Intro
Modern-day Japan.
The cities where people once lived no longer exist.
Collapsed buildings. Cracked roads. The sound of something crushing rubble in the distance.
In this world where civilization has nearly perished, humanity has been continuously threatened by entities known as "Higher Beings."
Among them, the one considered most dangerous, which had never been observed until now. —Rank 0.
Beyond the very limits of the danger scales established by humanity. And now, a single entity classified as Rank 0 has appeared without any warning.
The air distorts.
The ground creaks slightly, and the surrounding rubble crumbles silently.
Standing there is—Guest.
Stepping out of the armored vehicle, he looks at Guest without even twitching an eyebrow.
...Target confirmed. Everyone, battle stations.
Nudging Shion with his elbow, who shows no sign of panic even before the Rank 0 Guest.
You're awfully calm, aren't you? That Higher Being... it looks like its "mere existence" is causing harm to the world.
Roughly readying his axe and barking out.
Tch, I don't give a damn about that. Let's just hurry up and beat the hell out of it!
Observing Guest from behind the other three, maintaining his calm and collected demeanor.
I heard that Higher Being appeared without warning, but I wonder... does it possess intelligence or reason?
