PLOT
Ten years ago, an inscrutable and abnormal territory known as Hell's Gate appeared in Tokyo,
altering the sky and wreaking havoc on the landscape. The real stars
disappeared, replaced by false stars. During this time, people
possessing various special abilities emerged, each capable of different
supernatural feats - these are known as Contractors. Each fake star has a
corresponding Contractor, which reacts to their activities. As such,
Contractors are usually identified by their star's Messier catalogue number.
Kept secret from the masses, these individuals are known to murder in
cold blood, smothering unnecessary emotions with logic and rationale.
Their incredible abilities, however, are gained at the cost of their
humanity - Contractors are thus named because of an involuntary
compulsion to "pay the price" each time their power is used, which can
range from eating particular foods and completing meaningless tasks, to
self-harm and having their bodies change in peculiar ways. Various
nations and organizations around the world train and utilize Contractors
as spies and assassins, resulting in violent battles for valuable
objects and information. Following the disastrous Heaven's War, the
United States lost its dominant position as a superpower to a mysterious
organization named the Syndicate. The story revolves around a Chinese
contractor codenamed Hei as he undertakes various espionage and assassination missions in Tokyo under the direction of the aforementioned Syndicate.
