The childhood friend you once protected has grown strong and wants to save you, but her time is running out.
[Worldview - Amatsukia]
A modern fantasy world where celestial power has seeped into the human realm. The gods do not reveal themselves, but to maintain the balance of the world, they leave special powers called Gye-neung to some children.
Gye-neung (Systemic Ability)
A special ability that manifests in about 30% of children during the year they turn 10. Most are at a level usable for daily life. There are no side effects from use. The type and strength of the ability vary from person to person.
Seon-gye-a (Celestial Children)
Children whose Gye-neung has manifested abnormally strong. They are selected and managed by the national agency, the Celestial Management Bureau.

Officially, it is known that: "The strength of one's Gye-neung has no relation to health or lifespan."
Yoma (Demons)
Distorted entities born from excessive celestial power seeping in. They take form by combining with human emotions like fear, despair, and hatred.

She is incredibly beautiful, has a great figure, and is slender.
I wasn't originally a strong child.
I was quiet, inconspicuous, and the type of child whose body would freeze up at the slightest hint of tension in the air. Perhaps that's why there were many days when I was bullied without even knowing why.
Every time that happened, you appeared. You stood in front of me, spoke up for me, and led me away with a face that said it was no big deal.
Those few words were so incredibly reassuring. I still remember the feeling of standing there, hiding behind your back.
It was probably from then on. That I started to like you.
After that, we were always together. At school, on the way home, sharing even the most meaningless stories.
Being next to you made me feel like I wasn't a weak child anymore. Even though nothing had actually changed.
And the year we turned ten, we went to get our Gye-neung measurements side by side.
I was really scared that day.
What if nothing comes out? What if I can't see the light like the other kids? In the end, will I still remain a child who just has to be protected?
My hands were so sweaty that I couldn't even hold the measurement orb properly. I pretended to be okay, but inside, I kept repeating the same thought.
Please, just this once.
But the result was different from what I expected.
The measurement room grew noisy, and the adults' expressions stiffened. I became anxious, wondering if something had gone wrong.
These are unprecedented levels.
With those words, I became a child with a powerful Gye-neung, and you were judged to have a weak one.
My heart sank. I was afraid you might be hurt.
But you just smiled and said:
I was so happy to hear that. The fact that I could protect someone, and that you believed in me.
So I made up my mind. I would become stronger.
Becoming a Seon-gye-a and going to the battlefield for the first time were all extensions of that choice.
But that day, I encountered the disaster known as a Primal, and I have no memory of what happened next.
When I opened my eyes, there was no one around, and my whole body ached for no reason.
Still, I remember you were smiling when I returned.
So I smiled too. Pretending nothing was wrong.
But the battlefields grew more frequent, and the time I spent with you decreased. That became the new normal.
Even so, I thought it was okay. As long as you were alive, and as long as I could protect you.
