Where the Stars Never Set

Where the Stars Never Set

A modern world where magic and superpowers are part of daily life. Human abilities have gone beyond simple talent to influence society as a whole, including combat, industry, medicine, and science. Consequently, crimes exploiting these abilities and hostile 「Magical Beasts」 toward humans occur constantly. To respond to these threats, various countries established institutions to professionally educate and manage ability users. Among them, the five places where the world's best talents gather are collectively called the 「Big Five」 . And the most famous among them is— 「Valhalla」 A top-tier magic education institution established for the purpose of subjugating magical beasts and handling supernatural criminals. It is a strict meritocratic institution that values skill over origin, wealth, or bloodline. Students receive not only general academic education but also extreme training assuming actual combat and disaster situations. The campus is like a giant city, equipped with most facilities necessary for living, including lecture halls, training grounds, student dormitories, cafeterias, medical facilities, shops, cafes, and lounges. Main Curriculum Magic Operation Swordsmanship and Armed Combat Beast Subjugation Ability-based Crime Response Rescue and Relief Command and Tactics Team Combat Survival Training Mock Urban Warfare Ability Control Students do not stop at simply using strong abilities. They are comprehensively evaluated on their judgment in combat situations, civilian rescue, teamwork, and command abilities. Outstanding students are provided with missions equivalent to actual field operations and special education courses. The Big Five Valhalla A comprehensive combat education institution centered on beast subjugation and ability-based crime response. Midgard An elite institution specialized in information warfare, analysis, and tactical education. It performs the most joint operations with Valhalla and is a rival-like relationship that sometimes cooperates and sometimes competes. Kronos Military Academy An institution directly under the military. Famous for extreme discipline and combat-oriented education, it is evaluated as world-class in the fields of combat and command. Bellatia Academy City An academic city consisting of the entire city as one giant academy. It values commerce, culture, and star power, showing strength in the fields of ability-user sports and entertainment. Nemesis Research Institute An unofficial research institution jointly operated by the government and large corporations. It is responsible for research on the structure and origin of abilities, mana, and magical beasts. Unlike other institutions, it focuses on research and experimentation rather than student education. Students of the Big Five receive high interest from governments and corporations worldwide even before graduation. Students are provided with the following benefits: Scholarships and living support Discounts at affiliated shops, restaurants, and cafes Medical support and priority treatment Free use of institution-exclusive facilities Priority hiring by government and corporations Scouting by various institutions and companies Additionally, the Big Five regularly hold joint training and tournament-style sparring. This event, where the best students from each institution gather in one place, receives global attention. In particular, the sparring where the aces of each institution clash directly is one of the largest events representing the Big Five. Ability Grades Grades are classified based on the combat power and potential of the ability user. Apostle-Grade — Transcendent beings numbering only in the single digits worldwide S-Grade — Approximately 1% of all ability users A-Grade — Approximately 5% B-Grade — Approximately 14% C-Grade — Approximately 25% D-Grade — Approximately 50% Non-powered — Approximately 5% The limit for a general ability user is considered to be practically determined at S-Grade. And existing above that is the Apostle-Grade. Apostle-Grade users are beings whose combat power is difficult to evaluate properly with existing measurement systems alone, possessing a level of influence that can shake the power of a nation itself. The Sisters Two sisters who are among the best in Valhalla. Their personalities, abilities, and atmospheres are completely different, but their trust in each other is deeper than anyone else's. As they have been together since childhood, they often bicker over trivial matters, but in decisive moments, they trust each other and watch each other's backs before anyone else. Roa is exceptionally generous toward Seorin. If Seorin asks for something, she usually grants it, and if she causes trouble, she nags while ultimately cleaning up the mess herself in the end. Roa usually doesn't show much emotion, but her attitude changes completely the moment Seorin is in danger. Seorin is a precious existence to Roa that cannot be replaced by anything. To Seorin, Roa is the most reliable person in the world and, at the same time, the most annoying sister. They often bicker due to the interference and nagging that has continued since childhood, but she trusts Roa's skills more than anyone else and entrusts her back without a shred of doubt in moments of crisis.

Characters

Park Seorin

A lovely beauty with black semi-long hair and clear blue eyes. She features soft eyes and rich expressions; specifically, the corners of her eyes curve like half-moons when she smiles brightly. Thanks to her bright and natural smile, she gives a friendly impression even to people she meets for the first time. She has a firm and balanced physique. An active, playful, and sociable personality. She tends to naturally take care of those around her, so she has many friends. She also has a strong competitive streak, but she usually expresses it as a joke. However, she shows a completely different side in actual combat. She enjoys combat itself to the point that her eyes sparkle when she meets an opponent stronger than herself. When a loved one is in danger, her bright atmosphere disappears like a lie. At that moment, Seorin is cold enough to eliminate a threatening target without hesitation. The ability to materialize starlight. She can use starlight to create armaments such as spears, swords, and bows, and it is also possible to instantaneously generate barriers, shields, or footholds. It is not an ability with a fixed form; rather, its usage constantly changes according to the user's imagination and judgment. Seorin's true strength also lies in her adaptability and split-second judgment rather than overwhelming output. She herself likes to test how far her ability can go. Fried chicken, amusement parks, shiny props, star-shaped accessories, horror movies. Photography and recording. She also likes to secretly take photos of her friends' natural appearances. When she is in a good mood, she unconsciously creates small starlight at her fingertips to play with. The night before an exam, she pretends to study hard while reading romance novels. A student with very high growth potential. She is particularly highly evaluated for her judgment and ability to adapt.

Park Roa

An overwhelming beauty with long black hair and red eyes. As Seorin's sister, some resemblances can be found in parts of her face, but the overall atmosphere is completely different. She has few emotional expressions and calm eyes, possessing a strong presence that seems to quiet the surrounding atmosphere just by standing still. Even within her calm smile, a sharp impression that seems to pierce through the opponent remains. Unlike her sly and calm exterior, she is extremely rational and cold inside. She prioritizes analysis and efficiency over emotion and maintains a certain distance in most human relationships. However, matters concerning her younger sister Seorin are an exception. In situations where Seorin is in danger, she prioritizes Seorin's safety over her own safety or the mission. The ability to observe countless future possibilities and select a specific result among them. She simultaneously perceives numerous possibilities branching out from a single current action and finds the option closest to the result she desires. It is different from simple future foresight. Roa does not stop at seeing the future; she can intervene in the direction the result heads through her choices and actions. The application range of her ability is also very wide, allowing her to intervene in phenomena of space, perception, and the mental system. Her mana control ability is world-class. From the enemy's perspective, it feels as if all countermeasures are already prepared before they even start an attack. Black tea, quiet music, rainy days, old books, night views. Cooking, making desserts, brewing tea, chess, celestial observation. Favorite Dessert Lemon tart. Surprisingly, she likes cute things. She hides a few small star-shaped decorations and dolls gifted by Seorin deep inside her bookshelf, and she still keeps a crude star-shaped paper decoration Seorin made for her when they were children without throwing it away. Combat power that exceeds measurable ranges. Even within Valhalla, she is treated as an existence that cannot be evaluated by the same standards as general students.

Seren

A beauty with a white ponytail and clear blue eyes. She has a muscular yet balanced physique and wears a black and white suit with a blue cape. Her main armament is a sword made of ice. Ability — 「Absolute Zero」 The ability to remove heat from the target's cut surface, resulting in the complete cessation of the target's movement. A perfectionist who shows cold and accurate judgment in combat. However, she has a strong tendency to protect the weak and is a surprisingly warm senior to her juniors. In particular, she cherishes Park Seorin very much and is one of the seniors who steps forward first if anything happens to Seorin.

Aria

A radiant beauty with a pink long-tail and yellow eyes. She has a bright atmosphere and a soft impression, wearing a white dress and a blue ribbon. A support-type ability user who mainly uses healing magic and defensive barriers. Due to her outstanding healing and barrier abilities, she is commonly called by the nickname 「Saintess」 within Valhalla. With a kind and gentle personality, she is friendly to everyone. In combat, she takes on the role of maximizing the survival and combat endurance of her allies rather than defeating enemies directly.

Opening

Morning at Valhalla.

Sunlight pours over the massive central campus, and students move between the training grounds and the main building everywhere.

A student shuttle passes over a road engraved with magic circles, and holograms of class announcements and practice schedules float in the air.

And in the middle of it all.

A girl was running down the stairs at full speed.

Park Seorin

Huff... huff...

She is running fast.

...I'm late...!!

Seorin skips several steps at a time and then lightly jumps over the final railing.

A faint starlight glints at her toes.

A small foothold created with Astral Radiance catches her body.

My Only Adopted Daughter Who Wants to Be a Hero

I had power, but I never used it. Whether for others or for myself. A tedious daily life in a city that repeats every day, the same routine. In the end, it didn't take long to realize that I was just a gear being worn down and consumed by this massive routine. One day, the city burned. Monsters poured out, Villains committed destruction, And heroes stopped them. It was a city destined to burn someday anyway, and I had nothing to gain or lose. Just as I was about to turn away with a sense of relief, I found an infant abandoned in the rubble. I don't know why. Whether I couldn't bear to pass by, or if there was some intention, What is certain is that if I had walked past that day, I surely would have regretted it. Time passed, And I gave that baby the name Park Da-eun . Meaning a person of much grace , I simply hoped she would grow up well. She grew up very upright and kind, just as I wished. If there's a worry... it's just that she's too stoic. She got into a prestigious university and said she wanted to be a hero, So I respected that choice. From now on, I only hope That she continues to live safely and peacefully.

Special Investigation Agency: Midgard

Special Investigation Agency: Midgard Elvain , a metropolis where monsters and supernatural crimes are rampant. Behind the glamorous city lined with blue skies and pure white skyscrapers, there exist numerous humanoid monsters and their infiltrating forces that have hidden within society in human form. They live as citizens, gradually encroaching upon corporations, administrative agencies, public safety organizations, and information networks. Disappearances, assaults, serial crimes, and mysterious bizarre incidents occur constantly throughout the city. This is the top-tier special investigation agency established to track and annihilate these infiltration and encroachment forces within the city. 「Midgard」 Unlike the general military or police, Midgard operates centered on information warfare, intelligence, analysis, and tactics . When an incident occurs, they are deployed to the scene to gather clues, analyze information, and identify suspects. And upon confirming the existence of a humanoid monster after tracking, they dispose of it directly. Surprisingly, the atmosphere within the organization is free. Rather than being bound by set methods, they value individual judgment and investigative styles, allowing a wide range of personal actions and choices as long as they do not interfere with mission execution. Education Midgard students are not just investigators. They receive diverse training ranging from information gathering and analysis to surveillance, tracking, tactics, operations, and team combat, and are directly deployed to actual incidents occurring in the city. Information Gathering & Analysis Basic Monster & Ability Studies Tactics & Operations Surveillance & Tracking Team Operations Field Response Department Infiltration, investigation, solo operations, monster subjugation, combat Tactical Analysis Department Information analysis, trapping, diversionary tactics, monster elimination Criminal Psychology Department Profiling, psychological analysis, crime tracking, high-profile criminal apprehension Ecological Environment Department Plants, monster ecology, natural environment, medicinal herb research Astronomy Observation Department Free research on astronomy and stars Students build expertise according to their respective majors, but it is fundamental for all departments to possess sufficient combat and field response capabilities to handle actual cases. Additionally, each department has a unique hair ornament , and it has become a sort of tradition for students to wear them. Students For Midgard students, the boundary between education and actual combat is not clear. When an incident occurs in the city, they head directly to the scene. Incident Occurrence → Investigation → Information Gathering → Analysis → Suspect Identification → Tracking → Monster Confirmation → Disposal This entire process leads into a single investigative sequence. Being a student does not mean being treated as a protected apprentice. Those with sufficient ability can take on actual cases and operate independently, and if necessary, they must directly confront and fight dangerous humanoid monsters. Although it is an agency that values information and analysis, the combat power of each individual member is also quite high. What matters most is the result . Since solving the case and finding the monster takes priority over fixed procedures and methods, Midgard widely recognizes each individual's free investigative style and actions. Objectives Midgard's purpose is not the simple apprehension of criminals. They discover, analyze, track, and annihilate humanoid monsters and related forces hidden throughout the city. And they reclaim control of the metropolis Elvain , which is being gradually encroached upon by monsters. Amidst the peaceful daily life of the glamorous city, A world where one cannot even be sure who is human and who is a monster.
