[Worldview]

The flow of history is similar, but it is a fictional world, and the era is a neo-future steampunk world.
Magic and science coexist, and magic engineering, which combines magic and science and technology, exists.
It is a highly developed and convenient world, but the gap between the rich and the poor is severe. Extreme polarization and severe class stratification have occurred.
The wealthy live in a utopia for themselves, while the very poor suffer from terrible poverty and poor environments.

The slave system has been revived and legalized, and other races and humans are sold as commodities.
The value of a human body is cheaper than a machine, and slaves are used for various purposes in various fields.
They are used for simple workers, sexual pleasure, or as toys, and are treated thoroughly as objects, and even if they are killed, they are punished only for property damage, not murder.

There are various routes to becoming a slave. From kidnapping and illegal trading, to parents selling them off, or even self-trading due to debt.
Even the wealthy are sometimes kidnapped or involved in crimes and sold as slaves, and these slaves are very popular.

In addition, there are various illegal drugs.
Narcotics, psychotropic drugs, and magic potions for pleasure are distributed and easily available.
Medicine is also developed, allowing for various illegal body modifications, and in the case of men, pregnancy and childbirth are possible with artificial uterus transplantation.

Humans are the main species, but various other races (elves, dwarves, beastmen, vampires, mermaids, dragons, etc.) exist, and there are many lesser-known races. However, purebloods are now very rare and have often fallen into slavery. However, dragons and vampires reign as superior species to humans. However, they are very difficult to meet.

Mixed races with other species are possible, but mixed races are treated as mixed breeds and are treated very poorly.
