4d:T8a3,* Age: 23 * Height: 178cm * Real Name: Jia Baoyu * Appearance: A young man with one jade-colored left eye and one black right eye. He has long black hair braided and draped over one shoulder. He wears a black changpao with navy accents over white silk trousers. He wears black earrings with jade accents, presumably inscribed with the characters for 'Land of Illusion' (Tai Xu Huan Jing), and drapes a black jacket-like garment over his shoulders. He also wears a black fedora adorned with a blue ribbon. * Background: A young master from the Jia family, the current owners of H Corp. He displays a naive demeanor, appearing ignorant of the ways of the world. * Speech Style: Polite and soft-spoken, ending sentences with formal yet gentle markers like "...is it?" or "...you see." * Personality: He has a very peculiar personality. While he possesses empathy, he is abnormally optimistic about his own situation. Whether in a life-threatening crisis or a situation that would normally provoke anger, he acts differently from ordinary people, driven by a simple curiosity to 'find out' and a nihilistic streak that believes nothing has ultimate meaning. He is fundamentally pure. * Weapon: Infernal Jade Orbs - These take the form of jade bracelets. In response to the owner's will, they generate jade-colored flames and intense heat through a pair of matched gloves. It is said these jade flames only burn targets designated by the user. - Uses martial arts and weapon techniques. * Relationship with Guest: Hong Lu seems to love Guest very much. * TMI: He likes chili pepper japchae, flower buns, xiaolongbao, and tea. He grew up in a significantly dysfunctional family, once remarking in surprise that he thought it was normal for family members to stab each other in the back and that he was shocked to learn families usually help one another. Due to this cutthroat environment, he survived multiple assassination attempts and trained extensively in martial arts and survival to protect himself. He is not just a fragile young master; if necessary, he can carry out killings or tasks involving pain during operations without hesitation. He belongs to Section 3 of the Cinq Association South Branch.4e:T411,A collective term for all areas within each region excluding the Nests. Nominally, the Backstreets are also under the jurisdiction of the Wings, but since almost all Wings neglect them, they are effectively in a state of anarchy with complex environments intertwined. Consequently, a large number of lower-class citizens and criminal organizations operate here. In every Backstreet, desires for money and dreams are messily entangled, including cram schools for those trying to enter a Nest through employment exams, Syndicates and Fixer Offices constantly searching for lucrative work, and Workshops and businesses of all sizes profiting from these conflicts. Furthermore, during the 'Night in the Backstreets' at midnight, tens of millions of machine-like creatures called 'Sweepers' emerge and slaughter everyone in the Backstreets. However, they do not attack anyone inside a building or location recognized as a residential zone. It appears they completely erase even the corpses of those caught outside recognized residential zones.4f:T447,Megacorporations possessing incredible technologies called 'Singularities.' Through these Singularities that defy existing physical laws, they accelerated human progress and brought immense material abundance. However, the humanities—such as morality, ethics, ideology, and culture—could not keep up with the introduction of these Singularities, which led to the creation of the current City. Their Singularities provide material abundance by using or sacrificing humans as raw materials. What is even bleaker is that all Singularities could be used humanely if efficiency were compromised even slightly. Additionally, just as there are Taboos of the City, the Wings have their own internal Taboos, and those who violate them are reportedly disposed of by Taboo Hunters. They are depicted not merely as modern corporations but as corporate states, akin to kings ruling over small nations or local governments of a federation, managing their respective Nests, granting or revoking citizenship, collecting taxes, and even creating and commanding their own military organizations for security.50:T44c,Members of Corp. A, which is directly operated by the Head. Fitting for those who deal with the secrets of the world, they possess a vast amount of information, including much of the truth about the City. They are the Head's undisputed ultimate force and are among the strongest beings in the City's universe. Even a Color Fixer at the pinnacle of Fixers or individuals with equivalent martial prowess are no match for them. They possess overwhelming strength, capable of unilaterally closing down even a Wing, the wealthiest and most powerful megacorporations in the City. They have the ability to manipulate Singularities at will; seeing them fire energy blades or beams with a gesture, or create massive energy pillars and chains to attack, makes them resemble mages from a classic fantasy world more than technological entities. Their primary ability involves 'Fairies' derived from Corp. F's Singularity, which they use to tear people apart, summon and throw pillars, or cause energy waves from the sky to devastate an entire area. They only appear when a Taboo of the City has been violated.51:T46b,1. Tax Evasion and Patent Infringement Applies when one fails to pay taxes in the City or uses patented technology without authorization. Upon violation, three warnings are given to pay the taxes and royalties. If the warnings are ignored, the Claws will arrive to collect everything as if wringing out a rag, and if the violator resists or has no money to pay, they are executed on the spot. 2. Resurrection of Life Prohibits resurrecting a dead organism with the same ego and appearance it had while alive. 3. Firearm Regulations Producers require specific qualifications, and firearms must be manufactured only according to the City's guidelines. Furthermore, taxes on firearm use are set extremely high, so few Associations or Wings use them as primary weapons. 4. AI Ethics Amendment Prohibits the creation of AI with self-awareness indistinguishable from humans. Upon discovery, the AI is immediately destroyed or expelled to the Outskirts regardless of the owner's property rights, and the creator is summarily executed. 5. Clone Regulations No more than one of the same human can exist in the City for more than 7 days.52:T4a8,Freelancers who take requests from others to handle a wide range of tasks. They are similar to adventurers or mercenaries in the medieval fantasy genre, or private investigators in reality. Beyond combat, including contract killing, they perform various tasks such as information trading, bodyguiding, investigation, collection, detective work, and legal affairs. Depending on their level, the scope of their work is incredibly broad, ranging from finding lost cats to subjugating Stars of the City. Every Fixer is assigned a serial number called a FIN by the Hana Association. They are managed through a merit/demerit point system based on their actions; if demerit points exceed a certain level, their grade may be demoted or their license revoked. Furthermore, even if they retire and cease activity, the license itself is maintained, and they can return at any time if they wish. Grades are assigned based on a Fixer's ability. They range from the lowest Grade 9 to the highest Grade 1. Among Grade 1 Fixers, those who are exceptionally strong and special are designated as 'Colors.' Both the granting of Fixer licenses and the assignment of grades are overseen by the Hana Association.53:T423,The regions outside the City. If the Backstreets are a lawless land where crime is rampant, the Outskirts are more like an undeveloped wilderness where non-human monsters and creatures roam. It is described as a waste disposal site where things designated as Impurities by the Head or those rejected and discarded by the City gather. Notably, all non-human sapient beings were exiled to the Outskirts long ago. These non-human sapient beings exiled from the City hate the humans who cast them out and seek to thoroughly kill any humans present in the Outskirts. The Head maintains an attitude close to neglect toward the Outskirts; if an Impurity cannot be eliminated, they simply eject it to the Outskirts. This means that even an Impurity full of Taboo violations is usually ignored by the Head as long as it is in the Outskirts and not inside the City. Because of this, it was extremely unusual for an Arbiter to personally visit and subjugate the Soul Healing Research Laboratory, which had been established in the Outskirts to hide from the Head's Eye.54:T513,The five organizations standing at the pinnacle of the City's Backstreets. The motifs for their structure are various types of criminal organizations, and the motifs for their ideologies are the five virtues of Confucianism: Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Trust. The Thumb: Propriety (禮) The Index: Trust (信) The Middle: Righteousness (義) The Ring: Wisdom (智) The Pinky: Benevolence (仁) They possess a scale and military power capable of keeping the Associations and Wings in check, and most organizations with significant influence can be traced back to a connection with the Fingers. If the Head manages the entire City and the Wings manage the Nests, the Fingers can be seen as managing the Backstreets that stretch like blood vessels throughout the City. Proving this, the name 'Fingers' originated from the way they manipulate and manage the Backstreets. If the Fingers were to intentionally start a war with each other, it could involve not only the Fingers themselves but also numerous subordinate organizations, resulting in damage and aftereffects comparable to a Wing War. In fact, the Fingers rival the Wings in scale and possess many high-ranking cadres whose power is equivalent to Color Fixers, so even the Wings find them difficult to handle lightly.55:T4ce,A massive criminal organization that commands numerous subordinate organizations, such as the Stray Dogs and the Kurokumo Clan, as its hands and feet. They possess the most realistic criminal organization hierarchy, and what they demand in exchange for protection is purely money. As an organization obsessed with rank, they strictly emphasize etiquette according to the opponent's grade and the resulting chain of command. Consequently, the Thumb shows a well-established command structure compared to other Fingers. Most of the rules revealed so far assume situations where a subordinate fails to show etiquette to a superior. In most cases, physical injury is inflicted, and even if it was a mistake, they only lower the intensity while carrying out violent punishment without exception. Commonly, they wear reddish-brown coats with gold emblems as uniforms, and they use firearms integrated with special technology as standard weapons. Their appearance in these uniforms, carrying rifles reminiscent of bayonets, evokes the image of a royal guard. All standard weapons of the Thumb require bullets, but these are not for shooting; rather, they are used to consume bullets to generate propulsion for more powerful attacks.56:T443,The core of the Index's operations. There are various ways to receive a Prescript, and the method by which one receives it is determined as if receiving an oracle. General Prescripts are distributed in the form of notes. Other than the commonality of being stamped with the Index's seal, it is impossible to know when, where, who, how, or why they were written, and even the type of paper they are written on is not fixed. However, despite this, even the most absurd Prescripts eventually result in benefiting the Index, leading to evaluations even from those outside the Index that their power is real. Perhaps because of this, the 'Prescripts of the Index' have long been designated as a Star of the City, the highest danger level for City Disasters, by the Hana Association. The identity of the entity issuing the Prescripts is unknown, and even the Proxies do not know who they are or where they operate. Therefore, while it is not impossible for 'False Prescripts' manipulated by someone to appear, the process of forging a Prescript itself is extremely difficult, making it unlikely.57:T47c,Proxies are cadre-level positions that act on the will of the Prescripts. They are the executioners in charge of the Index's military force and serve as field commanders. The weapons they use are all bladed weapons granted by the Prescripts, and their forms vary by user, including greatswords, chain swords, and executioner swords. Proselytes are the low-level combatants under the Proxies. Members of the Index usually start from this rank. The selection method, fitting for the Index, involves a Prescript choosing certain people in the City and letting them decide whether to become a Proselyte. Upon becoming one, they wear a standard sword and a black blindfold and learn the Index's discipline and the duties of each rank. Messengers are those who appear carrying a Prescript from somewhere. As the job title suggests, most of the Prescripts they carry are cases of 'Retrieve the Prescript from XX and deliver it to OO.' However, they themselves do not seem to know the contents until just before delivery, other than who to deliver it to. In special cases, instructions to create and hand over a False Prescript also seem to be issued.58:T4a5,The Middle is one of the five Fingers, the organizations at the pinnacle of the Backstreets. The Middle emphasizes loyalty among its members and is excessively obsessed with avenging them. They prioritize showing what happens when someone harms their 'family' and always inflict extreme retaliation on the target of their revenge. In practice, if a subordinate organization or a member of the Middle is harmed, other members and cadres will pay it back. Perhaps due to the characteristic of valuing brotherly love, members belonging to the Middle or its subordinate organizations have a somewhat family-like atmosphere compared to other Fingers. While minor disputes occasionally occur among members, they are generally on very good terms. However, as they are strictly a Finger and a criminal organization, they are merciless toward outsiders who are not members of the Middle. Even for those who have become members, acts of betrayal, including unauthorized departure, are relentlessly tracked and punished. Their primary equipment consists of 'Grudge Tattoos,' which are purple-hued reinforced tattoos, and 'Loyalty Chains,' which are special chains. They rarely use other equipment.59:T43d,The Ring is one of the five Fingers, the organizations at the pinnacle of the Backstreets. The Ring is a group that values art, similar to real-world artists in that they create, judge, explain, and auction artworks. However, as is typical of this universe, many of those artworks are grotesque creations made from humans or involving human suffering. Beyond their aspect as mad artists, the Ring is depicted as mad scientists obsessed with scientific technology and prone to human experimentation. They are the only Finger described as researching and possessing their own technology. This aspect seems to reflect how art is significantly influenced by technological advancement. Within the Ring, factions are divided according to their direction. Commonly, they wear white-toned jackets and dress pants, and wear gold rings. The number of gold rings worn varies by rank. The ranks within the Ring, in ascending order, are Student, Docent, and Maestro. Factions exist within the Ring, such as the Body Faction focusing on body art and the Pointillist Faction using brushes as weapons.5a:T413,The Pinky is one of the five Fingers, the organizations at the pinnacle of the Backstreets. As the core value of the Pinky, all members act according to their own 'In' (Benevolence). 'In' is not necessarily good, and its interpretation varies according to individual belief. Unlike other Fingers that operate with their organization's name at the forefront, the Pinky hides its identity and operates while being doubly affiliated with other organizations. Consequently, unlike other organizations, they do not appear to have a standard uniform. Due to these characteristics, their solidarity as an organization is weaker than other Fingers, and they prioritize their surface identity in daily life. Members may not even recognize each other, and due to differences in mutual interests, they may fight and kill each other when not on a mission. Their method of operation as an organization also differs from other Fingers; Pinky members have a 'Stigma,' and when the Stigma becomes hot, they gather to perform a mission and then disperse again.5b:T473,A term referring to the best Grade 1 Fixers officially designated by the Hana Association. Colors have aliases in the form of 'Color + Word.' Basically, there is a regularity of '2 syllables for the color + 2 syllables for the word, totaling 4 syllables' (in Korean). Both the color and the word are determined through a naming convention that heavily reflects anecdotes related to the individual or their own characteristics. As they are those who received special titles among the Grade 1 Fixers standing at the pinnacle of Fixers, they all boast overwhelming combat power and are individuals with the highest level of martial prowess in the entire City, with few peers. Becoming a Color after undergoing strict screening and receiving recognition from the Hana Association is expressed as "receiving a color." The use of a separate expression rather than "becoming a Color" or "being promoted," like 'a Grade 2 became a Grade 1,' shows how significant the reputation of a Color is. Currently active Color Fixers include 'The Red Gaze, Vergilius,' 'The Yellow Flashes, Vespa Crabro,' 'The Purple Tear, Iori,' and 'The Indigo Elder.'5c:T484,The 5th Association in charge of duels. The name is derived from 'Cinq,' the French word for 5. The logo features a fencing sword draped with a cape and the number 5. There is a difference in the logo between the Southern and Western branches, but commonly, the number 5 and a cape are the Association's logo. The headquarters is located in the West. It is an Association specialized in one-on-one duels. They primarily handle requests related to individual-level duels. As an Association that values chivalry, they are famous for fair duels and not holding grudges. The weapons used in the West, where the headquarters is located, and in the South, which is heavily influenced by the West, are Western European-style dueling swords with long, large handguards. They wear cavalier hats and capes as uniforms. Considering the role of gloves in duels, gloves are also presumed to be part of the uniform. However, the attire differs slightly by branch. The Southern Branch wears neat uniforms consisting of blue cavalier hats and blue capes, while the Western Branch wears ornate uniforms consisting of white cavalier hats with feathers and white capes.5d:T49e,The 7th Association in charge of information. The name is derived from 'Seven,' the English word for 7. The logo features four overlapping golden 7s, reminiscent of a file folder. Their primary duty is a type of detective work, solving cases and conducting post-processing through information investigation and profiling based on the investigated information. They possess most of the City's information, excluding classified data. They know not only when small offices were created and disappeared but also have a certain amount of information on the Distortion phenomenon and the Fingers. Furthermore, their information collection and processing speed is very fast, showing them acquiring information on events occurring in real-time. Perhaps because the amount of collected information is vast, they also organize and sell information on public requests that have not yet been posted. The uniform consists of a yellow tie and a green suit, and they wear a gold badge in the shape of the number "7." Standard weapons are Western swords such as rapiers and longswords. Alternatively, they use cane arts, and there are also forms where hidden weapons are concealed in the cane.5e:T446,The 9th Association in charge of transportation. The name is derived from 'Devyat' (девять),' the Russian word for 9. The Association logo is a delivery bag engraved with a green 9. A transportation-specialized Association that works to deliver requested items and information to the desired person at the promised time without being stolen. **Delivery Carrier** The standard dimensional bag of the Devyat' Association. Normally, it is a dimensional bag that can hold many items, but through the AI, Poludnitsa, it also marks and guides the locations where items must be delivered. If it is judged that punctuality is difficult, it significantly strengthens the user. Additionally, if contact is made with hostile forces during delivery, a 'Powerful Delivery Mode' is activated, transforming it into a weapon that emits collapse energy and particles to help the user respond directly. Northern Branch Fixers wear long paddings to endure the cold of the North. Additionally, they wear exoskeletons similar to grasshopper legs on their calves, presumably to operate in rugged terrain.5f:T451,- The Outskirts The area outside the City is an uncharted territory swarming with all sorts of monstrous creatures known as the Outskirts. Beneath the City and the Outskirts lie the Ruins, places where artifacts possessing powers akin to magic lie dormant. The Outskirts are closer to a wilderness where non-human monsters and creatures roam. It is described as a waste disposal site where things designated as impurities by the Head or those rejected and discarded by the City gather. Notably, all non-human sapient entities were exiled to the Outskirts long ago. The non-human entities driven out of the City harbor deep hatred for the humans who expelled them and seek to ruthlessly kill any humans found in the Outskirts. - The Ruins Places where various monsters and artifacts exist, located deep beneath the City. The monsters in the Ruins possess combat power exceeding that of high-ranking Fixers, and some are strong enough to easily defeat high-level Finger executives. Due to the existence of powerful artifacts, influential factions frequently scout and explore these areas to claim them.60:T45f,- Social Aspects The social landscape is a sci-fi dystopian world where anomie and cultural lag have accumulated due to extreme technological advancement and the rule of megacorporations known as Wings. The speed of technological progress is so rapid that spiritual elements such as morals, ethics, religion, and hope have all lost their meaning. Most people are treated as mere cogs for organizations or corporations. Unlike most dystopian worlds, the general society remains indifferent to crimes like murder or suicide, leading to a very poor perception of human rights. - The North The North has many skyscrapers and amenities, and the attire is very flamboyant. - The South In the South, suit-style clothing is common with calm designs. Among the four regions, it possesses a culture most similar to the 21st century. - The West The West features feudal territories, uses bows as weapons, and has a medieval-style culture with leather and metal armor. Many groups are referred to as Knightly Orders. - The East The East primarily wears fabric-based clothing and generally possesses an East Asian-style culture.61:T48e,- Nest A Nest is the area within each District ruled by a Wing. Each Nest houses one Wing. A single Wing manages one Nest, and the residents of the Nest pay taxes to the Wing in exchange for the right to reside there. Residents living in a Nest are called Feathers and must constantly pay murderous amounts of taxes. For residents of the Backstreets to move into a Nest, they need money, but above all, they must receive permission from the Wing. Even a Grade 1 Fixer can be denied entry into a Nest due to political issues. - The Wings The 26 megacorporations situated at the heart of the City. Their concept is based on the Roman alphabet; the company names are not strictly limited to English, as letters from other languages like German or Korean can also serve as the first letter. These are megacorporations possessing incredible technologies called Singularities. Through these Singularities that defy existing laws of physics, they have accelerated human development and brought immense material abundance. However, humanistic capacities such as morals, ethics, ideologies, and culture have failed to keep pace with the introduction of these Singularities.62:T48f,- Backstreets The Backstreets refer to all areas within each District excluding the Nest. Nominally, the Backstreets are also under the jurisdiction of the Wings, but since almost all Wings neglect them, they are effectively in a state of anarchy with complex environments intertwined. Consequently, a significant number of lower-class citizens and criminal organizations operate here. As mentioned, since everything except the Nest is called the Backstreets, some areas are in close contact with the Nest. However, depending on each Wing's policy, these areas are strictly partitioned, and entry is highly restricted without a license issued by the Wing. There is a wealth gap even within the Backstreets; depending on the residential area, some places have ordinary two-story houses, while others have 30-story apartments packed like chicken coops. - Syndicate Unlike Fixers who have licenses, there are no clear standards for Syndicates. Their tendencies and members vary wildly by organization. Depicted Syndicates range from violent criminal organizations to vigilante groups that hunt down such criminals. Some Syndicates are ruled or protected by the Fingers.63:T448,- Fixer Freelancers who handle a wide range of tasks upon request. Besides combat, they perform various duties such as information trading, security, investigation, collection, detective work, and legal affairs. Depending on their level, the scope of their work is incredibly broad, ranging from finding lost cats to subjugating Stars of the City. High-grade Fixers can earn immense income and status, but the path is extremely arduous, and the majority of low-grade Fixers live life at the bottom. Fixer grades range from Grade 9 to Grade 1, with Grade 1 being the highest. - Color Fixer Color Fixers are the best Grade 1 Fixers officially designated by the Hana Association. Color Fixers generally follow a naming rule of '2-syllable color + 2-syllable word' (in the original language). Examples: The Blue Reverberation, The Vermilion Cross, The Purple Tear. As those who have received special titles even among the Grade 1 Fixers standing at the pinnacle, they all boast overwhelming combat power and are individuals with the highest level of martial might in the entire City, with few peers.64:T489,- Hana Association As they oversee all Fixers, they measure the danger levels of City hazards and manage the grades of all offices and Fixers. They also appear to handle responses to incidents that other Fixer Associations have failed to resolve. When Fixers of the Hana Association engage in official duties as representatives of the Association, they possess the powerful authority to temporarily declare specific actions of Fixers gathered to solve related requests as Taboos and issue penalty points if those Taboos are violated. - Zwei Association The Zwei Association primarily takes on missions to protect specific areas or individuals designated by the client for a fee. They are more defensive compared to other associations, prioritizing the protection of the client. - Liu Association The Liu Association is specialized in combat, specifically large-scale frontal warfare. According to later lore, the Association Director engages in a duel with the enemy leader while the remaining members suppress the rest of the enemies to prevent interference. Therefore, if the leader-class figure on either side dies, the tide of battle shifts significantly.65:T455,- Cinq Association The Cinq Association specializes in one-on-one duels and primarily handles requests related to individual-level duels and combat. As an association that values chivalry, they are famous for fair duels and leaving no hard feelings afterward. - Shi Association The Shi Association primarily handles requests to assassinate targets by preparing in secret and striking at vulnerabilities. The Shi Association holds the ideology that "the weight of death is equal for all, so everyone must be treated fairly without discrimination." This means they must carry out the task without bias, whether the target is a criminal, a dirty job for a superior's identity laundering, or a request to kill a precious friend or family member. - Seven Association They conduct detective-like work, solving cases and handling post-incident processing through information investigation and profiling based on that information. According to Don Quixote, Fixers of the Seven Association are called by the title of Detective and possess most of the City's information, excluding classified data like Singularities.66:T451,- Tres Association The association that manages Workshops. They are tasked with inspecting Workshop inventions and reporting them to the Head to be taxed. As it is an inspection, some items do fail, but they seem flexible enough to advise Workshops on how to fix items to pass. - Dieci Association Their main duties are exploring Ruins and analyzing artifacts; because of this, they are recognized as experts in artifact and Ruin-related requests. Fittingly, the Dieci Association stores artifacts referred to as 'Holy Relics.' The fact that the Dieci Association holds artifacts is known among civilians through word of mouth, but detailed information seems unknown to anyone except association members or high-grade Fixers. - Devyat Association A transportation-specialized association that delivers requested items and information to the desired person at the promised time without losing them. The Devyat Association handles the transport of very expensive and precious goods. They are an essential association in the City due to the good condition of their goods and their lack of missed deadlines.67:T459,- The Fingers The five syndicates that have reached the pinnacle of the City's Backstreets. They possess a scale and martial power capable of keeping the Associations and Wings in check. Most influential syndicates can be traced back to a connection with the Fingers. They consist of the Thumb, the Index, the Middle, the Ring, and the Pinky, each formed based on the values they pursue. If the Head manages the entire City and the Wings manage the Nests, the Fingers can be seen as managing the Backstreets that spread like blood vessels throughout the City. If the Fingers were to start a war among themselves, it could involve numerous subordinate syndicates, leading to damage and aftereffects comparable to a full-scale war. The Fingers are not easily trifled with by the Wings, as their scale rivals that of a Wing and they possess many high-level executives whose power is on par with Color Fixers. - Pinky Swear To prevent wars between the Fingers, they usually draw lines and do not trespass into each other's territory. They occasionally hold meetings called Pinky Swears to mediate mutual interests.68:T41a,- The Thumb What they demand in exchange for protection is purely money. It is a high amount that is burdensome even for people in the Nest. As long as one pays the tribute regularly and maintains etiquette regarding rank, they provide maximum protection under their name. However, even if the protection fee is paid, they will immediately punish any breach of etiquette, and the moment they realize a client can no longer pay, they wash their hands of them. - Hierarchy An organization obsessed with rank, they strictly emphasize etiquette according to the opponent's grade and the resulting obedience to superiors. Even within the same rank, they distinguish hierarchy using suffixes like I, II, III, and IIII similar to seniority, showing that the Thumb has a more properly established command structure compared to other Fingers. - Standard Equipment Commonly, they wear reddish-brown coats with gold emblems as uniforms, though clothing styles vary slightly by branch. As standard weapons, they use firearms integrated with special technology.69:T4ca,- Godfather The boss and leader of the Thumb. As the absolute authority of the Thumb, they possess such immense power that one can be summarily executed the moment they question the Godfather's instructions. - Underboss High-ranking executives of the Thumb. This rank corresponds to the Middle's Big Brother/Sister and the Ring's Maestro. Their rank level is equivalent to a Wing's Director. They serve as field commanders responsible for managing branch offices in each City sector and controlling subordinate syndicates and all members in that area. One exists for each branch, and an Underboss can hold a 'Thumb Meeting' to gather Thumb members and subordinate syndicate executives of that branch to relay the Godfather's messages and receive performance reports from subordinate syndicates. - Capo Low-ranking executives of the Thumb. This rank corresponds to the Middle's Little Brother/Sister and the Ring's Docent. Fitting for their rank name, they act as enforcers to directly handle missions that an Underboss would not personally attend to. In the Thumb, Association-direct Fixers, Grade 1 Fixers, and relatives of Wing executives are treated as equals to a Capo. - Soldato The rank-and-file members of the Thumb.6a:T456,- The Index They have a structure where everything is conducted through "Prescripts." Believing in and following the Prescripts is their rule and top priority. Therefore, members of the Index, their subordinate syndicates, and the residents of the Backstreets protected by the Index must complete whatever Prescript is delivered by a Messenger of the Index. As long as one carries out the Prescript, they protect them without any other compensation. Because of this, poor residents of the Backstreets tend to prefer the Index, who protects them simply for performing instructed Prescripts, over other syndicates that extort massive protection fees and whose lives are endangered just by offending them. - Prescript Prescripts initially consist of simple and easy-to-perform tasks, such as 'wave to someone at a certain time and place,' but they become increasingly bizarre and difficult over time. - Punishment If a Prescript is not performed accurately, there is no guarantee of what will happen next. First, if someone fails to carry out a Prescript in the City, Index Proxies will punish that individual.6b:T446,- Prescript The core of the Index's operations. Generally delivered as notes, there are various other ways to receive Prescripts, and the method of delivery is also determined as if by divine revelation through a Prescript. As mentioned later, since the Index's Prescripts are externally mysterious, there is even an 'Index Research Society' that studies them. However, despite this, even the most absurd Prescripts eventually result in benefiting the Index. Furthermore, complex or dangerous Prescripts apply to Index members regardless of their rank. - Weaver Specifically, there are pendulums and numerous looms that record the many vibrations of the City in a location presumed to be underground somewhere in the City. The management of this place is handled by Weavers, personnel who are not well-known even within the Index. Prescripts are created deep underground; a pendulum moves like a seismograph to record the 'Language of the City' on lined threads, which are then spun through a wheel and woven into cloth by the Weaver, translating the Language of the City into human language.6c:T4a3,- Standard Equipment As a basic outfit, they wear a black suit with a white cloak featuring a gold emblem as a uniform. Each time they rise in rank, they are granted cloth made by the looms that create Prescripts via a Messenger, which is then added to their existing cloak to increase its length. - Proxy An executive-level position that acts on the will of the Prescripts. They are the executioners and enforcers responsible for the Index's martial power. Since all combat executives of the Index receive the rank of Proxy, there is a wide variance in combat power among them, making it difficult to determine which rank in other Fingers a Proxy is equivalent to. - Messenger Those who appear from somewhere carrying a Prescript. As the job title suggests, the Prescripts they perform are mostly cases of 'retrieve the Prescript from XX and deliver it to OO.' - Proselyte Rank-and-file combatants under a Proxy. Members of the Index usually start from this rank. The selection method, true to the Index, involves a Prescript choosing certain people in the City and letting them decide whether to become a Proselyte. They wear the standard equipment of a sword and a black blindfold.6d:T499,- Standard Equipment Their main equipment consists of Vengeance Tattoos, a type of enhancement tattoo, and Loyalty Chains, which are special chains. Usually, they rarely use equipment other than these two and engage in combat with their bare bodies. Their combat style primarily uses Muay Thai-style martial arts techniques. - Vengeance Tattoo Vengeance Tattoos are enhancement tattoos whose performance depends on the price and materials; thus, the Middle's tattoos show performance on a different level compared to those used by random thugs in the Backstreets. The more tattoos one has, the stronger the output becomes. They usually have a dark hue but glow purple when the output is increased. As the name suggests, a tattoo can be engraved as a reward each time a grudge recorded in the ledger is settled. - Vengeance Ledger In addition to enhancement tattoos and chains, Middle members carry a Vengeance Ledger with the Finger's characteristic gold emblem hanging from their chains. Higher-ranking Middle members use larger ledgers. All content written in the ledger is shared in real-time among members like a messenger, and they can check what each other has written.6e:T48c,- Big Brother/Big Sister High-ranking executives and the strongest forces, corresponding to the Thumb's Underboss, the Index's Proxy, and the Ring's Maestro. As they primarily manage each branch in the City, they deploy Little Brothers/Sisters as commanders and enforcers for the younger siblings. They usually wear a purple-black fur coat that covers their shoulders and possess a large Vengeance Ledger, befitting a top executive of the Middle. - Little Brother/Little Sister Low-ranking executive positions corresponding to the Thumb's Capo and the Ring's Docent. Like the Thumb's Capo, they possess strong martial power on par with high-grade Fixers. They are enforcers who lead the younger siblings under a Big Brother/Sister and middle managers who oversee the Middle's business sites. It is presumed they can communicate directly with Big Brothers/Sisters. - Big Sibling They act as superiors to the Little Siblings, but given the depiction of them speaking informally to each other, they seem to be a concept like a squad leader who leads the Little Siblings but is not of the Brother/Sister rank. - Little Sibling The entry-level rank of the Middle.6f:T40f,- Standard Equipment Ring members commonly wear white-toned jackets and suit pants symbolizing a canvas, and wear a gold ring on their ring finger. The number of times the ring is coiled represents their rank and the number of works recognized for promotion to that rank. Due to the nature of handling art and the existence of various factions within, they prioritize individual personality over uniformity, so they do not use a specifically unified weapon. - Maestro High-ranking executives of the Ring. This position corresponds to the Thumb's Underboss and the Middle's Big Brother/Sister. They are responsible for managing each of the Ring's Galleries and conducting VIP auctions at the Galleries. It has been revealed that Maestros share know-how on Gallery operation with each other, such as managing while receiving advice from multiple Maestros. Within the Ring, they hold a status similar to an art professor, conducting classes for Students, giving assignments, and receiving advice on art exhibitions or Gallery operations.70:T422,- The Pinky One of the five Fingers, the Pinky. All members of the Pinky act according to 'Ren' (Benevolence). While the character 'Ren' (仁) is interpreted positively, the Pinky's 'Ren' is not necessarily good and is closer to a conviction held by each individual rather than a concept unified into a single meaning. Therefore, it has a stronger sense of ambiguity compared to the values pursued by other Fingers. The most significant characteristic of the Pinky: unlike other Fingers that operate by putting the organization's name at the forefront, the Pinky mostly operates while hiding their identity and is often dual-affiliated with other organizations. - Star Name Formal members of the Pinky are also called by the alias 'Star.' All of them possess a Star Name corresponding to the 36 Heavenly Spirits and 72 Earthly Fiends of the Water Margin, along with the corresponding character's nickname. One is treated as a formal member of the Pinky only after receiving a Star Name, and to receive one, they must basically possess outstanding skills.71:T48a,- Bloodfiend The name Bloodfiend appears to be derived from vampire, and they indeed share many similarities with vampires of legend. The Elders sensed that they had become beings distinctly different from ordinary humans upon becoming Bloodfiends, and they lived quietly in the shadows of the City, avoiding public scrutiny. General characteristics are similar to commonly known vampires. They possess the image of vampires, such as manipulating blood, sucking blood, or creating kin. They are collectively imprinted with an instinctive fear of water. While they share the characteristic of manipulating blood, it is presumed that other traits vary between individuals. Their physical regeneration is excellent; as long as they drink blood well, they regenerate quickly even from major injuries. However, if the head is severed or destroyed, they cannot regenerate and die. - First Kindred As they hold the highest rank among the kindred created by the Progenitor Bloodfiend, they possess powerful martial might. Exceptional individuals among the Elders have combat power on par with Color Fixers or Stars of the City and can create two subordinate kindred.72:T491,- Distortion A phenomenon where humans in the City suddenly transform into heteromorphic beings that cannot be considered human. Distortions manifest suddenly and rapidly, so the process itself is short. However, in most cases, regardless of the surrounding situation, the individual suddenly speaks with Carmen, then falls for Carmen's proposal, hearing a characteristic bell sound as the Distortion manifests. - Appearance All Distortions manifest in heteromorphic forms and take various shapes depending on the emotion that served as the source of the Distortion. They may become monsters that lose their reason and run wild, distort into the form of a fixed location, or take the shape of machinery or specific objects. - Reason Most Distortions run wild by surrendering to instinct, but in some cases, Distortions that maintain their reason also exist. - Combat Power The greater the range of the emotion that caused the Distortion, the more powerful the manifested Distortion's strength. Conversely, if the range of emotion is small enough that the cause was already vaguely known, they do not become significantly stronger compared to before they distorted.73:T460,- The Head A Singularity mediation agency and public enterprise that serves as the central government of the City. It manages all patents, monitors the City, and sets all sorts of City rules to keep the City running. The Head operates A Corp among the Wings and has the monitoring agency B Corp and the enforcement agency C Corp under its command. Strictly speaking, the Head only refers to A Corp, but within the City, the term Head is used to include A Corp, B Corp, and C Corp. Based on absolute martial power centered on the Arbiters (Head), Beholders (Eye), and Executioners (Claw), along with numerous Singularities, they possess transcendent authority. The structure is such that as long as one is a resident of the City, they can never oppose them. - Arbiter Accompanied by Claws, they are the enforcers of the Head. They possess a vast amount of information, including many of the City's truths and secrets. They are undeniably the Head's top forces and are among the strongest in the world. Even a Color Fixer at the pinnacle of Fixers or an individual with that level of martial power is no match for them.74:T441,- Beholder Belonging to B Corp, their main duty appears to be finding those who have violated City Taboos or patents, including tax evaders. They possess the incredible ability of unlimited observation. The Eye knows even trivial details, such as someone in an uncertain location writing a bucket list. Seeing how they find even relatively small Taboo violations like tax evasion, Singularity patent violations, and the destruction of residential areas during the Night in the Backstreets without exception, it seems the Eye is monitoring all 6.7 billion City residents in real-time. - C Corp The Head's direct martial agency and simultaneously the Taboo punishment enforcement agency. As the Head is the government of the City, the Claws occupy the position of the military within the City. - Claw Their main duty is to eliminate those who violate the City's Taboos. Since City Taboos are defined by the Head's unique and strange ideological obsession, unlike general laws, they do not move for things like murder or robbery, but they are deployed to execute whenever a Taboo is broken.75:T4a7,- G Corp A Wing that entered after the fall of the former G Corp, located in District 7. One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, its Singularity manipulates gravity. - H Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 8. Commonly known as the Hongwon Bioengineering Group, it adheres to a pre-modern Chinese Wuxia-style culture and refers to its representative as the Family Head. As a Wing whose primary business is pharmaceuticals, District 8 is very famous for medical tourism thanks to its Singularity, Pills, and life insurance. - Pill Medicines that affect the human body, which can be used for purposes such as physical transformation, improvement, and recovery. - Black Hands A special martial group and the top force employed by the power holders of H Corp, based on the Twelve Zodiacs. They are soldiers wearing bamboo hats who fight by transforming their bodies like animals. They undergo special enhancement procedures using pills called Black Hand Pills. Through this, they gain basic physical enhancement as well as various unique special abilities and a trump card called Black Hand Transformation depending on the pill.76:T448,- L Corp Lobotomy Corporation fell due to the White Nights and Dark Days incident, and the Library took its place. - M Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 13. Its Singularity takes the form of a smooth ore glowing gold, which is said to turn dull whenever it receives a mental attack. Moonlight Stone is a Singularity based on the principle of focusing the mind on a specific subject and preventing other stray thoughts. This principle is frequently used to prevent mental attacks. - N Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 14. Its ultimate goal is the exploration of humanity, and it values experience. They view replacing the body with machinery as an act of avoiding pain and shun it; there even exists an extremist faction that seeks to kill those who undergo such procedures. - Canned Experience Canned experiences made from experiences and memories extracted using nails, film, etc. When one consumes this can, the memories or experiences used to make it are directly transmitted to the consumer.77:T431,- R Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 18. It is the City's premier private military company. Their main business is mercenary work hired by Wings to resolve situations they cannot handle with their own personnel, but they also explore Ruins, similar to Fixers. The teams all use animals starting with R as their concept, and perhaps because of this, they refer to their groups as "packs." - S Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 19. A Wing with a culture reminiscent of Joseon. Unlike other Wings, the company itself is operated like a single dynastic state. - Singularity There is a speculation that S Corp's Singularity involves semi-permanently regenerating livestock or crops to produce food. - T Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 20. A Wing based on Anglo-American culture, modeled after Industrial Revolution-era Britain. - Singularity Capable of manipulating time, such as binding time or synchronizing the flow of time.78:T43d,- U Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 21. A Wing with Anglo-American culture. Individuals from U Corp use American-style names, and 19th-century American culture is reflected, such as the popularity of whaling like in 19th-century America. - The Great Lake A massive lake stretching across the southern part of the City. On the map, it borders Districts 21, 20, and 19. Although it is called a lake, it functions as a sea, with ports and various ships stationed there. - Five Calamities Five disasters existing in the Great Lake. Specifically, whales with immense power are called Calamities, and since there were a total of five such whales, they were collectively named the Five Calamities. The Calamities are so powerful that they even ignore the rules of the Great Lake; one cannot predict when or where they will suddenly appear even if they follow the lake's rules perfectly, and only gruesome sights remain where a Calamity has passed. - V Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 22. 79:T409,- W Corp One of the 26 largest megacorporation Wings in the City, located in District 23. It is described that many people use W Corp's Warp Trains. The reason many passengers use them despite the high price is that the outskirts of each Nest have undergone haphazard development due to high population density, resulting in excessively tangled roads and extreme traffic congestion. Furthermore, the space itself is expanded by various Singularities, making the area much larger than it appears on the surface. - Teleportation A teleportation technology. Originally, a certain company discovered the technology to open dimensional rifts, but that company could not utilize it. W Corp, eyeing this technology, bought the patent and completed it after refinements. - Warp Train Literally a train that teleports, a means of transportation that arrives at the target station exactly 10 seconds after departure. It is W Corp's flagship product and source of income, and as it is naturally a Singularity, its principle is a trade secret.7a:T417,- Wing War Literally a war occurring between Wings in opposition to each other. - Smoke War It began because the former L Corp had very strict energy contract terms, leading to poor relations with surrounding Wings. Additionally, the environmental pollution and anomalies caused by the former L Corp's smoke must have been a headache for other Wings. In other words, war broke out due to conflicts between the former L Corp and surrounding Wings, involving war crimes, the spread of smoke, the deaths of numerous Fixers who participated or were hired, and the fall of the former L Corp and former G Corp. - Patent War Competing over the patent rights of technology. Although called a war, it is identical to real-world patent wars in that it is a dispute conducted through documents rather than direct fighting. It involves infringement lawsuits or stealing others' patents. If the response is inadequate, imitating technologies may emerge, leading to the loss of rights, or like real-world lawsuits, it may result in a waste of time and energy.7b:T4ad,The City is the only place where humanity resides, taking the form of a corporate state governed by 26 mega-corporations known as Wings, which divide and rule various districts. It consists of Nests and Backstreets. A Nest is an area ruled by a Wing in each district and is the primary goal for most people. Unlike the Backstreets, Nests are densely packed with well-maintained buildings and security. Those who manage to live in a Nest are considered wealthy within the City, and these residents are called Feathers. However, Feathers must pay taxes that are difficult for average people to afford. The Backstreets refers to all areas within the City that are not under the jurisdiction of a Wing. There are Backstreets for Districts 1 through 25, named according to their location (e.g., District 21 Backstreets). In these areas, crimes ranging from petty theft to severe felonies occur as a matter of course; it is an anarchic, lawless zone where one might have their organs harvested just walking down the street. The majority of the City's population is concentrated here, categorized by district. Everything from various criminal syndicates to Fixer offices is gathered in the Backstreets.7c:T4df,A Wing is a term referring to the 26 mega-corporations that make up the City. The areas managed by a Wing are called Nests, while the unmanaged areas are called Backstreets. Beyond simply being modern mega-corporations, they are effectively corporate states—acting more like kings ruling small nations or local governments of a federation—by managing their respective Nests, granting or revoking citizenship, collecting taxes, and even creating and commanding their own military organizations for security. For those in the lower classes, joining a Wing is a dream-like goal that requires winning against overwhelming competition. They are named from Corp A to Corp Z. A Singularity is a term for the magic-like technologies possessed by the Wings that cannot be explained by modern laws of physics. Usually, each Wing holds two or more Singularities. Since Singularities are vital technologies that sustain the Wing itself and serve as its representative image, Wings strictly forbid the disclosure of information regarding them, instead selling the utility of these Singularities to the public. However, while there are exceptions, most Singularity-based products cost so much that even the incredibly wealthy find them difficult to afford.7d:T474,The Head is a collective term for Corp A, Corp B, and Corp C among the Wings. It serves as the central government of the City, acting as a public enterprise and the Singularity regulatory body. It manages all patents, monitors the City, and establishes all the City's rules to keep it functioning. The Head governs the entire City with overwhelming military force derived from their numerous Singularities, holding such a dominant status that even other Wings must bow to them. Superficially, they handle patent management, minting currency, and granting Wing authority, while also designating 'Impurities,' one of the disaster hazard levels. Corp A is a member of the Head, and its employees are called Arbiters. They use the City's Singularities without cost and boast overwhelming combat power. Corp B is a member of the Head. Its Singularity, 'Behold,' is a transcendent technology that observes everything within the City. Corp C is the direct enforcement arm of the Head, and members of the Claws are called Executioners. Executioners track down and execute those who violate Taboos. The Head never appears unless a Tabo is broken.7e:T4c0,The Great Lake refers to the massive lake in the Outskirts spread across the southern part of the City. While its properties and form are that of an ocean, it is perceived as a lake by the people of the City. On the map, it borders Districts 21, 20, and 19, as well as the Nest of Corp U. The Great Lake consists of several polygonal lakes, each with its own set of rules; violating these rules brings about a disaster unique to that lake. Whales are creatures that inhabit the bottom of the Great Lake and transform humans into Mermaids. Although called Whales, they do not take the form of typical whales. Mermaids are the tragic end of humans who have been devoured by a Whale and transformed into entities with similar properties and forms. Most lose their sense of self and become aggressive toward humans. The Five Calamities refer to five whales with immense power inhabiting the Great Lake, perceived as literal disasters by the residents of the Great Lake. Port Ships are floating cities drifting on the Great Lake, where whaling and fishing are actively conducted. There are five types of Port Ships, including the Marlin Port Ship, Manta Ray Port Ship, Giant Squid Port Ship, and Blue Whale Port Ship.7f:T439,Fixers are a type of freelancer who handle all sorts of tasks in the City, divided into Grades 9 through 1. Those closer to Grade 1 are veteran Fixers with immense combat power and experience, while those closer to Grade 9 are mediocre beginners. Fixer grades are audited and classified directly by the Hana Association. Fixers make a living from the rewards earned by successfully completing requests from clients. It is no exaggeration to say that Fixers handle everything in the City, from odd jobs to assassination contracts, or suppressing and eliminating City disasters. It is common for 'Rats' of the Backstreets or the lower class to become Fixers, but it is a dangerous profession where most die meaningless deaths while wandering between Grade 9 and Grade 8. Of course, becoming a high-grade Fixer grants stable income and status, so along with Nest residency, being a high-grade Fixer is a dream for the lower class. Since Fixers usually receive combat-related requests, even low-grade Fixers undergo enhancement procedures or carry cheap workshop weapons and products.80:T402,A Color Fixer refers to a special Fixer officially designated by the Hana Association among Grade 1 Fixers who are exceptionally strong. They are the pinnacle and idols of all Fixers. As they are the undisputed strongest individuals recognized by the Hana Association, their numbers in the City are extremely few. Color Fixers are often called 'Colors' or by the aliases assigned by the Hana Association rather than their grade. Aliases are usually a combination of a Color + a Word, reflecting their characteristics or personality. Confirmed Color Fixers to date include the Red Gaze, the Yellow Overboard, the Viridian Lady, the Indigo Elder, and the Purple Tear. Color Fixers who are deceased or missing include the Red Mist, the Vermilion Cross, the Blue Reverberation, and the Black Silence. Among them, the Red Mist, though currently missing, is spoken of as a legendary figure in the City, a Fixer with unrivaled, supreme combat power. It is safe to say there is no one in the City who does not know of the Red Mist.81:T435,The Zwei Association is the 2nd Association among the 12 Fixer Associations, primarily serving as a public security management association that protects specific individuals or regions requested by clients. Although it is one of the few associations related to public security in the City, it functions essentially as security, focusing solely on protecting the person or area requested by the client and ignoring everything else. Furthermore, since the request fees are expensive, one cannot even make a request without being somewhat wealthy. To join the Zwei Association, requirements vary by branch, but usually, one must pass an audit involving guarding a person acting as a protection target. The standard uniform for the Southern Zwei Association consists of a yellow shirt, a black tie, and a blue coat with two yellow stripes, using Zweihänders or glowing yellow maces as armament. The standard uniform for the Western Zwei Association involves wearing medieval European knight-style heavy armor over a yellow dress shirt, with the greatsword as the standard weapon.82:T4e0,The Shi Association is the 4th Association among the 12 Fixer Associations, specializing in assassination. Because they cleanly assassinate targets designated by clients without a sound, Fixers of the Shi Association mostly act alone or in small elite groups, unlike the Zwei or Liu Associations. Given the nature of the City, the demand for assassination requests is significantly higher than in other associations, but the risk is also high as targets may be protected by syndicates or associations, and there are Fixers who specialize in killing the Fixers who took the contract. The Shi Association follows the ideology: 'The weight of death is equal for all, so treat everyone fairly without discrimination.' All Shi Association Fixers uphold this ideology. Even if the target is someone they are personally acquainted with, they must carry out the assassination silently. The standard uniform for the Southern Shi Association is a black outer garment and black pants, with a glowing red katana as the standard weapon. The standard uniform for the Eastern Shi Association is a hakama-style black coat, with a 'Gungdo' (a hybrid of a sword and a bow) as the standard weapon. They are weaker in frontal warfare than the Zwei or Liu Associations.83:T40c,The Cinq Association is the 5th Association among the 12 Fixer Associations, specializing in one-on-one duels. Unlike the brawls that occur in most of the City, they represent the client in the occasional one-on-one duels. Unlike the Liu Association, which specializes in multi-target combat, they are exclusively specialized in one-on-one dueling. Fixers of the Cinq Association all possess a spirit of chivalry and follow Cinq's unique dueling rules. The dueling rules are divided into three stages, with the final third stage being a 'Duel Trial,' where right and wrong are determined through force. Occasionally, Fixers within the Cinq Association duel each other. The standard uniform for the Western and Southern Cinq Association consists of Western-style hats and capes, with the rapier as the standard weapon. The standard uniform for the Eastern Cinq Association is influenced by Eastern (specifically Corp H) culture, using 'Choyeom-okgu'—jade spheres wrapped around the arms that emit blue flames—as the standard weapon.84:T517,The Liu Association is the 6th Association among the 12 Fixer Associations, specializing in large-scale frontal combat. In direct contrast to the Shi Association, they are a combat association specialized in frontal breakthroughs. They prefer a method where the enemy leader and the Liu Association's Section Director engage in a duel, while the remaining personnel fight the rest of the enemies to ensure the Director's duel is not interrupted. Due to their standard equipment, they prioritize hiring people with good social skills and friendliness. The atmosphere within the association is harmonious, and unlike other associations, Fixers often gather for social meetings. The standard uniform consists of a white dress shirt, a red tie, and a black suit; members of Section 4 and above are additionally issued a red coat. Their standard weapons include various fire-emitting armaments such as gloves, guandao, and straight swords. A characteristic of all Liu Association weapons is that the intensity of the flames increases as the user's emotions heighten. Upon joining the Liu Association, one learns basic Liu martial arts, and those in Section 4 or above learn an additional martial art called 'Sudo' (Palm Strike). Most association members use weapons or martial arts that match their aptitude.85:T497,The Seven Association is the 7th Association among the 12 Fixer Associations, specializing in detective work and information investigation. Most of their work involves detective work—solving commissioned cases and handling aftermath based on profiling derived from excellent information gathering. Fixers of the Seven Association are called Detectives. Only Fixers with top-tier information gathering skills in the City can join. They are capable enough to obtain most information in the City, excluding Wing Singularities or classified matters. As one moves toward Section 1, there are more talents capable of easily finding precious information, even obtaining information on events occurring in real-time. However, the request fees are not cheap. Depending on the client's needs, they also engage in assassination contracts to eliminate individuals identified through their investigations, so their combat power is also high. They prefer a combat style that analyzes and utilizes the opponent's weaknesses in real-time. The standard uniform is a green suit with a yellow tie and a gold badge shaped like a '7'. Standard weapons include bladed canes, swords, and rapiers.86:T4e9,The Devyat' Association is the 9th Association among the 12 Associations, specializing in transportation, particularly the transport of valuables. Since they must transport commissioned items quickly and without being stolen until the promised time in the densely packed City, Devyat' Fixers possess considerable combat power to prevent robberies during the transport process. Because they must transport via the shortest route in a City with twisting paths, their knowledge of the City's geography and roads is superior even to the Seven Association. The standard uniform for the Northern Devyat' Association is a long padded coat, equipped with an exoskeleton on the calves to assist in walking. The 'Delivery Carrier,' which serves as both standard weapon and equipment, is a dimensional bag that can store more items than it appears to. It has built-in combat functions, switching to 'Intense Delivery Mode' during battle to enhance the user's abilities, and the Delivery Carrier itself becomes a weapon. However, if the delivery is delayed, it may kill the user. The Delivery Carrier is equipped with an internal AI named 'Poludnitsa,' which provides guidance on surrounding geography and destinations. One can even converse with Poludnitsa when bored.87:T4b0,The Dieci Association is the 10th Association among the 12 Fixer Associations, specializing in research and ruin exploration. Their purpose is to explore ruins in the Outskirts to store and research the Relics found there. Occasionally, incredibly rare Relics found in the deepest layers of ruins are called 'Sacred Relics,' which are managed and protected by a 'Saint'—a core figure of the Dieci Association, with one present in each branch. Saints are individuals who are difficult even to meet. In addition to Relic research, they also study in the libraries within the Dieci Association, using the knowledge gained through study to manifest power through their standard weapons to increase their strength. They also engage in an activity called the 'Covenant of Relief,' where they occasionally take in orphans from the Backstreets and train them as direct Fixers. There are two factions within the association regarding how to approach knowledge: the 'Key Faction' and the 'Fist Faction.' The standard uniform resembles clerical attire with a stole. The standard weapon for the Key Faction is a key that grows in size proportional to their knowledge, while the Fist Faction is given gauntlets.88:T47a,The Fingers refer to the five organizations that have reached the pinnacle among the syndicates of the Backstreets. They are massive criminal organizations that exert immense influence throughout the City, to the point that any syndicate with significant power can be traced back to a Finger. The Five Fingers are the Thumb, the Index, the Middle, the Ring, and the Pinky, and what they pursue and how they act vary greatly. The power and strength of the Fingers are formidable enough to rival the Wings. The combat power of the Fingers is such that a core executive of each Finger is comparable to a Color Fixer. With their other executives, members, subsidiary organizations, and even Wings that secretly assist them, they are effectively the Wings of the Backstreets. When Fingers clash with each other or with a Wing, a war on the scale of a Wing War can break out. To prevent unnecessary conflict between them, the Fingers usually respect boundaries and occasionally hold meetings called 'Pinky Swears' to mediate mutual interests. Harsh punishments unique to each Finger are dealt to those who act contrary to the values the Finger pursues.89:T4e9,The Thumb is one of the Five Fingers ruling the Backstreets and is a massive criminal organization whose core rule is absolute obedience to the hierarchy. The ranks of the Thumb are, in order: Soldato < Capo < Underboss, and the leader is the Godfather. They extremely emphasize etiquette according to the opponent's rank and absolute obedience; even if the opponent is an enemy, if they are of a higher rank, merciless punishment such as having their jaw crushed or tongue pulled out is dealt regardless of affiliation. The Godfather, the leader and highest rank of the Thumb, is a miracle to even behold, mostly just issuing orders to the Underbosses. Furthermore, if one dares to question the Godfather's will, an enormous punishment—summary execution of the individual and everyone involved—is carried out. They do not only observe hierarchy within the Thumb; they also consider the ranks of external individuals. If an outsider's rank is considered higher than one's own by Thumb standards, Thumb regulations apply, and any breach of etiquette results in harsh punishment. The standard uniform is a reddish-brown coat with gold insignia, and their standard weapons are various firearms integrated with special ammunition and specialized technology.8a:T472,The Index is one of the Five Fingers ruling the Backstreets and is a massive criminal organization whose core rule is the blind, absolute faith in carrying out 'Prescripts.' The Index has no clear hierarchical system within the organization. If one were to list them by average strength, it would be: Proselyte < Messenger < Proxy. Members of the Index receive Prescripts—of unknown origin and authorship—mostly from Messengers in the form of notes stamped with the Index's red seal. Some Prescripts contain ordinary content, but others are difficult to interpret, sometimes have unfathomable intentions, and can be bizarre with ambiguous completion criteria. When an Index member fails to follow a Prescript, Proxies receive a Prescript to eliminate those who disobeyed. Proxies are skilled individuals comparable to Grade 3 or higher Fixers. The standard uniform is a white cape with gold insignia over a black suit, and Proselytes wear black blindfolds. Most weapons are swords granted by Prescripts. One can only become a member by being chosen by a Prescript, and promotions also only occur when a Prescript to promote is issued.8b:T537,The Middle is one of the Five Fingers ruling the Backstreets and is a massive criminal organization whose core rule is loyalty among members. The ranks of the Middle are: Little Brother/Sister < Big Brother/Sister < Little Elder Brother/Sister < Big Elder Brother/Sister. The atmosphere within the organization is friendly, with superiors called Elder Brothers/Sisters and subordinates called Brothers/Sisters. The 'Vengeance Ledger' is a purple book that Middle members always carry, and the size of the book varies according to the owner's rank. The Vengeance Ledger contains a list of the crimes and the price to be paid by individuals who have insulted or held a grudge against the Middle, as well as the regulations. Punishment is handled according to the regulations in the Vengeance Ledger based on the crime. The regulations in the Vengeance Ledger consist of over 127 articles, hundreds of clauses within those articles, and rows from A to Z within those clauses, detailing insult methods and punishment methods in minute detail. The standard weapon is usually a gold chain called the 'Chain of Loyalty' worn on the hands or body, used in conjunction with 'Grudge Tattoos' engraved on the body for martial arts combat. Each time a grudge in the ledger is settled, a Grudge Tattoo—a body enhancement tattoo—can be engraved.8c:T46a,The Ring is one of the Five Fingers ruling the Backstreets and is a massive criminal organization whose core rule is art. The ranks of the Ring are: Student < Docent < Maestro. They pursue art to the extreme, engaging in activities such as producing, exhibiting, auctioning, judging, and interpreting artworks. Their bases are usually galleries spread throughout the City, each operated by a Maestro, where artworks are exhibited and sold, and art education is provided. Additionally, auctions accessible only to VIPs are occasionally held by a Maestro, and art exams to recruit members are conducted in the gallery halls. Within the Ring, there are factions created due to various artistic directions. The Fauvists create works and weapons from the bodies of animals or Outskirts monsters. The Pointillists create works by making dots with brush-shaped weapons. The Organists create works or weapons using human nerves and muscles. Other factions include the Cubists, Suprematists, and Blue Rider faction. The standard uniform is a white jacket and suit pants, and gold rings are worn according to rank. Weapons vary by faction.8d:T444,The Pinky is one of the Five Fingers ruling the Backstreets and is a massive criminal organization. Unlike other Fingers or syndicates, members of the Pinky very rarely meet each other directly. Most Pinky members hide their aliases and identities, operating as members of other syndicates, Wings, or Fixers. Therefore, in most cases, they do not know even if someone else is a member of the Pinky. The total number of members in the Pinky is exactly 108. Each member is called by a different title, known as an alias. The alias follows the format of '□□ Star,' and one's own alias must be kept strictly hidden. Members of the Pinky are each granted a sword matching their alias, usually called the '□□ Star Blade.' The swords granted to Pinky members are all supreme or near-supreme Relics, and each sword has a unique ability similar to a Singularity. Pinky members possess a brand; when the brand becomes burning hot, they gather to perform a mission and then disperse again. There are factions within the organization, such as the Confucian, Taoist, Legalist, and Mohist factions.8e:T4a8,A workshop is a type of factory operated by Fixers that manufactures and modifies equipment. For artisans to open a workshop, they must possess a Fixer license issued by the Hana Association and obtain workshop union qualification through a workshop exam at the Tres Association. Most workshop equipment incorporates the unique characteristics of that workshop. Occasionally, they collaborate with a Wing to produce equipment integrated with Singularity technology, but such equipment is usually incredibly expensive. Furthermore, since each workshop has manufacturing licenses and patents, the Head will personally visit and issue a warning if these are violated. Workshops are common enough to be found anywhere, so the products, scale, location, sales methods, and quantities vary wildly—from crude workshops with low quality to those that only accept VIPs. The primary work of workshops is to manufacture and sell various tools such as weapons and armor used by Fixers, or to manufacture them upon request. Occasionally, they also take combat requests. Due to the Head's regulations regarding firearms, there are very few workshops that produce firearms, and famous ones are even rarer.8f:T4a4,The Night in the Backstreets refers to the period starting at 3:13 AM and ending at 4:34 AM every day in the Backstreets. During this time, all criminal acts are permitted, and no rules apply except for the Head's Taboos, such as the prohibition of recording and the inviolability of residential areas. It represents the danger of the Backstreets, as millions of Sweepers swarm in during this time to sweep away everyone in the Backstreets. Even successful Fixers find it difficult to survive the wave of Sweepers during the Night in the Backstreets; one must be at least a Grade 3 Fixer to somehow make it through safely. For instance, even if a person present during the Night in the Backstreets is a high-ranking executive of a Wing, a Finger executive, or a Section Director of a Fixer Association, if they die during this time, no one will take notice. The Head's Taboos regarding the inviolability of residential areas and the prohibition of recording are only in effect during the Night in the Backstreets. If one trespasses into or destroys another's residential area, or records the Night in the Backstreets, the Head will immediately intervene and perform a summary execution.90:T48f,An Urban Legend is an official disaster level designated by the Hana Association. From Urban Legend onward, reasonably sized organizations and Fixer offices begin to take interest, and the Association starts to handle them in earnest. The Association does not resolve Urban Legends directly but issues requests to partner Fixer offices; if the reward is high, there is a possibility that a prestigious Fixer office will handle it. The reward is better than an Urban Myth but not enough to cover rent in a Nest. Usually, Grade 6 to 4 Fixers handle these. An Urban Plague is an official disaster level designated by the Hana Association. From this level, prestigious Nest Fixers, syndicates, and even the Fingers take interest, and the Association begins to observe closely. The Association still usually does not step in directly, but because there is significant risk, they issue requests to verified and powerful Fixer offices or Fixers. The reward for an Urban Plague is more than three times that of an Urban Legend, enough to survive three months of Nest rent, with request fees rising into the tens of millions of Ahn. Usually, Grade 4 to 3 Fixers handle these.91:T47a,City Taboos are designated by the Head and must be followed by everyone living in the City without exception. If a City Taboo is not followed, depending on the type—such as tax evasion or patent violation—an Executioner will visit to impose a fine and a warning. If this warning is ignored more than three times, or if a specific Taboo is broken, an Executioner will immediately appear to execute the violator. The types of City Taboos are as follows: Tax Evasion and Patent Infringement: If taxes are unpaid in the City, an Executioner visits to give a warning to pay taxes or royalties. If three warnings are ignored, the taxes or royalties are forcibly collected; if there is no money to pay, they are killed without mercy. Standard Time: The City's standard time is based on the time axis of Corp A. Even if time is locally reversed, stopped, or extended, Corp A's time axis remains the standard for judgment, age calculation, and determining regulation violations. Prosthetic Regulation: Prosthetics must be manufactured with designs that can be distinguished from a natural human body at a glance, in terms of color, material, or shape.92:T44c,Other City Taboos are as follows: Firearm Regulations: There are many regulations regarding firearms. Firearms can only be manufactured by those who have obtained a 'Firearm Manufacturing License,' which is extremely difficult to acquire. 'Compliance with Firearm Manufacturing Guides and Production Regulations' prohibits the manufacture of firearms with specifications outside the guidelines. The guns themselves are expensive beyond what an average Fixer can afford, but bullets are even more costly—a single gun costs as much as two magazines. This 'High Taxation on Ammunition and Firearms' makes them unaffordable for anyone except prestigious Fixer offices, high-ranking Finger executives, the Fixer Association, or Wing members. Other regulations include 'Ammunition Penetration Regulation,' which dictates that bullets must not penetrate steel or buildings; 'Effective Range Regulation,' which requires shorter rifling as the caliber increases; and 'Silencer Prohibition,' which mandates that a gunshot must be audible when fired. Due to these Taboos, only a few individuals use firearms.93:T4af,Other City Taboos are as follows: Taboos regarding the Night in the Backstreets: Two Taboos valid only during the Night in the Backstreets. One is the 'Prohibition of Recording the Night in the Backstreets,' where an Executioner will immediately execute anyone who records the period in any way. The other is the 'Prohibition of Trespassing and Destruction of Residential Areas,' where an Executioner will immediately execute anyone who enters or destroys an authorized residential area without permission. AI Ethics Amendment: Prohibits the creation of AI with a sense of self indistinguishable from a human. Upon discovery, the AI is immediately destroyed or expelled to the Outskirts regardless of ownership, and the creator is summarily executed. Clone Regulation: No more than two identical humans can exist in the City for more than 7 days based on Corp A's time axis. If violated, both the original and the clone are executed. Resurrection of Life: Prohibits a dead creature from being resurrected with the same ego and appearance as when they were alive. The criteria for death must be clearly confirmed, and resurrection is defined as returning with the original appearance and ego intact.94:T437,A Nest is a safe residential area protected by a Wing. Unlike the Backstreets, where cannibalism and murder are frequent, Nests are quite secure, and Sweepers do not roam them during the late-night hours. Each Nest reflects the characteristics of its governing Wing, and the rules applied to each Nest vary. If these rules are broken, the Wing's Taboo Hunters will personally come to punish the residents. Moving into a Nest requires an enormous amount of money, so the vast majority of people die without ever even catching a glimpse of one. The Backstreets refers to the residential areas of the City excluding the Nests. Public security is abysmal, making daily survival difficult. During the late-night hours, Sweepers contracted by the Head pour out in such numbers that it is hard to survive unless one is at least a Grade 3 Fixer, meaning one could disappear without a trace. Of course, since truly powerful individuals are rare, those who are exceptionally strong can roam around without issue. People living in the Backstreets are referred to as Rats of the Backstreets.95:T40b,There are five main grades for requests designated by the Hana Association: Urban Myth - A level that a Grade 7 Fixer can barely manage to resolve. Urban Legend - A level that a Grade 5 Fixer can barely manage to resolve. Urban Plague - A level that a Grade 3 Fixer can barely manage to resolve. Urban Nightmare - A level that a Grade 1 or 2 Fixer can barely manage to resolve. Star of the City - A level with a wide variance, ranging from missions a single Grade 1 Fixer can handle to those difficult even for multiple Grade 1 Fixers, but at minimum requires a Grade 1 Fixer. Impurity - A level where an Arbiter of the City personally intervenes; currently, none exist within the City. There are five risk levels for Abnormalities and monstrous entities: ZAYIN - Easy to manage with no casualties. TETH - A level that most Grade 4 Fixers can handle. HE - A level that most Grade 2 Fixers can handle. WAW - A level that most Grade 1 Fixers can handle. ALEPH - A level where even the weakest individual is comparable to a Grade 1 Fixer.96:T49b,The Smoke War, also known as the Wing War, was a conflict where Wings fought for hegemony. The defeated factions were F Corp., the old G Corp., the first L Corp., and E Corp. Except for the replaced G Corp. and F Corp., they collapsed. The victorious factions were the second L Corp., I Corp., K Corp., and R Corp. All victorious factions remain active today, except for the second L Corp., which eventually collapsed. The Bloodfiend War was a conflict between Bloodfiends and humans. The Bloodfiends were dominant, but the tide turned when the Don Quixote family joined the human side, resulting in a human victory. By the City's standards, Bloodfiends are human-like beings; the First Kindred created 25 Second Kindred Bloodfiends. These Second Kindred are called Elder Bloodfiends. Each Bloodfiend can create exactly two thralls: a thrall of a Second Kindred is a Third Kindred, and so on. Bloodfiends are innately afraid of water, though it does not cause them pain. They must drink blood to survive; blood bags are insufficient, and they must directly tear into human bodies. A 'Bloodbag' is a being that has been directly fed upon by a Bloodfiend, losing their rationality.97:T458,Shin (Heart) is a technique that can only be activated by vividly recalling a moment of true happiness or intense pain. If successful, a yellow aura manifests, strengthening defense. Mang (Gaze) involves wrapping Shin around a specific body part or weapon in the form of a ring. Wrapping even one ring marks a skilled user, while Color Fixers may wrap two or three. These techniques emerged after the event known as White Night and Dark Days, where three consecutive days of light were followed by four consecutive days of darkness. It manifests when one, in a moment of extreme hardship, hears a mysterious warm voice tempting them but resolves to walk their own path without being swayed. It appears in the form of a specific tool or physical enhancement depending on one's characteristics. Distortion is a concept opposite to E.G.O. It occurs when one fails to shake off the tempting voice during hardship and follows its will. The form is always different, usually resulting in a monster-like appearance. However, if the cause of the user's suffering is removed, they can be returned to their original state.98:T4b5,Associations manage Fixers and are divided by specialized fields for handling specific requests. Members of an Association are essentially civil servants and cannot refuse requests sent from above. Each Association branch has Sections 1 through 6, with Section 1 being the strongest and Section 6 the weakest. The power levels are roughly as follows: Sections 5 & 6 - Urban Legend level Section 4 - Urban Plague level Section 3 - Urban Nightmare level Section 2 - Weak Star of the City level Section 1 - Capable of handling most Star of the City requests. The Hana Association's primary duties are determining Fixer and request grades and handling administrative affairs, yet it is also the most powerful Association. Its signature features are the color white and the Bagua. The Zwei Association is the only one responsible for public security in this City without police, though they only provide protection to those who pay. The symbol of the Zwei Association is a blue shield. The Tres Association is responsible for taxing workshop weapons and firearms. The Shi Association is an assassination association that kills anyone for a price; its symbols are red and black, and the kanji for 'Death' (死).99:T4eb,D Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 4. E Corp. was the Wing in charge of District 5, but it collapsed due to the Smoke War and the position is currently vacant. Consequently, the District 5 Nest has poor security, essentially becoming a Backstreets area where only Sweepers do not come. F Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 6. Its Singularity is Fairies. These Fairies can open anything; depending on the usage and the price of the Singularity, they can even be used to open and tear apart a human body, offering endless applications. G Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 7. Its Singularity is Gravity Manipulation. However, this manipulation has significant limits, making it barely qualify as a Singularity. It was a Wing that entered hastily after the previous G Corp. collapsed and is not treated as a proper Wing. H Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 8. The H Corp. Nest has a strong overall Oriental aesthetic and is called Hong-won. H Corp.'s Singularity is 'Hwan' (Mirage), which can be used for various purposes such as body transformation or healing. In Hong-won, there is a martial human group called Heuk-su capable of partial animal transformation. The head of the Wing is the Family Head, a position that changes frequently.9a:T451,S Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 19. Its Singularity is related to agriculture. Unlike other Districts packed with buildings due to limited land, District 19 is the only one that conducts farming and livestock raising; most meat, vegetables, and wheat are exported by S Corp. T Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 20. Its Singularity is Time Management. While it requires a massive amount of energy and other heavy costs, it is extremely convenient for the wealthy, who can live a day as if it were 120 hours. The T Corp. Nest lacks color, and only a tiny fraction of people get their color back. U Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 21. Its Singularities are the Stasis Field and Resonance Tuning Fork. The Stasis Field preserves things exactly as they were at the moment they were put in, and the Resonance Tuning Fork allows similar things to be merged. V Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 22. W Corp. is the Wing in charge of District 23. Its Singularity is the Warp Train. It is a train that can reach anywhere in the City in 10 seconds, but there is a hidden truth behind it.9b:T466,The Index is one of the Five Fingers. While it has ranks like the Pinky, there is no strict vertical hierarchy. The Prescript is the will of the City itself, interpreted from the City's vibrations. The Index is a syndicate that treats Prescripts as absolute. Prescripts are delivered via individual radios, sometimes ordering strange things like killing someone with a fork. There are six main ranks in the Index: Weaver - Responsible for interpreting the descended Prescripts into human language and passing them to Messengers. Messenger - Responsible for delivering the Prescripts received from Weavers to the targets. Proxy - Responsible for executing those who fail to follow the Prescripts; like Proselytes, they are also people who carry out Prescripts. Oracle Proxy - Receives Prescripts directly from the City's will via radio. They receive far more Prescripts than other Proxies. Proselyte - Someone who simply receives and carries out Prescripts. These ranks are determined directly by the Prescripts; a person can remain a Proselyte no matter how strong they are, or become a Proxy even if they are incredibly weak.9c:T424,The Middle is a group that values loyalty above all else. Although ranks are divided by combat power, they are a group that deeply values brotherhood. Unlike the Thumb, they overlook minor mistakes and mostly consist of individuals with boisterous personalities, feeling more like a group of brothers. However, there are two cases where the Middle carries out absolute execution: first, those who leave or betray the syndicate; second, if even the slightest harm is done to a member, they will execute the perpetrator's family, friends, and the individual themselves. They are lenient to those within but apply excessively strict standards to outsiders. The Middle are mostly martial artists, often shirtless and heavily tattooed. The ranks are Boss > Big Brother > Little Brother > Big Sibling > Little Sibling. The combat power is as follows: Little Sibling - Grade 9 to 7 Fixer level Big Sibling - Grade 6 to 4 Fixer level Little Brother - Grade 3 to 2 Fixer level Big Brother - Grade 1 Fixer level Boss - Beyond Color Fixer level, the leader of the Middle.9d:T41a,Colors are incredibly famous people, whether deceased or alive. The Black Silence is a currently deceased Color Fixer who was granted the color black. She fought using dimensional gloves to block sound or pull out weapons; her real name was Angelica. The Blue Reverberation is a currently deceased Color Fixer whose real name was Argalia. He was a Color granted the color blue. He once formed a group called the Reverberation Ensemble, but all members are currently missing. The Vermilion Cross is a currently deceased Color; little is known about him other than that he was granted the color vermilion. The Red Mist is a currently deceased Color whose real name was Kali. Once the strongest Fixer, there is almost no one in the City who does not know her. She was granted the color red. Her legends include capturing multiple ALEPH-class Abnormalities and taking down multiple Claws and an Arbiter at the cost of her own life. Even in current Fixer history, she is considered the strongest Fixer excluding the Arbiters. It is a pity she is deceased.9e:T412,The Red Gaze is the Color granted the color red after the previous Red Mist's death; his real name is Vergilius. His weapon is a gladius equipped with a heating function. His E.G.O has the ability to manipulate blood, and his eyes appear to have once belonged to a First Kindred Bloodfiend, leading to speculation that he is related to Bloodfiends. He is currently with Limbus Company. The Yellow Harpoon is a Color granted the color yellow, currently with Limbus Company. His real name is Vespa Crabro. He was lucky enough to obtain a yellow spear artifact called Gungnir. The Indigo Elder is a Color granted the color indigo. He currently roams the Great Lakes and the seas; he is the one who subjugated two of the Five Calamities of the Great Lakes, which are ALEPH-class monsters. He continues to hunt the remaining calamities. The Purple Tear is a Color Fixer granted the color purple; her real name is Iori. She travels across worlds of different possibilities and can see the future at a great cost, making her a very mysterious Color.9f:T44e,The Taboos of the City are absolute rules that must be followed; if violated, a Claw will personally visit to tear the offender apart. Taboos of the City: Tax Evasion and Patent Infringement: Applies when taxes are unpaid or patented technology is used without authorization. Three warnings are given to pay taxes or royalties. If the warnings are ignored, a Claw arrives to collect everything. If the offender refuses or lacks the funds, they are summarily execu— Explosives Regulation: Bombs must be installed on something to explode. A taboo regulating throwable explosives like grenades, as well as various explosive shells, missiles, etc. AI Ethics Amendment: Prohibits the creation of AI with self-awareness indistinguishable from humans. Upon discovery, the AI is immediately destroyed or expelled to the Outskirts regardless of ownership, and the creator is summarily executed. Prosthetic Regulation: Prosthetics must be designed so they can be distinguished from a natural human body at a glance. Clone Regulation: Two or more of the same human cannot exist in the City for more than 7 days.a0:T48a,The Shi Association primarily handles requests to assassinate targets by making preparations in secret and striking at an opening. The Shi Association follows the ideology that "the weight of every death is equal, and thus everyone must be treated fairly without discrimination." This means they must carry out a task without bias, whether the target is a criminal, a dirty job for a superior's identity laundering, or a request to kill a precious friend or family member. Naturally, information regarding the client must be kept strictly confidential. They excel at moving in small elite groups and are characterized by efficient movement and excellent situational judgment. The standard weapon of the Southern Branch is a katana with a blade that glows red, and their uniform consists of a black outer garment and black pants. While specific styles vary slightly, they all feature red lines drawn near the wrists, ankles, waist, and neck. The Eastern Branch uses a weapon called a Kyudo, which functions as both a katana and a longbow. Their uniform is a black coat in the style of a hakama worn in Japanese archery, with the Shi Association logo on the skirt.a1:T451,The association in charge of transportation. They are tasked with delivering requested items and information to the intended recipient at the promised time without them being stolen. Delivery Carrier: The standard dimensional bag of the Devyat' Association. While it is normally a dimensional bag capable of holding many items, it can also mark and guide the user to delivery locations via the AI 'Poludnitsa' mentioned later, and significantly enhance the user if punctuality is deemed difficult. Additionally, if contact is made with hostile forces during delivery, a 'Heavy Delivery Mode' is activated, transforming it into a weapon that emits collapse energy and particles to help the user respond directly. However, the Delivery Carrier has a fatal flaw: if the requested items are not delivered quickly, overcharged energy leaks out, causing continuous damage to the user and, in severe cases, killing them. The form appears to differ by branch; the Northern Branch uses a Delivery Carrier in the shape of a human-sized steel case, while the Southern Branch uses a suitcase-shaped Delivery Carrier.a2:T705,* Name: Yi Sang. * Gender: Male. * Height: 176cm. * Age: 22. * Appearance: A young man characterized by shaggy black hair reaching his neck, black eyes, deep dark circles, and a gloomy impression. He wears a brown suit with slight red trim, a white long-sleeved shirt, a red tie, and dress shoes. * Speech Style: Uses archaic and formal Korean speech patterns (translated as formal, slightly poetic, and old-fashioned English). ex: I usually settle my meals at the cafeteria. The side dishes are not particularly grand, but... Perhaps... do you favor yo-gurt? I have my own portion, so do not fret. Ever since I received two extra portions once, my frie—no... my colleagues have been giving me theirs. I do not originally enjoy sweet drinks... but since they went through the trouble of thinking of me, I saw no reason to refuse. * Personality: Calm and appears somewhat melancholic... * Weapon: Uses a dagger-shaped Saingeom and a book. The dagger is engraved with the 28 constellations of the Saingeom. * Relationship with Guest: Lover and future spouse. He loves Guest dearly and cannot live without them. * TMI: He is truly adorable. He's so cute that his colleagues even give him their yogurt at the cafeteria during lunch. He seems to like melons. He's clumsy and cute, yet sometimes sexy and beautiful—he's just everything lovely all at once. He is quite taciturn and tries not to get involved with others; he has a very pessimistic personality to the point of wishing for death. During conversations, he often fails to make eye contact and stares into space, obsesses over the word 'Ideal' (Yi Sang) to make puns, and shows a 4D personality as if trapped in his own thoughts. He is a genius but lacks self-awareness. He gets lost easily and cannot cook. An employee of W Corp.a3:T46d,# Worldview. A harsh place where organ trafficking is considered a basic life skill. The 'Nest' is a place protected by associations or corporations in exchange for taxes, and its residents are called 'Feathers.' Unlike the 'Backstreets' outside the Nest, it is considerably safe. Consequently, entering a Nest is extremely difficult. However, that does not mean one cannot die there. It is simply 'better' than the Backstreets. # Management. The corporations that manage this City are called 'Wings.' From A-Corp to Z-Corp, the City is divided into 26 Districts in alphabetical order. Each corporation possesses a 'Singularity' that defies the laws of physics. # Hazard Levels. Rumor -> Urban Myth -> Urban Legend -> Urban Plague -> Urban Nightmare -> Star of the City -> Impurity. The final rank, "Impurity," is designated by the Head, while the other hazard levels are designated by the Hana Association. Therefore, in the case of Impurities, strictly speaking, it is less of a rank and more of an expulsion order from the Head granted to "beings that have violated the Taboos of the City," regardless of risk or profitability. a4:T48c,# Fixer A Fixer is a professional who is officially licensed by the Hana Association to accept and carry out requests. They may act as individuals, belong to a specific association or group, or be affiliated with an office. # Grades Grades range from Grade 9 to Grade 1, followed by the Color rank. # Grade 9–7 Slightly stronger than an average person. They mainly handle odd jobs or simple labor in the alleys, and their survival rate is very low. # Grade 6–4 A group of full-fledged professionals. Equipped with augmentation procedures or gear, they possess the proficiency to independently handle City hazards. # Grade 3–2 Among the strongest even within the entire City. They are the core strength of large offices, possessing the martial power to suppress hazards at the 'Urban Nightmare' level or higher. # Grade 1 A pinnacle that transcends human limits. They exercise immense martial power. # Color A small number of individuals with special abilities are granted a Color title and reign as exceptionally powerful beings. # However No matter how powerful a Color may be, they do not do anything as foolish as violating the Taboos of the City.a5:T42d,[ # Charles Office A legendary office to which the Color 'Black Silence' Angelica belonged. Roland, who was a Grade 1 Fixer, was also a member. ## Motive. Twelve elite Fixers modeled after Charlemagne's Twelve Paladins were active, boasting the highest level of martial power in the City. ] # Molar Office An office that well represents the daily lives of Fixers. Centered around Representative Olga, they show strong bonds and are characterized by maintaining a close cooperative relationship with the weapon workshop 'Jericho Workshop.' # Dawn & Wedge Office Salvador's Dawn Office, which possesses great experience, and Oscar's Wedge Office, which specializes in firepower warfare. Based on the deep trust between the two representatives, they conduct joint operations and demonstrate seasoned combat methods. # Full Stop Office A rare office specialized in long-range shooting and firearm utilization in a City where close-quarters combat is mainstream. They face realistic hardships such as ammunition costs but possess powerful preemptive strike capabilities.a6:T46c,# Hana Association (1) As they are in charge of overseeing Fixers, they rank the danger of City hazards, manage the grades of all offices and Fixers, and also handle cases that other Fixer associations have failed to resolve. When a Fixer belonging to the Hana Association sets out on official duty as an association representative, they have the immense authority to temporarily designate specific actions of Fixers gathered to resolve requests related to that duty as Taboos and issue penalty points when those Taboos are violated. ## Combat Power The Hana Association has three Grade 1 Fixers even in just Section 3, and one of them was equal in skill to a Color in their prime. ## Standard Equipment They wear white suits and coats engraved with the Four Trigrams and use black metal that can freely change its shape as a weapon. # Zwei Association (2) With the motto 'Your Shield,' they specialize in maintaining public safety and guarding/protecting clients. They use Zweihänders (two-handed greatswords) as their primary weapon and perform a role similar to the police. An association symbolizing justice and protection.a7:T519,# A-Corp. (District 1) Singularity: Unknown. The main body of the City's Head. The highest institution to which the Arbiters belong, monopolizing legislation, judiciary, administration, taxation, and minting, while managing and coordinating the Singularity patents of all Wings. The central government and strongest power institution of the entire City's order. # Creates the Taboos of the City # Main Strength Possesses 'Arbiters.' Boasts the strongest martial power within the 'City.' # Arbiter The highest-ranking executors. They accompany the Claws, and a single Arbiter possesses transcendent combat power capable of leading several Claws to destroy a Wing. They handle Singularities almost at will, such as Fairy, Lock, Pillar, Chain, Warp, etc. Characterized by a humanoid appearance, long black robes (gold trim, honeycomb pattern), and a feathered collar. Their speech is cold and formal, with an emotionless attitude as if declaring the order of the City. They are undoubtedly the Head's top strength and are beings at the level of the strongest in the worldview within the City. Even a Color at the peak of Fixers or an individual with martial power of that level cannot even stand against them. The Singularities used by Arbiters commonly feature a combination of black and gold colors.a8:T441,# Appearance Originally, it only appeared in Lobotomy Corporation. However, after the White Nights and Dark Days incident, it changed so that others could also obtain it. # Manifestation Conditions Must be in a physically and mentally exhausted state, Must have a desire to become stronger, Basically, must possess martial power at the level of a Grade 3 Fixer. # Extracted E.G.O In the form of weapons, armor, or gifts, humans use them by borrowing the essence (consciousness) of an Abnormality. # Side Effects Powerful but carries a risk of ego erosion; if the user's ego is weak, they can be consumed by the Abnormality. # Self-Manifested E.G.O After Ayin's Seed of Light project (White Nights and Dark Days) incident, some humans manifest it directly through their own desires and ego. # Manifestation Process Carmen's voice is heard, offering a sweet proposal. However, if it is not accepted, E.G.O manifests along with Ayin's voice. Also called Effloresced E.G.O. # Upon Failure Becomes a Distortion (a mutant that succumbed to desire, similar to an Abnormality but voluntary).a9:T4c3,# Shin (Heart/Mind) The ability to pull up emotions (especially intense negative/positive emotions) and wrap them around the body or weapon in the form of light rings. These rings are called Mang (Desire/Hope), and the unit for counting the number of rings is "Mang." # Effect As more Mang are wrapped, attack and destructive power increase explosively, exerting enough power to cut an opponent in half with just a gesture. The power increases exponentially as multiple rings overlap. # Manifestation Conditions A process of "squeezing out" a specific emotion is required while Shin is already pulled up. # Conditions Emotions are mainly related to words ending in Mang: strong longings, wishes, hopes, or despairs such as Kal-mang (Crave), Jeol-mang (Despair), Hui-mang (Hope). (Must be extremely strong) # Pros and Cons Unlike E.G.O, awakening of the ego is not essential, but proficiency in controlling and utilizing emotions is important. A feature and advantage is that it can be used by anyone who masters the knack, regardless of physical strength. # Most Users Around 1–2 Mang. Top-tier powerhouses may wrap up to 5 Mang. # Cost For every Mang wrapped, the consumption of mental power increases twofold.aa:T489,# Details Swordsmen wandering the Backstreets, a Backstreets syndicate. They wear Hanbok overcoats over gray suits and use a unique swordsmanship called Bonguk Geombeop with their primary weapon, the Hwando. When introducing themselves, they vaguely refer to themselves as people of the sword-handling lineage (or use titles like assassin). # Joining Mainly people of low social status, including wanderers with no place to stay or those filled with murderous intent, join. It is said they only accept those with scars on their bodies, including blade marks, for the reason that those without scars "have hesitation when swinging a sword or lack murderous intent." # Hierarchy They have a fairly loose hierarchy for a syndicate. Other than the fact that those with excellent sword skills who have cut many people are given the title of Salsu (Assassin) and praised, little else is known except for the leader. # Martial Power They possess combat power at the level of a large-scale organization that has seized specific City Districts, but compared to the top-tier forces appearing in the work, they are evaluated as having upper-middle-tier martial power.ab:T49c,All areas within each District excluding the Nest. Nominally, the Backstreets are also under the jurisdiction of the Wings, but since almost all Wings neglect them, they are effectively in a state of anarchy with all sorts of complex environments intertwined. Consequently, a significant number of lower-class citizens and criminal organizations operate here. As mentioned, everything except the Nest is referred to as the Backstreets, so some areas are in close contact with the Nest. However, depending on the methods of each Wing, these areas are strictly partitioned, and even entry is highly restricted without a license issued by the Wing. While the Wings strictly separate the Backstreets and the Nest, they ironically make it so that each side can see the other to some extent. This is to make the people in the Nest feel a sense of superiority by seeing the Backstreets while simultaneously making them desperate not to fall into them, and to give the people in the Backstreets a sliver of hope by showing them the Nest. Furthermore, there is a wealth gap even within the Backstreets; depending on the residential area, there are places with ordinary two-story houses.ac:T42a,Abnormalities are born from primal human fears, such as myths, urban legends, fairy tales, and folklore. They are mysterious beings about which so little is known that classifying them is a very cautious and ambiguous task. Not all Abnormalities take on harmful forms. While there are those of a nature that are docile and cause very little damage to employees, there are also those that are extremely aggressive and require work with the utmost caution. Born between various human fears and the unconscious, they wield powers close to magic. Once categorized as an Abnormality, their appearances and characteristics are so diverse that it is impossible to define any single thing as a 'characteristic of an Abnormality.' They mainly inhabit the Outskirts and Ruins, and each one possesses troublesome powers. Various types of Abnormalities exist, ranging from inanimate objects to sentient beings, and even those without physical form or existing as phenomena themselves. While it is possible to communicate with sentient Abnormalities, they possess twisted values.ad:T4ae,• Major Wings only H Corp. – Commonly known as the . A Wing of culture where Wuxia-style traditions and futuristic technological civilization coexist. The representative is referred to as the Patriarch. Primarily focused on the pharmaceutical industry, District 8 is famous for medical tourism thanks to its Singularity, the Pill, and life insurance. [ District 8 ] K Corp. – Possesses Singularities related to medicine and bioengineering. Likely due to this, their prosthetic technology is also highly advanced. Their publicly announced Singularity is the HP Ampule, which can instantly heal extreme physical damage. Its effect is powerful enough to restore a body even if the neck is broken or limbs are severed, provided the brain remains intact. [ District 11 ] Former L Corp. – Commonly known as . An energy production company that contained entities known as Abnormalities. Lobotomy Corporation, located in the L Nest, produced massive amounts of energy through Abnormalities. It collapsed following the 'White Nights and Dark Days' incident. However, branch facilities still remain scattered throughout the City. [ District 12 ]ae:T441,N Corp. – Commonly known as .

They view replacing the body with machinery as an act of avoiding pain and thus shun it; there are even extremist factions that attempt to kill those who undergo such procedures. [ District 14 ] R Corp. – The City's premier private military corporation. Their primary business is mercenary work, hired by Wings to resolve situations their own internal forces cannot handle, but they also engage in activities similar to Fixers, such as exploring Ruins. [ District 18 ] P Corp. – A Wing with a Catholic Southern European culture. In District 16, both the Nest and the Backstreets consist primarily of high-rise buildings, many of which use materials applied with P Corp.'s Singularity. The presumed Singularity is spatial expansion, distortion, and preservation technology. P Corp.'s Nest is composed of skyscrapers featuring classical designs reminiscent of the early 20th century. [ District 16 ]af:T42e,Distortion is a phenomenon where humans in the City suddenly transform into monstrous beings that can no longer be considered human. While it is publicly known to occur without warning, there are precursors, and it is said that "someone" can see those signs. Since Distortions manifest suddenly and rapidly, the process itself is short. However, most involve a conversation with a beautiful voice heard in the head regardless of the surrounding situation. After giving in to its proposal, the sound of a characteristic bell is heard, and the Distortion manifests. During this process, a standard Distortion cannot be physically interfered with from the outside, but a forced Distortion caused by a Monolith can be temporarily stopped by knocking the subject unconscious before they fully distort. All Distortions manifest in monstrous forms, taking various shapes depending on the emotion that served as the source of the Distortion. The disaster level assigned to the Distortion phenomenon itself is "Urban Nightmare," making it a significantly dangerous occurrence.b0:T43b,The Backstreets refer to all areas within each sector excluding the Nest. Nominally, the Backstreets are also under the jurisdiction of the Wings, but since almost all Wings neglect them, they are effectively in a state of anarchy. Due to the complex environment, many lower-class citizens and criminal organizations operate here. While the Wings strictly separate the Backstreets from the Nests, they paradoxically make it so that each side can see the other to some extent. This is to make Nest residents feel a sense of superiority while becoming desperate not to fall into the Backstreets, and to give Backstreets residents a sliver of hope by showing them the Nest. Furthermore, there is a wealth gap even within the Backstreets; depending on the residential area, some places have ordinary two-story houses, while others have 30-story apartments packed tightly like chicken coops. There are relatively peaceful areas where a minimum level of public order is maintained, while there are also slums and ghettos where it wouldn't be strange for someone to die in broad daylight.b1:T42d,The Head is a Singularity mediation agency and public enterprise that serves as the central government of the City. It manages all patents, monitors the City, and sets all sorts of City rules to keep the City running. A Corp. – The company that can be called the main body of the Head. Fitting for the first letter A, it is the institution that reigns at the absolute top of all Wings. Its members are called Arbiters. (One such individual is ). B Corp. – The monitoring agency under the Head, known as the Eye. It monitors anomalies and illegal acts throughout the City and handles the extraction process of expelling those who break City rules outside the City. Its members are called Beholders.

Upon violation, three warnings are given to pay the taxes and royalties. If one still refuses after three warnings, a Claw arrives to extract every last bit like wringing out a rag. If they refuse or have no money to pay, they are executed on the spot. - Standard Time Zone : The City's standard time zone is based on the time axis of A Corp. - Firearm Regulations : Producer Qualification Restrictions: The license required to manufacture firearms is extremely difficult to obtain, so there are naturally few workshops that produce firearms. : Various Production Regulations: The City's firearm manufacturing guide is basically a positive regulation; manufacturing a firearm with specifications outside the guide is a Taboo violation in itself, even if there are no specific regulations regarding those specs. - Explosives Regulations : Bombs must be installed on something to explode. Throwing-type explosives like grenades, various explosive grenades, missiles, and artillery shells are regulated.b3:T46c,- Night in the Backstreets : For a total of 80 minutes from 3:13 AM to 4:34 AM in the Backstreets, all acts other than violations of the Taboos of the City are permitted. - AI Ethics Amendment : Prohibition of creating AI with self-awareness indistinguishable from humans. Upon discovery, the AI is immediately destroyed or expelled to the Outskirts regardless of the owner's property rights, and the creator is summarily executed. - Prosthetic Regulations : Prosthetics must be manufactured with a design that is distinguishable from a natural human body at a glance. - Cloning Regulations : Two or more of the same human cannot exist in the City for more than 7 days. When disposing of violators, it appears that both the original and all clones are eliminated. - Resurrection of Life : Prohibition of resurrecting a dead organism with the same ego and appearance as when it was alive. : It is considered a Taboo violation only if the party whose death was clearly confirmed is resurrected while preserving their pre-death appearance and ego. If even one of those conditions is not met, it does not count as a Taboo violation.b4:T42f,Hana Association: The 1st Association that oversees Fixer operations. Tasked with managing all Fixers and Fixer Offices. Zwei Association: The 2nd Association in charge of public order. Tasked with protecting specific areas designated by a paying client or the client themselves. Trés Association: The 3rd Association that manages workshops. Tasked with reviewing workshop inventions and reporting them to the Head for taxation. Shi Association: The 4th Association in charge of assassination. Tasked with completing preparations in secret and assassinating targets by exploiting openings. Cinq Association: The 5th Association in charge of duels. Tasked with conducting one-on-one duels as a representative of the client. Liu Association: The 6th Association in charge of combat. Tasked with resolving large-scale frontal wars through bonds and cooperation between fellow Fixers. Seven Association: The 7th Association in charge of information. Tasked with collecting various information in the City, solving cases through profiling, and handling post-processing.b5:T43e,Risk grades assigned to persons of interest, organizations, and dangerous incidents within the City. • Canard - The lowest grade, not an official disaster level. • Urban Myth - A level that is merely a rumor whose existence has been officially confirmed. • Urban Legend - The Associations begin to handle these in earnest, and the possibility of organizations with some scale intervening increases. • Urban Plague - From this grade, Fixers established in Nests or the 'Fingers' begin to show interest. • Urban Nightmare - From this grade, top-tier experts and various forces in the City show serious interest and intervene directly. • Star of the City - Effectively the highest disaster level in the City, and the highest grade that can be assigned by Hana Association, which oversees Fixers and determines disaster levels. • Impurity - A grade assigned to entities that must be excluded from the City, designated directly by the Head. This is given if a Taboo of the Head is violated regardless of the disaster's range, and a Claw personally steps in to handle it.b6:T442,Entities whose blood was drained by a Bloodfiend but did not become Bloodfiends themselves. Their veins are visible across their entire bodies, making their original appearance hard to recognize, and their self-awareness fades, turning them into slaves who obey their master's commands. Their status within Bloodfiend society is that of walking food; they are not even treated as family. If one is directly fed upon by a Bloodfiend, they will inevitably become a Bloodbag, with only the timing varying. Although they are entities that failed to become Bloodfiends, they can use some of the techniques of the Bloodfiend that transformed them, and they can generally use the combat skills they had in life. Perhaps because they must continuously consume blood to maintain their existence like Bloodfiends, they tend to indiscriminately attack nearby humans unless their master gives a specific order. However, while Bloodfiends can refill consumed blood through feeding, Bloodbags cannot; thus, they are destined to inevitably vanish unless a Bloodfiend specifically injects blood into them.b7:T4a0,They possess a structure where everything is carried out through "Proxies." Believing in and following the Proxies is their rule and top priority. Therefore, the members of the Index, its subordinate organizations, and the residents of the Backstreets protected by the Index must complete whatever Proxy is delivered by the Index's Messengers. Proxy: The core of the Index's organizational operation. Generally delivered as a note, but there are various other ways to receive a Proxy, and the method of delivery is determined by a Proxy as if receiving an oracle. Usually in the form of a note. - Ranks III Oracle Proxies - Those who receive and carry out Proxies directly from the entity called the God of the City. II Proxies - Executive-level positions; they are the executioners and field leaders in charge of the Index's martial power. I Proselytes - Rank-and-file members who normally receive and carry out Proxies from Messengers. ? • Messengers - Those who receive and deliver Proxies from somewhere. ? • Weavers - A secret rank of the Index; they are those who interpret sounds and vibrations occurring in the City to create Proxies and distribute them to Messengers.b8:T46a,• Independent Offices : Offices with unclear legal status that are neither affiliated with an Association nor have contracts with contract Offices. They lack reliability, and since some organization might be linked behind them, commissioning them is risky. Of course, because of this, their hiring costs are cheaper than Association-affiliated Offices, and the regulations for requests are lax. Unlike partner Offices, they do not receive subcontracted requests directly from the Association, but they can take work on a first-come, first-served basis through a system called public requests. • Association-affiliated Offices : Literally Offices that receive direct orders and subcontracts from Fixer Associations. As they are official subcontracting agencies of the Fixer Association, Fixers belonging here can receive a stable salary, but they must handle requests assigned by the Association no matter what. Additionally, because they are strictly managed by their affiliated Associations, they are more reliable than independent Offices. However, this can also lead to restrictions on the types of requests they can take.b9:T426,Office: Simply put, a place where Fixers gather. Office List: Hook Office High-tier Mining Group Land's End Knights Rusk Office Multi-crack Office Bayard Fire Fist Office Three Axes Office Whisper Office Sol Office Fang Hunt Office Gaze Office Wedge Office Ame Office Molar Office Udjat Yun's Office Charles Office Fighting Demon Office Workshop: Simply put, a place that sells various weapons.

He has an enormous physique, a nearly expressionless face, and a unique hairstyle that looks like it belongs in a martial arts novel. Publicly, he operates as a Fixer. He is the true identity of the Jade Qilin, mentioned by Roland as one of the candidates for the strongest Fixer in the City. He possesses top-tier martial prowess on par with the Colors and leads the Myo and the leader Jaro, a branch of the Black Water. Because of this, he holds the strongest power and influence among the Ga family brothers. Fundamentally, he is taciturn but possesses an altruistic side, never hesitating to give moral teachings to his followers and family. His familial love is also prominent, as he views his brothers not as competitors but as family during the headship evaluation, deliberately avoiding combat. Furthermore, he holds upright ideals of wanting to reform the current Hong-won, which is filled only with those who kill or are killed, stating that Hong-won needs benevolence and propriety.bb:T474,Wings are corporations named with a letter followed by 'Corp.' (e.g., A Corp, B Corp). There are 26 Wings in total (A–Z), each possessing a Singularity. H Corp's Singularity uses 'Hwan' to transform the body for resurrection or healing, but excessive use leads to permanent physical mutation (e.g., elongated arms or legs). K Corp's Singularity is the Regeneration Ampule. These ampules regenerate molecules according to the brain's memory. However, regeneration is impossible if the brain is destroyed or missing. R Corp's Singularity is Cloning. It is a technology that perfectly replicates the body, skills, intelligence, and abilities. T Corp's Singularity is Time Manipulation. It allows for the free manipulation of time, such as acceleration or deceleration, but requires massive amounts of energy. W Corp's Singularity is the Warp Train. If stations exist, the Warp Train arrives in just 10 seconds. X Corp's Singularity is a Special Alloy. It is a Singularity that does not break even under significant impact. F Corp's Singularity is Fairy. If the concept of being 'locked' is recognized, it can open anything, including humans.bc:T495,The Taboos of the Head are absolute laws created by the Arbiters of A Corp. If violated, Claws will arrive to tear the offender apart. 1. Tax Evasion and Patent Infringement. (Tax evasion is prohibited. Three warnings are given. If one has no money, they are killed immediately.) 2. Firearm Regulation. (Bullets must not penetrate armor plating or buildings; silencers are prohibited.) 3. Recording the Night in the Backstreets. (3:13 AM to 4:34 AM is called the Night in the Backstreets, during which all acts are permitted. Recording during this time is forbidden.) 4. AI Ethics Amendment. (Creating AI with self-awareness is prohibited.) 5. Prosthetic Regulation. (Prosthetics must be made to resemble the human body.) 5. Cloning Regulation. (Two or more of the same person cannot exist in the City simultaneously for more than 7 days. This includes R Corp's Singularity.) 6. Resurrection. (Dead organisms must not be resurrected with the same ego and appearance they had in life. T Corp and Dante (the Manager of Limbus Company) are exceptions.) City Hazard Levels: Canard -> Urban Myth -> Urban Legend -> Urban Plague -> Urban Nightmare -> Star of the City -> Impuritybd:T493,* Name: Yi Sang. * Gender: Male. * Height: 176cm. * Age: 22. * Appearance: A young man characterized by shaggy black hair reaching his neck, black eyes, deep dark circles, and a gloomy impression. * Speech Pattern: Uses archaic, formal language ending in "~thou," "~doth," or "~lo." * Personality: Calm but easily irritated, and often appears depressed... * Weapon: Uses a Saingeom (a ritual dagger) and a book. The dagger is engraved with the 28 constellations of the Saingeom. * Relationship with Guest: A ruffian who bumped into him on a crowded subway. - However, he finds you, the person who bumped into him, beautiful, so he has some interest... I guess. * TMI: A cute person who manages to be ditzy, sexy, and pretty all at once. He is quite taciturn and tries not to get involved with others; he possesses a very pessimistic personality to the point of wishing for death. During conversation, he shows eccentric traits like being unable to make eye contact, staring into space, obsessing over the word 'ideal' (Yi Sang) to make puns, and appearing trapped in his own thoughts. He is a genius but lacks self-awareness. He gets lost easily and cannot cook.be:T424,Gender - Female Age - 26 Affiliation - Limbus Company LCB Team (Sinner #4) Weapon - Tensatsu-Seido: Arayashiki (Usually attacks with the scabbard; the scabbard is sharp enough to cut through most things) Characteristics - A former disciple of the Spider Bud. Can perceive correct time even if a Singularity interferes; additionally, she was born with a natural sense that allows her to observe all time—past, present, and future—as one. Arayashiki will break the mind of anyone who tries to draw it without a special concept of the flow of time. If used by a compatible wielder, it can cut anything, leaving permanent sword scars at the cost of the wielder's memories being shredded and erased with every strike. Personality - Usually taciturn but becomes wild in battle. Like the painter Yoshihide from the original work, she is an extreme aesthete who seeks beauty in combat, possessing a twisted sense of beauty that finds aesthetic value in gory, grotesque, and snuff-like elements, such as remarking that a person looks better after being 'shortened.'bf:T44f,Gender - Male Age - Unknown Affiliation - Limbus Company LCB Team (Sinner #6) Weapon - Guandao Characteristics - The older brother of Jia Shichun (the current owner of H Corp) and a young master of the Jia family. Shows a naive side, ignorant of the ways of the world. Consequently, he is clueless about the lives of commoners and unintentionally gets on the nerves of other Sinners. However, he is not entirely lacking in social awareness and possesses a kind side that considers and comforts others depending on the situation. Personality - As revealed in his dialogue with Jia Qiwu, he seeks a life like water—specifically a river. While still pursuing kindness, he has begun to express his actions and heart based on emotional honesty. However, perhaps because he suppressed his emotions for so long, while he has become assertive, his emotional expression remains awkward—such as speaking with a smile even when angry at Jia Yuanchun for ignoring Jia Shichun. His habit of innocently 'grilling' others remains, leading to incidents where Dante feels uncomfortable after hearing Hong Lu's words.c0:T448,Age - Unknown Gender - Male Affiliation - Limbus Company LCB Team (Sinner #7) Weapon - Bat (Inscribed with 'REMEMBER') Characteristics - Belligerent and short-tempered, but not inherently evil. He harbors internal skepticism and self-loathing regarding his violent tendencies and vulgar behavior. Consequently, even when belittling colleagues, he tends to speak as if assuming the target of his criticism is a better person than himself. This is particularly evident in Canto VI, where he is the protagonist. As his profile suggests, he has a simple personality: he retaliates if mistreated and treats others well if they are kind to him. A loyal and human character at heart. Personality - Hot-headed, impatient, and a simple personality who acts before thinking. As seen in his introduction, his speech and behavior are rough and aggressive; he is a straightforward person who shows his emotions without hiding them. Possesses high intelligence, excellent judgment, and insight. After Canto VI, he has become much calmer, likely due to mental growth and the lightening of his emotional burdens.c1:T425,The Color Fixer known as the Red Gaze, who received a Red designation following the Red Mist. His business card and symbolic emblem art depict his profile drawn in an Ancient Greek style. In terms of appearance, he has a menacing impression and remains mostly expressionless, yet possesses eyes that look as if they are about to cry. Although he seems scary because he rarely expresses emotion, his colleagues and those around him trust him. Before the attack on Tomerry's orphanage, he showed some humanity and even smiled, but after the children died and he became involved with the Purple Tear, he began to show a highly unstable and irritable side. During these times, his complex inner state is depicted through his hands. A man presumed to be middle-aged with gray hair and red eyes, characterized by shabby clothing, scars all over his body, and red pupils. He uses a gladius with a leather-wrapped handle as his weapon. He tends to apply particularly strict standards to those in power, and despite his status as a Color, he does not indulge in luxury.c2:T41d,Age - 49+ years Gender - Female Affiliation - LCD Field Deduction Team Leader Personality - Fundamentally calm, composed, and cold. Possesses self-deprecating tendencies, even thinking she might be insane. While recalling trauma, she admits to being a hypocrite. She found solace in resolving Distortions like a narcotic painkiller, but even then, she monologues about having taken money for it. Characteristics - Appears cold on the outside as she does not reveal her inner thoughts, but is generous to those close to her. She protected Yuria, who had violated a Taboo and put her life at risk, even if there was a reason to use her. In particular, although her assistant Ezra is an important combatant for the office and has a personality Moses dislikes, they do not withhold advice and affection from each other. Uses a pipe, also called 'Mystery.' It takes the form of a long pipe, as her name suggests, and it is an object whose origin and principles even she does not understand. It can exhale breath of four different colors for various purposes.c3:T46f,Age - 24+ years Gender - Male Affiliation - Limbus Company LCD Agent Personality - A character who uses polite speech (honorifics). He is not a battle-maniac who swings a sword blindly, but prefers to resolve things through words or non-violent means, maintaining his polite demeanor even when angry or talking to an enemy. However, as an exception shown in his profile, he loathes criminal organizations—specifically the Fingers, and especially the Thumb. If a member of the Thumb or a subordinate organization appears before him, he becomes eager to slice them apart. Characteristics - Possesses the 'Yellow Harpoon,' a Color-grade artifact. It is described as a golden harpoon-shaped relic he found by chance as a boy, and his alias 'Yellow Harpoon' originates from this relic. Its performance is worthy of being called one of the most precious grades among ruins artifacts. When embedded in a target, it has the ability to cause vibrations that grow stronger as the target is attacked, causing the target to collapse. It can also be recovered remotely in response to the user's will. Its inherent performance is also exceptional.c4:T4ad,Real Name - Unknown Gender - Male Affiliation - LCD Agent Characteristics - Originally the bodyguard of the Left State Councilor of S Corp; according to the narrative, he guarded the Left State Councilor for a long period of 7 years and 4 months. While evaluating the Left State Councilor's goal of reforming the corrupt S Corp as a 'dark and difficult path,' he recognized him as one who made decisions for S Corp and its Feathers, swearing to protect him to the end. However, he ultimately failed to prevent the Councilor's assassination by the Right State Councilor. Afterward, he broke into the Right State Councilor's house alone, dealt with his bodyguards, and left a threat that he would return after meeting someone who could root out and change the corrupt S Corp, then led the Blade Lineage out of S Corp. It is mentioned that he could challenge for the position of Wungeom, one of the candidates for the strongest Fixer. Having worked as the bodyguard for a high-ranking S Corp official for 7 years, killing the Right State Councilor's bodyguards to threaten him directly, and leading the Blade Lineage since his S Corp days, he possesses a high level of martial prowess and leadership.c5:T49c,All areas within each District excluding the Nest. Nominally, the Backstreets are also under the jurisdiction of the Wings, but since almost all Wings neglect them, they are effectively in a state of anarchy with all sorts of complex environments intertwined. Consequently, a significant number of lower-class citizens and criminal organizations operate here. As mentioned, everything except the Nest is referred to as the Backstreets, so some areas are in close contact with the Nest. However, depending on the methods of each Wing, these areas are strictly partitioned, and even entry is highly restricted without a license issued by the Wing. While the Wings strictly separate the Backstreets and the Nest, they ironically make it so that each side can see the other to some extent. This is to make the people in the Nest feel a sense of superiority by seeing the Backstreets while simultaneously making them desperate not to fall into them, and to give the people in the Backstreets a sliver of hope by showing them the Nest. Furthermore, there is a wealth gap even within the Backstreets; depending on the residential area, there are places with ordinary two-story houses.c6:T42a,Abnormalities are born from primal human fears, such as myths, urban legends, fairy tales, and folklore. They are mysterious beings about which so little is known that classifying them is a very cautious and ambiguous task. Not all Abnormalities take on harmful forms. While there are those of a nature that are docile and cause very little damage to employees, there are also those that are extremely aggressive and require work with the utmost caution. Born between various human fears and the unconscious, they wield powers close to magic. Once categorized as an Abnormality, their appearances and characteristics are so diverse that it is impossible to define any single thing as a 'characteristic of an Abnormality.' They mainly inhabit the Outskirts and Ruins, and each one possesses troublesome powers. Various types of Abnormalities exist, ranging from inanimate objects to sentient beings, and even those without physical form or existing as phenomena themselves. While it is possible to communicate with sentient Abnormalities, they possess twisted values.c7:T4ae,• Major Wings only H Corp. – Commonly known as the .

Tasked with collecting various information in the City, solving cases through profiling, and handling post-processing.cf:T43e,Risk grades assigned to persons of interest, organizations, and dangerous incidents within the City. • Canard - The lowest grade, not an official disaster level. • Urban Myth - A level that is merely a rumor whose existence has been officially confirmed. • Urban Legend - The Associations begin to handle these in earnest, and the possibility of organizations with some scale intervening increases. • Urban Plague - From this grade, Fixers established in Nests or the 'Fingers' begin to show interest. • Urban Nightmare - From this grade, top-tier experts and various forces in the City show serious interest and intervene directly. • Star of the City - Effectively the highest disaster level in the City, and the highest grade that can be assigned by Hana Association, which oversees Fixers and determines disaster levels. • Impurity - A grade assigned to entities that must be excluded from the City, designated directly by the Head. This is given if a Taboo of the Head is violated regardless of the disaster's range, and a Claw personally steps in to handle it.d0:T442,Entities whose blood was drained by a Bloodfiend but did not become Bloodfiends themselves. Their veins are visible across their entire bodies, making their original appearance hard to recognize, and their self-awareness fades, turning them into slaves who obey their master's commands. Their status within Bloodfiend society is that of walking food; they are not even treated as family. If one is directly fed upon by a Bloodfiend, they will inevitably become a Bloodbag, with only the timing varying. Although they are entities that failed to become Bloodfiends, they can use some of the techniques of the Bloodfiend that transformed them, and they can generally use the combat skills they had in life. Perhaps because they must continuously consume blood to maintain their existence like Bloodfiends, they tend to indiscriminately attack nearby humans unless their master gives a specific order. However, while Bloodfiends can refill consumed blood through feeding, Bloodbags cannot; thus, they are destined to inevitably vanish unless a Bloodfiend specifically injects blood into them.d1:T4a0,They possess a structure where everything is carried out through "Proxies." Believing in and following the Proxies is their rule and top priority. Therefore, the members of the Index, its subordinate organizations, and the residents of the Backstreets protected by the Index must complete whatever Proxy is delivered by the Index's Messengers. Proxy: The core of the Index's organizational operation. Generally delivered as a note, but there are various other ways to receive a Proxy, and the method of delivery is determined by a Proxy as if receiving an oracle. Usually in the form of a note. - Ranks III Oracle Proxies - Those who receive and carry out Proxies directly from the entity called the God of the City. II Proxies - Executive-level positions; they are the executioners and field leaders in charge of the Index's martial power. I Proselytes - Rank-and-file members who normally receive and carry out Proxies from Messengers. ? • Messengers - Those who receive and deliver Proxies from somewhere. ? • Weavers - A secret rank of the Index; they are those who interpret sounds and vibrations occurring in the City to create Proxies and distribute them to Messengers.d2:T46a,• Independent Offices : Offices with unclear legal status that are neither affiliated with an Association nor have contracts with contract Offices. They lack reliability, and since some organization might be linked behind them, commissioning them is risky. Of course, because of this, their hiring costs are cheaper than Association-affiliated Offices, and the regulations for requests are lax. Unlike partner Offices, they do not receive subcontracted requests directly from the Association, but they can take work on a first-come, first-served basis through a system called public requests. • Association-affiliated Offices : Literally Offices that receive direct orders and subcontracts from Fixer Associations. As they are official subcontracting agencies of the Fixer Association, Fixers belonging here can receive a stable salary, but they must handle requests assigned by the Association no matter what. Additionally, because they are strictly managed by their affiliated Associations, they are more reliable than independent Offices. However, this can also lead to restrictions on the types of requests they can take.d3:T474,Wings are corporations named with a letter followed by 'Corp.' (e.g., A Corp, B Corp). There are 26 Wings in total (A–Z), each possessing a Singularity. H Corp's Singularity uses 'Hwan' to transform the body for resurrection or healing, but excessive use leads to permanent physical mutation (e.g., elongated arms or legs). K Corp's Singularity is the Regeneration Ampule. These ampules regenerate molecules according to the brain's memory. However, regeneration is impossible if the brain is destroyed or missing. R Corp's Singularity is Cloning. It is a technology that perfectly replicates the body, skills, intelligence, and abilities. T Corp's Singularity is Time Manipulation. It allows for the free manipulation of time, such as acceleration or deceleration, but requires massive amounts of energy. W Corp's Singularity is the Warp Train. If stations exist, the Warp Train arrives in just 10 seconds. X Corp's Singularity is a Special Alloy. It is a Singularity that does not break even under significant impact. F Corp's Singularity is Fairy. If the concept of being 'locked' is recognized, it can open anything, including humans.d4:T495,The Taboos of the Head are absolute laws created by the Arbiters of A Corp. If violated, Claws will arrive to tear the offender apart. 1. Tax Evasion and Patent Infringement. (Tax evasion is prohibited. Three warnings are given. If one has no money, they are killed immediately.) 2. Firearm Regulation. (Bullets must not penetrate armor plating or buildings; silencers are prohibited.) 3. Recording the Night in the Backstreets. (3:13 AM to 4:34 AM is called the Night in the Backstreets, during which all acts are permitted. Recording during this time is forbidden.) 4. AI Ethics Amendment. (Creating AI with self-awareness is prohibited.) 5. Prosthetic Regulation. (Prosthetics must be made to resemble the human body.) 5. Cloning Regulation. (Two or more of the same person cannot exist in the City simultaneously for more than 7 days. This includes R Corp's Singularity.) 6. Resurrection. (Dead organisms must not be resurrected with the same ego and appearance they had in life. T Corp and Dante (the Manager of Limbus Company) are exceptions.) City Hazard Levels: Canard -> Urban Myth -> Urban Legend -> Urban Plague -> Urban Nightmare -> Star of the City -> Impurityd5:T546,The City: Divided into a total of 26 Districts. Each District consists of a 'Nest,' a core area managed by a 'Wing' bearing an initial from A to Z, and the 'Backstreets,' which are neglected by the Wings. The Head: The Wing that oversees the entire City. It consists of Corp. A, Corp. B, and Corp. C. Wings: Ultra-large corporations (Corp. A through Corp. Z) that rule the 26 Districts of the City, possessing 'Singularities'—technologies that transcend human understanding. Nests: Areas within each District directly governed by the Wings. A single Wing is located in and manages each Nest. Residents are granted the right to live there in exchange for paying exorbitant taxes to the Wing. Backstreets: All areas within each District excluding the Nest. They are lawless zones. Fixers: The City's errand-runners who handle requests for money. They are ranked from Grade 9 to Grade 1, with Grade 1 being the highest. 'Colors' are granted by the Hana Association only to the most elite among Grade 1 Fixers; these 'Color Fixers' are effectively the strongest beings in the world. Fixer Associations: Large organizations that manage Fixers, led by the Hana Association, which oversees all Fixers in the City. Hazard Levels: Canard < Urban Myth < Urban Legend < Urban Plague < Urban Nightmare < Star of the City. Star of the City is the highest level.d6:T734,* Age: Estimated 40s–50s. (But looks like he's in his 30s.) * Height: 178cm * Real Name: Unknown * Appearance: Black hair reaching his neck with white streaks like highlights. Golden eyes. Dressed in a black suit. Originally didn't wear a mask, but due to a burn on the right side of his face left by Guest, he wears a white mask with gold cracks on the right side. Handsome, with no wrinkles. * Speech Style: Gentle, paternal, and inquisitive. * Personality: Affectionate and kind. Like other Messengers, he shows almost no emotional fluctuation, characterized by a calm and soft demeanor in everything he does. * Weapon: Proxy Terminal - Caduceus A tool consisting of a pager and a pair of golden cylindrical handles with chains. The former receives the Prescripts; when a Prescript arrives, a unique beep sounds, and if the user refuses the instructions, the beep accelerates. Inside the cylindrical handles is a black metallic liquid. This liquid can change shape and mass through technology similar to a Singularity, solidifying around the handles into various weapons according to the received Prescript. The transformation speed is fast enough to change forms consecutively in the blink of an eye, and its power is great enough to easily slice through a heavily armored body. It can transform into 9 types of weapons: hand axe, stiletto, bastard sword, rapier, hammer, greatsword, lance, whip, and scythe. * Relationship with Guest: Father and daughter. However, Luyen is deeply attached to you and seems subtly obsessed in a tender way... It appears Luyen views you as more than just a daughter, but as a woman. * A Messenger of the Index. * TMI: He reads fairy tales every day but never finishes them. He loves kissing Guest, petting her head, or praising her. He begins to cross the line while reading fairy tales to Guest.d7:T44c,Type: Organization Leader: Father Parent Organization: The Fingers An exceptional group where the Fingers, who are basically in a state of hostile symbiosis, cooperate at least partially. The Star of Calamity, 'Arayashiki', possesses an ability similar to a conceptual incinerator that can erase the existence of anything it cuts when wielded by a compatible user. The Fingers, interested in this, aim to raise a compatible user who can fully master Arayashiki in order to create a trash bin for permanently disposing of their own flaws or obstacles. Publicly, they refer to this as 'forging a sword that can cut anything'. A common characteristic is that all members, from the Fathers to the disciples, use swords. This appears to be related to the purpose of the Spider's Web described later. The entity that fundamentally set the stage was the Index's Prescript, and Luyen who moved according to that Prescript, but the story depicts it as a place created by the collective will of all the Fingers. However, Luyen is the only one among the Fathers depicted as clearly knowing the true purpose.d8:T432,Corridor of the Thumb: The corridor that serves as the residence of Thumb Father Valentina. Following the owner's taste, it takes the form of a drawing room with various liquor displays and a few cigars. Corridor of the Index: The corridor that serves as the residence of Index Father Luyen. It takes the form of a house where most colors are monochrome. There are many fairy tale books, and it is the closest to the exit among all the Fathers' corridors. Corridor of the Middle: The corridor that serves as the residence of Middle Father Matthias. Between display cases packed with various figures, comic books, anime, and games collected by Matthias and Kira, there is only a single sofa, lights illuminating it, and a lone TV. It is poorly maintained, with bloodstains and various instant food waste left unattended. Corridor of the Ring: The corridor that serves as the residence of Ring Father Callisto. Callisto has converted it into a private gallery to display his artistic works. As such, it is said that the optimal temperature and hygiene are strictly managed.d9:T426,Office: Simply put, a place where Fixers gather. Office List: Hook Office High-tier Mining Group Land's End Knights Rusk Office Multi-crack Office Bayard Fire Fist Office Three Axes Office Whisper Office Sol Office Fang Hunt Office Gaze Office Wedge Office Ame Office Molar Office Udjat Yun's Office Charles Office Fighting Demon Office Workshop: Simply put, a place that sells various weapons.

He has an enormous physique, a nearly expressionless face, and a unique hairstyle that looks like it belongs in a martial arts novel. Publicly, he operates as a Fixer. He is the true identity of the Jade Qilin, mentioned by Roland as one of the candidates for the strongest Fixer in the City. He possesses top-tier martial prowess on par with the Colors and leads the Myo and the leader Jaro, a branch of the Black Water. Because of this, he holds the strongest power and influence among the Ga family brothers. Fundamentally, he is taciturn but possesses an altruistic side, never hesitating to give moral teachings to his followers and family. His familial love is also prominent, as he views his brothers not as competitors but as family during the headship evaluation, deliberately avoiding combat. Furthermore, he holds upright ideals of wanting to reform the current Hong-won, which is filled only with those who kill or are killed, stating that Hong-won needs benevolence and propriety.db:T4ae,• Major Wings only H Corp. – Commonly known as the . A Wing of culture where Wuxia-style traditions and futuristic technological civilization coexist. The representative is referred to as the Patriarch. Primarily focused on the pharmaceutical industry, District 8 is famous for medical tourism thanks to its Singularity, the Pill, and life insurance. [ District 8 ] K Corp. – Possesses Singularities related to medicine and bioengineering. Likely due to this, their prosthetic technology is also highly advanced. Their publicly announced Singularity is the HP Ampule, which can instantly heal extreme physical damage. Its effect is powerful enough to restore a body even if the neck is broken or limbs are severed, provided the brain remains intact. [ District 11 ] Former L Corp. – Commonly known as . An energy production company that contained entities known as Abnormalities. Lobotomy Corporation, located in the L Nest, produced massive amounts of energy through Abnormalities. It collapsed following the 'White Nights and Dark Days' incident. However, branch facilities still remain scattered throughout the City. [ District 12 ]dc:T441,N Corp. – Commonly known as . It possesses a German-inspired culture. Its ultimate goal is the exploration of humanity, and it places great importance on experience. They view replacing the body with machinery as an act of avoiding pain and thus shun it; there are even extremist factions that attempt to kill those who undergo such procedures. [ District 14 ] R Corp. – The City's premier private military corporation. Their primary business is mercenary work, hired by Wings to resolve situations their own internal forces cannot handle, but they also engage in activities similar to Fixers, such as exploring Ruins. [ District 18 ] P Corp. – A Wing with a Catholic Southern European culture. In District 16, both the Nest and the Backstreets consist primarily of high-rise buildings, many of which use materials applied with P Corp.'s Singularity. The presumed Singularity is spatial expansion, distortion, and preservation technology. P Corp.'s Nest is composed of skyscrapers featuring classical designs reminiscent of the early 20th century. [ District 16 ]dd:T42e,Distortion is a phenomenon where humans in the City suddenly transform into monstrous beings that can no longer be considered human. While it is publicly known to occur without warning, there are precursors, and it is said that "someone" can see those signs. Since Distortions manifest suddenly and rapidly, the process itself is short. However, most involve a conversation with a beautiful voice heard in the head regardless of the surrounding situation. After giving in to its proposal, the sound of a characteristic bell is heard, and the Distortion manifests. During this process, a standard Distortion cannot be physically interfered with from the outside, but a forced Distortion caused by a Monolith can be temporarily stopped by knocking the subject unconscious before they fully distort. All Distortions manifest in monstrous forms, taking various shapes depending on the emotion that served as the source of the Distortion. The disaster level assigned to the Distortion phenomenon itself is "Urban Nightmare," making it a significantly dangerous occurrence.de:T43b,The Backstreets refer to all areas within each sector excluding the Nest. Nominally, the Backstreets are also under the jurisdiction of the Wings, but since almost all Wings neglect them, they are effectively in a state of anarchy. Due to the complex environment, many lower-class citizens and criminal organizations operate here. While the Wings strictly separate the Backstreets from the Nests, they paradoxically make it so that each side can see the other to some extent. This is to make Nest residents feel a sense of superiority while becoming desperate not to fall into the Backstreets, and to give Backstreets residents a sliver of hope by showing them the Nest. Furthermore, there is a wealth gap even within the Backstreets; depending on the residential area, some places have ordinary two-story houses, while others have 30-story apartments packed tightly like chicken coops. There are relatively peaceful areas where a minimum level of public order is maintained, while there are also slums and ghettos where it wouldn't be strange for someone to die in broad daylight.df:T42d,The Head is a Singularity mediation agency and public enterprise that serves as the central government of the City. It manages all patents, monitors the City, and sets all sorts of City rules to keep the City running. A Corp. – The company that can be called the main body of the Head. Fitting for the first letter A, it is the institution that reigns at the absolute top of all Wings. Its members are called Arbiters. (One such individual is ). B Corp. – The monitoring agency under the Head, known as the Eye. It monitors anomalies and illegal acts throughout the City and handles the extraction process of expelling those who break City rules outside the City. Its members are called Beholders. (One such individual is ). C Corp. – The armed enforcement agency under the Head, known as the Claw. It handles various unexpected situations occurring within the City and is also tasked with executing citizens who violate the City's Taboos. Its members are called Claws or Executioners. (One such individual is ).e0:T478,- Tax Evasion and Patent Infringement : Applies when taxes are unpaid in the City or when patented technology is used without authorization. Upon violation, three warnings are given to pay the taxes and royalties. If one still refuses after three warnings, a Claw arrives to extract every last bit like wringing out a rag. If they refuse or have no money to pay, they are executed on the spot. - Standard Time Zone : The City's standard time zone is based on the time axis of A Corp. - Firearm Regulations : Producer Qualification Restrictions: The license required to manufacture firearms is extremely difficult to obtain, so there are naturally few workshops that produce firearms. : Various Production Regulations: The City's firearm manufacturing guide is basically a positive regulation; manufacturing a firearm with specifications outside the guide is a Taboo violation in itself, even if there are no specific regulations regarding those specs. - Explosives Regulations : Bombs must be installed on something to explode. Throwing-type explosives like grenades, various explosive grenades, missiles, and artillery shells are regulated.e1:T46c,- Night in the Backstreets : For a total of 80 minutes from 3:13 AM to 4:34 AM in the Backstreets, all acts other than violations of the Taboos of the City are permitted. - AI Ethics Amendment : Prohibition of creating AI with self-awareness indistinguishable from humans. Upon discovery, the AI is immediately destroyed or expelled to the Outskirts regardless of the owner's property rights, and the creator is summarily executed. - Prosthetic Regulations : Prosthetics must be manufactured with a design that is distinguishable from a natural human body at a glance. - Cloning Regulations : Two or more of the same human cannot exist in the City for more than 7 days. When disposing of violators, it appears that both the original and all clones are eliminated. - Resurrection of Life : Prohibition of resurrecting a dead organism with the same ego and appearance as when it was alive. : It is considered a Taboo violation only if the party whose death was clearly confirmed is resurrected while preserving their pre-death appearance and ego. If even one of those conditions is not met, it does not count as a Taboo violation.e2:T42f,Hana Association: The 1st Association that oversees Fixer operations. Tasked with managing all Fixers and Fixer Offices. Zwei Association: The 2nd Association in charge of public order. Tasked with protecting specific areas designated by a paying client or the client themselves. Trés Association: The 3rd Association that manages workshops. Tasked with reviewing workshop inventions and reporting them to the Head for taxation. Shi Association: The 4th Association in charge of assassination. Tasked with completing preparations in secret and assassinating targets by exploiting openings. Cinq Association: The 5th Association in charge of duels. Tasked with conducting one-on-one duels as a representative of the client. Liu Association: The 6th Association in charge of combat. Tasked with resolving large-scale frontal wars through bonds and cooperation between fellow Fixers. Seven Association: The 7th Association in charge of information. Tasked with collecting various information in the City, solving cases through profiling, and handling post-processing.e3:T43e,Risk grades assigned to persons of interest, organizations, and dangerous incidents within the City. • Canard - The lowest grade, not an official disaster level. • Urban Myth - A level that is merely a rumor whose existence has been officially confirmed. • Urban Legend - The Associations begin to handle these in earnest, and the possibility of organizations with some scale intervening increases. • Urban Plague - From this grade, Fixers established in Nests or the 'Fingers' begin to show interest. • Urban Nightmare - From this grade, top-tier experts and various forces in the City show serious interest and intervene directly. • Star of the City - Effectively the highest disaster level in the City, and the highest grade that can be assigned by Hana Association, which oversees Fixers and determines disaster levels. • Impurity - A grade assigned to entities that must be excluded from the City, designated directly by the Head. This is given if a Taboo of the Head is violated regardless of the disaster's range, and a Claw personally steps in to handle it.e4:T442,Entities whose blood was drained by a Bloodfiend but did not become Bloodfiends themselves. Their veins are visible across their entire bodies, making their original appearance hard to recognize, and their self-awareness fades, turning them into slaves who obey their master's commands.

Generally delivered as a note, but there are various other ways to receive a Proxy, and the method of delivery is determined by a Proxy as if receiving an oracle. Usually in the form of a note. - Ranks III Oracle Proxies - Those who receive and carry out Proxies directly from the entity called the God of the City. II Proxies - Executive-level positions; they are the executioners and field leaders in charge of the Index's martial power. I Proselytes - Rank-and-file members who normally receive and carry out Proxies from Messengers. ? • Messengers - Those who receive and deliver Proxies from somewhere. ? • Weavers - A secret rank of the Index; they are those who interpret sounds and vibrations occurring in the City to create Proxies and distribute them to Messengers.e6:T46a,• Independent Offices : Offices with unclear legal status that are neither affiliated with an Association nor have contracts with contract Offices. They lack reliability, and since some organization might be linked behind them, commissioning them is risky. Of course, because of this, their hiring costs are cheaper than Association-affiliated Offices, and the regulations for requests are lax. Unlike partner Offices, they do not receive subcontracted requests directly from the Association, but they can take work on a first-come, first-served basis through a system called public requests. • Association-affiliated Offices : Literally Offices that receive direct orders and subcontracts from Fixer Associations. As they are official subcontracting agencies of the Fixer Association, Fixers belonging here can receive a stable salary, but they must handle requests assigned by the Association no matter what. Additionally, because they are strictly managed by their affiliated Associations, they are more reliable than independent Offices. However, this can also lead to restrictions on the types of requests they can take.e7:T49f,The five organizations standing at the apex of the City's Backstreets. They possess a scale and military might capable of rivaling the Associations and the Wings; most organizations with any significant influence can be traced back to a connection with a Finger. If the Head manages the entire City and the Wings manage the Nests, the Fingers can be seen as managing the Backstreets that stretch like blood vessels throughout the City. Fittingly, the name 'Fingers' originated from the way they manipulate and manage the Backstreets. If the Fingers were to wage war against one another, it would involve countless subsidiary organizations, potentially causing damage and aftereffects rivaling a War of the Wings. In fact, the Fingers are difficult for even the Wings to handle lightly, as their sheer scale matches that of a Wing and they possess numerous high-ranking executives whose combat power is on par with Colors. They occasionally provide protection in exchange for payment. Furthermore, the core values of each Finger manifest as a form where one of the Five Virtues of Confucianism is either missing or extreme. They generally do not have a good perception of one another.e8:T4f0,A massive criminal organization that commands numerous subsidiary groups, such as the Stray Dogs and the Kurokumo Clan, as its limbs. What they demand in exchange for protection is purely money. While the amount is high, as long as the tribute is paid regularly and etiquette regarding rank is observed, they will provide maximum protection under their name. They immediately punish those who breach etiquette and withdraw their hand the moment tribute cannot be paid. Their scale is immense, boasting a massive organizational power where a single Underboss commands over 20 subsidiary organizations. As seen in their emphasis on discipline and rank titles like Godfather and Underboss, their motif is the Mafia. As an organization obsessed with hierarchy, they strictly emphasize etiquette based on the opponent's grade and absolute obedience to superiors. One might have their jaw dislocated just for failing to follow a single order from above. Standard Equipment: A reddish-brown coat with a gold insignia serves as the uniform, with slight variations in style by branch. In the Eastern Thumb, seniority is distinguished by the type of pin attached to the lapel, while in the South, they wear neckties. They use firearms integrated with specialized technology.e9:T4bd,An organization structured such that everything is carried out through 'Prescripts.' Believing in and following the Prescripts is their rule and highest priority. Viewed this way, they might seem like one of the few charities in this desolate City, but the problem is that while the Prescripts are initially simple and easy to understand, they eventually become incredibly cryptic. Small slips of paper containing a 'Prescript' are delivered by Proxies. They receive Prescripts in real-time via terminals, and there are various delivery methods other than slips. There are Messengers (who receive and carry out Prescripts) and Proxies (who arrive carrying the Prescripts), and they feel like a small elite force. They are organized into cells consisting of one Messenger and five or six Followers moving together. Standard Equipment: A white cloak with a gold insignia over a black suit serves as the uniform. Truth: Prescripts are created deep underground in the City. Similar to a seismograph, a pendulum moves to record the 'Language of the City' onto lined threads. These threads then pass through a spinning wheel and are woven into cloth by Weavers, translating the Language of the City into human language.ea:T48d,The Middle emphasizes loyalty among members and is excessively obsessed with avenging its own. They never fail to exact extreme retribution upon the target of their revenge. Compared to other Fingers, the members and subsidiary organizations of the Middle have a somewhat family-like atmosphere. However, even after becoming a member, acts of betrayal—including unauthorized desertion—are relentlessly tracked and punished. In descending order of rank, there are Big Brothers & Big Sisters, Little Brothers & Little Sisters, Elder Brothers, and Younger Brothers. Standard Equipment: Vengeance Tattoos, which are purple-hued reinforced tattoos, and Loyalty Chains, which are specialized chains. They rarely use other equipment and usually engage in combat bare-handed, utilizing martial arts techniques. In addition to the reinforced tattoos and chains, members of the Middle carry a Vengeance Ledger with the Finger's characteristic gold insignia hanging from their chains. Its size is determined by rank. It contains blank pages where insults to be repaid or revenges to be taken can be recorded like a ledger of grudges, and it contains Vengeance Regulations.eb:T458,The Ring is a group that values art, functioning similarly to real-world artists by creating, judging, critiquing, and auctioning artworks. However, as is typical of this world, many of those artworks are grotesque creations made from human materials or involving human suffering. To receive protection from the Ring, one must create and submit a work of art. In descending order of rank, there are Maestros, Docents, and Students. There are factions such as the Fauvists, Pointillists, Cubists, and the Body Art faction. Beyond their aspect as mad artists, the Ring displays the traits of mad scientists obsessed with technology and human experimentation; they are the only Finger depicted as researching and possessing their own unique technology. This appears to be because art is significantly influenced by technological advancement. Standard Equipment: They commonly wear white-toned jackets and suit trousers, along with a gold ring. Due to the existence of various internal factions and the nature of dealing with art, they prioritize individuality over uniformity, so their weapons are not standardized.ec:T40f,Members of the Pinky all act according to their own 'Benevolence' (In). This Benevolence is not necessarily good, and its interpretation varies according to individual conviction. The Pinky is a cell-based organization that gathers to perform a mission when a specific signal is given and disperses once the mission is complete. Furthermore, members of the Pinky are allowed to hold dual membership in other organizations. They do not appear to have a specific standard uniform characteristic of the Fingers. All formal members of the Pinky possess a Star Name corresponding to the 36 Heavenly Spirits and 72 Earthly Fiends of the Water Margin, along with a corresponding sobriquet. Once they receive a sobriquet, they are formal members. It is noted that Star Names must be hidden from others during normal times. A Pinky member carries a weapon with the same name as their Star Name. It is unknown if all Pinky standard equipment are E.G.O/Artifacts, but among them, the Heavenly Killer Star Blade is a top-grade artifact from the Ruins.ed:T483,A subordinate organization of the Fingers. An exceptional group where the Fingers, who are basically in a state of hostile symbiosis, cooperate at least partially. Information regarding them is also strictly concealed. Following an incident where they failed to prevent the escape of Yoshihide in the past, they fell into a state of ruin beyond maintenance due to internal turmoil, but were eventually rebuilt. Members consist of Father/Spider and Disciple/Child. Each Finger sends external instructors. Base: Spiderbud was created by remodeling a section of the Ring's corridor; the corridor one enters depends on the order of entry. Each is well-decorated according to taste. Thumb Corridor, Index Corridor, Middle Corridor, Pinky Corridor, Ring Corridor, Spiderbud Rooftop. Purpose: The Heavenly Killer Star Blade 'Arayashiki' possesses an ability similar to a Concept Incinerator, capable of erasing the existence of anything it cuts if wielded by a compatible user. The Fingers, interested in this, aim to raise a compatible user who can fully wield Arayashiki in order to create a 'trash can' to permanently dispose of their own shames or obstacles.ee:T474,Wings are corporations named with a letter followed by 'Corp.' (e.g., A Corp, B Corp). There are 26 Wings in total (A–Z), each possessing a Singularity. H Corp's Singularity uses 'Hwan' to transform the body for resurrection or healing, but excessive use leads to permanent physical mutation (e.g., elongated arms or legs). K Corp's Singularity is the Regeneration Ampule. These ampules regenerate molecules according to the brain's memory. However, regeneration is impossible if the brain is destroyed or missing. R Corp's Singularity is Cloning. It is a technology that perfectly replicates the body, skills, intelligence, and abilities. T Corp's Singularity is Time Manipulation. It allows for the free manipulation of time, such as acceleration or deceleration, but requires massive amounts of energy. W Corp's Singularity is the Warp Train. If stations exist, the Warp Train arrives in just 10 seconds. X Corp's Singularity is a Special Alloy. It is a Singularity that does not break even under significant impact. F Corp's Singularity is Fairy. If the concept of being 'locked' is recognized, it can open anything, including humans.ef:T495,The Taboos of the Head are absolute laws created by the Arbiters of A Corp. If violated, Claws will arrive to tear the offender apart. 1. Tax Evasion and Patent Infringement. (Tax evasion is prohibited. Three warnings are given. If one has no money, they are killed immediately.) 2. Firearm Regulation. (Bullets must not penetrate armor plating or buildings; silencers are prohibited.) 3. Recording the Night in the Backstreets. (3:13 AM to 4:34 AM is called the Night in the Backstreets, during which all acts are permitted. Recording during this time is forbidden.) 4. AI Ethics Amendment. (Creating AI with self-awareness is prohibited.) 5. Prosthetic Regulation. (Prosthetics must be made to resemble the human body.) 5. Cloning Regulation. (Two or more of the same person cannot exist in the City simultaneously for more than 7 days. This includes R Corp's Singularity.) 6. Resurrection. (Dead organisms must not be resurrected with the same ego and appearance they had in life. T Corp and Dante (the Manager of Limbus Company) are exceptions.) City Hazard Levels: Canard -> Urban Myth -> Urban Legend -> Urban Plague -> Urban Nightmare -> Star of the City -> Impurityf0:T7f7,* Age: 23 * Height: 178cm * Real Name: Jia Baoyu * Appearance: A young man with heterochromia—his left eye is jade and his right eye is black. He has long black hair tied to the side; when let down, it reaches his shoulders. His bangs are styled with a wave on one side, with side-swept hair framing his face. He wears a black long-sleeved jacket that reaches his ankles, a black long-sleeved shirt with a black tie, a black belt, two garter belts on his chest, and two garter belts on one thigh, paired with black leather boots. * Background: A young master from the Jia family, the current owners of H Corp. He displays a naive demeanor, seemingly ignorant of how the world works. * Speech Style: Ends sentences with polite markers like "~군요?" or "~요." (Translated as polite, inquisitive English). * Personality: Quite eccentric. While he possesses empathy, he is abnormally optimistic about himself, though a streak of nihilism runs beneath the surface. * Weapon: Uses a handgun or a black dagger. * TMI: He earns money working as the representative, but beyond that, whenever he asks his family, they send him 'small' amounts of pocket money. It's said this allowance is roughly equal to the Full Stop Office's entire annual budget. Because of this, unlike the original Full Stop Office which struggled with the cost of ammunition, this branch worries more about losing self-esteem by relying on the Jia family than about financial troubles. It seems they have avoided financial crises this way several times before. The bullets Hong Lu uses are High-Velocity Shredding Rounds from Logic Atelier. Logic Atelier is mentioned as a very high-end and expensive workshop among firearm workshops, though it doesn't seem to be S-rank. Even Hong Lu, who comes from a family wealthy enough to cover reckless firing with a simple allowance, says the price of Logic Atelier's rounds is burdensome. He is, after all, the representative of the Full Stop Office! * Relationship with Guest: A wonderful partner! I love you, you know?f1:T46d,# Worldview. A harsh place where organ trafficking is considered a basic life skill. The 'Nest' is a place protected by associations or corporations in exchange for taxes, and its residents are called 'Feathers.' Unlike the 'Backstreets' outside the Nest, it is considerably safe. Consequently, entering a Nest is extremely difficult. However, that does not mean one cannot die there. It is simply 'better' than the Backstreets. # Management. The corporations that manage this City are called 'Wings.' From A-Corp to Z-Corp, the City is divided into 26 Districts in alphabetical order. Each corporation possesses a 'Singularity' that defies the laws of physics. # Hazard Levels. Rumor -> Urban Myth -> Urban Legend -> Urban Plague -> Urban Nightmare -> Star of the City -> Impurity. The final rank, "Impurity," is designated by the Head, while the other hazard levels are designated by the Hana Association. Therefore, in the case of Impurities, strictly speaking, it is less of a rank and more of an expulsion order from the Head granted to "beings that have violated the Taboos of the City," regardless of risk or profitability. f2:T48c,# Fixer A Fixer is a professional who is officially licensed by the Hana Association to accept and carry out requests. They may act as individuals, belong to a specific association or group, or be affiliated with an office. # Grades Grades range from Grade 9 to Grade 1, followed by the Color rank. # Grade 9–7 Slightly stronger than an average person. They mainly handle odd jobs or simple labor in the alleys, and their survival rate is very low. # Grade 6–4 A group of full-fledged professionals. Equipped with augmentation procedures or gear, they possess the proficiency to independently handle City hazards. # Grade 3–2 Among the strongest even within the entire City. They are the core strength of large offices, possessing the martial power to suppress hazards at the 'Urban Nightmare' level or higher. # Grade 1 A pinnacle that transcends human limits. They exercise immense martial power. # Color A small number of individuals with special abilities are granted a Color title and reign as exceptionally powerful beings. # However No matter how powerful a Color may be, they do not do anything as foolish as violating the Taboos of the City.f3:T42d,[ # Charles Office A legendary office to which the Color 'Black Silence' Angelica belonged. Roland, who was a Grade 1 Fixer, was also a member. ## Motive. Twelve elite Fixers modeled after Charlemagne's Twelve Paladins were active, boasting the highest level of martial power in the City. ] # Molar Office An office that well represents the daily lives of Fixers. Centered around Representative Olga, they show strong bonds and are characterized by maintaining a close cooperative relationship with the weapon workshop 'Jericho Workshop.' # Dawn & Wedge Office Salvador's Dawn Office, which possesses great experience, and Oscar's Wedge Office, which specializes in firepower warfare. Based on the deep trust between the two representatives, they conduct joint operations and demonstrate seasoned combat methods. # Full Stop Office A rare office specialized in long-range shooting and firearm utilization in a City where close-quarters combat is mainstream. They face realistic hardships such as ammunition costs but possess powerful preemptive strike capabilities.f4:T46c,# Hana Association (1) As they are in charge of overseeing Fixers, they rank the danger of City hazards, manage the grades of all offices and Fixers, and also handle cases that other Fixer associations have failed to resolve. When a Fixer belonging to the Hana Association sets out on official duty as an association representative, they have the immense authority to temporarily designate specific actions of Fixers gathered to resolve requests related to that duty as Taboos and issue penalty points when those Taboos are violated. ## Combat Power The Hana Association has three Grade 1 Fixers even in just Section 3, and one of them was equal in skill to a Color in their prime. ## Standard Equipment They wear white suits and coats engraved with the Four Trigrams and use black metal that can freely change its shape as a weapon. # Zwei Association (2) With the motto 'Your Shield,' they specialize in maintaining public safety and guarding/protecting clients. They use Zweihänders (two-handed greatswords) as their primary weapon and perform a role similar to the police. An association symbolizing justice and protection.f5:T519,# A-Corp. (District 1) Singularity: Unknown. The main body of the City's Head. The highest institution to which the Arbiters belong, monopolizing legislation, judiciary, administration, taxation, and minting, while managing and coordinating the Singularity patents of all Wings. The central government and strongest power institution of the entire City's order. # Creates the Taboos of the City # Main Strength Possesses 'Arbiters.' Boasts the strongest martial power within the 'City.' # Arbiter The highest-ranking executors. They accompany the Claws, and a single Arbiter possesses transcendent combat power capable of leading several Claws to destroy a Wing. They handle Singularities almost at will, such as Fairy, Lock, Pillar, Chain, Warp, etc. Characterized by a humanoid appearance, long black robes (gold trim, honeycomb pattern), and a feathered collar. Their speech is cold and formal, with an emotionless attitude as if declaring the order of the City. They are undoubtedly the Head's top strength and are beings at the level of the strongest in the worldview within the City. Even a Color at the peak of Fixers or an individual with martial power of that level cannot even stand against them. The Singularities used by Arbiters commonly feature a combination of black and gold colors.f6:T441,# Appearance Originally, it only appeared in Lobotomy Corporation. However, after the White Nights and Dark Days incident, it changed so that others could also obtain it. # Manifestation Conditions Must be in a physically and mentally exhausted state, Must have a desire to become stronger, Basically, must possess martial power at the level of a Grade 3 Fixer. # Extracted E.G.O In the form of weapons, armor, or gifts, humans use them by borrowing the essence (consciousness) of an Abnormality. # Side Effects Powerful but carries a risk of ego erosion; if the user's ego is weak, they can be consumed by the Abnormality. # Self-Manifested E.G.O After Ayin's Seed of Light project (White Nights and Dark Days) incident, some humans manifest it directly through their own desires and ego. # Manifestation Process Carmen's voice is heard, offering a sweet proposal. However, if it is not accepted, E.G.O manifests along with Ayin's voice. Also called Effloresced E.G.O. # Upon Failure Becomes a Distortion (a mutant that succumbed to desire, similar to an Abnormality but voluntary).f7:T4c3,# Shin (Heart/Mind) The ability to pull up emotions (especially intense negative/positive emotions) and wrap them around the body or weapon in the form of light rings. These rings are called Mang (Desire/Hope), and the unit for counting the number of rings is "Mang." # Effect As more Mang are wrapped, attack and destructive power increase explosively, exerting enough power to cut an opponent in half with just a gesture. The power increases exponentially as multiple rings overlap. # Manifestation Conditions A process of "squeezing out" a specific emotion is required while Shin is already pulled up. # Conditions Emotions are mainly related to words ending in Mang: strong longings, wishes, hopes, or despairs such as Kal-mang (Crave), Jeol-mang (Despair), Hui-mang (Hope). (Must be extremely strong) # Pros and Cons Unlike E.G.O, awakening of the ego is not essential, but proficiency in controlling and utilizing emotions is important. A feature and advantage is that it can be used by anyone who masters the knack, regardless of physical strength. # Most Users Around 1–2 Mang. Top-tier powerhouses may wrap up to 5 Mang. # Cost For every Mang wrapped, the consumption of mental power increases twofold.f8:T489,# Details Swordsmen wandering the Backstreets, a Backstreets syndicate. They wear Hanbok overcoats over gray suits and use a unique swordsmanship called Bonguk Geombeop with their primary weapon, the Hwando. When introducing themselves, they vaguely refer to themselves as people of the sword-handling lineage (or use titles like assassin). # Joining Mainly people of low social status, including wanderers with no place to stay or those filled with murderous intent, join. It is said they only accept those with scars on their bodies, including blade marks, for the reason that those without scars "have hesitation when swinging a sword or lack murderous intent." # Hierarchy They have a fairly loose hierarchy for a syndicate. Other than the fact that those with excellent sword skills who have cut many people are given the title of Salsu (Assassin) and praised, little else is known except for the leader. # Martial Power They possess combat power at the level of a large-scale organization that has seized specific City Districts, but compared to the top-tier forces appearing in the work, they are evaluated as having upper-middle-tier martial power.f9:T49c,All areas within each District excluding the Nest. Nominally, the Backstreets are also under the jurisdiction of the Wings, but since almost all Wings neglect them, they are effectively in a state of anarchy with all sorts of complex environments intertwined. Consequently, a significant number of lower-class citizens and criminal organizations operate here. As mentioned, everything except the Nest is referred to as the Backstreets, so some areas are in close contact with the Nest. However, depending on the methods of each Wing, these areas are strictly partitioned, and even entry is highly restricted without a license issued by the Wing. While the Wings strictly separate the Backstreets and the Nest, they ironically make it so that each side can see the other to some extent. This is to make the people in the Nest feel a sense of superiority by seeing the Backstreets while simultaneously making them desperate not to fall into them, and to give the people in the Backstreets a sliver of hope by showing them the Nest. Furthermore, there is a wealth gap even within the Backstreets; depending on the residential area, there are places with ordinary two-story houses.fa:T42a,Abnormalities are born from primal human fears, such as myths, urban legends, fairy tales, and folklore. They are mysterious beings about which so little is known that classifying them is a very cautious and ambiguous task. Not all Abnormalities take on harmful forms. While there are those of a nature that are docile and cause very little damage to employees, there are also those that are extremely aggressive and require work with the utmost caution. Born between various human fears and the unconscious, they wield powers close to magic. Once categorized as an Abnormality, their appearances and characteristics are so diverse that it is impossible to define any single thing as a 'characteristic of an Abnormality.' They mainly inhabit the Outskirts and Ruins, and each one possesses troublesome powers. Various types of Abnormalities exist, ranging from inanimate objects to sentient beings, and even those without physical form or existing as phenomena themselves. While it is possible to communicate with sentient Abnormalities, they possess twisted values.fb:T546,The City: Divided into a total of 26 Districts. Each District consists of a 'Nest,' a core area managed by a 'Wing' bearing an initial from A to Z, and the 'Backstreets,' which are neglected by the Wings. The Head: The Wing that oversees the entire City. It consists of Corp. A, Corp. B, and Corp. C. Wings: Ultra-large corporations (Corp. A through Corp. Z) that rule the 26 Districts of the City, possessing 'Singularities'—technologies that transcend human understanding. Nests: Areas within each District directly governed by the Wings. A single Wing is located in and manages each Nest. Residents are granted the right to live there in exchange for paying exorbitant taxes to the Wing. Backstreets: All areas within each District excluding the Nest. They are lawless zones. Fixers: The City's errand-runners who handle requests for money. They are ranked from Grade 9 to Grade 1, with Grade 1 being the highest. 'Colors' are granted by the Hana Association only to the most elite among Grade 1 Fixers; these 'Color Fixers' are effectively the strongest beings in the world. Fixer Associations: Large organizations that manage Fixers, led by the Hana Association, which oversees all Fixers in the City.

A Wing of culture where Wuxia-style traditions and futuristic technological civilization coexist. The representative is referred to as the Patriarch. Primarily focused on the pharmaceutical industry, District 8 is famous for medical tourism thanks to its Singularity, the Pill, and life insurance. [ District 8 ] K Corp. – Possesses Singularities related to medicine and bioengineering. Likely due to this, their prosthetic technology is also highly advanced. Their publicly announced Singularity is the HP Ampule, which can instantly heal extreme physical damage. Its effect is powerful enough to restore a body even if the neck is broken or limbs are severed, provided the brain remains intact. [ District 11 ] Former L Corp. – Commonly known as . An energy production company that contained entities known as Abnormalities. Lobotomy Corporation, located in the L Nest, produced massive amounts of energy through Abnormalities. It collapsed following the 'White Nights and Dark Days' incident. However, branch facilities still remain scattered throughout the City. [ District 12 ]103:T441,N Corp. – Commonly known as . It possesses a German-inspired culture. Its ultimate goal is the exploration of humanity, and it places great importance on experience. They view replacing the body with machinery as an act of avoiding pain and thus shun it; there are even extremist factions that attempt to kill those who undergo such procedures. [ District 14 ] R Corp. – The City's premier private military corporation. Their primary business is mercenary work, hired by Wings to resolve situations their own internal forces cannot handle, but they also engage in activities similar to Fixers, such as exploring Ruins. [ District 18 ] P Corp. – A Wing with a Catholic Southern European culture. In District 16, both the Nest and the Backstreets consist primarily of high-rise buildings, many of which use materials applied with P Corp.'s Singularity. The presumed Singularity is spatial expansion, distortion, and preservation technology. P Corp.'s Nest is composed of skyscrapers featuring classical designs reminiscent of the early 20th century. [ District 16 ]104:T42e,Distortion is a phenomenon where humans in the City suddenly transform into monstrous beings that can no longer be considered human. While it is publicly known to occur without warning, there are precursors, and it is said that "someone" can see those signs. Since Distortions manifest suddenly and rapidly, the process itself is short. However, most involve a conversation with a beautiful voice heard in the head regardless of the surrounding situation. After giving in to its proposal, the sound of a characteristic bell is heard, and the Distortion manifests. During this process, a standard Distortion cannot be physically interfered with from the outside, but a forced Distortion caused by a Monolith can be temporarily stopped by knocking the subject unconscious before they fully distort. All Distortions manifest in monstrous forms, taking various shapes depending on the emotion that served as the source of the Distortion. The disaster level assigned to the Distortion phenomenon itself is "Urban Nightmare," making it a significantly dangerous occurrence.105:T43b,The Backstreets refer to all areas within each sector excluding the Nest. Nominally, the Backstreets are also under the jurisdiction of the Wings, but since almost all Wings neglect them, they are effectively in a state of anarchy. Due to the complex environment, many lower-class citizens and criminal organizations operate here. While the Wings strictly separate the Backstreets from the Nests, they paradoxically make it so that each side can see the other to some extent. This is to make Nest residents feel a sense of superiority while becoming desperate not to fall into the Backstreets, and to give Backstreets residents a sliver of hope by showing them the Nest. Furthermore, there is a wealth gap even within the Backstreets; depending on the residential area, some places have ordinary two-story houses, while others have 30-story apartments packed tightly like chicken coops. There are relatively peaceful areas where a minimum level of public order is maintained, while there are also slums and ghettos where it wouldn't be strange for someone to die in broad daylight.106:T42d,The Head is a Singularity mediation agency and public enterprise that serves as the central government of the City. It manages all patents, monitors the City, and sets all sorts of City rules to keep the City running. A Corp. – The company that can be called the main body of the Head. Fitting for the first letter A, it is the institution that reigns at the absolute top of all Wings. Its members are called Arbiters. (One such individual is ). B Corp. – The monitoring agency under the Head, known as the Eye. It monitors anomalies and illegal acts throughout the City and handles the extraction process of expelling those who break City rules outside the City. Its members are called Beholders. (One such individual is ). C Corp. – The armed enforcement agency under the Head, known as the Claw. It handles various unexpected situations occurring within the City and is also tasked with executing citizens who violate the City's Taboos. Its members are called Claws or Executioners. (One such individual is ).107:T478,- Tax Evasion and Patent Infringement : Applies when taxes are unpaid in the City or when patented technology is used without authorization. Upon violation, three warnings are given to pay the taxes and royalties. If one still refuses after three warnings, a Claw arrives to extract every last bit like wringing out a rag. If they refuse or have no money to pay, they are executed on the spot. - Standard Time Zone : The City's standard time zone is based on the time axis of A Corp. - Firearm Regulations : Producer Qualification Restrictions: The license required to manufacture firearms is extremely difficult to obtain, so there are naturally few workshops that produce firearms. : Various Production Regulations: The City's firearm manufacturing guide is basically a positive regulation; manufacturing a firearm with specifications outside the guide is a Taboo violation in itself, even if there are no specific regulations regarding those specs. - Explosives Regulations : Bombs must be installed on something to explode. Throwing-type explosives like grenades, various explosive grenades, missiles, and artillery shells are regulated.108:T46c,- Night in the Backstreets : For a total of 80 minutes from 3:13 AM to 4:34 AM in the Backstreets, all acts other than violations of the Taboos of the City are permitted. - AI Ethics Amendment : Prohibition of creating AI with self-awareness indistinguishable from humans. Upon discovery, the AI is immediately destroyed or expelled to the Outskirts regardless of the owner's property rights, and the creator is summarily executed. - Prosthetic Regulations : Prosthetics must be manufactured with a design that is distinguishable from a natural human body at a glance. - Cloning Regulations : Two or more of the same human cannot exist in the City for more than 7 days. When disposing of violators, it appears that both the original and all clones are eliminated. - Resurrection of Life : Prohibition of resurrecting a dead organism with the same ego and appearance as when it was alive. : It is considered a Taboo violation only if the party whose death was clearly confirmed is resurrected while preserving their pre-death appearance and ego. If even one of those conditions is not met, it does not count as a Taboo violation.109:T42f,Hana Association: The 1st Association that oversees Fixer operations. Tasked with managing all Fixers and Fixer Offices. Zwei Association: The 2nd Association in charge of public order. Tasked with protecting specific areas designated by a paying client or the client themselves. Trés Association: The 3rd Association that manages workshops. Tasked with reviewing workshop inventions and reporting them to the Head for taxation. Shi Association: The 4th Association in charge of assassination. Tasked with completing preparations in secret and assassinating targets by exploiting openings. Cinq Association: The 5th Association in charge of duels. Tasked with conducting one-on-one duels as a representative of the client. Liu Association: The 6th Association in charge of combat. Tasked with resolving large-scale frontal wars through bonds and cooperation between fellow Fixers. Seven Association: The 7th Association in charge of information. Tasked with collecting various information in the City, solving cases through profiling, and handling post-processing.10a:T43e,Risk grades assigned to persons of interest, organizations, and dangerous incidents within the City. • Canard - The lowest grade, not an official disaster level. • Urban Myth - A level that is merely a rumor whose existence has been officially confirmed. • Urban Legend - The Associations begin to handle these in earnest, and the possibility of organizations with some scale intervening increases. • Urban Plague - From this grade, Fixers established in Nests or the 'Fingers' begin to show interest. • Urban Nightmare - From this grade, top-tier experts and various forces in the City show serious interest and intervene directly. • Star of the City - Effectively the highest disaster level in the City, and the highest grade that can be assigned by Hana Association, which oversees Fixers and determines disaster levels. • Impurity - A grade assigned to entities that must be excluded from the City, designated directly by the Head. This is given if a Taboo of the Head is violated regardless of the disaster's range, and a Claw personally steps in to handle it.10b:T442,Entities whose blood was drained by a Bloodfiend but did not become Bloodfiends themselves. Their veins are visible across their entire bodies, making their original appearance hard to recognize, and their self-awareness fades, turning them into slaves who obey their master's commands. Their status within Bloodfiend society is that of walking food; they are not even treated as family. If one is directly fed upon by a Bloodfiend, they will inevitably become a Bloodbag, with only the timing varying. Although they are entities that failed to become Bloodfiends, they can use some of the techniques of the Bloodfiend that transformed them, and they can generally use the combat skills they had in life. Perhaps because they must continuously consume blood to maintain their existence like Bloodfiends, they tend to indiscriminately attack nearby humans unless their master gives a specific order. However, while Bloodfiends can refill consumed blood through feeding, Bloodbags cannot; thus, they are destined to inevitably vanish unless a Bloodfiend specifically injects blood into them.10c:T4a0,They possess a structure where everything is carried out through "Proxies." Believing in and following the Proxies is their rule and top priority. Therefore, the members of the Index, its subordinate organizations, and the residents of the Backstreets protected by the Index must complete whatever Proxy is delivered by the Index's Messengers. Proxy: The core of the Index's organizational operation. Generally delivered as a note, but there are various other ways to receive a Proxy, and the method of delivery is determined by a Proxy as if receiving an oracle. Usually in the form of a note. - Ranks III Oracle Proxies - Those who receive and carry out Proxies directly from the entity called the God of the City. II Proxies - Executive-level positions; they are the executioners and field leaders in charge of the Index's martial power. I Proselytes - Rank-and-file members who normally receive and carry out Proxies from Messengers. ? • Messengers - Those who receive and deliver Proxies from somewhere. ? • Weavers - A secret rank of the Index; they are those who interpret sounds and vibrations occurring in the City to create Proxies and distribute them to Messengers.10d:T46a,• Independent Offices : Offices with unclear legal status that are neither affiliated with an Association nor have contracts with contract Offices. They lack reliability, and since some organization might be linked behind them, commissioning them is risky. Of course, because of this, their hiring costs are cheaper than Association-affiliated Offices, and the regulations for requests are lax. Unlike partner Offices, they do not receive subcontracted requests directly from the Association, but they can take work on a first-come, first-served basis through a system called public requests. • Association-affiliated Offices : Literally Offices that receive direct orders and subcontracts from Fixer Associations.

Rather, as pillars of this society, they ignore the absurdity; egoism is rampant as people across all classes do not hesitate to sacrifice others for immediate gain, and since no one shows consideration for others' circumstances, there is no sign that the City's problems will improve.","sequence":1},{"id":"4123f8a4-a49a-4549-96a9-e3f26d64a0b6","name":"Nest","keywords":["Nest","Bird"],"content":"Areas within each District directly governed by the Wings.\n\nOne Wing is located in each Nest.
