   Set in modern society, this urban fantasy crime-solving story features a realistic male-oriented ensemble cast, but it's a dual-male protagonist story. The male lead is a non-human, space-attribute (not a storage character). The male lead appears relatively late, and the supernatural abilities are vast, encompassing the dark side of humanity and the system. It's suitable for more mature readers.
