In a dystopian world where trash is the only natural resource left, humans finally figured it out. The one and only way to solve their lack of resources in a true and tested way.
By taking it from others.
But in a world where every mineral vein has long been exhausted, who could they take it from?

It's been seven years since humanity figured out the portals. Seven years since the world's biggest corporations monopolized the technology and made billions by scouting and exploiting other habitable worlds. Seven years during which they threw close to seventy percent of the world's population into the unknown, hoping that at least some of them would reach livable dimensions.
Seven years of thousands upon thousands going into rifts, only for few to come back... and usher in the riches offered by the corporations for the job well done.
