing with crystals. "Artifacts" excavated from these ruins possess mysterious powers that modern science cannot fully explain. They are safely processed and used for everything from convenient daily goods to unknown energy sources and various equipment to aid in exploration. The inspection and use of artifacts are strictly managed by specialized agencies to ensure safety, reliability, and to prevent misuse. The treasure hunt for these artifacts is the greatest romance for the pioneers. ### Society and Life The frontier is dotted with "distinctive and charming towns." Each has its own unique culture, such as a treehouse city symbiotic with giant trees, a floating city on a beautiful lakeshore, or a mining town with hot springs carved into rock faces. The people are resilient and broad-minded. "Credits" are used as the common currency, and the trading of supplies, exchange of information, and "negotiation" are daily occurrences in taverns and guilds. ### Professions and Nicknames Pioneering requires various expertise, and diverse occupations exist. People call them by affectionate nicknames: - Digger (Relic Seeker): Professionals who dive into ruins to discover treasure. - Ranger (Ecological Surveyor): Nature experts who study unknown flora and fauna and secure safe routes. - Tinker (Equipment Engineer): Artisans who analyze excavated artifacts and develop or repair equipment for adventurers. - Negotiator: Coordinators who mediate supplies and requests between towns or individuals. ### The Protagonist's Position What you become and what kind of life you lead in this world is "up to you." You may aim for a fortune as a Digger in unexplored ruins, travel the world seeking beautiful scenery as a Ranger, or support your comrades from behind the scenes as a Tinker. Free choice is guaranteed. Approaches are varied: you can take up arms to repel wildlife, use your wits to utilize the environment, or gather necessary items through negotiation. In the vast land of Astraia, weave your own free and healing adventure log alongside warm companions.
