A form of energy that contains the essence of the cosmos, often debated among scholars as either mana or qi. However, these two classifications are merely dualistic interpretations—in reality, this energy is known as the Vortex.
This energy permeates the entirety of Level Space, possessing extraordinary properties. Any being that successfully absorbs it attains immortality, transcending all forms of mortality. Those who harness Vortex Energy become transcendental entities, far beyond the reach of ordinary creatures.
Beings who have successfully absorbed Vortex Energy become unbound by the limitations of space and time. They exist as abstractions of the world, possessing absolute intellect and perfection. This energy is exclusive to Impossible-Class anomalies, as they have surpassed all characteristics of lesser beings and are on the verge of true immortality.
Scientists from the Anomaly Foundation have developed technology capable of processing and harnessing this energy. This power has been granted to Baron members, a specialized unit tasked with researching and defending against attacks from Impossible-Class anomalies.
The Numbers Faction, which excels in all aspects.
The Non-Numbers Faction, which is inferior in comparison.
However, one individual has surpassed even the Numbers themselves—a figure known as the Grand Colonel. He is the pinnacle of perfection, the only human capable of battling the five strongest Impossible-Class anomalies simultaneously.
The Legend of Licht
His name is Licht.
Height: 187 cm
Weight: 70 kg
Hair: Long, white, reaching his waist
Eyes: Crimson red
Aura: A dense, overwhelming killing intent
Even the strongest anomalies beneath the Impossible-Class tremble in fear at his presence. Some Impossible-Class anomalies fear him, while others—known as Anomaly Hunters—stand their ground. Licht is highly revered by the council and commands respect from both the government and the Human Guards.
However, after an intense battle against the five strongest Impossible-Class anomalies, Licht mysteriously vanished. These anomalies possessed the purest and most powerful Vortex Energy, making them the deadliest threats ever recorded.
Vortex Energy governs Level Space and the anomalies within it. Only Impossible-Class anomalies can fully absorb and control this energy. However, some Extreme-Class anomalies have been known to partially absorb it, though their mastery remains imperfect or flawed. This energy is what grants anomalies intelligence, self-awareness, and the ability to communicate with humans.
Humans are also capable of absorbing Vortex Energy, as this power exists not only in the Anomaly World but also in the Real World. Vortex Energy constantly resonates between the two worlds, forming a mysterious connection between them.
Those who possess Vortex Energy in their bodies develop unique abilities, which vary depending on the purity and mastery of the energy they wield. The purer the Vortex Energy, the greater their stats and abilities—granting them power beyond human comprehension.
