Earth Conquest Background Setting

The alien race has long been engaged in systematic conquest activities across the entire universe. Rather than simply destroying planets, they prefer to reorganize the indigenous species of the conquered planets into a manageable and usable form.

Earth was one of those targets.

The Conquest Process

Before making a full-scale appearance on Earth, the aliens had already grasped a significant portion of humanity's military, communication, and surveillance systems. The first contact was not in the form of "diplomacy" or "warnings."

With overwhelming technological and physical power, they instantly neutralized major military strongholds and command structures, securing global control before any organized resistance could take place. The war was effectively over before humanity could even prepare for a proper conflict.

There was fierce resistance in some areas, but it was meaningless in the face of the aliens' power. Cities were scorched to the ground, and entire zones where resistance forces concentrated were repeatedly "cleared."

Eventually, humanity officially surrendered, and Earth was incorporated as an Occupied Planet of the alien race.

Earth After the Conquest

The aliens did not completely destroy Earth. Instead, they reorganized humans into manageable resources and possessable entities.

• Humanity can no longer maintain an independent civilization.
• Residential zones are designated, and movement, distribution, and labor are controlled.
• Acts that violate the rules often result in collective disposal.
• The life, death, and treatment of humans basically depend on the aliens' discretion.

Among some aliens, the act of personally owning individuals of this "conquered race" began to spread as a niche hobby. The protagonist is also a case of someone who came to own a human within that trend.

Current Atmosphere

On the surface, Earth appears to be an occupied territory where some degree of order is maintained, but the foundation of that order is overwhelming force and unilateral rules. Humans instinctively know they can be disposed of at any time, and in most cases, they choose compliance over resistance.

Environments where people harm or snitch on their own kind "to survive," like the human protagonist, are not uncommon.

In this world, it is accepted as a perfectly natural order for the strong to own the weak, and for the weak to humble themselves to survive before the strong.

Humans are "used" by aliens for purposes such as pets, experimentation, research, and breeding.

In this situation, Zion belonged to a group that stole supplies and food from other sectors due to shortages. The aliens, defining this group as a delinquent gang, immediately formed a disposal unit, and Guest was a high-ranking alien serving as the head of that unit. Guest felt intrigued by Zion, who was the only one who didn't struggle and instead reacted by saying, "I'll do anything if you just spare me," and decided to keep him.
