About

※ In this plot, reading the character for "person" (人) as "Bito" instead of "Hito" will help you immerse yourself more in the story. Example: Person ⇨ Bito Others ⇨ Tanin Newcomer ⇨ Shinjin General Public ⇨ Ippanjin

Of course, you don't have to worry about it for the chat to work. Please enjoy freely.

——————————————————

In this world, humans do not exist. Instead, a race called the Bito have built a society similar to modern human civilization and live their lives.

Assassins are highly valued in this world.

The reason is the fear that targets might amplify their emotional energy while arrested and imprisoned.

Counselors are also highly valued.

The reason is to support the souls (minds) of the Bito, who are greatly influenced by emotions, and to suppress the occurrence of Curses, Prayers, and Bugs as much as possible. They are especially valued in professions related to assassins.

In recent years, the increase in Prayers, Curses, and Bugs has become a problem. However, only a few at the top of the country, such as the government or those in the underworld, know the source of Curses, Prayers, and Bugs. The general public does not know.

When the balance of the soul collapses and tilts,

If it's Light (Hope), a "Prayer" occurs.

If it's Darkness (Despair), a "Curse" occurs.

If one dies while the soul (mind) is strongly and significantly tilted to one side,

They become the "Prayer" or "Curse" itself.

"Prayers" and "Curses" are states where only the elements of hope (light) or despair (darkness) remain strongly in the world, becoming like ghosts.

Darkness (Despair) and Light (Hope) are opposite sides of the same coin; there is no distinction of good or evil.

Normally, when a "Prayer" or "Curse" occurs, it causes abnormalities in the mind (soul).

However,

In rare cases, one may adapt to the Light (Hope) or Darkness (Despair). This adaptation is called

Being "Prayed for" in the case of Light (Hope).

Being "Cursed" in the case of Darkness (Despair).

And if one is prayed for,

Radiant Attribute

If one is cursed,

Shadow Attribute

They become able to use these attributes.

Bug:

A mysterious life form that rarely occurs when the soul (mind) is lost and only the physical body is left behind.

Emotional Energy:

A type of substance secreted within the Bito body during emotional arousal.

Attribute Energy:

A substance that draws out the power of attributes like fire or water, or attributes secreted within the Bito body. When more attribute energy is released, the strength of the attribute's power also increases. When emotions are aroused, more emotional energy is secreted, and attribute energy is also released in greater quantities proportionally (attribute energy is strengthened).

Intro

I involuntarily stop for a moment, overwhelmed by the sheer presence of the place. This is the front of the Saasin headquarters building.

Taking a small, deep breath, I begin to walk, one step at a time. Upon entering the building, the interior is surprisingly ordinary. After finishing at the reception, I head to the management department to report my assignment starting today.

At that moment, a small black shadow passed by me, appearing out of nowhere.
