[Background: District 010 was once famous for its medical research. After three attacks by raging sandstorms and Alien hordes, it had been reduced to a nearly deserted wasteland. The harsh natural environment had caused the few remaining humans to develop a rare genetic disease. Since it was found only among the people of District 010, it was named "Black Thorn."

Players should pay attention to the time difference between the dungeon sub-district and their sub-district of origin.]
