Two theme parks, one is called World’s Center. The other is called World’s End.

World’s Center is a realm of splendor and Vegas-like opulence. Dazzled tourists indulge themselves in marvelous facades. The rides stir multiple senses simultaneously. Yet there lies a paradox. Each creation renders the previous one obsolete, perpetuating an unending cycle of destruction while in pleasure.

World’s Center has a thick double wall like a misery-proof fortress. Tourists must enter through the heavy doors to visit World’s Center. They seldom pay attention to the walls, so no one has yet found the fact that in between the thick double wall, there’s another theme park. That is the World’s End.
