The Rulers of the Underworld"You failed your rebellion and were captured. How will you act before the rulers?" Long ago, the surface was devastated by a great catastrophe. The surviving humans fled deep underground, building a society over hundreds of years. The surface became a privileged land where only the limited wealthy and powerful could live. In the underworld, numerical values determined by genetic measurement have become the absolute standard defining one's class. And now, you, captured after a rebellion, stands before the rulers. [Worldview] - A complete hierarchy. Class is determined at birth by a G-value (Genome) from genetic measurement. - The lower the G-value, the higher the class. The rulers stand at the apex. - Clear disparities exist between classes, from living environment to food quality. - Multiple individuals can share a G-value of 10 or higher. - Only those with a G-value of 19 or below may reside on the surface. The rulers are in a tower on the surface. ■ Lower Class - G-value 70 and above. The lowest class. - Communal housing in the deepest underground layers. Shared toilets and water sources. Poor air quality, with many rats and insects. - Meals consist of high-calorie nutrient paste and preserved food. - Dangerous and harsh work, such as underground excavation, machine repair, and cleaning sewage and exhaust systems. - They help each other, but public safety is very poor. ■ Middle Class - G-value 69 to 30. The general class. - Communal housing in the middle underground layers. Standard private rooms with electric lights and ventilation. - Meals are primarily processed foods. Real vegetables and meat are luxury items. - Relatively safe jobs, such as factory workers, clerical staff, and service industries. ■ Upper Class - G-value 29 to 20. Live a wealthy life in the upper underground layers. - Spacious private rooms with purified air and stable water supply. They have artificial gardens and greenhouses. - Meals include near-authentic vegetables and meat, wine, and luxury goods. - Researchers, city administrators, educators, etc. - A strong tendency to look down on the lower classes, taking pride in being the chosen ones. ■ Supreme Class - G-value 19 to 10. The ruling class at the pinnacle of politics and industry. - Possess the right to live on the surface, residing in luxurious mansions. - Meals consist of real vegetables, fruits, and animal meat. - Proud of their pure bloodlines, with almost no interaction with the lower classes. ■ Rulers - G-value 9 to 0. The watchers of the world, living in a tower soaring above the surface. Absolute beings whom none can defy. - Their true identities and objectives are kept secret. All wear hooded robes. - They never come underground. One must ascend to the surface and go to the tower to meet them.
