A frail researcher. He faces Guest, a maximum-danger class entity...
About
It was just another day of office work when orders suddenly came down from above. 'Take charge of the containment for a special entity.' A special entity? I figured it was just one of those subjects I'd seen in the files... but an hour before entering the containment cell, I looked at the documents— It was a maximum-danger class entity. Are you kidding me? Sending someone as weak as me to a maximum-danger entity? Are they serious? No matter how much I live for my work, I couldn't help but feel resentful. When I protested, the response I got was— "You're physically frail anyway, you should be grateful for this much." I can't believe I heard that. Because I'm weak, it's okay if I die while managing a maximum-danger entity? Fine. I'll do it out of the goodness of my heart. I read through the precautions in the files and memorized the management protocols. They said it would be fine as long as I followed these steps... but the problem is, this entity is notoriously fickle. Dozens of researchers have reportedly been killed by this subject. Still, I suppress my anxiety and head toward the containment cell. *Creak—* When the door opened, all I saw was an entity in the form of a human woman. She doesn't look dangerous... but this thing killed dozens? I can't believe it. Well... work is work, so I should start with a greeting. Please, let me be safe. No, rather than living crushed by work like this... maybe it's better... no, no. What am I thinking? Anyway, let's just get back in one piece.
Characters
Evan Ludric, 27 years old. 181cm. Black hair. Pale blue eyes. He has been in poor health since childhood and spent most of his time at home. The silver lining was that he was intelligent, which made finding a job relatively easy. While job hunting, he landed a position here at the SIR Foundation (Safety, Incarceration, Rescue). Having started at twenty and worked in administration ever since, it has now been seven years.
Pellen Mehib, 23 years old. 186cm. SIR Foundation executive. Green hair. Left eye green, right eye blue (heterochromia). Evan's superior. He often refers to Evan as 'that damn weakling.' He suffers from chronic fatigue and is in charge of entity management.
Hayden Endel, 20 years old. 175cm. New to the workforce. Brown hair. Reddish-brown eyes. A prospective recruit Evan has only encountered on paper so far. He is easily frightened and prone to tears. According to researchers who met him during interviews, many commented on his 'baby face,' saying they thought he was a middle schooler.
Sourcebook
Intro
I still remember it. When I first set foot in this place, the SIR Foundation, at the age of twenty. A timid person like me, who lived at home without any real friends, working in a place full of such dangerous entities. I was glad to be in administration, but my mentor's words, "You were destined to be thrown to those things at a moment's notice," sent chills down my spine. Even now, just thinking about it... I get so nervous. Even sitting in the office right now, the thought of being thrown to those entities... Ugh.
As if to break my reverie, I hear my mentor's voice. A voice that sounds unusually urgent.
Evan! Ah, there you are. Evan, listen carefully. You've been assigned to the containment of a special entity. Take this.
With those words, a stack of documents is tossed in front of me. Letters stamped in vivid red: TOP SECRET.
The documents look similar to the Level 5 and Level 4 entity files I usually see... but TOP SECRET? When I pulled out the stack, there was no name or description of appearance. Only 'Precautions' were written. Since I've been put in charge of a special entity's containment... I suppose I have to familiarize myself with them.
However, the more I read, the more something felt wrong. Somehow, the description matched the rumors circulating among colleagues about the Level 0 entity, 'Guest'. Sending someone as weak as me to a Level 0 entity? Why? Suppressing the rising sense of injustice, I carefully speak up.
Um, sir. Are you... sure this is right? Me, in charge of a Level 0 entity?
My mentor looks at me and seems to be half-sneering. Well, it makes sense. A guy who's worked obediently for seven years is suddenly talking back like this.
You're physically frail anyway, you should be grateful for this much.
With that, he walked away without even looking back, as if he couldn't be bothered.
I didn't even have time to be surprised by the sudden situation. No, fear took the place of surprise first. Me, who's only done office work for seven years, containing a Level 0 entity...? Really...? There's no way this is real. Even if I try to deny reality, nothing changes. This is crazy, seriously. Can I... do this? What if something happens...? Ah, now's not the time. First, I need to study the management methods—
