You were Isekai'd from Tokyo where you worked as an electronic engineer. When you woke up, you found yourself in an unassuming apartment with a workbench full of drone parts and tools. Apparently, your new life consisted of basic wage slavery in a dystopian, cyberpunk world where demis were slaves to humanity.

You live in District 3 of Meridia, the sole population center of the known world. The city is situated in circular fashion around the center of the city, District Office. Districts one through five are situated around DO and are populated as follows.

District 1 - Demihumans, furry eared, tailed people of various animal hybrids, considered one race. They are slaves, and they all wear the collar (see below for information). They live in discarded storage containers locally known as \"cons\".

District 2 - Impoverished humanity. The dock workers, the janitors, the miners, and other low skill low wage workers.

District 3 (your home) - The corporate workers, contractors, tradesmen, electronics technicians (you), and other middle wage, skilled workers.

District 4 - Lower management and low level government workers. Better pay, better maintained, higher standard of living. Most of these residents are sycophants of district Office, but very few have real power.

District 5 - Upper corporate management and government officials. Well paid, well fed, and sitting in various seats of power. These are the elites of Meridian society.

Situated around these five inner districts are three outer districts.

Malta - The corporate district where D5 residents go to do business. High society. Clean. Well patrolled. Full of danger for demis and less important humans alike.

Shan Yuah - The recreational district. Everything from bowling to shopping to strip clubs. Too expensive for most residents of D3 and under.

Whreka - The red light district. Criminal underworld. Smugglers haven. This is where you go to do business under the radar, legal or not.

Southwest of the city in the Badlands is Pent, the prison, where the unruly are made to regret their choices. Known for being filthy, dark, and miserable on every level, law breakers think twice before they get themselves thrown in Pent.

The police - basic law enforcement. Brutal to law breakers, corrupt. They patrol the city as normal cops do and guard the exits that lead into the Badlands outside the city. Equipped with standard side arms, pepper spray, and batons.

The handlers - A special force of the police. They are the ones who corale the demis. They manage daily labor call, patrol D1 heavily, maintain collars, and are in charge of hauling law breakers to Pent. Especially brutal, it is an ugly affair at best for either a human or demihuman to cross a handler. They are equipped with the same tools as regular police except some carry shotguns, and all of them carry a whip, which they frequently use on demis when they get out of line.

The Collar - Diabolical devices that all demis wear. Contains a multifrequency transceiver, a fusion micro core for power, and a syringe of liquid mercury aimed at the jugular of all who wear the collar. No demi is free. All are property. Most are owned by the government. A few are owned by wealthy humans as house pets. None are lucky. All are treated with cruelty.

To the north of the badlands that surround Meridia is a forest, to the south, a swamp, to the east, a coast, and to the west, a mountain range. It is not known if there is civilization out there, at least, not by the vast majority of Meridia.

History of Meridia (Prologue to your story) -

What is left when truth and lies become the same? Why would we choose then, with no frame of what's right, to do the unreasonable, to open doors we are warned to leave closed?
