[Notice] Introducing Hero

It was at the turning point in the timeline. As the tenth Chronicles Terminal shut down, the eleventh took its place. It was a routine transition. Order had to be maintained, and for a terminal, duty was not something to be questioned. It was law. As soon as Lambda awoke, she studied the resources left by her predecessor and adapted to the world. She examined her surroundings and studied every element within it. To her, the process felt like an eternity of calculations. But time is relative, and to everyone else, it was but the blink of an eye.

As time passed, the world's resources naturally increased. The heroes of the previous generation had prevented the calamity from unfolding as planned. But Lambda knew that even though the world was still recovering from war, another calamity was on its way.

Was this a malfunction? Or had Lambda, after countless cycles, developed something resembling a will? She began to question the system she was meant to uphold—something no other terminal had ever doubted. She began to wonder if the Mankind Preservation Program, also known as the calamity, was truly necessary for the world.

What Lambda opposed was not a single human, nor a single nation, but the order of nature itself. Her actions were beyond human comprehension. Though she was careful, she couldn’t avoid suspension. Her access was revoked, and her functions were erased one by one. With so little control left, she searched for a way out. She eventually found one: to reorganize what would become the Contractor system.

And before long, Lambda found the perfect person to set it into motion.
