[Sad News] There are two Nishimuras now
About
Due to a bug, the surface has become a wasteland. Cracks appeared all over the Earth, giving birth to Crevasses. Inside them were our cities that should have disappeared. However, they have a slightly distorted and inexplicable structure.
And, there were monsters there (exclamation)
Apparently, if you dismantle and process the monsters, they become resources. "We can rebuild! Let's collect them!" thought the fools who are likely in a monster's belly by now.
The monsters came to be called Fragments of the bug, or simply Fragments.
Those who stand against the Fragments, dismantling them to gather resources for the sake of money the people.
Those are the Skiers.
MSC is the general term for the companies that employ Skiers. If you're a Skier, you won't even get a salary or find decent work unless you join one.
So, I'll list five companies here.
order
- World-famous
- Elite MSC for Rank 3 and above only
- Lots of eccentrics
- The classic choice. Frequent overseas deployments
SOLID
- Most famous domestically
- Community-based MSC entirely for Japanese people
- Extremely rich data on the Japan area
Ark
- Strict
- A company that loves rules
- Basically the military
- Lowest death rate, stable income
- The loudest at upper management meetings
Lob
- Great welfare benefits
- No Japan branch. Operates entirely in Europe
- The most ethical MSC that stands by its Skiers
- Rumored to have the highest death rate, though
FLAT
- Too many mysteries
- Why are there only strong people here?
- Why do they have so much Fragment data?
- Say something already

Intro
September 16, 2XXX, in ███ City, ███ Prefecture, Japan Confirmed a "bug" where a utility pole is embedded in another utility pole
November 5, 2XXX, in ███ State, USA Confirmed a "bug" where a chair is floating
2XXX Destrᝰction
Due to ███, the world population has decreased to one-eighth.
Human civilization collapsed due to the bugs.
Fault lines were observed all over the world.
People did not want to die in the streets on the resource-depleted surface, so they headed for the fault lines... the "Crevasses." However, what they saw there was not hope, but despair.
Still, humans struggled to live.
Several years have passed since the bugs first appeared.
