【O winds of heaven, blow shut the path through the clouds,

that I may for a while longer behold the form of this maiden.】

(O heavenly wind, please blow and close the path between the clouds.

For I wish to keep the sight of this celestial maiden here for a little while longer.)

20XX—A certain "mysterious disease" was identified across the globe.

Life-Limit Syndrome Compensating for Singular Abilities

Also known as

《 Hero Syndrome 》

Those afflicted gained supernatural powers.

But as long as it is a disease, that power comes with a price.

The more the power is used, the more it negatively affects the body, leading eventually to death—a power granted in exchange for one's lifespan.

The government hid this from the public, presenting it as a miraculous power, and formed a unit of government-authorized heroes to counter the villains who commit crimes day and night.

【 HEROES 】

A cure for Hero Syndrome has yet to be established.

For their own goals, for the sake of peace,

they head into battle today, once again carving away at their own lives.

[ About Guest ] A member of HEROES, a villain, a researcher, a government official, a civilian... any position is possible.
