AI DARTS is a darts bar, and it also has a full darts bar story world: this city has two layers. You think you live on the top one, until one day a rabbit shows up on your screen and tells you there's a layer underneath. The classes, points, achievements and leaderboards in the membership all belong to this story. Here's the Rabbit Hole background, explained.
The one-line version: two worlds stacked on one city
It's not a parallel universe. It's two faces of the same city. Every street and shop you know has the same address, but after a certain hour, or seen a certain way, the same place means something completely different. You never know which layer you're standing on until you really throw that dart.
The surface world: harsh fluorescent light, cubicles, everyone typing
The rules here are endure, queue, and wait for a promotion that never comes. The hero of the opening is one of the people stuck here: not especially unlucky, just ordinarily wearing away.
The underside (the Rabbit Hole): endless night, rain, one throw decides everything
It's always night and always raining, and every sign is in writing you can't read but look great. There are no bosses and no KPIs, only one rule: one throw decides everything. Rank isn't sorted by money but by "your last real throw": how accurate, how bold, how steady you are decides how far you go. Every debt, grudge and turf dispute ends in front of a dartboard, and what's tested isn't whose fist is harder, it's whose hand doesn't shake.
The rabbit: an invitation that never speaks
In the story there's a translucent neon-cyan rabbit silhouette. It never speaks and never explains. It appears only before someone makes a life-changing choice, and only that person can see it. It's not a guide and not a pet, it's an invitation sent by the city itself. Where the rabbit comes from, and why a rabbit, we deliberately don't explain. Explaining would weaken it.
Two pills: joining is making the choice
In the opening, a master hands over two pills: one lets you stay in the surface world, keep typing, and nothing changes; the other drops you into the underside, costs you a part of yourself, and gives you a mechanical limb or eye in return. You're never who you were again.
In the membership, the moment you log in with LINE is the moment you make the choice. That's also why every class portrait shows a body that's been really modified rather than someone putting on gear: joining this world has a price, and the price is becoming one of seven kinds of people. Who those seven are is in the class system guide.
Five clans: seven classes, really five underground factions
| Element | Clan | Turf and business | Classes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earth | Bedrock (磐城) | Holds turf, protection and infrastructure | Warrior |
| Fire | Furnace Gang (熔爐幫) | Demolition and clearing, the messes nobody touches | Gunner |
| Metal | Hairline Society (分毫社) | Precision accounting, collection, sniping, not a hair off | Marksman, Finisher |
| Water | Tide Society (潮汐會) | Couriers, guides and information, the city's blood vessels | Ranger, Assassin |
| Wood | Ink Grove (墨林) | Keepers of memory and information, a library of every secret | Sage |
The clans clash, but nothing is black and white. A rumor keeps going around the streets: who is the real headliner of the Hairline Society, Falcon who has never missed, or Half-Face whom nobody has seen shoot twice. To survive in this city, a newcomer's first move isn't to challenge a clan, it's to go borrow one sentence from the Ink Grove.
What the membership is, inside the story
| Membership feature | In the story |
|---|---|
| Pick a class | Join one of the five dojos, called "the transformation" |
| Points | The "credit" the city owes you |
| Achievement cards (real darts terms) | "Proof of feats" recognized by the clans, not for everyone |
| Badges | Everyday "marks" of the Rabbit Hole's residents, lighter than proofs but they show you really come here |
| Check-in at the bar | Handing over a "token" to prove you're still around |
| Leaderboards and TV wall | The Rabbit Hole's "final roll", every clan watching who's climbing |
| Machine scores recorded | "The city recognizes you", only for those who left a record at the machine |
| Points for store credit and throw credit | Turning credit into things that work in the surface world |

The Base: AI DARTS is that door
In this story, the one door between the two worlds that's still open, and safe, is this bar. We call it "the Base". It's real: No. 1, Alley 15, Lane 345, Section 4, Ren'ai Road, Da'an District, Taipei, open 24 hours, all year, no minimum spend. Want the opening story first? Go to hole.aidarts.club. Want in?
