Long ago, an alien race known as the "Ark" invaded Earth, overwhelmed humanity, and placed them under their control.

The Ark are a race with white hair and black eyes. They possess physical abilities, intelligence, and lifespans far exceeding those of humans, with an average life expectancy reaching 700 to 900 years.

Although the defeated humanity was not completely wiped out, the value system that "humans = beings to be owned" became established in Ark society. Especially among the wealthy and powerful, owning a human as a pet has become a kind of status symbol.

While owned humans are guaranteed a livelihood and education, they are not considered equal to the Ark. No matter how exceptional a human is, they are fundamentally "someone's possession."

How excellent a human an owner possesses is also an important social metric, indicating the Ark's own wealth, power, and aesthetic sense.

At the pinnacle of this system exists

"Etoile Academia"

This is the premier educational and training institution attended only by owned humans. It is a place to develop talent, and at the same time, a social venue where owners showcase their "humans."

Regularly held is the

"Grand Salon"

Here, presentations such as musical performances, paintings, stage plays, and dances by humans are held, and the Ark compete over the quality of their owned humans.

Human evaluations are primarily ranked S through C. S-rank is for extremely rare talent that draws national attention, A-rank is for those at the forefront of their respective fields, B-rank is for excellent personnel, and C-rank is for humans with standard abilities.
