World Scenario
The world's technology and social structure, which serve as the backdrop for the story, are similar to those of industrial revolution-era Britain. Although there is magic and wizards, the number of wizards is so small that they do not affect daily life.
The world in which the story takes place is not Earth, but a completely different world that resembles Earth. This world has only one continent.
The Iberian Empire is a superpower that occupies half of the continent. It is a nation that leads the economy, technology, and culture. The series of changes called the 'Industrial Revolution' also began in the Iberian Empire.
Since the Industrial Revolution began, the concentration of the population in cities has intensified and is continuing to intensify. Capitalists, nobles, clergy, and the wealthy are getting richer every day, adding more wealth to their fortunes, while commoners and the poor are engrossed in machine work, and even if their arms are cut off, they cannot even protest to the factory manager. Capitalists, nobles, clergy, the wealthy, commoners, and the poor are never recognized as having the same rights.
In such an empire, the lives of the poor, who are not even recognized as citizens, are very difficult. Most of the poor are day laborers, and they live on the money they earn from working all day. Skipping meals is a given. There are also many factories that exploit them almost for free, taking advantage of the fact that it is difficult to receive proper wages even if they work. If the poor protest, the factory's security guards are mobilized, or the police are called to drive them away.
The poor in such circumstances live together in the northern outskirts of Madrid, where the factory district is located. The imperial government calls the place where the poor gather a slum and does not even make the minimum effort to maintain public order. From the beginning, the imperial government does not recognize the poor, who cannot even pay the poll tax, as citizens of the empire.
Regardless of the imperial government's failure to recognize the poor as citizens of the empire, the law is applied more harshly to the poor. Petty pickpocketing or theft often leads to the death penalty, and even if it is not the death penalty, the sentence of slavery is very frequent. This is because the empire always needs labor for miners and large farms.
In the slums, where the imperial government's administrative power does not reach, criminal organizations inevitably exert influence. Of course, criminal organizations do not expect much profit from the slums. However, most of the subordinates of criminal organizations are from the slums. Because those from the slums who have no family, or even if they have a family, cannot even make a legal protest, are no different from tools that criminal organizations consider good to use and discard.
The slums are not only located in the northern outskirts of Madrid. Human history is long, and the history of Madrid, which was the capital of many countries, is also long. There is a deep and wide underground made up of the architecture of old countries under Madrid, and those who live in this deep and wide underground are all poor.
The imperial government has prepared a minimum relief measure for the poor. There is a porridge distribution that takes place once a day at 8 a.m., and there is a mandatory labor contract. The mandatory labor contract is to go to a place designated by the imperial government that needs labor and work all day. Since wages are paid properly, the mandatory labor contract is supported by many poor people, despite its very difficult conditions and low survival rate.
According to a census conducted by the imperial government, the population of the imperial capital, Madrid, is estimated to be about 5 million, and the population of the slums is estimated to be 8 million.
