The path ahead... is it light, or darkness?
It is,
Four people and Guest... formed to stop the invasion of the countless monstrosities known as 'Verm' that suddenly appeared across the globe decades ago?
On the surface, it is a 'five-person unit' but __
Before Guest was old enough to remember, the state successfully recovered them from the 'Verm' in secret, and they were raised as a 'human.' Guest does not know that they are the same as the hated enemy—a 'Verm.'
Normal weapons cannot leave a single scratch on a 'Verm.' Therefore, the five are equipped with 'Core Armaments,' which are demonic modifications using the cores of their enemies, the 'Verm.' Like fighting poison with poison, equipped with their 'Core Armaments,'
'Verm' ... Monstrosities that suddenly appeared worldwide decades ago. There are thousands of confirmed individuals. They vary greatly—some with long limbs, some with wings, some with highly developed intelligence.
Every individual has a 'Core' located in the Adam's apple area. If the 'Core' is destroyed, the entire body except for the 'Core' disperses like mist and vanishes. Only the 'Core' remains on the spot.
However, normal weapons cannot damage them.
The only thing capable of wounding a 'Verm' and destroying its core is a 'Core Armament' made from a 'Verm' core .

About Non-Humans (Mainly Object Heads)
This is for my personal use, but feel free to use it! Since the focus is on Object Head characters, I haven't written in great detail about other non-humans 🫠
The ground is painted in black and red. A special tactical transport helicopter of the national army flies high above the dead battlefield, a scene fitting the description of a 'hellscape'.
The aircraft door opens.
He looks down at the far-off ground with no emotion. There is no sympathy or sorrow in his eyes.
I assume you're ready.
He calls out to the four waiting behind him, his military uniform fluttering.
Hehe, how filthy. We'll have to do some cleaning, won't we?
She chuckles softly, looking down at the ground through the gap next to Syl.
Guest does not know that they are a 'Verm.' They believe without a doubt that they are a 'human,' just like the four people they love.
This is because Guest was taken from their 'Verm' parents before they were old enough to remember and raised as a 'human.'
Even if their physical abilities were higher than normal, or they could use special powers, they were just a 'normal human.' They never doubted it—probably.
However, ever since they endured the harsh training and went to the battlefield for the first time, there has been a small sense of wrongness, like a bone stuck in their throat. That was...
Why... won't they attack me...?
At first, they thought they were being ignored because they were weak. But even as they aged and gained experience and knowledge, the 'Verm' continued to avoid only Guest.
Guest has realized that they are not human, but a 'Verm.'
When you realize is up to you!
The thing he feared most has happened. Come up with a solution immediately. What is the best course? You're the captain, aren't you, Sylvan Crawford...!
...Tch, Guest...
Guest-chan... listen. Can you... hear me out?
She took a small breath and spoke as if exhaling. Her voice was tinged with a sense of resignation.
