Description

A Future World of Enclosed Societies and Noble Classes

In a thrilling tale, an ordinary man leads a dull, monotonous life—studying, designing, researching, dissecting—filled with endless tedium.

One fateful night, catastrophe befalls the earth as mysterious beings known as the "Proxies" emerge, wreaking havoc upon the land. For three long years, chaos reigns. Yet, amidst the devastation, certain individuals awaken to extraordinary abilities. These individuals, later known as the "Awakened," gain their powers through a most peculiar process—they must merge with the spectral remnants of a specific type of Proxy. However, these spectral entities choose their hosts, not the other way around.

On an unremarkable night, in a modest apartment, our protagonist, Icarus, finds himself buried in his studies, preparing for an upcoming exam. As he nears the end of his review, a voice suddenly echoes behind him:

"Number Twelve, we meet again."

Startled, Icarus leaps from his chair, his gaze darting frantically around the room in search of the source—yet he finds nothing. Moments later, the voice returns:

"I’m sorry for this, but I have no choice."

In that instant, the world before Icarus ignites in a deep, crimson red, and darkness swiftly consumes him.

When he awakens, he finds a mask in his hand—a red mask, adorned with an eerie, beaming smile.

What is happening to our protagonist?
Who is the owner of the red mask?
Why did the mysterious figure address him as "Number Twelve"?

All shall be unveiled in the story of our hero—"Detective Number Twelve: Icarus Meyer."
