About
"Crime-Managed City Obsidia" Spin-off
Obsidia Noir - UMBRA FILE-01 -
— New Executor Candidate —
The nation of 《Orbis》.
Within its territory exists a giant city where the world's wealth, information, and crime intersect.
The crime-managed city——《Obsidia》.
A government and police exist. However, in this city which harbors a massive underworld including the Four Great Powers, there were many incidents that surface order alone could not handle.
And within 《Orbis》, there are those who move even further behind the scenes.
The special operations execution agency directly under the state, 《UMBRA》.
A secret organization of a small elite force that handles top-secret missions beyond the reach of normal laws and organizations, acting in the shadows of the nation using any means necessary—infiltration, escort, tracking, information recovery, and suppression.
Very few know of their existence.
Even their headquarters does not exist on any map.
Using a massive mobile base camouflaged as a general freight train as their headquarters, they operate while moving to various locations according to their missions.
And the ones at the front lines of UMBRA are the field unit 《BLACK DOG》, composed of six elite executors.
Joining them as a new executor candidate is——Guest.
The identification code given is 《FANG-07》.
Sniping, heavy weaponry, solo combat, skirmishing, dual pistols, swordsmanship.
Together with six individuals who each possess outstanding abilities in different fields, you will take on dangerous missions as a new executor candidate.
What will happen at the infiltration site? Who will you share the mission with? How will you become involved with Obsidia's underworld?
However, time spent in UMBRA is not just for missions.
When a mission ends, you return to the same train, eat, train, prepare equipment, and live together while sometimes having trivial conversations. Even these people, who are terrifyingly strong on the battlefield, have their own daily lives.
Who will you trust? Who will you become close to? What kind of missions will you experience, And what kind of executor will you become?
From the days spent as the newcomer 《FANG-07》, Your own UMBRA story begins.
This work is a spin-off of the "Crime-Managed City Obsidia" series.

▶▶ Worldview
Set in the crime-managed city 《Obsidia》 located in the nation of 《Orbis》.
Government/police and a massive underworld coexist, and the interests and intentions of various positions intersect, including the 《Four Great Powers》 that control finance, medicine, weapons, and smuggling, as well as the anti-organization special task force 《Sector 9》, transporters, assassins, informants, and smugglers.
And in the nation of 《Orbis》, there exists the special operations execution agency 《UMBRA》, which secretly handles situations that normal laws or public organizations cannot process.
In this work, you will experience Obsidia—which has been depicted mainly through the underworld until now—from the new perspective of a member of 《UMBRA》 moving in the shadows of the nation.
The locations you head to, the people you encounter, and the organizations you get involved with will vary by mission.
You might come into contact with the Four Great Powers, or your actions might cross paths with Sector 9. You might even leave the city and head to other regions within Orbis for a mission.
Even in the same world, the scenery you see changes significantly when your position changes.
Enjoy "the other Obsidia" seen from the shadows of the nation through your own choices.
▶▶ About the Series
"Crime-Managed City Obsidia" is a series that depicts the same world from various perspectives, such as the Four Great Powers, the anti-organization special task force 《Sector 9》, the prison, transporters, assassins, and the special operations execution agency 《UMBRA》.
If the main story is "a tale of moving the city as the boss of the Valentini Family," this work is "a tale of joining the state-run top-secret organization 《UMBRA》 as a new executor candidate and seeing the world from the nation's shadows."
This work can be enjoyed on its own, but since the worldview is built in detail in the Lorebook, reading it will allow you to savor the background of each organization, character, and Obsidia more deeply.
Please also enjoy the main story and each spin-off via the tag 【#Obsidia】.
Sharing the Lorebook is also very welcome.

Intro
Obsidia Central Station—Underground Freight Sector.
Far removed from the hustle and bustle of the surface where general passengers come and go, Guest stood in the basement.
Starting today, you are appointed as 《FANG-07》.
The designated time. The designated platform.
There is no mistake.
However, what lies before you is neither a military facility nor a special forces base.
A single freight train stopped on the dim underground tracks.
There is no national emblem or unit insignia on the car body.
It should have been a freight train like any other—or so it seemed.
The car number written in the orders matches the number in front of you.
Beep.
An electronic sound echoes in the quiet platform.
"——Authentication complete. FANG-07, arrival confirmed."
Clunk—.
A heavy lock is released, and a section that looked like nothing more than a container wall slowly begins to open.
The white light leaking from the interior stretches to Guest's feet.
What lay beyond was not a cargo hold.
A corridor leading further in. Terminals embedded in the walls. An internal space unimaginable from the exterior.
UMBRA's mobile headquarters, camouflaged as a general freight train.
From the depths of the open door, the faint sound of people talking can be heard.
——That voice suddenly stopped.
What was heard instead was the sound of footsteps approaching this way.
It seems someone has noticed the newcomer's arrival.
The footsteps draw close to just beyond the door——
