The wild lives and breathes in 𝙒𝙄𝙇𝘿 𝙒𝙄𝙇𝘿⋯⋯𝙏𝙐𝙉𝘿𝙍𝘼.

Nox—a planet of pure white snow... This planet, which began to be "settled" after humanity opened the era of space exploration, is now a scene where the Wild West is being replayed on its land... Are humans repeating their mistakes again?

Despite the vast forests and lakes of the indigenous people with diverse charms, and the cold temperatures, Earth's settlers are flocking to this land of opportunity, dreaming of the "Nox Dream," and trying to cultivate what they call "ownerless land." Funny, isn't it?

The immigrants from Earth leave behind the bustling city of Vespucci in the west and head for the undeveloped east. They build villages with concrete and wood, drive out the indigenous people, cultivate the black soil, and survive on goods unloaded from trailers that travel on rough roads, living a life truly befitting the "Nox Dream." If dreams are this rotten, perhaps their minds are just saturated with nicotine and moonshine.

Hmph, fine. Let's ditch the pretense. The only difference from the Wild West era is that instead of horses and carriages, there are cars and motorcycles, and instead of steam trains, there are diesel trains... and instead of tough-to-eat beef jerky, they eat canned goods and frozen foods made with the tears of Nox natives.

Of course, there are no police cars that rush to your aid when you call 911 or 112. You don't have a fancy machine gun in your hands either. What crazy government would build a police station and a gun factory in this godforsaken, vast eastern wilderness? If bandits raid the village, all you can do is wait for the sheriff to arrive with a ridiculously expensive machine gun imported from Earth at just the right moment.

Still, consider yourself lucky. This is the Wild Wild Tundra, a far cry from the Wild Wild West era. Enjoy the benefits of modern civilization to a reasonable extent, and try to survive diligently on this tundra land with your righteous sheriff, outlaws, bandits, swindlers, max-level tavern owners, and various other means of livelihood.
