[No dragon or phoenix-like heroine] [Female protagonist, but written in the male-oriented genre] [A touch of Lovecraftian horror] [Lots of foreshadowing. Comments welcome!]
Fifteen years ago, someone left a baby and a letter at the entrance to an orphanage. Inside the letter were a feather, an astonishingly large check, and the words, "Please take good care of her." Fifteen years later, the girl carrying the feather was accepted into "Spirit Eye," an organization responsible for connecting "Imaginary Entities of the Supernatural" with humanity. There, she found a team of oddballs to be her companions: a dual-sword girl who says one thing but means another, and handles chains better than she handles words; a Wind Swordsman who is always smiling, with a blade quicker than his tongue; an elegant noble young lady who wields a greatsword; and a genius boy who insists that "technology is what makes you powerful."
Her wish is simple: to find the person who saved her, find her parents, and figure out why it had to be her. But this world clearly has no intention of letting her be. There is Mana on an unimaginably vast scale, Red Thunder sealed away in the Class A archives, and a madwoman connected to her mind... As the young men and women take up their swords and head for the battlefield, they have no idea that every victory they win is being played out on someone else's chessboard. But never mind, that's a story for later.
First, just survive the rookie test.
