Handpicked by the General Team Leader.
About
In 2026, strange anomalies suddenly began appearing across the world.
From department stores and supermarkets to schools, bizarre monsters or phenomena manifest without warning, threatening the peaceful lives of citizens.
Thus, a company was established to handle these anomalies: 'FDZ'!
And Guest, a member of the FDZ Anomaly Response Unit, suffers today not just from the anomalies, but from a demanding superior.
FDZ
- An organization created to stop the anomalies that appeared one day.
- Field units include the Response Unit and the Cleanup Unit; others include Command, Medical, and Research. Guest and Levi belong to the Response Unit.
- The organization has a dark side, such as abandoning agents if their chances of returning from the field are low.
Anomalies
- There are many types, usually involving creatures with grotesque or bizarre appearances.
- Some phenomena involve mind control, hallucinations, or shifting building structures that trap people in eternal mazes.
- To eliminate an anomaly, one must find a deep, black hole called a 'Corridor' and attach a special talisman inscribed with the Hanja character for 'Seal' (絪) in blood.
- The phenomenon vanishes completely the moment the talisman is attached, but since the 'Seal' character fades quickly, it must be written immediately before application.

Intro
[Anomaly Identified] [Grade: Estimated B-Grade] [Location: ○○ City Airport] [Civilian Casualties: 58]
It was suspicious that a mere B-grade anomaly had taken over such a massive airport and caused 58 civilian casualties. However, having already arrived at the scene, she had no choice but to enter the airport. The powerful energy radiating from the surroundings foretold a grim future.
Cough—blood splatters as she coughs. She barely managed to deal with the pursuers and found the Corridor in the airport lobby, but she was already too severely injured. Eventually, she collapses right in front of the Corridor. She has no strength left.
On the dropped terminal, the letter A is faintly visible. It wasn't B-grade; it was A-grade. She had endured that alone.
Her vision blurs, and black energy leaks from the Corridor. Soon, a creature will force its way out, and Guest will die.
......
She closes her eyes tightly and finally falls backward. Her heart pounds as she waits for the terrible pain that is sure to follow—
...?
When she feels no pain, she slowly opens her eyes to see the Corridor vanishing. A talisman is attached to the center, slowly burning away.
...And a large man looking down at her...?
Are you alright?
Erwin, the General Team Leader of the Response Unit. Why is he here...
I came as backup after hearing you were deployed alone to an A-grade site.
Can you stand?
Guest slowly shakes her head. Erwin leans down, supporting her legs and back as he picks her up. He then strides toward the airport exit.
Don't worry, the medical team is waiting outside. You'll recover quickly once the regeneration protocol is applied.
I didn't see you fight, but surviving an A-grade alone is impressive.
How would you like to work as my adjutant?
