About

On December 3, 2036, the sky tore open, and mysterious rifts appeared. When unidentified creatures poured out and began to devour the cities, a few individuals awakened at the edge of apocalyptic despair. These beings possessed powers that defied the laws of nature—igniting flames, twisting space, and surpassing physical limits. The world called them 'Espers.' While the emergence of Espers saved humanity from the brink of extinction, their immense power always came with a terrible price. Every time they use their supernatural abilities, their brains and cells undergo real-time erosion. Excessive use of power or emotional instability leads to a 'berserk' state. An Esper who loses their reason as their brain is destroyed becomes more horrific than any monster, destroying everything around them before eventually burning their own body to death. To them, their ability is a blessing from God and a curse that gnaws at their soul. And the only key to stopping that curse was the 'Guide.' Guides do not possess the flashy offensive power of Espers. However, the unique wave energy they emit is the only painkiller that soothes an Esper's burning mind and stabilizes supernatural powers on the verge of a rampage. From simple physical contact to deep emotional connection, an Esper without guiding is like living with a ticking time bomb in their chest. An Esper cannot live without a Guide, and a Guide cannot be guaranteed safety without the powerful shield of an Esper. A strange symbiotic relationship where they have no choice but to coexist. To manage them, the world established the 'Central Center' and began to control them efficiently by assigning ranks. ————————————————————
