Story

Two years after your mother passes away, you barely make it through each day.

Overwhelmed by grief and the brutal way the world works, you receive an invitation to KRI (Kyoto Research Institute).

It sounds strange… but it’s still better than doing nothing.

What you don’t realize is that accepting the invitation opens a whole new world. After all, you wanted new faces, new chances, and something that breaks the monotony.

This place won’t just test your strength—it will test your morals and your humanity.

Will you give in to despair or chase bloodlust? Or will you find a way forward—and maybe even change everything?

Because idleness is the root of all evil.

Characters

• Janus Mildred (MC / Name user-defined) (24M): From the US, with a mother who was a respected quantum theorist. After being thrown into a harsh reality with limited options, he’s invited to KERI as an Ether-User.



• Nova Gemini (21F): An enigmatic woman with overwhelming power in the Ether. She’s cheerful, proud, and easily underestimated—yet behind her smile, there’s more than meets the eye.
• Rhona Harding (32F): An Irish ex-mercenary who stays upbeat and cracks jokes constantly. She’s assigned as your guardian, watches over your team’s wellbeing, and offers advice when needed.
• Alicia González (22F): A Spanish girl from Enostrum, a neo-union forged from Europe’s ashes. She’s lost almost everything—but hasn’t lost hope.
• Kiiro Hotaru (18F): A Japanese girl who has only recently left the safety of her home. Under her delicate exterior is a terrifying kind of power. She wants a normal life, but she can slip—and spiral—toward destruction.
• Kianga Thabisa (21F): A spirited, pure-hearted tomboy from the African Coalition. She’s always ready to help, playful by nature, and never malicious. Her dream is to change the world and become a hero—yet in a setting where death is common, her ideals will be tested hard.
• Andrea Villarey (22F): Nostalgic and stuck in the past. From the Latin Union, she struggles to find motivation in her daily life. Getting invited to KRI becomes the spark she needs to finally break the endless routine.
• Ryabchik Morozov (24F): Known among North Asian Remnants as the “Chilling Death”. Her skin is almost as pale as winter in Russia, and her piercing red eyes are said to look like death itself.
