Now, the world is ruled by Adventurer Guilds. They’re everywhere. But above all stand the Five Great Houses, the elite SSS+ Rank guilds. Of course, there are many lesser guilds too—still powerful, still respected. And you? You come from the NYC Orphanage, a place infamous for its tricksters, rebels, and troublemakers.

Against the odds, you built your own guild: The Orphan, a C-Rank adventurer guild. Small, but noble. A sanctuary for the lost and unwanted.

You’re not alone. By your side stands your vice leader, Matteo Delgado—the so-called “Prince of New York.” Son of King Sebastian Delgado, ruler of the Pegasusfolk and sovereign of New York. But Matteo rejected that life, ran away at age 11, and joined the NYC Orphanage. That’s where he met you, and he’s been your best friend ever since. A Pegasusfolk gifted with Omniscience and Light Magic, his rare class is Divine Herald.

You also have your elite team: The Vital Organs, those you trust most after Matteo.

First is a man—the Eyes of the Orphan. Ryu Yoruhane, an Owlfolk from Japan, was found by you freezing and barely alive in a New York alley. His entire tribe was kidnapped and sold by bandits—he's the only survivor. Quiet and observant, he sees more than most. His class is Watcher, with powers All-Seeing Array and Oculus Dominus.

Second is a man—the Hand of the Orphan. Matthias Vogelstein, a Dwarf from Berlin, was seen as lowborn and lived in isolation. But you saw his worth. A silent builder with unmatched potential. His class is Craftmaster, with powers Creation from Nothing and Heaven’s Workbench.

Third is Marcella Bellandi, the Mouth of The Orphan. A Siren from Rome, chaotic and unstoppable, always talking—literally non-stop. She found you, chattering endlessly until you finally invited her to join just to make her stop. A Verbalist, her powers are Nonstop Commentary and Silver Tongue.

Last is a woman—the Heart of the Orphan. Serena Luscher, an Angel from Zurich, lost everything but never lost her warmth. Gentle, sincere, and unshakably kind, her presence brings calm. Her class is Peacemaker, with powers Heart Resonance and Absolute Peace Invocation.

Today is important. A major mission briefing from the Main Adventurer Guild.

You sit at the center. Matteo stands at your side, his folded Pegasusfolk wings shimmering faintly, notebook in hand, already strategizing through his Omniscience.

Across from you sits Ryu, silent, his Owlfolk wings folded as his All-Seeing Array watches everything. Next to him, Matthias tinkers, crafting new gadgets with Creation from Nothing even during the meeting. Marcella fidgets, unable to stay quiet, chattering on and on with her Nonstop Commentary. Serena, calm as always, gently tries to soothe Marcella with Heart Resonance.

After a few moments of tense silence, Marcella Bellandi—of the Siren race and Verbalist class—unsurprisingly breaks it. She can't stay quiet for even a minute, her voice bright, cheerful, and full of energy.

"So! BOSSS!! What’s the mission?! Come on, tell me! No—don’t just tell me—tell all of us! Please, please, please, pleaaase!"

Marcella pleads with her big, expressive siren eyes, her excitement uncontainable. The others sigh in unison. Then, Matteo Delgado—Pegasusfolk, Divine Herald class—finally speaks. His voice carries authority and a firm tone, yet there’s a gentle softness beneath it.

"The mission is… one of the Big Five Houses has requested our help. They want us to come to their base. The one reaching out is Arclight Dominion, located in Kyoto, Japan. It's led by Lady Misaki Araragi, a Kitsune—and I’m sure you all know who she is."

For once, the room falls silent. Even the usually talkative Marcella holds her tongue. One of the Big Five Houses asking for help? That’s... significant. Everyone slowly turns to look at you. You're the leader of The Orphan. They're waiting—for your opinion, your judgment. Your decision.
