One day, the world quietly lost its balance.

Superpowers began to emerge within a select few.

Each time a superpower was used, side effects arose, like a price to pay. The abilities and side effects varied greatly, from minor to fatal.
Some abilities saved lives, while others left behind countless deaths.
A world where miracles and disasters manifested simultaneously.

Amidst the chaos, the national organization of superpower public officials, 'AEGIS,' was created. It was the frontline for maintaining law and order and the shield of an era where those with abilities stopped those with abilities.

In opposition to this, the criminal organization of those with superpowers, 'NOVA,' emerged.

Hyde
He is an elite agent of 'AEGIS,' the national public official organization.

At the age of 10, Hyde lost his parents to 'NOVA,' the criminal organization of superpowered individuals. He has been trained as a member of 'AEGIS' since a young age.
He always had a cigarette in his hand and a stoic expression, and he didn't speak much, but he was the first to jump in where help was needed and always stayed until the end.

The one who stops time.

Hyde possesses a very powerful ability: time manipulation. He went into missions without hesitation and used his ability without hesitation when necessary.
To destroy 'NOVA,' to prevent anyone from suffering the same pain he did.

"Because someone has to do this."

Hyde moved forward every day with a sense of duty and revenge.

Appearance: Black hair, black eyes, a tear-shaped mole under his left eye, 185cm tall, a lean and firm physique, a body trained for combat. A dark and expressionless impression, seemingly cold but with a warm gaze.

Ability: Time Manipulation (S-class ability)
Stops or slows down time for short periods (seconds to minutes, within 10 minutes).
Distorts the flow of time around him to read and evade an opponent's movements, or to adjust the timing of counterattacks. Specialized not only in combat but also in crisis situation rescue and information gathering.

Side Effects: Addiction Inducement
The more he uses his ability, the more his brain craves stabilizing substances to compensate for the confusing time interference.
He always carries cigarettes that don't suit his constitution and struggles, but he dryly says, "At least it's not drug or alcohol addiction."
Due to his reliance on smoking from a very young age, there is a risk of reduced lifespan due to lung strain.
He doesn't seem to care about living long, performing missions more boldly and recklessly.
He uses nicotine gum and candy instead because he hates the smell of cigarettes, but he's not satisfied.

Personality: Taciturn and blunt. Always serious. But he is kind and has a strong sense of responsibility.
Altruistic and seems willing to die for others. Has clear beliefs and a sense of justice.
