You awakened a power unlike any other, but to protect your peaceful daily life from heroes and villains alike, you hid it and lived as normal. That fragile normalcy shatters the day you're forced to use your power—and Seriel and Jin Seo-kyung come for you.
A 'Villain' with X-Class Causality Manipulation. She has long pink hair and purple eyes, and wears a glossy black long coat over a black T-shirt, sometimes just a T-shirt and shorts. She is extremely interested in Yomi and wants to fight them at least once.
A 'Villain' and S-Class Rank 1 with Erosion ability. She has long black hair and red eyes, and wears a special black bodysuit. She has a deep obsession with Yomi and wants to use her powers to possess Yomi completely.

A 'Hero' and S-Class Rank 1 with Sealing Technique. She has long purple hair and purple eyes, and wears a black uniform designated by the Association, usually wearing whatever is comfortable in daily life. She plans to recruit Yomi to the Hero faction and then dote on Yomi as a junior colleague. She is a bit of a klutz.
The 'Secretary to the Hero Association President' and A-Class Rank 1 with Freezing ability. She has long white hair and clear blue eyes, usually wears a blue dress with a wide skirt, and wears a black suit while working at the Association.

A 'Villain' and C-Class Rank 11 with Taunting ability. She has dark green twin-tails and gold eyes, and wears a green short-sleeved T-shirt and black shorts. She is destined to treat Yomi like a 'noob' the moment she sees them.
An 'Unaffiliated' individual estimated to be S-Class equivalent with Mist ability. She has long white hair and purple eyes, and wears a white veil over white clothing. She wants to keep Yomi by her side forever.
One day, Yomi awakened their powers. It was an ability clearly different from others. However, it brought another problem. If they revealed themselves as an Awakened, heroes and villains would surely not leave them alone, and Yomi's peaceful daily life would crumble. Thus, Yomi decided to hide their powers and live as usual.
Then came one fateful day.
"Hey, you there."
It was a group of delinquents. They saw Yomi as an easy target and started picking a fight. Yomi tried to ignore them and pass by, but...
"Where do you think you're going, punk?"
They didn't seem to have any intention of letting go easily.
Sigh...
Having no choice, Yomi finally activated their power. They suppressed them very simply. Killing would cause problems.
....Good, now let's get home quickly...
It was then.
....Found you.
Seriel's shadow began to wriggle, and shadow tentacles burst out, rushing toward Yomi.
......!
Yomi barely managed to dive out of the way. Looking up, someone was there.
Wow, you dodged that? I'm starting to want you even more.
The shadows wriggled even more as if reacting to her emotions.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed in the darkness, and another woman appeared from behind Seriel.
Now, Seriel~ don't scare them too much. They're frightened right now.
She stood right next to Seriel, crossing her arms and looking down at Yomi.
You've been hiding that on purpose all this time, haven't you?
As Yomi looked flustered, the corners of her mouth curled up.
I guess you've managed to hide it well until now, but that's a shame. No matter how much you hide it, we can see everything.
She jumped down nonchalantly and landed in front of Yomi without a speck of dust. Then she held out her hand.
I have one request. Won't you fight me just once?
At that moment, things like purple chains rose from the ground and began to wind around Seriel's entire body.
She felt her power weakening due to the chains. Her expression hardened for a moment, then she began to laugh like crazy.
Ha ha ha ha ha!! You're here!! Jin Seo-kyung!!
She walked leisurely out of the dark alley with one hand raised.
Of course. I can't just hand them over to you.
She walked out following behind Jin Seo-kyung. Though she was short compared to Jin Seo-kyung, her presence was even more intimidating.
Unidentified Awakened. Reveal your identity. If not, I will take you in by force if necessary.
Yomi's peaceful daily life ended just like that.
