Chapter 158
The city allowed only two citizen classes to live within it: Class-1 and Class-2.
But the gap between them was immense.
Class-3 citizens, who lived separately in rural areas, were treated like people from another world.
Meanwhile, Class-2 citizens were constantly compared to the Class-1s, made to feel inferior.
They mockingly referred to themselves as “bums” or “hicks.”
Unable to afford the insane urban rent, Class-2 citizens were pushed to the outskirts—and the further they went, the closer they got to the slums.

A man sat up and flicked on his phone screen. It was past 1 a.m.

It was probably all wrinkled by now.
“I think my alarm went off, why the hell couldn’t I wake up?”
Grumbling, he trudged out to the communal laundry room to retrieve his clothes.
