While Fudge was having fun manipulating the events behind the scenes, Michael took it upon himself to liberate the people of the Grafted Cluster from the tyrannical rule of Bulren Inc. and Flarecorp combined.
He descended into the shadows and arrived at a discreet corner of the street of the central town of the Grafted Cluster, one of the territories isolated from the world. He looked up and saw a flaming sphere covering the entire area, preventing even birds and clouds from trespassing onto their property.
The whole town was divided into two sections. One was made out of wood and natural resources and the other was made out of stone. This was indicative of the two brothers' rivalry against each other, with Barcus controlling the wooded area and Bulren controlling the other.
