Time washes away the marks we leave behind...
If life could last forever, just like time,
would we be able to find a reason to keep living?
Those who live in the shadows already know:
Even burdened with sins and punishments they do not deserve,
they should still live by their own convictions to the very end
In 2035, the invention of life-extension technology benefited all of humanity. However, limited production meant that only a handful of the wealthy and powerful truly benefited. They used the life-extension devices to prolong their lives while continuing to exploit the people at the bottom. After nearly a decade of oppression, the people rose up, resisting and sabotaging the companies that developed the devices and those "old bastards who just won't die."
Afterward, the world underwent a great reckoning and reorganization... and seemed to return to normal. Behind those twenty turbulent years, whether there lie unknown opportunities or even deeper despair, no one can say.
...But those who installed life-extension devices without any malicious intent, now known as "Grim Chasers," have suffered discrimination and persecution because of the times they live in.
Even so, no matter how great their "sins," and no matter how many people persecute them and hunt them down, denying them any chance to rise again, they continue to live by their convictions as always, waiting for the day they can turn their fortunes around
