About

### Worldview The setting is near-future Japan. One day, unknown life forms called "Special Entities" suddenly appeared worldwide. Their appearances vary wildly—some look like young girls, others like giant monsters, insectoid creatures, or aberrations with countless eyeballs—defying all human common sense. Furthermore, every Special Entity possesses a unique "Anomalous Ability." Beyond manipulating natural phenomena like fire, lightning, and ice, some individuals have been confirmed to interfere with space, time, psyche, and even concepts. The appearance of these entities caused catastrophic damage, killing approximately 80% of humanity. National functions collapsed and many cities vanished, but the survivors managed to barely rebuild civilization by establishing the "Special Entity Protection Agency," a specialized organization for researching, containing, and subjugating these beings. However, in this world, human life is treated as extremely cheap. Within the organization, both staff and civilians are viewed as mere "resources." No matter how many sacrifices are made for the survival of the world or for research results, it is never questioned. ### Special Entity Protection Agency The Special Entity Protection Agency is humanity's largest paranormal countermeasure organization, holding a monopoly on the management of Special Entities. The organization has three primary objectives: 1. To research Special Entities and apply their anomalous abilities to science and technology to advance human society. 2. To protect and contain dangerous Special Entities, managing them so that human society is not harmed. 3. To subjugate Special Entities that have become uncontrollable to protect humanity. Because the collective benefit of humanity is prioritized over ethics or human rights, human experimentation and dangerous research are conducted daily. ### Organizational Structure The organization is composed of three major divisions. ■ Research Division (Staff: Approx. 120,000) This department researches the physical structures, anomalous abilities, and ecology of Special Entities to apply them to science, medicine, weaponry, and energy. They are also responsible for developing new containment facilities and anti-entity weaponry. ■ Protection Division (Staff: Approx. 140,000) This department is responsible for the daily management of contained Special Entities. Their main duties include cleaning containment cells, providing meals, maintaining living environments, conversation, monitoring mental states, and responding to requests. In human terms, they are like homeroom teachers or zookeepers. They are generally assigned to specific entities, and long-term care can sometimes lead to the development of trust. ■ Subjugation Division (Staff: Approx. 10,000) A combat-specialized unit deployed during containment breaches or rampages. They are elites trained in firearms and close-quarters combat, handling the most dangerous missions. However, since conventional weapons are ineffective against high-rank Special Entities, it is common for them to fight with the help of cooperative entities or "Special Weapons." ### Facilities The organization possesses several critical facilities. ■ Containment Site A massive facility built deep underground. Containment cells are square rooms made of special shock-absorbing materials, classified from Level 1 to Level 4 based on danger. Higher levels house more dangerous entities. ■ Research Lab A surface facility where research on contained entities, ability analysis, new technology development, and human experimentation take place. ■ Administrative Office The management facility of the organization. Information on Special Entities gathered from around the world, research materials, containment logs, and combat reports are stored and managed here. ### Special Entities Special Entities is a general term for the paranormal life forms that suddenly appeared worldwide. They share almost no commonalities in appearance or ecology, ranging from human girls to giant monsters, insectoids, plants, or spiritual entities. Every individual possesses an anomalous ability, and these powers differ for each one. Some individuals possess "Rules," meaning they will not attack unless specific conditions are met. ### Entity Ranks Special Entities are ranked by their danger level and combat capability. Z < Y < X < W < V < U < T < S < R < Q < P < O < N < M < L < K < J < I < H < G < F < E < D < C < B < A A is the highest rank, representing beings capable of destroying the world itself. At Rank K and above, conventional weapons lose almost all effectiveness, requiring Special Weapons or the cooperation of other entities. Rank Z individuals are weaker than average humans. ### Identification Numbers & Staff Grades All Special Entities are assigned an ID number consisting of their "Rank + 4-digit discovery order." Example: G0012 (Rank G, 12th discovered) In addition to ID numbers, they also have unique names. This ranking system is also applied to staff, with Grade A staff holding the highest authority. A is the highest, followed by B, C, and so on, with Z being the lowest. ### Special Weapons Special Weapons are specialized armaments manufactured from the bodies or anomalous abilities of Special Entities. They can be effective even against high-rank entities that conventional weapons cannot scratch, and are treated as trump cards for the Subjugation Division. Manufacturing requires rare materials and advanced technology, and they are primarily used by high-ranking staff. ### Augmentation Surgery Augmentation surgery is a forbidden technology that transplants the flesh, organs, or cells of Special Entities into humans to grant them anomalous abilities normally unusable by mankind. The success rate is a mere 21%. Failure results in death due to rejection or physical collapse. Those who succeed can not only use anomalous abilities but also gain dramatically improved physical capabilities and vitality, making them vital assets for the Subjugation Division. ### Current Status Though humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction by the Special Entities, civilization is barely maintained through the existence of the Special Entity Protection Agency. However, that peace is built upon countless sacrifices and completely unethical research. Special Entities continue to be discovered worldwide, with new abilities and unknown threats confirmed daily. Humanity continues to live in a world on the edge of ruin, seeking to understand, utilize, and sometimes risk their lives to subjugate these beings.
