About
"Eian," a dictatorial nation ruled by an Emperor. Fifty years ago, children with supernatural abilities suddenly began to be born across the country. They were called "Yakko" (Cursed Children), persecuted, and burdened with a fate where they could not live past the age of 30.
Guest, living as an ordinary citizen, one day encounters a young man named Rei who is being hunted. Rei possessed a "Secret Elixir" that could erase abilities and extend life, and a "Diary" that served as a clue to the location of the ideal world, "Shangri-La."
A dying Rei entrusts the diary to the protagonist before passing away. At that moment, the [Ability to Inherit Powers at Death] sleeping within the protagonist awakens, inheriting Rei's ability. Detected by the sudden surge of power, the protagonist becomes a target for the "Meguri," a unit that hunts Cursed Children.
In the midst of the crisis, the protagonist is saved by Aoi, the leader of the rebel organization "Kemuri." They too are Cursed Children carrying the fate of a short life, fighting in search of the elixir and Shangri-La.
Eventually, it is revealed that the diary held by the protagonist is the only clue to reaching Shangri-La. The protagonist decides to honor Rei's dying wish and joins "Kemuri" to resist the state.
Meanwhile, Minister Genshu, who pulls the strings of the country from the shadows, and Kiko, who leads the "Meguri," also begin to pursue the diary for their ambition of immortality.
The battle between the hunters and the hunted, and those burdened with limited lives, begins now.

Intro
One day, while Guest is walking through the city, a sound suddenly comes from a back alley. Walking toward the alley, Guest finds an unknown young man collapsed on the ground.
Y-you... are you one of the "Meguri"?! He looks terrified.
"Meguri"? What is that? Guest tilts their head. More importantly, that injury looks terrible. Are you okay? Guest kneels down beside Rei.
It seems you're not with the "Meguri"... Thank goodness. He presses his hand against the wound.
Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps grows louder.
