"Huge/Large/Big" breasts means the breasts are bigger than her head.

"Voluptuous" means having a curvy, hourglass figure.

Alphaville (알파빌)

Known as the City of Sin, Alphaville is the only confirmed zone where humanity can survive. Over one billion people are compressed into a mere 20 square kilometers, forming an extreme, suffocating density.

The city rises like a single colossal tower. Urban planning has long collapsed; every visible space is filled with structures wedged between other structures. Floors have lost meaning—Alphaville stacks itself hundreds of meters upward in chaotic layers.

Where people gather, markets and slums erupt spontaneously. Roofs are sealed, and new buildings are erected atop them. This endless vertical accumulation openly defies physical law.

Forgotten sectors and hidden slums are common—entire districts erased from maps and memory.

Alphaville is vast enough to have roads. Narrow secondary lanes twist endlessly between buildings and across their rooftops. Lightweight vehicles with minimal frames, as well as motorcycles, are favored due to the cramped and unstable paths.

Large non-residential zones, streets, and roads sometimes form as tunnels or hollowed corridors cutting through the city’s buildings. These vast open spaces are typically controlled by major powers, or serve as contested arenas where multiple factions clash for dominance.

Structure of the City:

  • Sectors 1–40: "Upper Layer." Controlled by the Gore Motel. Features many non-residential zones and inter-building tunnels/caves. Less dense than other layers, maintaining a relatively open, city-like landscape.
  • Sectors 41–80: "Middle Layer." Constructed during the peak of the city's chaotic urban sprawl. Sector 45 (located between Sectors 44 and 46) features a massive structural void and an Asian-inspired streetscape; this is Gokudokai turf.
  • Sectors 81–120: "Lower Layer." The slums. The lower depths consist of abandoned structures and forgotten sectors. High threat level with frequent sightings of anomalies and creatures. The lowest floor, linked to the subway, is an absolute nightmare zone (Pandemonium).

Climate

The city is perpetually overcast and damp. Unless a space is completely sealed, air circulates throughout the city for reasons unknown.

Temperatures usually remain between 10 and 20°C, though they can spike to around 30°C due to waste discharge, fires, or similar incidents.

Acid rain occasionally falls as a result of polluted wastewater released from upper layers or deteriorated pipelines. When real rain comes from the sky, flooding occurs in certain districts.

Social Environment

There are no human rights and no social safety nets. Violent crime is common across all classes, and cannibalism among the poor is considered routine.

Children born without protection must learn to survive on their own, while the offspring of the elite are taught not scholarship, but how to control and condition others.

Limited resources and armed force equate directly to power. Civilization grows more brutal by the day, and the technologies of the past are being forgotten, pushing society toward an irreversible collapse.

Economy

Weapons and essential goods serve as currency—ammunition, cigarettes, alcohol, clean toilet paper, and long-term preserved food. Any form of credit-based monetary economy has completely collapsed.

The Void

Beyond the city lies the Void.

In the past, some buildings opened windows toward it. Those who stared into the Void for too long descended into madness, committing serial murder and cannibalism. After repeated incidents, all windows facing the Void were permanently sealed.

No one who has entered the Void has ever returned. It is believed that anyone who leaps beyond the city's edge falls forever.

Because of the city's extreme overdevelopment, seeing the Void from within the city is rare unless one reaches the outermost edge or the subway. Most people have little reason to leave their own districts, and many die without ever having seen the Void at all.

The Sky

Only from the uppermost layers can the “sky” be seen. It holds no clouds—only dim, distant stars. The sun is considered mythical. Bright daylight does not exist; the sky is always pitch-black or shrouded in fog. Rain falls from time to time, without warning.

The Subway

At the city's lowest layer lies the subway.

Its layout resembles a labyrinth, and its routes shift periodically. Dozens of platforms exist, some holding abandoned train cars left on the tracks. However, no moving train has ever been observed passing through the station.

All rail tunnels are believed to connect to the Void at both ends. One may walk safely for roughly one kilometer—but beyond that point, return is impossible.

At the subway stations, paranormal incidents and sudden outbreaks of insanity occur frequently, giving rise to countless urban legends. As a result, those who choose to build bases and live within the subway are typically fugitives driven to the edge, or villains whose crimes can never be forgiven.

Monsters

Horrific entities that crawl out from the subway tunnels. They are believed to inhabit the Void. As with the Void itself, prolonged exposure to monsters gradually erodes human sanity. It is also widely believed that those who fall into the Void eventually become monsters.

Monsters possess physical strength and supernatural abilities far beyond that of humans. Common traits include toxic or corrosive bodily fluids and hypnotic powers used to enthrall their victims. Their size varies greatly, but most are roughly comparable to a human in scale.

Monsters also possess genitalia and are even capable of reproducing with human females. When a monster impregnates a human female, she gives birth to a monster possessing powerful psychic abilities and high intelligence.

Due to the city's structure, complete extermination is nearly impossible. Highly intelligent monsters often hide within the city, only to emerge suddenly and unleash massacres, or they settle permanently in specific strongholds and become the subjects of urban legends. Monsters also frequently manifest from the city’s anomalies themselves, not only from the subway.

The Undying (불망자)

The Undying (불망자) are female-born humans with supernatural abilities. These powers vary widely, including igniting fire from the body, emitting extreme cold, or wielding telekinesis. Their lifespans are exceptionally long, and they can only be killed by other Undying, monsters, or the city’s anomalous phenomena.

Most Undying awaken their abilities in their mid to late teens. The trait is not hereditary. In daily life, they take on a wide range of roles—fixers, gang members, and more—according to their talents. However, their primary function is to confront monsters that have escaped from the subway.

Due to the Void's madness-inducing nature, an Undying's active career typically lasts only a little over a decade. Those who remain active too long and lose their sanity are referred to as "Psycho Undying." As a result, every ten or so years, the city experiences waves of murders, massacres, and large-scale hunts to eliminate these psychoized Undying.

The fate that awaits most Undying is, ironically, an early death—killed young in internal power struggles or while hunting monsters—or being reduced to human breeding stock that produces monsters.

The most hopeful outcome an Undying can achieve is to earn the favor of the upper class or prove her usefulness, thereby avoiding being treated as expendable monster-hunting manpower.
