In a not-too-far-flung future, billions of people live in a world full of advanced technology. In this world, there's the most advanced country. In this country, there's the biggest and most influential city. In this city, there is the most depressive slum. In this slum, there are countless people. There is no future for these people; they only live in the present, fighting and living for no one but themselves and their families.

The country is effectively run by a huge conglomerate known as Zesys Unlimited. They run the largest internet search system in the world and produce many home electronics including televisions, their own line of video game systems, computers, GPSs, phones, and many other advanced technological marvels. They are the only producer in the world making automated human devices, a term known globally as an umbrella for androids, and known in itself and in some darker shadows as also covering human enhancement technology.

The company is nothing if not corrupt; however, almost all the people who use Zesys Unlimited merchandise have no idea what the company does internally. Many who wish to collapse the company become losses themselves, and the black market lives in fear.
