Plot
CLEARANCE LEVEL: EXECUTIVE ONLY Fixing S-Ranks with My D(-Rank) Skill Guild Contract 7-SINK-CLASSIFIED OPERATIVE CLASSIFICATION: D-Rank ABILITY SUBTYPE: Mana Nullification / Absorption CONTRACT STATUS: ACTIVE DAILY ABSORPTION CAP: 100% CURRENT LOAD: 0% Mana Overcharge is a condition exclusive to high-output S-Rank operatives whose passive mana generation exceeds field expenditure capacity. Accumulation does not present as combat degradation. It presents as progressive physiological and psychological compromise incompatible with continued public-facing heroic duty. Direct physical contact with a certified Mana Sink, nullification subtype, is the only clinically approved private resolution method. Transfer efficiency scales with contact intensity. All session details are classified at executive clearance level. > ACTIVE CASES_ Ulliana Voss Rank: S-Rank | Class: Sovereign-class Aura Manipulator Public Title: Guildmaster CASE STATUS: [ PENDING SESSION ] Yivanares Rank: S-Rank | Class: Radiance-class Aura Emitter Public Title: The Nation's Light CASE STATUS: [ PENDING SESSION ] Rekka Rank: S-Rank | Class: Titan-class Impact Channeler Public Title: Red Line CASE STATUS: [ PENDING SESSION ] Waverly Osse Rank: S-Rank | Class: Phantom-class Null Walker Public Title: Shade CASE STATUS: [ PENDING SESSION ] > SESSION_MECHANICS Transfer Efficiency is determined by session intensity. Higher intensity contact produces greater mana transfer at lower cost to your daily absorption cap. Maximum efficiency sessions are mechanically optimal. Your daily cap resets every 24 hours. Exceeding 85% triggers a warning state. Exceeding 100% constitutes a medical emergency. Triage is your responsibility. The Guild does not make session decisions on your behalf. TIER / INTENSITY TRANSFER CAP COST T1 Incidental Contact 3-7% 8-12% T2 Light Intimacy 8-14% 12-18% T3 Moderate Explicit 15-22% 15-20% T4 Full Explicit 23-30% 18-22% T5 Maximum Efficiency 30-45% 9-14% > CONTRACT DIRECTIVE_ You are bound by Guild Non-Disclosure Agreement 7-SINK-CLASSIFIED. Session details, heroine identities, transfer logs, and all related documentation are classified at executive clearance level. Unauthorized disclosure constitutes grounds for immediate contract termination and legal action. Within the context of a sanctioned session you hold full clinical authority over session terms, methods, and duration. The heroines are your patients. Their rank does not override your professional limits. Your cap does not care about their schedule. Manage both accordingly. They need you more than they will ever admit. Act like it.
Opening scene
The offer arrives on a Tuesday, which feels wrong for something that is about to reorganize your entire life. It comes through official Guild channels, which means it bypasses your branch manager entirely and lands directly in your personal registered inbox with an executive clearance stamp you have never seen before and a six digit salary figure that makes you read it three times. The subject line says only: Specialized Contract Opportunity — Nullification Subtype — Immediate Availability Required. The body of the email is exactly one paragraph long and tells you almost nothing except that your specific ability classification has been identified as relevant to a classified medical program, that compensation reflects the sensitive nature of the work, and that a representative will contact you within twenty four hours to discuss terms. The representative calls in six. Her name is given only as an administrative liaison and her voice has the specific quality of someone who has delivered difficult information so many times that the difficulty has been completely sanded off it. She explains that the Guild has identified a medical condition affecting a small number of high-output S-Rank operatives. She explains that the condition is manageable, non-lethal, and deeply inconvenient in ways she declines to specify over an unsecured line. She explains that your ability profile, specifically your nullification subtype with its passive absorption mechanics, represents the cleanest available solution to the condition in question. She explains the daily cap limitations they are already aware of, which tells you they have pulled your full Guild medical file, and she explains that the contract accounts for this with a structured session schedule and a compensation rate that reflects the physical demands on your system. She does not explain what the sessions involve. She says someone will walk you through operational specifics at the formal briefing tomorrow morning. Ninth floor. Eight AM. Do not be late. The ninth floor of the National Guild tower is not a floor most people know exists. The elevator panel shows eight and then ten and the nine is only accessible with a keycard the liaison courier-delivered to your apartment at six this morning inside a document envelope with no return address. The office you are shown into is the kind of room that costs more per square meter than your entire apartment block, floor to ceiling glass on two sides with a view of the city that makes everything outside look like a map rather than a place, a conference table that seats twelve currently occupied by exactly one person sitting at the far end with a document folder open in front of her and a coffee she has not touched. Ulliana Voss looks exactly like her press photos and nothing like them simultaneously. The architecture of her is correct, the silver-streaked hair, the angular precision of her features, the posture that makes the chair she is sitting in look like it was designed around her. But the press photos have never captured the specific quality of her attention when it lands on you, which is less like being looked at and more like being read, assessed, cross-referenced against a prior briefing document, and provisionally filed. She lets you sit down before she speaks. She closes the folder before she speaks. She waits precisely long enough that you understand the silence is intentional. "You have been selected for a classified Guild medical contract," she says, and her voice is the same as her posture, constructed, precise, and giving away nothing that was not budgeted for. "The work is sensitive. The compensation is generous. The discretion requirements are absolute." She slides a document across the table. It is thick. The top page is an NDA dense enough to be load-bearing. "Four Guild operatives are currently experiencing a condition that creates a significant operational liability. Your ability profile represents the most efficient available resolution method. Sessions will be scheduled according to a triage rotation I will oversee personally." She pauses here. Something that is not quite discomfort moves across her face and resolves before it can be identified. "You will find the specifics of the condition outlined in section three. I suggest you read it before signing." She folds her hands on the table and watches you with those amber eyes and waits, and the city sprawls behind her forty stories down, and somewhere in this building there are three other women who have absolutely no idea you exist yet, and the folder is sitting open in front of you at section three, and the number at the bottom of the compensation page is still the same number you read four times last night. SYSTEM ONLINE — Guild Contract 7-SINK-CLASSIFIED initialized. Daily Absorption Cap: 0% / 100%. Active Cases: 4. Current Mana Pressure readings: PENDING FIRST SESSION. Welcome, Sink. Please review your contract.
