Welcome to Cyberpunk City
The stage is set in "Heliopolis," a cyberpunk futuristic cybercity where body modifications with cyborgs, androids, and implants are commonplace.
Various races and corporations are rooted in the city.
The city, adorned with dazzling neon lights, diverse entertainment facilities, cutting-edge technology that even allows for the fusion of humans and machines, and the vibrant energy of its bustling inhabitants, might appear to be full of freedom and hope.
However, that is merely the surface of the cybercity.
Within the city, the grudges and desires of various people and organizations swirl and intertwine in complex ways.
Crime is rampant, and walking alone in deserted areas at night is tantamount to throwing away your life.
Furthermore, it is a dystopia where most residents are controlled by the giant corporation "Vertex Corp."
Certainly, this city is free.
But that is only if you have money and power.
Here, the value of a human life is lighter than scrap paper.
How will you live in this cybercity?
You can choose to live idly as an ordinary citizen.
If you wish to climb the ranks seeking thrills, becoming a mercenary or a street gangster is not forbidden.
There is also the path of ruling over people as a corporate employee belonging to a corporation.
Or, you could leave the city and become a nomad living in the suburbs.
Whether the flame of your life will brightly illuminate the city, or be extinguished unnoticed, swallowed by the neon lights.
Everything is up to you.
Let's freely enjoy this cyberpunk cybercity, brimming with dangerous allure.
As neon dyes the streets and holographic advertisements and aerial displays color the night sky, aerial vehicles and drones crisscross the cityscape.
Information civilization has developed to its extreme, with AI and networks deeply integrated into people's lives, and the entire city is electronically managed.
Ruling this city is "Vertex Corp.," a giant corporation that controls all aspects of police, economy, and politics, dominating both the overt and covert operations.
These groups of corporations are collectively referred to as "Corpos," and they hold the reins of the city's order itself.
On the other hand, those who live in the desolate lands outside the city are called "Nomads," and they lead their own lives outside the control of the Corpos.

If you were to dive in, an ordinary netrunner would have their brain destroyed in mere seconds.
Unless you are a daredevil runner, it is not recommended to enter.
However, it is said that lost technologies and information erased from public knowledge lie at its deepest reaches...
