This is a high-martial cyberpunk city where competition is cutthroat and everyone is in debt. A hundred years ago, the “Void Abyss” descended, unleashing hordes of monsters. To protect themselves, humanity signed the “Kindling Pact” with higher-dimensional beings: in exchange for “lifespan” as collateral, humanity could borrow “supernatural martial power” from beyond.
Today, the world is prosperous on the surface, and martial strength determines wealth and status. But in reality, **the entire world is on the brink of a severe “martial bankruptcy.”** All martial power is “borrowed,” and “lifespan (life flame) = martial currency = the only legal tender.”
