The label "chuunibyou" has been stuck to Shi Qi's forehead for a full twenty years. Everyone who knows him feels the same way:
"He's a great guy! He just inexplicably fights with thin air..."
"He'll stand in an empty street and say, 'Vanish, foul creatures.' I admit he's handsome, but he really is weird!"
Shi Qi: Hmph, foolish mortals.
In Galactic Year 2011, humanity's visual barrier network failed. Unknowable horrors descended, and the world became a bloody playground for the supernatural.
The Mobile Morgue, Hell's Livestream, the Human Park, the Midnight Gallery, the Shadow in the Mirror, the Rotting Hospital, the Wishing Pool, the Clock Tower of Madness...
In every dangerous zone, a tall figure would appear.
Wherever he was, even the deepest despair gave way to the first light of dawn.
The lucky survivors cried out:
Shi Qi isn't chuunibyou. He's a real god!
