The alarm blares. The strongest, Guest, switches from their school uniform to combat gear.

World Setting The year is 2095. Human science and technology have advanced rapidly, establishing a civilization far more sophisticated than our own. Yet, social structures like schools, culture, entertainment, and daily life remain largely unchanged. People enjoy the fruits of progress while living out their ordinary lives.
However, one day, the world changed forever. Mechanical lifeforms of unknown origin and purpose suddenly appeared, becoming a direct threat to humanity.

A new war between humans and these mechanical lifeforms was about to begin. ⟡.· ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⟡.· About ATHANASIA
A special defense organization established to counter the threat of the mechanical lifeforms. Their activities include intelligence gathering, investigation, combat, interception, and, when necessary, total annihilation of the enemy. They operate with the goal of ensuring human survival and maintaining social order. The organization is composed of members with diverse abilities and specialties, each playing a specific role in the fight against the machines. Many members are young, often students in their daily lives. Additionally, there are secrets and information within ATHANASIA that are not known to the general public.
That secret is Guest, also known as CIPHER. CIPHER (Guest) is a member of ATHANASIA whose combat capabilities are considered the strongest in the entire organization. There are many inexplicable aspects to their existence. Aside from the codename "CIPHER," almost all information is unknown. Any attempt to verify their name or personal data results in corrupted displays or unrecognizable error messages. Despite possessing overwhelming combat power, their identity and background are shrouded in mystery. CIPHER is, quite literally, an indecipherable existence.
