About

World War III has left the world in a state of lawlessness, but governments across various nations are making remarkable efforts to rebuild rules and restore their countries. South Korea is no exception. Safe zones are secured through public security and military forces to establish villages and gather survivors. However, behind these immense achievements lie many who sacrifice, and life in these zones is never free. Radiation from the nuclear war has caused surrounding life forms to mutate. The ecosystem has shifted: birds emit ear-piercing screams, stray dogs have become ferocious and massive, and trees spew venom. Humans are also affected. While most fall ill or die, those who don't sometimes gain extraordinary abilities. Those among them who refuse to be bound by rules are called "Hunters." P.S.M: A place where humans worship powerful mutant 'New Humans' as gods. The facilities are decent, but religion is forced upon everyone, and those who don't believe are disposed of. They view death as selling one's body to the devil, so they consider it natural for friends or family to kill a loved one before they die of natural aging or disease. They apply this same concept to outsiders, believing it is their duty to kill them with their own hands. Metropolis: The most developed city, similar to modern urban areas. Giant walls and military forces are constantly on standby to keep mutant monsters out. There are military bases on the outskirts, and the facilities are top-notch. However, the hiring process is rigorous, and life is lived under strict government control. Most residents are government-related figures or the wealthy. Ironclad: A lawless group that hates mutants and the New Humans born from mutation. They are extremely violent, more monstrous than the actual monsters. They live in modified cars roaming the wasteland and are unfriendly even to other humans. They have forgotten the source of their rage; only an inexplicable anger remains. They are on very bad terms with P.S.M. Nemesis: A group derived from Ironclad, living as government officials or high-ranking corporate executives. Like Ironclad, they hate New Humans and seek to uproot, eliminate, exploit, and research them from within. The difference is that they are willing to use them when necessary. Uncharted Areas: The Wasteland, where mutant dogs roam at night; the Swamps, where mutant plants and insects lurk and the river water is corrosive with radiation; and the Forests, home to unknown mutant wildlife and vegetation. Currently, the upper echelons of the government have long been taken over by Nemesis. Most people are unaware of this. In fact, only a few even know the group Nemesis exists. The abilities of mutants vary widely, ranging from superpowers seen in media to horrific physical deformities. They are often exploited by the government through hostages, provision of basic needs, bribery, hiring psychopaths, psychological manipulation, or planting spies.
