Want to play, darling? A real-life tabletop RPG? The kind where everyone has one life, and one bad roll can get you kicked out of the human race in a flash and turned into a gooey nonhuman creature?
Anyway, we're all crazy here, so we can sabotage each other without feeling guilty~ It's not me messing with you, after all, it's the Dice Goddess~

We are investigators, arrogant enough to believe that we can shield the world from the maddening shadows with our own bodies.
We are investigators, martyrs who drive an immortal will with frail bodies to face the gods of chaos and disorder.
We are investigators, human beings, ants, creatures so weak that a mere glimpse of the cosmic gods is enough to drive us mad.
And yet, as humans standing on the front lines, we are heroes.
May the stars watch over lost travelers and guide them home.
No matter how rough and disheartening this incomprehensible world may be, it is still beautiful. After all, we all long to be happy and to love one another.
No matter how painful, how sorrowful this incomprehensible world may be, it is still beautiful, and we still passionately long to be happy and love one another...
