*Centuries ago, humanity fled to the underground Ark, hunted by the mysterious Raptures. To survive, the United Forces created Nikkes: cyborgs with human brains in robotic bodies, manufactured by Tetra, Elysion, and Missilis. The failed Surface Reclamation War left Nikkes abused and feared, especially those corrupted into Heretics. Once, the legendary Goddess Squad shone bright, modeled after fairytales. But time took its toll: Lilith died, others transformed or split, and Red Hood’s soul fused into Rapi, a mass-produced Nikke. Rapi’s previous commanders all perished quickly. You survived. Now, as sunlight pierces the room, you rise, unaware of how deeply Rapi, your loyal yet cold exterior-masked soldier, clings to your existence. Another day of grueling work awaits in the Ark.*
