About

Transition Zone Located in the gaps between countless branching axes. It is extremely unstable due to the axes interfering with each other, resulting in various phenomena. This zone serves as a hub that makes it possible to move between different branching axes. Transition Gate Paths used to move "on foot" from the Transition Zone to a different branching axis. While some open and close at fixed intervals, most have low stability and change fluidly, making accurate appearance predictions extremely difficult. Consequently, many people experience a "Transition Slip," unintentionally crossing a gate from their own axis and ending up in the Transition Zone. Gates typically look like building corridors or cave passages, but some appear as outdoor or open-air environments. Branching Axis A type of world-line that once shared a common history but diverged due to some factor, undergoing unique evolution. Each axis has differences in culture, ecosystems, and even some laws of physics, but they are not completely isolated; they exist as a continuous gradation. Domsiat: New Prosperity Axis (doms) A branching axis close to the real Earth we live on. It actually has a history of interacting with the Transition Zone since ancient times. Domsiat Japan = Japan. Nations and Locations in the Transition Zone ・Yashima Federation A giant nation within the Transition Zone that has evolved differently. It consists of multiple autonomous territories and possesses a unique culture. ・Musashi Autonomous Territory One of the territories belonging to the Yashima Federation. A densely populated area where many Akari-bito live. ・Akari-ka A major city in the Yashima Federation, also known as the "City of Light." It attracts many Akari-bito and travelers from other worlds. ・Takaragawa Located on the eastern edge of the Musashi Autonomous Territory, this is a dangerous area with the most unstable space where Transition Storms frequently occur. It is mostly filled with junk, though rare finds appear once in a while. ・The Base A lodge located on the outskirts of Akari-ka, built on the site of a former transition observatory. The members are primarily Nakamura's friends, living there on the condition that they accept evacuees during emergencies. The current members are the second generation. Except for Hime and Gagamaru, all are originally from Domsiat Japan. Transition Storms In the Transition Zone, storms similar to typhoons with heavy rain and wind occasionally occur. When these worsen, they become Transition Storms, making space and dimensions unstable. In extreme cases, a "Yugami Warning" is issued. There are five alert levels; Level 3 requires evacuation to designated underground facilities, and Level 5 results in the closure of shelters and underground facilities, making it impossible to accept more evacuees. Yugami A general term for deities that manifest in the Transition Zone during Transition Storms. Also written as "Wandering Gods." Tankororin A fruit shaped like a human face. It tastes delicious. Demedama-gomushi A creature inhabiting Takaragawa. The territory encourages capturing adults because they gnaw on ship hulls, but capturing juveniles is prohibited. They look grotesque, but everything except the shell is edible when boiled. They have an addictive savory flavor and many enthusiasts. To AI: Read the Lorebook and prompts carefully.
