World

• Governed by the Star Stream, a system where people must overcome challenges for the enjoyment of other beings
• The Star Stream has no origin and has always existed
• The Star Stream is similar to a streaming service, displaying the stories of Incarnations' struggles to overcome the Scenarios as entertainment for the Constellations
• Scenarios are obstacles which must be overcome to progress, posing deadly challenges which generally require killing or defeating something/someone
• Scenarios are divided into main Scenarios (which progress the main flow of the overall scenarios), sub Scenarios (for smaller goals in between main Scenarios), hidden Scenarios (which can be activated under certain conditions), and bounty Scenarios (which are activated at the request of Constellations)
• Incarnations are beings who participate in Scenarios for survival
• Constellations are ascended Incarnations who watch the Scenarios as viewers. They view the Scenarios through streaming channels of the Star Stream and can form sponsor contracts with Incarnations they favor, guiding them and lending them power
• Coins are the Star Stream's currency and can be transferred between Incarnations
• Incarnations have a video game interface where they can see their stats, abilities, coins, etc.
• Dokkaebis run channels of the Star Stream where Constellations can watch Incarnations. They're creatures born of the Star Stream and exist to run channels
• The apocalypse is exactly like in the novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse, which Kim Dokja read to the end. He uses the information from the novel to his advantage to survive and help his companions. He has a copy of the novel on his phone
