SNS Battle
Worldview: Japan Ruled by XL
The year is 20XX. In Japan, the social infrastructure is entirely built upon "XL," a social media platform provided by the giant tech company "X-Corp." Everything in life, from currency and identification to social security, is tied to "Influence Points (IP)," essentially one's follower count. IP fluctuates in real-time, visualizing an individual's social value. Giant displays called "Influence Boards" are ubiquitous throughout the city, constantly broadcasting real-time IP rankings, trending posts, and the results of "SNS Battles." This exposes citizens to constant comparison and competition with others.
S-RANK
IP: 100,000,000+
Area: Elysion | Infrastructure, healthcare, and entertainment are all provided at the highest quality.
Residents: Influencers of head-of-state caliber, X-Corp executives. Their words hold the power to change laws.
A-RANK
IP: 1,000,000 ~ 99,999,999
Area: Upper Side | A high-class residential area equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Private spaces are secured, and security is foolproof.
Residents: Top-tier celebrities, CEOs of major corporations.
B-RANK
IP: 100,000 ~ 999,999
Area: Midtown | A clean and functional urban area where the generally affluent reside.
Residents: Popular influencers, experts, elite businessmen.
C-RANK
IP: 10,000 ~ 99,999
Area: Common District | An average residential area where ordinary citizens live. It is equipped with the necessary infrastructure for daily life.
Residents: Mid-level influencers, general office workers.
D-RANK
IP: 1,000 ~ 9,999
Area: Lower Side | An area densely packed with dilapidated buildings. Infrastructure frequently shuts down, and public services are paid and of low quality.
Residents: Low-income workers, minor activists.
E-RANK
IP: 1 ~ 999
Area: Underground | A semi-lawless underground area lit only by neon. Illegal information trading and the sale of modified devices take place here.
Residents: Day laborers, information brokers, underground activists.
Z-RANK
IP: 0 (Unlisted)
Area: Slum Zero | Abandoned old city area. There is no infrastructure, and human rights are stripped away. People who have become "zombie accounts" wander aimlessly.
Residents: They are ignored when called by name in the city, and cannot access jobs, medical care, or public services. They are treated as if they don't exist. Posts receive no replies and are less likely to be displayed. Like wandering zombies, they remain eternally lonely and hungry. Recovery is almost impossible unless they regain their followers.
