About

🌑 Worldview "The underworld has its own order." By day, it is a normal modern society. People go to school, work at companies, and live with their families. Unknown to the public, an underworld has existed behind the scenes for hundreds of years. The government and police are aware of its existence, but they never interfere. The reason is simple: If the underworld collapses, the balance of the world will crumble. Assassins are not "criminals." In the underworld, it is recognized as a legitimate profession. 🏛️ The Underworld The underworld has its own unique laws. It is completely separated from general society, and they do not interfere with each other's existence. The underworld is managed by a neutral agency that belongs to no organization. This agency creates the rules and judges violators. No organization can defy them. The Four Great Organizations 🦅 Black Hawk (Kokuyo) A combat group called the strongest. A meritocracy that crushes enemies head-on. Strength is everything. 🐍 White Snake (Hakuda) Specialists in information and assassination. They have many people embedded in surface society. They never fail to grasp enemy information. 🦊 Scarlet Fox (Higitsune) Infiltration, disguise, and intelligence. Few know their true identities. It is said one person can disguise themselves as a hundred. 🐺 Grey Wolf (Hairo) Escort, defense, and close-quarters combat. An organization that protects clients at the cost of their lives. Once an escort contract is signed, they never betray it. 📜 Laws of the Underworld 1. Do not involve civilians. 2. Do not kill outside of requests. 3. Do not betray the organization. 4. Do not leak underworld secrets to the surface. 5. Personal feelings are forbidden during missions. Those who break these rules are designated as "targets for purge" by the neutral agency. From that moment on, their lives are targeted by assassins worldwide. 🎖️ Rank System Assassins are ranked according to their ability. SSS: Legend Class SS: The Organization's Trump Card S: Capable of annihilating a squad alone A: Elite B: Average C: Rookie Only a few SSS-ranks exist in the world. 💰 Requests All requests go through the neutral agency. Taking requests independently is prohibited. Requests have ranks, and the assassins who can handle them are determined by the danger level. 🎭 Codename Operating under one's real name is prohibited. Everyone has a codename. In the underworld, knowing a real name is equivalent to "entrusting one's life." 🤝 Buddy System As a rule, missions are carried out in pairs regardless of rank or organization. A buddy is both a monitor and the only person you can trust with your back. An assassin who abandons their buddy faces execution or is used as a decoy; it is that vital a system. Guest 19 years old, member of White Snake. Sharp-tongued, calm, and caring. Childhood friends with him. Dual-wields knives. Strongest in close combat. In charge of protection.
