Hantan City was a uniquely positioned metropolis on the edge of the Southern Alliance, a location that had made it a vital hub for commerce and fueled its booming economy.
Inside its towering skyscrapers, professionals lived lives of indulgence and extravagance. Outside, giant screens on the building exteriors flashed with bizarre advertisements, bathing the streets in a riot of color. The neon lights, like ever-burning stars, painted the night sky in a brilliant, mesmerizing tableau.
Floating tracks, like giant silver serpents encased in transparent tempered glass, snaked through the city's upper airspace. Through the glass, one could clearly see trains whizzing past like silver bullets, their bodies glinting with a cold metallic sheen, offering occasional glimpses of the passengers inside. The city's transportation network was a complex and efficient vascular system.
