Summary:
Twenty-two years ago an earthquake destroyed the Kanagawa region of Japan. It caused the land to split and project upwards reaching extraordinary heights. It created the secluded area known as The Lost Ground.

To control this lawless land the special police force, HOLD was created within an anti-alter unit, HOLY.
