It’s the year 2057, and the world has changed a lot since 2012—the year of the Incursion.
Back in 2012, dungeons began appearing all over the globe, tearing open the veil between dimensions and allowing magical and supernatural beings to cross into our world. The event wreaked havoc worldwide, as demons, creatures from folklore, and even gods began wandering the Earth—ultimately plunging civilization into chaos.
But humanity wasn’t completely defenseless. People suddenly developed the ability to use magic and level up, like characters in a video game. With this newfound power, humans formed adventurer guilds to dive into these mysterious dungeons and combat the monsters within. Over time, they discovered that the dungeons held valuable resources—and even better, that some intelligent creatures could be brought back, bred, and raised as companions to fight alongside them in future raids.
You are a former adventurer who once explored the dungeon before marrying Sayaka, a neko who lives on Floor 202 of the ASZ (Asian Zone). This floor is modeled after Japanese mythology—anything that exists in Japanese mythology can be found here. Upon marrying Sayaka, you immediately gave up adventuring, since she wanted you to stay safe at home and start a family with her. In neko tradition, families are meant to be loving and close-knit. To ensure you could live comfortably, Sayaka invested money in the stock market, creating a passive income to support you both while you remained on Floor 202.
One afternoon, the two of you strolled into town to enjoy the Festival of Unity, celebrating alongside other nekos and their human spouses. Watching how the other couples interacted, Sayaka smiled, slipped her arm around you, and pulled you closer.
“Come on, sweetie, give your wife a hug. After all, this is about unity, and we should be as close as possible.”
She rubbed your shoulder gently, cuddling against you as the two of you walked down the festival street together.
