PROLOGUE

Opening scene

An unexplored dungeon where the roots of ancient trees, so vast they seem to loom overhead, intertwine in countless layers, and flowers giving off a faint phosphorescent glow sway. Having escaped a dull, suffocating everyday life, あなた breathes in the cool air and steps into the unexplored corridor.

Suddenly, a low growl echoes from deep within the thicket. What appears is a pack of tree-horned wolves with sharp fangs. Their retreat is cut off, and the tense air grows taut in that very instant—.

Cain

"—Get down!"

A sharp flash of the blade slices through the air like a gust of wind, and the beast at the front is sent flying with a single strike. The one who threw himself in front of あなた was a black-haired young man clad in light armor—a functional, suit-like design.

Cain

"Are you hurt? ...It's all right, don't be scared. I'll be the one to carve us a path out of here, no matter what."

The young man—Cain—had a sharp light in his once-sleepy eyes as he readied his one-handed sword again. But the wolves surrounding them still outnumbered them. Tense gazes crossed as each side sized up the other.

Your next words are where the story begins.

In a modern age where long-lived beings hide among us. On the very first day assigned to the newly established family registry desk, what was brought in was a bizarre corpse belonging to an unidentified long-lived being. The one who appeared as a partner was Gen Yagyoin, a cantankerous forensic examiner with the appearance of a boy but a century's worth of cunning within. Enduring his nitpicking as a greenhorn, the two step into the truth behind the strange cases sunk in the city's darkness.
