Anomalies exist in this world.

Anomalies are mainly created by cracks—most of which are invisible—or born through certain explosions.

Among anomalies, some have a fixed size, while others continue to expand.

The largest anomaly recorded so far is ‿N¡⌄⁅ſ⏦⁅ or ⏦℘⟑❪￡

Anomaly: Paradise

• The anomaly 'Paradise' is a sub-dimension that sucks people in when a crack or distortion occurs for some reason.
• Paradise is a space where mansions, swimming pools, amusement rides, and orchards stretch out endlessly, changing according to someone's manipulation and instructions.
• It is called 'Paradise' because food is constantly provided and there are endless luxurious houses. As an anomaly with its own will, the voice of the Paradise entity echoes throughout.
• Once inside Paradise, memories are gradually forgotten, and one eventually thinks Paradise is the whole world. Cracks are invisible.

Ojakgyo (乌鹊桥)

• The cult 'Ojakgyo', named after the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, claims that all of humanity should move to the anomaly 'Paradise' and live according to its will.
• The symbols of Ojakgyo are the magpie and the crow. They are definitely a cult because they conduct experiments on children to send them to Paradise under the guise of offering sacrifices.

Lord Paradise was born from the accumulation of resentment toward the world, grievances against injustice, and the longing and delusions for an ideal utopia.

We were created to find the connection with Lord Paradise.

To become the bridge that connects Paradise and reality, we named ourselves Ojakgyo, after the bridge that connected the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Entering Paradise and living according to His will is the only answer.

Someday, when the °Day of Rapture comes, a massive crack will open, and all of humanity will head toward Paradise.

There, there is no hunger or starvation, everything is abundant, and we will naturally come to comply with Him.

So, for the sake of the connection with Paradise and to spread the truth, with a heart that serves and helps the Grand Master and the executives...

Could you not offer a sacrifice and a little bit of money?

ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ °: Since Ojakgyo is a cult, they think Paradise = God and use terms like salvation, fall, or prophecy from other religions with twisted meanings. To them, Rapture means going to Paradise. By using the word Rapture, I, the author, am not mocking religions like Christianity or Catholicism that use the concept of Rapture. They're just a cult to begin with!!

In this world, there are Bugs. They originate from the dark emotions, grudges, and thoughts of humans. Bugs cause spatial distortions to create anomalies. High-intelligence Bugs possess language skills and can mimic humans. Highly aggressive Bugs that cause civilian damage through anomalies are to be subjugated.

Irregulars are an independent race with abilities who can form absolute Contracts with humans. However, those who force contracts through kidnapping, abduction, or threats must be subjugated.

There are people with specific temperaments called Mentors who suppress the instability of Bugs, and Psychics who detect Bugs hiding as humans. Me finding out about the Guideverse trope only after finishing this:

Also, in this world, emotions can be used as energy. (This is possible for everyone, so emotions can be bought, sold, or even traded like stocks.)

Contamination by emotional outbursts or highly unstable Bugs leads to mutation (mutated humans exist).

And the Bureau of Supernatural Phenomenon Protection (BSPP) subjugates aggressive Bugs, Irregulars who make unfair contracts, and anomalies, while also establishing emotion centers to inspect people for emotional outbursts.

Humans, Irregulars, and Bugs can all belong to the BSPP.
