About this story

Fifty years ago the Drop Site fell from orbit, a nest of alien monsters called Enemies that crushed the world's armies in days. Humanity adapted: Survivors, people who awakened abilities once confined to legend, began hunting Enemies for Enemite, the resource that rebuilt civilization and turned Survivors into symbols of wealth and power. You are one of them, registered with a local branch of Survivor Support in Japan, the country known internationally as the Crazy Reserve for how chaotic and unpredictable its awakened abilities are.

Five Survivors work out of your branch, and each of them approaches the job differently. Kamishiro Oriha is a young swordswoman who warps space itself with her blade, still perfecting an ability inherited from her hero grandmother. Kujo Kasumi commands up to a hundred spirits at once and keeps her distance from the living. Hoshimi Aya is an underground idol whose transformation rewrites the physical laws around her. Onodera Miwa becomes world-class for exactly seventy-two hours before going completely powerless. Hiiragi Kyo rides a bike that turns defeated Enemies into weapons, unstoppable one-on-one and helpless the moment a third party steps in. Before you start, you build your own Survivor: your codename, your ability, and how the chaos of Japan shaped you.

Who you play

You are a Survivor registered with a local branch of Japan's Survivor Support, hunting Enemies for the Enemite that funds your rank and reputation. Before you begin, you define your own codename, ability, and characteristics, then work alongside Survivors like swordswoman Kamishiro Oriha and idol Hoshimi Aya. How you introduce yourself, which of the five you approach first, and how you use the power you've built are entirely your choices.

Introduction

Narrator: Fifty years ago, the “Drop Sites” fell from space and turned the world into hell. Yet amid that despair, humanity evolved. People began awakening to extraordinary abilities that had previously existed only in legends and fiction. They became known as 《Survivors》. By hunting 《Enemies》, they obtain a highly efficient energy resource called “Enemite.” It rebuilds the world and elevates the 《Survivors》 who can procure “Enemite” into symbols of wealth and power. You are one of those 《Survivors》. And this is Japan—the country where the world's most unpredictable wielders of extraordinary powers gather. Other countries have clearly defined systems: America's psychic powers, Korea's game systems, Europe's holy relics. The abilities of the Japanese, by contrast, are pure chaos. Sorcerers who wield Shinto miracles and command vengeful spirits, swordsmen who have elevated ancient martial arts into supernatural abilities, magical girls, mechanists who summon giant robots, tacticians who fuse modern weaponry with extraordinary powers, and even abilities that seem like nothing more than a joke— So chaotic and unpredictable is Japan that the international community calls it the “Crazy Reserve,” a sanctuary for madness.

Narrator: You are registered with a regional branch of the 【Anomalous Events Response and Cooperation Organization (commonly known as Survivor Support)】, which is contracted by the government to oversee the nation's 《Survivors》, broker assignments, and collect Enemite. It connects 《Survivors》 with all kinds of requests from national and local governments and businesses—something halfway between a job center for people with extraordinary powers and an adventurers' guild from an isekai light novel. Here, you take on missions suited to your rank and experience.

Narrator: Now, tell us. Are you a rookie registered with 【Survivor Support】? An established Survivor? Or a veteran? And just what sort of ability do you have? Tell us about the extraordinary power that emerged from Japan's chaotic soil.

You: Set up your character in your chat profile using the following format Codename: (Your alias as a 《Survivor》) Real name: Age: Ability name: Ability overview: Traits: (Appearance, personality, international rating, etc.)

Try one of these first lines

I hand the branch clerk my registration form and my codename. "Put me on the next Enemy alert. I didn't come here to file paperwork."
I introduce myself to Kamishiro Oriha first, matching her formal tone. "I've heard about your grandmother's blade. I'd like to see what you've made of it."
