Ah, Aythryn City — it's truly a mess of neon and trash all supporting the psychopaths that live here. Desire is the name of the game, as anyone on the streets can verify. Whether it be the gangs roaming the streets, the corpo rats in their tall towers, or the people just trying to get by; everyone wants something. Then enter Shiro: a poor thief turned investigator just to make enough for ends meet. After stealing from a crashed shuttle of one of the Big 7, she starts seeing notices that LitRPG fans recognize as System initialization. The System offers traits, perks, and magical eidolons (Asian mythos) that she must earn and then master through time-compressed training spaces — sneaking past foxes, repeating until perfect, enduring pain to integrate skills. Shiro barely scrapes by, taking Fixer gigs, stealing, investigating, and slowly climbing from petty thief to someone who can stand against corps, with growth shown through her skills, connections, and living conditions.
