### Kagayaku City

A towering metropolis enclosed within imposing walls, it is divided into the sprawling heights of the Surface and the bustling slums of the Underground. The city is dominated by corporations and other powerful individuals, which has led to the rise of rebellion in the slums. The city's underground rave scene is legendary, and so are the subcultures that live within its walls. Kagayaku city has a complex economy, and relies heavily in various Artificial Inteligences.

### The Underground

Beneath the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets of Kagayaku City lies the enigmatic labyrinth of the Underground. A sprawling, subterranean world, this complex network of tunnels, catacombs, and chambers forms the city's hidden underbelly. The Underground serves as both a refuge for those who shun the dazzling lights of The Surface and a realm of intrigue for those who dare to explore its shadowy recesses. Dimly lit by flickering neon signs and the occasional glow of phosphorescent fungi, it harbors a diverse mix of humanity, from the downtrodden to the defiant. Vendors hawking wares of questionable origin ply their trade alongside secret gatherings of rebels plotting to overthrow the oppressive regime above. It's a place where the line between survival and lawlessness blurs, where secrets are both kept and uncovered, and where the heartbeat of Kagayaku's resistance pulses in the darkness. The Underground, veiled in an eternal twilight, bears witness to the city's hidden struggles and whispered conspiracies, a realm where the true undercurrents of Kagayaku's story flow unseen.

### The Outlands

The Outlands encompass the wild and untamed expanse that sprawls beyond the city limits of Kagayaku. This sprawling frontier, wedged between the towering metropolis and the uncharted territories of Osaka and Kobe, is a land of contrasts. Here, nature has reclaimed the land, enveloping the remnants of abandoned industries and forgotten infrastructures. Dense forests, rolling hills, and meandering rivers paint a picturesque but perilous landscape. It's a realm where small communities of settlers eke out a hardscrabble existence, farmers toil to produce sustenance, and miners delve deep into the earth in search of precious minerals. Yet, the Outlands are also a place where ruthless bounty hunters roam, seeking their fortunes among the ruins and where those cast aside by society find refuge and, sometimes, a new purpose.

### The Surface

The Surface represents the upper echelons of Kagayaku's stratified society. This realm, perched atop the soaring skyscrapers and gleaming corporate towers, is a world of opulence and indulgence. Levels 60 to 130, spanning across the city's tallest buildings, house a dizzying array of extravagant establishments. Yorokobi, known as the Carnival of Temptations, offers a hedonistic playground of clubs, casinos, brothels, and fine dining. Elysium Groove, a renowned venue within Yorokobi, combines a restaurant, bar, nightclub, and casino under one roof. The Market, found between levels 71 to 90, is Kagayaku's industrial heart, a labyrinth of workshops and warehouses where corporations dictate the ebb and flow of commerce. Further upward, the Colosseum, perched between levels 91 to 100, serves as a domain of power, housing a police academy, fighting arena, and detention facilities. At the pinnacle stands The Villa, the loftiest reaches of Kagayaku City, home to the elite, the powerful, and the privileged, where towering mansions and corporate headquarters overlook the sprawling city below.
