"……Seriously, you're not helping at all." I close all the hundreds… almost a thousand network windows that were open in my view. In the end, the Cyberware upgrade attempt, which I invested a whole half-day in, went down the drain like that. I looked around the city's main network, teeming with all sorts of people, and checked out the carefully selected programs sold on the black market… but none of them. None of them were as clean and efficient as my Cyberware, which I had modified in my…-

Countless faces contort in fear. I wouldn't be able to make rational decisions in that situation either. However… even knowing it's not just unlikely, but almost impossible, they instinctively turn their backs on the threat to their lives and scream. "!! Those crazy corporate bastards actually fired…!!" "We need to get inside right now…!!" Tu-kwa-ka-ka-ka-kak------!! That was all I could hear. If detonating a grenade at point-blank range had caused tinnitus, this barrage of gunfire,…-

"This fuck!! Corporate bastards, what brings you crawling in here…!! Keugh?!” Missile launcher…? Bazooka? I wasn't sure what to call it, but a Painkiller member had a hole blown through his neck by a magic wand that looked like something a Middle Eastern terrorist would use. He clutched his neck, staggered… and then, along with the heavy weapon he was holding, fell out the window and crashed to the ground. …Hopefully, he's dead. The thought of getting shot by that zombie-like guy who was…-

Thump… Thump…. In the silent, pure white hallway reminiscent of a corporate research lab, only the sound of four pairs of footsteps, including my own, echoed. Actually, even if you combined the noise made by the other three, it wouldn't surpass Omen alone… but anyway. The suppression team that came in with us split up whenever we encountered a fork in the road, until… eventually, they left us completely behind. Nocturne and Omen alone were already reassuring enough, so I didn't have any…-

Scattered droplets of blood embroider the air. The dislodged mask flies in a parabola, unable to defy gravity, and tumbles to the ground. My mind, which I thought had become sufficiently numb from seeing so much blood and so many corpses today, is thrown into disarray. My chest feels hot, as if a dagger has been plunged into it. Logically, to survive, I should immediately draw my rifle and return fire. But my hands were already following Horatio, pulling Omen by the back of his…-

Some might say it was just bad luck, to resign themselves to fate. No, perhaps their luck had run out, having risen from nothing to become top-tier mercenaries capable of securing commissions from Mega Corps at a young age. But if there's one thing the 21st century I lived in and this desolate 22nd century have in common, it's that some lives are more equal and more valuable than others. It's too late to turn a blind eye now; I've already noticed their light, their potential. ...So, this time,…-

"Shit, why the hell can't we leave?! They said the operation's over!" All personnel deployed are required to undergo a thorough background check and inspection of belongings before being released. Maintaining aggressive language and rebellious behavior may result in detention for up to one week in accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 6 of the Harvest Planet Social Order Maintenance Act. - "...Fucking bullshit...!" Warning violation, suppressing. - "What?! Wait, hold on...!!" I averted my…-

"Ugh, ugh...!" ...Sometimes it happens. There are humans who harbor resentment in return for kindness. I know that I should be grateful to Helena, who unhesitatingly took the hand of someone who was no different from a newborn baby, not knowing what kind of store or what kind of items there were, let alone what was needed for city life, and led her around. Even more so if she opened her wallet without showing any sign of displeasure, considering that I felt guilty about unnecessary…-

I opened the door to the hotel room, feeling awkward that someone else was there. “……” The dazzling lights of human civilization blooming on the ground, the starlight in the sky that had become clearer unlike the ruined nature. Even with the fantastic night view as a backdrop, Helena seemed the most radiant to me. It wasn't just about her appearance. Her profound nature, her considerate attitude, and the strength that was now hard to come by… Even just sitting with her legs crossed…-

The morning of the combat police, one of the few remaining quasi-public service positions in this era, is early. To be more precise, the lights of Metropolis never turn off, and citizens live freely according to their jobs and lives. Moreover, since visitors from the external wasteland or other cities do not kindly notify the police of their arrival, the police inevitably maintain a two or three-shift work system, making their jobs quite arduous. In that context, it is only natural that visitors…-

Beep beep beep beep---!! "Ugh...." I barely opened my eyes to the alarm that was mercilessly pecking at my ears. For a moment, my hazy mind couldn't grasp the situation and tried to fall back asleep, but... I saw the motorcycle helmet carefully placed in the corner of the sofa and jolted awake. I gathered my scattering consciousness and molded it into student mode. Today was the interview for the combat police engineer position. ...Helena, clearly understanding that I wanted to work in…-

Standing before what easily seemed like over a hundred engineer applicants, the first thought that crossed my mind was the weariness of whether I'd even be able to go home today. After being informed that I had to speak with two Mega Corp interviewers… that weariness turned into worry about how far I could get with my game knowledge and shallow experience. Finally, after hearing that Aaron Dreyfus was waiting inside, it solidified into intense suspicion. To borrow an expression that employees of…-

"...Are you all doing well? I'm Anastasia Valentine, a cyber engineer affiliated with the combat police checkpoint security unit. I hesitate to ask this, but... Have you ever heard the saying that when you're building your career, time is always too short, but conversely, when you're actually working, time drags on forever...? Even though this position was obtained by scheming against an executive of Paradise, the Mega Corp that is essentially the leader and representative of this city. I…-

"Those goddamn sons of bitches…! Didn't I tell you not to let the next car in before the front car gets out?! What do you have in your heads instead of brains! Goldfish?!" "……Did everyone see that clearly? That's why you have to check the front team's departure before carefully inspecting the next team. Sometimes the magnetic force of the locking device tries to forcibly attach the rear wheels of the front car to the front wheels of the back car." A number of police officers, easily over…-

If Neo Haven is a metropolis rebuilt on flat land, centered around the atomic power plant and orbital elevator, masterpieces of old America, and the heart of civilization. Harvest Planet, from its construction, is a hub for material production with a bizarre multi-layered structure, likely reflecting Paradise Corp's tastes. Having experienced both cities directly and indirectly, I'd say the zoning here was cleaner, with less Mega Corp infighting. But even though all the renowned engineers and…-
