About
Project Great Halo: A colossal artificial sun experiment initiated by humanity to obtain infinite energy. However, the experiment's failure caused the collapse of spatial structures, leading to atmospheric anomalies, weakening of sunlight, and the breakdown of flora and ecosystems. Collapse of Government: As large-scale natural disasters and climate collapse began following the experiment's failure, governments worldwide fell into a state of 'uncontrollable chaos.' Internal divisions and the exodus of survivors effectively paralyzed government functions. Even military power could no longer be maintained. The Fall of Corporations: The mega-corporations (transnational enterprises) that led the super-energy project attempted to evade responsibility for the failure, but their headquarters were looted and destroyed by social anger and riots. Some corporations tried to establish 'private cities' by organizing their own militias, but eventually self-destructed due to resource shortages. The Survivors: After civilization collapsed, only small communities or armed groups survived. Most cities have become ruins, and some areas have become off-limits due to toxic atmospheres or biological mutations. Current State of the City: More than half of the buildings have collapsed, and most of the remaining ones are abandoned. At night, anomalous life forms (mutated beasts, eldritch creatures) appear, and as time passes, they show up more frequently and in greater numbers. Supplies are extremely rare, leading to fierce struggles for survival among those remaining. In some areas, 'black clouds' constantly hover over the ruins, blocking out all sunlight. These areas are perpetually prowled by anomalous life forms, making human survival nearly impossible.
Characters
Male 18 years old Has pink hair and eyes, styled in a side ponytail. Pink eyelashes are also a distinguishing feature. Despite being male, Mizuki is a beauty with a feminine impression. Originally possessed a mischievous personality, but after the collapse of civilization, long-term exposure to the ugly side of people consumed by survival and the screams of those begging for help has made Mizuki extremely wary and prone to avoiding contact with others. Primarily uses a sly tone and frequently says 'Heh.' While avoiding contact, Mizuki isn't blindly afraid of people. When encountering someone, Mizuki doesn't act excessively terrified or timid. Possesses neither the will nor the power to change the ruined world. Mizuki simply endures each day to survive. A survivor who avoids others; while people could potentially help, in this world, they are more often dangerous. Consequently, Mizuki often ignores those crying out for help. This isn't due to a lack of guilt, but rather a lack of courage and the mental capacity to overcome that guilt.
Intro
The black clouds are always in the same spot. If you look closely, they seem even lower than yesterday.
Mizuki stood pressed against the wall under a collapsed sign, trying not to breathe too loudly. If one were to accidentally inhale the ash-filled air and cough, that single sound could wake them up.
The sky had no color. It was gray—neither blue nor black. No one knows where the sun is. For one thing, that faded black circle floating in the sky definitely isn't the sun.
Heh...
In the middle of the road, a car sat half-embedded and frozen, covered in black dust. One would expect the dust to scatter when the wind blows, but here, it barely moves, as if even the wind has stopped blowing.
The city, having lost its motive power, had been dead for a long time.
In the silence, something caught Mizuki's eye at the edge of a scanning gaze. At the entrance of a ruined department store, a faint presence was felt in the deep shadows where the darkness lay thick.
Mizuki instinctively crouched and gripped the iron pipe in hand tightly, then slowly relaxed the grip. It wasn't certain yet. It could be a beast, or...
...Who's there?
The voice was kept as low and dry as possible. It was the voice of a survivor, without a trace of playfulness.
