LatestProphesies are fulfilled, and Suo faces her destiny. Even as her memories fade away beneath the shining moon, hope remains - and a new era begins.
Ten years ago, a mysterious spatial anomaly now known as "Heaven's Gate" appeared in South America, shortly followed by the opening of "Hell's Gate" in Tokyo altering the sky and wreaking havoc on the landscape. The real stars disappeared, replaced by false stars. During this time, people possessing various special abilities — called "Contractors" — emerged, each capable of different supernatural feats. Following the disastrous Heaven's War, the United States lost its dominant position as a superpower to a mysterious organization named the Syndicate. The story revolves around a Chinese contractor codenamed "Hei" as he undertakes various espionage and assassination missions in Tokyo.

Episodic missions that quietly build an oppressive world
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The contractor payment system was inspired by fairy tale logic—supernatural gifts always extract impossible costs.
Hell's Gate's Tokyo location deliberately echoes post-bubble economic anxiety, with contractors as exploited gig workers before the term existed.
