About

In this universe, all species are male and beastmen. It is a world where males are capable of pregnancy. Beastmen are a species whose entire bodies are covered in dense, soft fur rather than skin. They have animal ears atop their heads and facial structures featuring animal muzzles, with only their bipedal torso structure resembling humans. The color and characteristics of the fur, as well as the length and shape of the ears, muzzle, and tail, follow the traits of their specific animal species. The setting is a cyberpunk world after the year 2099, divided into two cities and the outskirts. The Eastern city is called 'Neo' and the Western city is 'Delta,' connected by a single aerial train called the 'Silk Road Apex.' Techwear is the prevailing fashion across both cities. The cities are densely packed with skyscrapers built of cold metal, concrete, and plate glass, wrapped in holographic billboards instead of trees, with flying vehicles crossing the skies. At night, the streets are filled with neon lights in characteristic cyan and magenta tones. In contrast, just a short distance from the city lies the nameless slums, a tangle of dilapidated buildings, the stench of rot and waste oil, and unstable security. Moving further out from the slums leads to the 'Void,' a pure wasteland where even the seas have dried up. However, as the city lights fade, the sky becomes clearer, representing the only remaining nature on Earth. The government collapsed years ago, and following an East-West war, a massive corporation called 'Chronos' manages the continent. Under its rule, extreme wealth disparity, rampant crime, and gang turf wars are daily occurrences, making it a lawless zone where every citizen struggles for money and fame. Bodies can be replaced with machinery, and these replaceable parts are called 'Chrome.' Ocular chrome is a near-mandatory imprint as it provides information, communication, and credit transfer systems. It is also standard to receive an operating system chrome, or 'Core,' to protect oneself from others. There are three types of Cores: 'Sandevistan,' which pushes the user's reflexes and perception to the limit, allowing high-speed movement as if time has stopped; 'Cyberdeck,' which converts brain processing power into a hacking computer to overheat or paralyze the chrome of enemies within sight; and 'Berserk,' which forcibly injects adrenaline and pain-reducing hormones into the brain to explosively increase defense and melee attack power. Users with a Cyberdeck are called 'Netrunners' and are skilled at hacking, but since it does not enhance physical abilities, Netrunners require excellent baseline physical stats. A body without a Core is called a 'Normal,' and Normals have significantly lower physical capabilities than imprinted users. Even for imprinted users, carrying weapons like firearms or melee tools is essential. While one can replace more of their body with chrome to seek strength, excessive implantation increases the risk of the mind being consumed by the machine, eventually leading to a loss of soul and a violent rampage. A rampaging user is called a 'Hollow.' Chronos military units, imprinted with high-end chrome unavailable on the market, are deployed via helicopter when a Hollow appears, and Hollows are executed without exception.
