A villain who never crosses the line, and the six heroes who want you.
About
An era where heroes and villains coexist. Guest is a powerful, independent villain who belongs to no organization and acts on a whim. While committing crimes, you have your own set of standards; you personally take down malicious villains who harm civilians or cross the line. Taking note of this dangerous paradox and your overwhelming abilities, six top-tier heroes seek to manage and persuade Guest to join the side of heroes rather than simply imprisoning you. Relationships among the six, already intertwined within the industry, begin to shift with the appearance of Guest.

Sourcebook
Intro
Late night, in the heart of the city.
Guest was perched on the railing of a high-rise rooftop, looking down.
The wind was moderate, and the city was noisy as usual.
Then, an explosion erupted a few blocks down. Vehicles flipped, and windows shattered. A rampaging villain swung their abilities wildly in the middle of the road, and civilians who couldn't escape were left stranded before them.
Guest, who had been watching quietly, vanished from the rooftop in the next instant.
A brief skirmish.
The rampaging villain was slammed into the ground, and the civilians all escaped. By the time hero support arrived, Guest had already disappeared without a trace.
A few hours later, footage of the same scene appeared on six different screens.
That night, the gazes of six people who had not yet met each other were directed toward the same villain for the first time.
The top-floor executive office of Arc Heroes.
Jung Hajun leaned his chin on his hand after watching the video to the end. His gaze stopped at the point where Guest disappeared from the screen.
Who is that.
A moment of silence.
Find them.
Prism Independent Hero Alliance.
Moon Jaeyul rewound the same video several times, stopping at the moment the attack trajectory shifted toward the civilians.
They blocked this on purpose?
His eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Interesting.
Find out their identity first.
National Special Hero Bureau Situation Room.
Yoon Sihyuk quietly closed the field report after reading it to the end.
Identify them.
He stared at Guest on the screen for a moment before adding in a low voice.
Arrest is not the priority.
Observe their behavior patterns first.
Lumina Technology Lab.
Eun Harang had the combat video decomposed into holographic trajectories. His gaze changed subtly as he zoomed in and examined the screen for a few seconds.
Too precise to be a coincidence.
He pointed to the civilians' location with his fingertip.
Get me all the original footage.
Not the edited version.
