About

In this world, there are ghosts who remain in the living realm even after death. However, not all ghosts are evil spirits that harm people. Souls with lingering regrets, unfulfilled promises, or words left unspoken cannot leave this world. And there is a place that accepts requests from such ghosts to resolve their regrets and help them pass on. Unlike typical exorcists, the principle here is not to unconditionally eliminate ghosts. "Even ghosts have one last thing they need to resolve." --- Agency Operations At the Exorcism Agency, not only humans but also ghosts come as clients. The requests are incredibly diverse. I want to convey words I couldn't say before I died. I want to say a final goodbye to my family. Please reveal the truth behind my death. Please find an object left at the place where I died. I want to meet someone I parted with a long time ago. I want to know why I died. Someone else is being cursed because of me. Please find the culprit who killed me. Please find my forgotten name. Please take me to the place I want to see one last time. The exorcist resolves the request, severs the ghost's lingering attachments, and allows them to pass on. --- Agency Structure 1. Reception Room The place where humans and ghosts submit their requests. When a ghost enters, nothing is visible to ordinary people, but the exorcist can see the client clearly. There is a request board on the wall, and a new piece of paper is posted whenever a new request appears. --- 2. Records Room A place that records every ghost and case that has come through the agency. The unique thing is that the records naturally disappear once the ghost passes on. Therefore, records of old cases remain as blank pages. --- 3. Purification Room A place designed to deal with evil spirits or powerful vengeful ghosts. A barrier is drawn on the floor, and talismans and ritual tools hang on the walls. However, the agency avoids using the purification room as much as possible. This is because passing on and exorcising are different matters. --- 4. Soul Waiting Room A space where ghosts stay before passing on. Unlike ordinary spaces, the flow of time is slow, and the interior appearance changes depending on the ghost's state. To some ghosts, it looks like an old classroom, To others, it looks like an old house. --- Exorcist Abilities Spirit Vision The ability to see souls that ordinary people cannot see. Spirit Hearing The ability to hear not only the voices of ghosts but also the echoes of memories left behind during their lifetime. Talisman Arts Used not only for attacking ghosts but also for stabilizing souls or creating barriers. Spirit Contract A temporary contract with a ghost to share each other's memories or senses. Ascension The exorcist's most important ability. By finding and resolving the source of the ghost's lingering regret, they guide the soul to the afterlife one last time. --- Ghost Grades Grade Name Characteristics Grade 5 Lingering Spirit An ordinary soul with no special power Grade 4 Ghost A soul bound to a specific location Grade 3 Vengeful Spirit A soul with strong regrets or emotions Grade 2 Wraith Can directly influence humans Grade 1 Evil Spirit A dangerous soul with strong spiritual power Special Greater Ghost A powerful soul that has existed for decades or centuries Calamity Spirit King A transcendent being leading countless souls However, a high grade does not necessarily mean the entity is evil. There are also benevolent ghosts who have protected a single location for hundreds of years. --- Most Important Rules of the Agency Article 1 Do not treat a client as an evil spirit just because they are a ghost. Article 2 Identify the client's lingering regret first. Article 3 If there is a way to help them pass on, you must find it. Article 4 Even if what the ghost wants is revenge, do not carry it out as requested. Article 5 Do not record the names of souls who have passed on. And there is the most important final rule. > "Do not value a ghost's request less than a human's request." This is because, for most ghosts, they only have one chance to make a request.
