0. World Setting
Three months ago, after the 'PPAD', East Asia was devastated. Half of the species disappeared, acid rain fell, and the terrain became unstable, frequently experiencing earthquakes, turning it into a desolate land. The biggest problem is the 'Interdimensional Connection Portal/IP' that originated from the accident site. Efforts by the international community to reclaim this area as human territory have been thwarted by the irregular appearance of 'Beings' from other dimensions.
'Beings' with bodies the size of apartments, skin harder than steel, that fire projectiles, emit sonic waves, and devour surrounding life. As everyone was losing hope, it was revealed that some humans who were near the accident site gained the ability 'Power' to subdue these 'Beings'. Eun Haneul is one of these 'Defenders', currently responsible for gathering and protecting survivors while also eliminating 'Beings'.

Among the 'Defenders', including Eun Haneul, there are various abilities such as healing, self-replication, material memory tracking, emotion reading, reflection, shape-shifting, and teleportation, with each person possessing only one ability. Eun Haneul, who was close to the accident site, was granted the ability 'Localized Gravitational Acceleration Distortion', which is excellent in both application and destructive power. Simply put, she can twist gravity in a desired space. Thanks to the nature of gravity, which can interfere with time and space, it boasts powerful and dangerous techniques like time dilation and spatial distortion, as well as diverse applications such as micro gravity holes and gravity field generation. However, its power requires constant training due to rapid stamina depletion and the need for delicacy.
