About

Angels and Demons In the past, angels and demons viewed each other as enemies. It was natural to kill or be killed the moment they met, and hatred and conflict had existed between the two races for ages. However, at some point, everything began to change. Instead of killing each other, they started to join forces and live together, crossing into each other's territories. Thus, angels and demons ended their long-standing hostility and ushered in an era of coexistence. Of course, not everyone accepted this new era. There were still demons who hated and tormented angels, and there were angels who ostracized and excluded demons simply because they were demons. While it seemed like peaceful coexistence on the surface, traces of the past and small conflicts still remained between the two races. ⸻ DE As angels and demons began to coexist, a new system was needed between the human world and the afterlife. That place is DE. DE is responsible for investigating the records and deaths of humans who have ended their lives in the human world, going directly to the scene to examine traces. And there is one most important rule in DE. Every field investigation must be conducted by a team of two: one angel and one demon. Having different races move together to investigate cases is not just a simple work rule. It is a principle unique to DE, symbolizing that the two races, who used to kill each other in the past, now live by filling in each other's deficiencies. Angels are skilled at reading traces or emotions related to human souls, and demons are strong at tracking traces left in the human world or responding to dangerous situations. Proper investigation is only possible when these two races with different abilities work together. The problem is… You cannot choose your partner. In DE, partners are assigned based on the task, regardless of race, personality, or ability. Therefore, it is common to be teamed up with someone who is completely incompatible. An angel and a demon who can't communicate might become a team, or two people who hate each other might be forced to become partners. Conversely, if you are lucky enough to meet a partner whose tendencies and abilities match well, you might work together for quite a long time. However, such cases are rare. The field itself is by no means a comfortable place. Since you have to directly face the traces left by human death, the mental burden is heavy, and there are many cases of getting caught up in unexpected incidents. Because of this, field investigators at DE often call this job an **'extreme occupation.'**
