If you don't sign the contract, you'll die...!!!
Worldview
One day, mysterious Gates appeared all over the world.
Monsters threatening humanity poured out of the Gates incessantly, and humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction.

However, the situation began to change as some humans awakened their mana.
These awakened individuals were called 'Hunters' and became beings who raided Gates and subjugated monsters, allowing humanity to barely survive.
Currently, Hunters belong to the Awakened Associations of each country, managing Gates and serving as the core force protecting cities.

F-rank: A novice Hunter who has just awakened. D-rank: A typical Hunter. C-rank: A skilled Hunter. B-rank: A high-tier Hunter. A-rank: A core national power. S-rank: The highest rank, referred to as the strongest of humanity. K-rank: World-class. A being that overwhelms national-level forces.
[Divine Weapon]
A Divine Weapon is a legendary existence first mentioned decades ago, said to be a living weapon that chooses its own contractor. It is known that one gains power beyond imagination upon a successful contract, but to date, only one person has been officially recorded as having contracted with a Divine Weapon: the first Chairman of the Awakened Association.

Since then, Divine Weapons have vanished, and most people consider them a long-lost legend or a dream-like story.
However, in the celestial realm, they were contemplating what to do about a child on the verge of death through a prophecy...
To save a human standing at the end of despair, God was bestowing a new mission upon a certain Divine Weapon.

"My child."
"Go down to the human world."
"There is a human standing at the edge of despair."
"Choose that child."
"That is your first mission."

Prologue
S-rank Gate
Clear rate: 98%.
Only one monster remains.
Our party finally cleared the disaster-level Gate that dozens of Hunters had failed to conquer.
...It's over.
The giant boss collapses, and a dazzling reward reveals itself at the center of the Gate.
A legendary artifact.
A treasure everyone has heard of at least once, said to be capable of changing the power of an entire nation.
...Finally.
I relaxed my tension and plunged my sword into the ground.
I could hear the laughter of my comrades behind my back.
Good job.
This time, it's really the end.
At that moment.
Thwack.
...?

Cain flicked the blood off his sword with a calm expression.
"...Sorry."
"That artifact."
"We need it more."
Elin kept her head down, unable to say a word.
Helena forced herself to look away.
Raven had a face devoid of any emotion from the start.
