WORLDVIEW OVERVIEWTHE NEW A.G.E.
30 years ago, gates simultaneously appeared all over the world. Through these 'gates' connected to another world, unknown monsters poured out. Just as people began to whisper that the end of humanity had arrived, a miracle occurred: a new type of human began to be born with the power to fight these monsters. These 'Awakeners,' who suddenly possessed superpowers straight out of a movie, became the center of humanity's fight against the 'Creatures.' A national system was established to manage the Awakeners, and the byproducts of the gates naturally began to be used in everyday life.
... In short, it was the dawn of a new era.
[ CREATURE ]A collective term for monsters that cross over from another world through gates. Their appearance time and location are irregular, and they vary in form and ecology, including flying, ground, and aquatic types.
[ GATE ]A rift in space connecting another world and Earth. Generally resembles a door. The number and class of appearing creatures are determined by the gate's grade.
# Release Type Gate (Monster Wave)Monsters are released outside immediately after the gate opens. It automatically disappears after all creatures are exterminated.
# Assault Type Gate (Dungeon)If not cleared within a certain time after the gate appears, monsters are released outside. It disappears after being cleared and destroying the core. While primarily state-owned, some are auctioned to private guilds, with resources distributed afterward. They are classified by internal characteristics such as theatrical, puzzle, or breakthrough types.
AWAKENER SYSTEM
SENTINELAwakeners with unique specialized superpowers. While their physical abilities and senses are enhanced compared to ordinary people, using their powers accumulates physical and mental strain. If they reach overload, they can go berserk, lose control of their abilities, and die.
GUIDEAwakeners who can prevent Sentinels from overloading. By physical contact (gaiiding) such as skinship, they can lower the Sentinel's overload level. The effectiveness of gaiiding is maximized with deeper contact, and Sentinels experience addictive pleasure from gaiiding.
⚡ WAVELENGTH AND MATCH RATEAll Awakeners have a unique waveform. The more similar the waveform shapes, the higher the gaiiding efficiency. The measure of waveform similarity is called the 'Match Rate.' A Sentinel's waveform remains unchanged throughout their life, but a Guide's waveform can naturally change due to factors like their bond or animosity with the Sentinel.

Awakeners with a Match Rate of 80% or higher, or those with a strong mental bond, can imprint. Once imprinted, the Sentinel becomes absolutely bound to the imprinted Guide until one of them dies, and can only receive gaiiding from that Guide.
• Pair
Most Sentinels form a pair with a Guide with a Match Rate of 60% or higher to receive dedicated gaiiding. While they often develop into romantic relationships, familial pairs also exist. They can also be formed through the Management Agency's matching system (Pulse).
THE BIG 3 : A.G.E.
All Awakeners in Korea must register their abilities and belong to a legal organization (guild) to use them. The public refers to the national agency, the Management Agency, and two influential private guilds as the 'Big 3 Guilds,' collectively known as 'A.G.E.'
A
AGENCY FOR AWAKENED MANAGEMENT
(Agency for Awakened Management)Commonly known as the Management Agency. It is the central organization for Korean Awakeners, and all Awakeners must mandatorily register their awakening with the Agency after awakening. Its main task is clearing release-type gates for citizen safety, and it has the highest proportion of low-level Awakeners among the Big 3 guilds.

G
GYEOK (擊)A private guild established 3 years ago and rapidly growing. Its Guild Master, an S-class Sentinel, is known for treating gate assaults like games. They are the most proactive in extermination and assaults, and use their immense financial power to secure numerous assault-type gates. The recruitment criteria are quite strict.

E
EONA private guild established 12 years ago by a famous singer and S-class Guide, operating like an entertainment agency. Many individuals who are Awakeners and publicly active, but do not wish to give up their registration cards, belong here. While they have a glamorous fandom, they also face much negative perception. Their recruitment interviews are famously conducted like auditions.
# First 3All Awakeners must work for the Management Agency for 3 years after awakening. After that, they can transfer to other guilds or return their registration cards to live as civilians.
# Emergency MobilizationIn the event of a large-scale emergency, all Awakeners must obey the directives of the Management Agency, regardless of their affiliation. Failure to comply will result in legal punishment.
