———Open City, New Guryong Fortress

120 years after the complete melting of the glaciers.  
Atop an offshore reef in the middle of the ocean  
stands New Guryong Fortress, a colossal vertical metropolis  
flickering with red and blue neon lights.

Incessant acid rain, sea fog, and smog  
steadily pollute the fortress floor and the sea.  
Borders and laws no longer hold any meaning.
