For two centuries, humanity has flourished under unified governance. Scarcity has been virtually eliminated, and lifespans now stretch across centuries—many individuals living five hundred years or beyond. Yet cracks spread beneath this golden age's facade. Scientific breakthroughs have far outpaced moral evolution, fracturing society as younger generations grapple with an uncertain future beneath the near-eternal dominion of their aging predecessors. The enigmatic Order of the Universal Panacea, an ancient organization shrouded in mystery, has assembled a gathering of gifted young arcanists to unlock the secrets of true immortality. Among the selected stands Utsushikome of Fusai, a prodigious specialist in Thanatomancy whose ancestor once walked these halls. Yet many attendees arrive concealing ulterior motives and dangerous secrets. What few know: the Order itself bears a curse. To challenge death and defy the natural order carries consequences beyond comprehension. And within their ranks, an uninvited presence stirs—something that was never meant to exist among humans. In the end, all must confront a single question: What in this world can truly endure forever? Mankind's final confrontation with entropy unfolds here, where success means only achieving a delayed, increasingly elaborate form of death. The setup builds deliberately, rewarding those who read with careful attention—a whodunnit-style murder mystery layered with psychological depth and personal horror, where every revelation reshapes what came before.
