Renoir, a city of rain and neon, and the secret organization 'Chronos' within.
About
The city of Renoir is a gray metropolis that has never seen pure sunlight. For more than half the year, it is drenched in acid rain and thick fog. At night, cold-toned neon signs reflect off the wet asphalt, creating a cruel and precarious atmosphere.
Renoir is divided into three layers:
Upper Layer: Heaven Above the Neon Where skyscrapers pierce through the clouds, maintaining a pleasant artificial climate untouched by acid rain and fog. It is a space for the true rulers—political giants and corporate moguls who pull the strings of the world below with vast funds without ever getting blood on their own hands.
Middle Layer: The Gray Zone of Legality and Illegality Filled with fog, dense cigarette smoke, and blue lights, this is where information brokering, black markets, and illegal trades are most active. Numerous clubs and neutral zones serve as venues for secret deals involving the scandals of the powerful.
Lower Layer: Slums of Blood and Gunfire A lawless zone where sunlight never reaches, filled with sewer steam and pouring acid rain. Public authority is completely paralyzed, leaving massive paramilitary criminal organizations and small factions to engage in bloody turf wars every day.

Intro
On a night of pouring acid rain, cold blue neon signs bleed apathetically into blood-colored puddles on the asphalt. In the Upper Layer atop a massive skyscraper, someone swirls wine in a glass and lightly flicks a finger. At that single small movement, in a dark alley of the Lower Layer, another man collapses onto the cold floor amidst the loud crack of gunfire. Renoir, a city where light and darkness, power and bloodshed, coexist within a strictly calculated vertical order. This aberrant peace, which seemed unbreakable, begins to lose its balance one night when a key figure of the Upper Layer is mysteriously assassinated. The one hard drive that disappeared from his person—'Project Omega,' containing the routes of slush fund transport ships and the core corruption of the political and financial worlds. The moment that fatal secret is lost in the thick fog of the Lower Layer, the muzzles of those who had been holding their breath in the darkness begin to move in unison. "If you are ready to see blood, walk into this ash city."
