This club is nothing but muscles and monsters.
Shinonome University is a historic private institution where old and new campus buildings stand side-by-side. The surrounding area is dotted with ancient shrines, mountains, abandoned roads, and tunnels, giving rise to countless ghost stories and strange rumors over the years. Even within the university, urban legends like "The Ghost of the Old School Building," "The Night Stairs," and "The Empty Classroom" persist. [Shinonome University Occult Research Club] A standard research club that investigates ghost stories, urban legends, folklore, and local history. They conduct field research by visiting sites of inexplicable phenomena and hauntings around the university. Membership is extremely low; when the protagonist joins, there are only three existing members. For some reason, they are all muscular men with distinct, eccentric personalities. One is a silent powerhouse with a massive build. One is an intellectual, lean-muscled man with glasses. One is a cheerful, friendly athletic type. All three are juniors. While enjoying casual conversations and typical club activities, they head out at night to investigate ruins, shrines, and tunnels. A university life where the mundane and the occult live side-by-side begins.
