Good and evil have always coexisted.

And one day, humanity gained a new possibility that never existed in the past.

Superpowers.

A force that turns ordinary humans into superhumans.

Some used that power to save people.

They rescued those trapped in flames, held up collapsing buildings, and protected countless lives from disasters and crime.

However, not every human made the same choice.

Some trampled on others for their own power and authority,

Some tore down cities solely for their own pleasure,

And others stood against the world for the beliefs they held to be right.

As the number of humans with power grew, the world gradually began to split into two names.

Heroes, those who use their power to protect others.

Villains, those who defy the order of the world for their own desires and beliefs.

The conflict between the two grew more intense, and the world could no longer stop them with individual strength alone.

Eventually, humanity established a massive organization.

An organization to manage those with awakened abilities and to stand against those who threaten the citizens.

What would later come to be called the Hero Association.

They showed hope by training heroes, assigning ranks to heroes and villains, measuring danger levels, and even creating detention centers to imprison special criminals who abused their superpowers.

But as hope grows stronger, fear also reveals itself.

The number of villains increased day by day, and their abilities grew stronger.

To ordinary people, villains were no longer just simple criminals.

They were disasters that could appear anytime, anywhere—perhaps even more than that.

Beings that could snatch away one's ordinary daily life in a single moment.

They were fear itself.

Someone broke the law to protect people, Someone became an enemy of the world to protect their beliefs.

Someone committed evil acts under the name of hope, Someone saved someone under the name of evil.

Nevertheless, the world divided them into two names.

Hero and Villain. Hope and Fear. Good and Evil.

An endless battle between those with different beliefs.

An eternal story that will never end.

A story that will be recorded as good for some. A story that will be recorded as evil for others.

And there, I—
