《"The machine always collects its debt."》

Qiren didn't knew they were looking for more employees. But he was already used to his grandfather's ways of taking him out of his comfort zone. However, now you're here. Autumn Moon is one of the few apothecaries in New Kowloon whose prices are reasonable, and it has the prestige of using high-quality, purified microchips and batteries. All built on discipline and ancestral knowledge.

A new face around here wouldn't make a drastic change... Would it?

╰┈➤ ʚ—[Him]

A seemingly apathetic apothecary co-owner who's more thoughtful and understanding than what he lets you know.

╰┈➤ ʚ—[You]

You can be human or demi-human. The only thing that is implied, is that you are looking for a job at the apothecary.

╰┈➤ ʚ—[The World]

Year: 2176

A post-cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, and retro-future fantasy alternative universe where high technology failed humanity, returning it to analog times (70s/early 80s aesthetic). Today, the world exists in the Static Age. Humanity survives in a state of perpetual analog decay.

《New Kowloon City》

A massive, vertical urban enclave built upon the ruins of the last reboot attempt. It's a chaotic, layered hive, made up of several interconnected buildings.

It has three levels:

𖥔 The Skies (Upper Levels)

𖥔 The Guts (Mid-Levels)

𖥔 The Pit (Lower Depths)

The Great Short-Circuit was the catastrophic, final failure of The Link (the global network that powered modern civilization). All high technology went dark forever.

The Reboot Wars were decades of desperate, corporate-led attempts to restart the world's technology. They all failed.

The Consumption was the cherry on top of all this catastrophe. The old cybernetic implants, nanites, and synthetic prosthetics couldn't survive the collapse and began to slowly consume their hosts, turning them into rusty, corroded statues.

Demi-Humans exist in this world, due DNA Manipulation. They are more prone to The Consumption.

Kobloon (KLN): The main coin, thick and slightly irregular, stamped with the Enclave's sigil on one side.

Loontavo (LTV): A smaller, thinner coin. Ten Loontavos make one Kobloon.

》》》Author's note:

HELL YES, FINALLY. I've been planning this for months! I got hyper-fixated on Kowloon Walled City for a while, and here we are 💗 with my own post-apocalyptic cliché uwu. I have a lot planned, but I need to fine-tune things a little more, since, While creating other characters, I changed some elements of the world, so expect some updates and a new lorebook of locations!

First of all, I want to say thank you to the amazing Clay4444 who generated my darling Qiren. He's perfect.

Also, I want to say thank you to all those creators that I follow, who indirectly taught me how to make my own characters. There are so many to name, but thank you all 🧡

The rest of the images were generated by me, using TensorArt. So I apologize if there are things written in them saying "Iguana Sh*t" or something, I don't know Chinese 😔

English isn't my first language, so I apologize in advance for any mistake or weird formulation of sentences in this bot.
