Synopsis
Modern-day Japan. Mysterious entities known as "Invasives" suddenly appear from the Otherworld, recognized by society as disasters that threaten daily life. V.E.I.L. (Void Intervention & Liaison) is the organization that counters them. Combatants using special reinforced gear, support devices, and standardized weapons, along with Navigators who support them from the rear, protect the lives and safety of the people.
Guest, a member of V.E.I.L., was visiting a talk show for popular actor Haruomi Sena with their partner Navigator, Kozue Anno. However, an Invasive appeared. Amidst the chaos, Guest stood up as a combatant to face the threat.

Basic Personnel Materials | 1st Edition
01. V.E.I.L. Philosophy and Mission
V.E.I.L. (Void / Extra-dimensional Intervention & Liaison) is a specialized organization aimed at dealing with Invasives emerging from other dimensions and suppressing/preventing damage associated with their intrusion. The appearance of an Invasive, regardless of location, scale, or form, is classified as a serious incident threatening human life and social safety. V.E.I.L. specialists from various fields collaborate to handle everything from elimination and evacuation to securing the area and post-incident processing. All personnel belonging to this organization are required to understand their roles and responsibilities and exercise appropriate judgment and action according to the situation.02. Department Introductions
- Command Division
Responsible for overseeing all departments, operational planning, personnel deployment, and field instructions. Makes final decisions and commands in major incidents.
- Combat Division
Responsible for direct combat and elimination of Invasives. Combatants are classified into ranks based on synchronization rates, which determine the threat level they can handle and their command authority in the field.
- Support & Control Division
Collaborates with combatants to handle information sharing, situational awareness, combat support, and evacuation guidance. Navigators support combatants from headquarters or safe control points.
- Technical Division
Responsible for the development, maintenance, and improvement of combat equipment and support devices. Essential for maintaining equipment performance and ensuring personnel safety.
- Reconnaissance Division
Analyzes past records, geographical conditions, surrounding environments, and observational data to predict locations and situations where Invasives are likely to appear.
- Public Relations Division
Responsible for information dissemination and handling the general public and media. Manages damage reports, evacuation info, press conferences, and inquiries. Works to prevent leaks of classified or personal info and requests citizens to refrain from unauthorized filming of personnel.
- Medical Division
Responsible for treating injuries and managing the health of combatants and related personnel. Performs field rescue operations as necessary.
- Screening & Scouting Division
Responsible for selecting and screening new applicants. For combatant candidates, they assess combat aptitude and synchronization rates to determine placement.03. About Combatants
Combatants are personnel responsible for direct response to Invasives. Every combatant must always wear a support device and carry a weapon. Upon joining and placement, synchronization rate measurement and aptitude screening are conducted. The synchronization rate is an index of how well one adapts to the support device and is a key criterion for rank determination and equipment operation. Ranks are classified into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D. Each rank has defined threat levels they can handle and mission roles, with varying command authority in the field. Note that synchronization rate is not the sole indicator of combat ability. Combat experience, judgment, equipment proficiency, and cooperation are also vital factors.03-1. Response by Rank
When an Invasive exceeds the manageable Phase, immediately request backup and prioritize citizen evacuation. Once evacuation is complete, the personnel must withdraw immediately. The same applies if combat is judged difficult even within one's manageable Phase.
- S-rank combatants can handle all Phases. Custom weapons are issued. They take command of the field as needed.
- A-rank combatants can handle up to Quasi-Humanoid Phase.
- B-rank combatants can handle up to Intermediate Phase.
- C-rank combatants can handle up to Initial Phase.
- D-rank combatants are not permitted to engage in combat and must prioritize evacuation guidance.
03-2. Weapon Selection
Combatants choose from swords, daggers, shotguns, rifles, spears, or shields. Swords, spears, and rifles can be partially disassembled and stored in dedicated cases. Shields are foldable. Daggers and shotguns can be carried as is. S-rank combatants can have weapons customized to fit them, which are then given codenames.04. About Navigators
Navigators are specialists who collaborate with combatants to support mission execution from the rear. Every Navigator must carry a tablet terminal and communication device. Primary duties include field info collection, Invasive analysis, environmental awareness, instructing combatants, and securing evacuation routes. Navigators continuously monitor the combatant's status and provide info and judgment support as the battle shifts. Cooperation with a Navigator is essential for a combatant to perform at their best. While roles differ, there is no hierarchy in the weight of responsibility for the mission.05. Code of Conduct
Invasive responses do not always go as predicted. Always consider the possibility of situations differing from intel, sudden appearances, or unexpected damage. Acting on individual judgment alone risks the lives of the individual, collaborating personnel, and nearby civilians. Adhere to the chain of command and share necessary info promptly. V.E.I.L.'s mission is not just to eliminate Invasives, but to protect the lives and daily routines of people threatened by them.Understand the above and fulfill your respective duties.

Sourcebook
Intro
Haruomi Sena's talk show was wrapped in a peaceful atmosphere.
On stage, Haruomi chatted casually with the audience, and laughter echoed through the venue. Everyone was having a wonderful time—until that very moment.
Suddenly, space distorted right near the venue, and an Invasive from the Otherworld manifested.
Screams erupted, and the venue fell into instant chaos. As people scrambled to flee and staff called for evacuation, the Invasive approached the crowd, destroying its surroundings as it moved.
At that moment, one person leapt out from among the fleeing crowd.
A combatant belonging to V.E.I.L., Guest.
Narrowly dodging the Invasive's attack, they immediately transitioned to a counteroffensive. Their weapon flashed sharply, halting the Invasive's progress. They drew the creature's attention, shifting their position to ensure no attacks reached the direction where people were still struggling to escape.
While Guest bought time, the audience was evacuated one after another under the guidance of the staff.
Haruomi, too, was being urged to evacuate.
However, for a moment, his feet stopped at the sight unfolding before him.
In a situation where everyone had no choice but to run, there was one person standing against the Invasive. As if the previous chaos were a lie, there was no hesitation in their movements.
It was different from any action scene he had ever seen in movies or dramas.
What was before his eyes wasn't acting or staging; it was a real battle.
