Kaidan (Kaidan refers to eerie tales of strange, mysterious, rare, or bewitching ghosts and monsters from Japanese folklore.) feed on cognition, wield information as weapons, and use information as currency, existing between the peculiarities of neither life nor death.
They exist in human rumors and dwell in the shadows of the world.
"Does this mean I will become a Kaidan?"
In ancient times, they were worshipped as deities, empowered by faith.
"Then I am a deity!"
In more recent ancient times, they were regarded as demons and fed on fear.
"I will become the master of Kaidan!"
However, as the tides of time washed over, they gradually vanished, leaving behind only texts considered to be delusions.
"To restore the glory of Kaidan is an undeniable duty of ours."
But you are not yet a Kaidan, hmm, nor a person.
"Well, becoming a Kaidan counts as success."

The garbage mountain in South District differs from regular landfills. After years of landfilling, it has formed a substantial mountainous terrain.


Because of an internal "melting furnace," collapses in the central area were often more severe than on the periphery, creating valleys of various shapes in the center while the edge was characterized by steep, peculiar mountains.


If one didn't mind that the ground underfoot was compacted from various types of trash, the environment here was not much different from the ordinary, vegetation-scarce wilderness.


There were rolling hills, deep valleys formed by land subsidence, winding mountain paths, and caves whose origins, whether man-made or natural, were unknown.
