o1. The Overview

April 4, 2014. 5:09pm. The time of the Great Tokyo Earth Quake. This Earthquake was rated 11.4 seismic intensity and killed about 148,000 people. This created great land upheavals and massive floods that tore through the capital city. The wave of destruction plunged the country into anarchy. Families were separated and millions of dollars were withdrawn in hopes to bring the nation of Japan back to it's former glory. The citizens of Japan were not completely lost, however. Those who survived relocated to other countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom.

Despite this, the question still remains. What caused the earthquake? It was not just a natural disaster. Much blame was on pollution and global warming. Within theses accusations were also rumors of a being they called Red Man. Numerous reports of this Red Man were thought to be just mass hysteria but comprised of a vivid report of a grinning crimson man who slaughtered a handful of people before secreting some sort of blood red glass.

Many thought theses reports were merely fabrications of the media. In fact, they were the first noted events of the Japanese citizens being infected with that is called Branch of Sin. The Red Man.. The Wretched Egg has risen up to plague the world with this 'sickness'.

2024. One would expect humanity to have flourished over the past 10 years and have Tokyo rebuilt and prospering again. Within the 10 years, the attempts to restore Japan to it's former glory proved to be more difficult than ever before. Over 70% of Japan was sunk during the quake. During the disaster, most of Japan's prisons were desecrated, leaving hundreds of inmates to escape and live amongst the rest of the population. To these former inmates, the country being in ruin was no matter. The fact that thousands of families had been broken was insignificant to them. Now, Japan was their turf for them to loot and murder as they pleased. Japan's citizens then were hesitant to return knowing that these convicts were running freely through Japan's ruins.

Until one man who called himself Director changed everything. He promised that if the nation was left in his hands, he would restore Japan to the place people once called home.

And thus Deadman Wonderland was built. Planes, ships, and helicopters all brought the citizens of Japan back home where they were welcomed with bright lights, excitement and music. The occasion? A prison encased by a 30 foot steel wall had risen out of Japan's ruin. This prison was disguised as an amusement park and was a place where people could forget about the past disaster while Japan's criminals served them.

The dark side of Deadman Wonderland. Among the inmates at the facility, most were innocent citizens that were accused of crimes that they never committed. They were imprisoned because they were infected with the blood red glass that caused the Branch of Sin. Their only crime was being pawns of sin born from the Wretched Egg that they came into contact with. That same man is Deadman Wonderland's best kept secret... So are you a prisoner? On death row, maybe? Do you work for the prison? Are you one of these Deadmen infected with the Branch of Sin? Regardless...
