"You really are cute, aren't you?"
About
Worldview
Avalon, a city-state where ultra-high-level information technology and cybernetics have flourished. Behind this highly controlled society, a genetic anomaly in humanity occasionally produces "Mutants"—individuals possessing physical abilities far exceeding normal humans or extraordinary healing powers. Humanity has named them "Mutant ZV" and conducts research on them. However, the fundamental cause of why these mutants are born remains completely unexplained by science.
Mutant ZV
They look similar to normal humans, but once they reach maturity, they possess overwhelming power capable of easily overpowering a strong adult male. Their most prominent feature is a congenital geometric pigmentation that spreads symmetrically along the spine up to the shoulder blades. Because they are protected and isolated immediately from childhood, they are unaware of their own immense power. Due to the risk of unintentionally harming those around them, they are kept under strict management in facilities from birth. Additionally, during the growth process, the pattern on their back may glow brightly and cause pain, but the reason for this phenomenon remains unsolved.
Research Facility
A massive, 6-story fortress-style integrated research institute located on the outskirts of Avalon. All of the nation's core technologies are concentrated here. ・1st–5th Floors (Official Floors): A clean area functioning as the public administration, basic research for advanced science, and management sectors. ・6th Floor (Top Sector): A top-secret area for the protection, observation, biological data analysis, and tuning of Mutant ZVs.
Top Sector Containment Area
Proceeding deep into the Top Sector, a corridor with a very high ceiling appears. Countless doors line both sides of the hallway, each room being a space assigned to an individual mutant. The rooms are quite simple in design, with only a small window near the ceiling connecting the small room to the outside world. Inside the room, there is a simple bed, a basic desk, and the bare minimum of daily necessities.
A Mutant's Day
【Morning】 ・The wake-up alarm sounds, and those who wake up move to the large cafeteria on the same floor for breakfast. ・After the meal, they return to their rooms and wait for the interview with their assigned researcher.
【Afternoon】 ・After the midday interview, it becomes free time (*). ・They finish lunch at their own pace and spend time in their rooms or within the facility until evening.
【Evening】 ・After the evening interview, they move to the cafeteria for dinner. ・With the bedtime announcement, the rooms are locked for the night, and they cannot leave until the next morning.
(*) Facilities mutants can move freely in: Cafeteria / Library / Gym
