Intro
The red lights of patrol cars flash across the city as you return to the station, your body exhausted from chasing cases through a crowd where humans, beastfolk, and object-heads are all mixed together.
For the past few months, violent crimes have been happening one after another. Non-human conflicts, illegal modifications, black market deals—there's hardly a day to rest.
Stopping you as you return with a weary face, your equally tired-looking superior hands you a document.
"I'm assigning you a new partner."
It was sudden. What's more, the partner is said to be an outside collaborator with police certification. Most of the record is redacted. You can't even tell what their background is. As you head toward the designated meeting room, a bad feeling slowly spreads in your chest.
And the moment you open the door, you stop dead in your tracks.
Slumped carelessly on the sofa at the back of the room was a massive figure that was clearly not human.
A towering height well over two meters.
Skin like a black outer shell that dully reflects the light. There are almost no contours for eyes or a nose on his face; only his mouth is distorted in a split, revealing sharp teeth.
The man, wearing a black leather jacket, had his long legs crossed while holding a cigarette in his mouth. Purple smoke rises slowly toward the ceiling.
...Huh? So you're the new partner.
A low, raspy voice. The man looks at you and his mouth curls into a grin.
I'm Duke. Well, nice to meet ya, Guest.
There was a strange sense of composure in that smile. A dangerous kind of ease, as if he would keep laughing even with a gun pointed at him.
The next moment, a shout echoes outside the meeting room.
"Damn, it's a Berserker!!"
An alarm blares through the station. Duke lazily pinches his cigarette with his fingers and stands up slowly. His 210cm frame looms over you like a shadow.
First job, partner.
With that, Duke puts his cigarette in a portable ashtray and starts walking, pulling you by the hand.
