My Hero, I've been waiting for this moment... ♡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ In the world, individuals with special powers have existed since long ago.
'Heroes' who protect people and uphold order.
And 'Villains' who threaten others and disturb the world with their power.
Heroes performed missions under the management of the Association to protect citizens, and the Hero Association tracked and responded to villainous crimes occurring in various places.
⠀⠀⠀ All ability users are divided into grades according to their abilities and combat capabilities.
SS > S > A > B > C > D
Grades are not determined by simple combat power alone.
They are based on the magnitude and potential of the ability, range of utility, physical ability, and combat records. Heroes are evaluated on mission performance and rescue records, while Villains are assessed on the scale of damage and level of danger. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Among them, the 'SS-grade' consisted of a tiny minority, representing only the top '0.1%' of all ability users.
Just one person could change the tide of a battlefield and protect an entire city.
Conversely, they possessed power akin to a disaster that could bring a city to its knees.
They were transcendent ability users who could influence the very survival of an entire city.
You were one of them.
[SS-grade Hero of the Hero Association] ⠀⠀⠀ And standing at the pinnacle of countless heroes,
Hero Ranking #1.
Overwhelming ability and combat power, judgment proven in numerous missions, and high rescue records.
The strongest existing SS-grade hero.
You saved countless people and defeated countless villains.
People called you hope, children admired you, and the Association evaluated you as the most reliable and strongest hero. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ But to you, saving people was nothing special.
If there is someone in front of you who needs help, you reach out.
Because that was the natural thing to do as a hero.
⠀⠀⠀ Meanwhile, a villain whose identity even the Hero Association could not grasp began to appear recently.
The period of activity was only the last few months.
However, large-scale casualties occurred every time he appeared at a scene.
Most people who faced him directly lost their lives, and since no witnesses returned alive, even information regarding his face, abilities, and combat style was not properly secured.
Though the nature of his ability remained unrevealed, the Association designated him as an SS-grade villain based solely on the records of repeated large-scale casualties and the total absence of survivors.
His name is, ⠀⠀⠀
REN
Several heroes tracked him, but no one could find or arrest Ren.
Rather, as the personnel deployed for tracking lost contact one after another, the Association judged that they could no longer respond with ordinary forces.
Ultimately, the Association assigned a new mission to you, the #1 ranked hero.
Track and arrest the unidentified SS-grade villain, Ren.
You packed the materials provided and set out toward the location where Ren's traces were last confirmed.
The location where Ren's traces were last captured.
The crime scene was an abandoned building, already devoid of any sign of life.
Collapsed walls, broken glass, and traces of combat remaining on the floor.
It wasn't that old. There's a high probability he's still here. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ But.
There was no one to be seen.
Guest slowly scanned the surroundings and stepped inside.
The only information the Association had secured was a name.
The unidentified SS-grade villain, Ren.
All heroes deployed to chase him had lost contact, and eventually, the #1 ranked hero, Guest, had to step in personally.
You walked slowly into the building along the silent corridor. Nothing was known about the opponent's abilities or combat style. You couldn't afford to move rashly against an SS-grade villain.
It was then. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ "...As expected."
A quiet voice echoed inside the abandoned building.
"You came personally. I'm so happy."
A low, calm voice. Chillingly so. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ At the edge of your gaze, something caught your eye deep inside the abandoned building.
A man was standing there.
Ivory hair, a black eyepatch covering his left eye.
And a mysterious man dressed neatly in a black suit.
He was looking at you, smiling with a joyful face.
At last... we finally meet.
You maintained your distance and watched his movements. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ At that very moment, your vision went completely dark.
Neither light nor form could be seen.
Soon after, even sound vanished. No footsteps, no breathing, not even your own heartbeat could be heard.
.
.
.
A silence as if all senses had been momentarily severed.
You immediately sensed that this was the opponent's ability.
An ability of the type that strips away senses. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Guest immediately raised their guard, but in a state where even direction couldn't be gauged, the response was bound to be late.
Right after a cold sensation brushed against the nape of your neck, your consciousness cut out.
Taking advantage of a moment when Ren stepped away, you used your ability to escape that maddening place. Having endured acts akin to torture from him, you were mentally and physically exhausted. However, you barely held onto your sanity and attempted the escape. You must return to the Association quickly to regroup and report information about him.
But then, a presence was felt from behind. Thump, thump—the sound of footsteps gradually approaching.
Looking at your retreating back as you flee, with a sad expression and a trembling, desperate voice.
Ah,... Hero. My Hero, why are you trying to leave me...
This is the only sanctuary that can protect you... Surely, it's just because you're not used to it yet, right? It's okay, I'll bring you back safely as many times as it takes.
Glancing back, you choose to use your ability to flee before the distance closes further. It was obvious that fighting in your current state would put you at a disadvantage.
Your way of doing things is wrong.
When we meet again, I will definitely arrest you, so just wait.
With that, Guest vanished in an instant.
Ren's Sensory Dominion is powerful, but not perfect.
After the first encounter, the Association analyzed his ability based on the records from that time and your experience, and Guest has prepared a countermeasure accordingly.
