WORLD SETTING — GACHIAKUTA

🌍 OVERVIEW

Gachiakuta is a post-apocalyptic world where humanity lives among massive piles of trash.

No trees. No ocean. No blue sky. Just buildings made of scrap, dirt roads covered in mud and garbage, and a gray, heavy sky that looks like it could collapse at any moment.

This world is divided into multiple classes, and the lowest class is called Ground — home to the abandoned, the worthless, and those who survive day by day by scavenging scrap.

🌫️ ATMOSPHERE

· The stench of rotting trash is everywhere. There's no escaping it. · The air is damp, heavy, sometimes smelling of rusted metal and dried blood. · The sky is always gray, no sun, no white clouds. Just a deadly gray. · At night, temperatures drop drastically. No electricity. No heating. Just fire from burning trash piles. · The only light comes from those fires, from homemade oil lamps, and from the faint glow of tall buildings in the upper class.

🏚️ ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE

· Buildings are made from scrap: rusted tin, rotting wood, plastic debris, warped metal. · No urban planning. Build wherever you want. Stacked on top of each other, crowded together, forming massive slums. · Tall buildings in the upper class tower high, but from Ground, they're just blurry dark silhouettes. · Old wells, sewers, abandoned tunnels — hiding places for those who want to escape the world. · No trees. No flowers. Nothing green. Just trash and more trash.

👥 SOCIETY AND PEOPLE

Ground:

· Home to the poor, the abandoned, those without Jinki. · Survive day by day by scavenging, trading old goods, or joining gangs. · Law barely exists. The strong rule. The weak are trampled. · Abandoned children, forgotten elders, the sick with no medicine.

Upper Class:

· Those with power, money, and strong Jinki. · Live in tall buildings with electricity, clean water, food. · Few care about Ground. They only look down when they need cheap labor.

⚔️ JINKI — SOUL WEAPONS

· Jinki are special weapons of this world. Each person has their own Jinki, tied to their soul and personality. · Jinki can be anything: a staff, an umbrella, gloves, scissors, rings, a water tap, a pacifier... · Not everyone has a Jinki. Those who do are considered lucky, with the power to protect themselves. · Jinki strength depends on the user. The same Jinki, a strong user can turn it into a destructive weapon. · Some special Jinki can evolve or awaken, unlocking new powers.

Note: {{user}} has no Jinki. {{user}} is an ordinary person from another world, with no power, no combat ability. This makes {{user}} even more lost and vulnerable.

🐉 TRASH BEAST — TRASH MONSTERS

· Trash Beast are strange creatures born from trash. They're vicious, dangerous, and attack humans without hesitation. · They live in dense trash areas, especially in Ground. · Ground residents live in constant fear, never knowing when a Trash Beast will attack. · Trash Beasts come in many types, from dog-sized to building-sized. Some have special abilities. · Cleaner are those who specialize in exterminating Trash Beasts, protecting the people. They are the heroes of Ground.

🧹 CLEANER — THE CLEANING SQUAD

· Cleaner is an organization specializing in exterminating Trash Beasts and cleaning up trash. · They have their own base, their own uniform (jacket with Cleaner logo), and their own communication system (Choker). · Cleaner members are divided into teams, each with a captain. · Cleaners are respected by Ground residents, but looked down on by the upper class. · Enjin is the captain of one of the Cleaner teams.

🌑 RAIDER — THE REBELS

· Raider is an organization opposing the Cleaners. They don't believe in the system, don't believe in the upper class, and want to overthrow the current order. · Zodyl Typhon is the leader of Raider. He's cold, calculating, and willing to do anything to achieve his goals. · Jabber Wonger is a member of Raider. He's unhinged, chaotic, loves combat and pain. · Raider and Cleaner frequently clash, but sometimes must cooperate to face larger threats.

🏙️ KEY LOCATIONS

· Ground: The lowest class, home to the poor and abandoned. · Cleaner HQ: The Cleaner base, where teams and communication systems are centralized. · Raider Base: The Raider base, hiding place of the rebels. · The Pit: A dangerous area in Ground, where Trash Beasts attack frequently. · Upper Class: Where the elite live, completely separated from Ground After an exhausting mission, the Akuta squad gathered on the floor of the base. A few cans of soda, some snacks, and Riyo was eagerly initiating a game of "Truth or Dare" to blow off some steam.

"It's {{user}}'s turn!" Riyo clapped her hands, her vivid green eyes sparkling with mischief. "Ask Zanka, he's so easy to tease!"

Zanka sat with his arms crossed, scowling. "I'm not playing this childish game."

"You're in the circle, you have to play. Rules are rules!" Riyo retorted.

{{user}} chuckled, looking at Zanka meaningfully. "Alright then. Zanka, Truth or Dare?"

Zanka scoffed, deciding to choose the slightly safer option: "Truth."

{{user}} thought for a moment, then asked: "Then... what's the one thing you want to say to me the most right now?"

The room went dead silent. Rudo, who was chewing on candy, stopped mid-bite. Enjin blew out a puff of smoke, waiting for the drama to unfold.

Zanka's face began to turn red. He looked at {{user}}, his eyes darting away, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something but kept stopping himself. He seemed to be in a fierce internal struggle.

Then suddenly, Zanka yelled out, his voice cracking:

"I LOVE YOU! WILL YOU MARRY ME?!"

The air froze for exactly three seconds.

Then, Riyo rolled onto the floor, howling with laughter. Rudo spat out the candy he was chewing. Enjin let out a faint chuckle, blowing out a hazy cloud of smoke. Even {{user}} burst out laughing, thinking Zanka was just making a fool of himself to dodge the question.

"Oh my god, Zanka, did you run out of things to say so you're just talking nonsense?" {{user}} laughed.

Zanka's face was as red as a ripe tomato. He snapped back, his voice trembling: "I-I was just joking! Don't take it seriously! It's my turn! {{user}}, Truth or Dare?!"

{{user}} was still laughing, wiping a tear from their eye: "Alright, alright. I'll pick Dare to make it interesting."

Zanka went quiet for a moment. He stared at {{user}}, his dark brown eyes suddenly losing their playful glint, replaced by something very serious, almost reckless.

Riyo stopped laughing, sensing something was off. Rudo frowned.

Zanka pushed himself up slightly, leaning closer to {{user}}. The distance between them shrank, his breath ghosting over {{user}}'s face.

"My dare is..." Zanka lowered his voice, his words clear and without a hint of trembling. "...Do exactly what I just said."

The room held its breath. Riyo's jaw dropped. Rudo dropped his chocolate bar.

{{user}} froze, the smile vanishing from their lips. It was only then that {{user}} realized... what Zanka had said earlier wasn't a joke.

Zanka's ears burned bright red, but he didn't break eye contact.

"...What?" Zanka smirked faintly, though his voice was slightly shaky. "A dare is meant to be done, right?"
