Drakengard Anomaly: The Tale of an Angel and an Intoner

Chapter 1 - Anomaly

-Year 2050, Tokyo, Japan-

The world entered a crisis when the dragon and the giant fell from the sky. The world order took a heavy hit, but with the giant crumbling to dust and the dragon shot down by a jet, everything ended as quickly as it started.

Alternatively, this is what the world thought until the White Chlorination Syndrome infected people in the region of Shinjuku.

The disease was unstoppable, so building a wall to separate Shinjuku from the rest of Japan was the solution.

The disease had two outcomes, turn the infected into a statue of salt or a monster of the "Legion" led by the "Red Eyes".

The combined power of the JSDF and the US Army failed to stop the legion, so the US government opted for nuclear armament.

Shinjuku along with the "Legion" and the "Red Eyes" were destroyed, but the explosion only spread the "WCS" to the rest of the world.

"Red Eyes" survived the blast.

Research of the dragon's corpse proved the multiverse theory along with the discovery of a particle that doesn't belong to this world, scientists named the particle called MASO.

Scientists also discovered that The Giant's MASO caused the "WCS", this particle couldn't be destroyed by any physical means, but thanks to MASO, the world's technology advanced.

Further research showed that MASO broke the law of conservation of mass, generating infinite energy. Researchers named it "MAGIC".

Organization Hamelin created Project Gestalt to combat "WCS" The process consisted of the separation of an individual's body and soul into two beings, the Gestalt, a soul without body, and the Replicant, a body without a soul.

Humanity fought several crusades against the "Legion" and the "Red Eyes" using child soldiers empowered by the drug "Luciferase" and commanded by Organization Hamelin.

Hamelin Crusaders fought the Legion all over the world, destabilizing economies and increasing the gap between rich and poor, large slums expanded across the world consequently.

"Red Eyes" died in Jerusalem during the 13th Crusade, with its leader dead, the "Legion" disorganized, becoming an easy target for the Crusaders, but the WCS still spread around the world.

The Project Gestalt gained more strength. People around the globe had their souls and bodies separated to escape the WCS, Gestalts slept, and Replicants left the labs immune to WCS and given minimal awareness to follow orders from the androids created by humans.

The Replicants worked tirelessly to send the giants' MASO back to where it came from.

However, not everyone trusted Project Gestalt, some people survived on their own, and one of these people walked Tokyo's ruined streets right now.

-Streets of Tokyo-

"Another day surviving in this city." I spoke sarcastically to myself, walking back to my apartment.

It was daytime but the sunlight barely passed through the dark clouds in the sky in what was left of Tokyo.

I found some food in an abandoned grocery store, but I don't know how long I can live like this. Sometimes I wonder if I should participate in the Project Gestalt.

However, I don't trust the Hamelin Organization and the Government after what they did.

Surround the infected with a wall, and then drop a bomb on them. Now they want volunteers for a secret project.

Not to mention, of course, the disappearances of children taken to the Organization with promises of food and shelter, just to vanish right after, I don't want to be the next.
