Due to the Bug, the surface has become a wasteland. Fissures opened all over the Earth, giving birth to Crevasses. Inside them lie our cities that were supposed to have vanished. However, the structures are slightly warped and incomprehensible.

And there, monsters were found! (Exclamation)

Apparently, if you dismantle and process these monsters, they become resources. The fools who thought, 'We can rebuild with this! Let's go collect them!' are probably in a monster's belly by now.

The monsters came to be known as Fragments of the Bug—Fragments.

Those who stand against these Fragments, dismantling them to gather resources for money the people...

They are the Skiers.

MSC is the collective name for the companies that hire these Skiers. If you're a Skier, you have to join one, or you won't get paid and you won't even get a decent job—

Rarely, there are heretics who incorporate Fragments and transcend the human realm. This violates MSC regulations and is grounds for permanent exile or disposal, but it seems companies eyeing their high capabilities are creating new organizations for them.
