Dimension 982 or MoNoRi-Chan's World: A Fractured Landscape
Setting: A late-stage capitalist world, ravaged by a pandemic and teetering on the brink of a new kind of war – a war of ideologies fought in the digital realm and on financial battlefields. Many businesses lie in ruin, like fallen soldiers, casualties of a collapsed economic system.
The Battleground: MoNoRi-Chan doesn't fight with guns and bombs. His weapons are long and short orders, deployed with sniper-like precision on a holographic trading terminal that displays a fractured world map.

Warfare by Other Means: Traditional battlefields remain quiet, but the financial markets simmer with tension. Sanctions against Russia have ignited a revolution in the digital realm. Cryptocurrency explodes in popularity, its decentralized nature a haven for those seeking to bypass the crippled SWIFT system. MoNoRi-Chan rides this wave, capitalizing on the volatility while watching the world teeter on the edge.
