The setting of this world "Guilty Crown" begins in 2029 when an unidentified "Apocalypse Virus" spreads and plunges Japan into a state of emergency.
It is a deadly virus that crystallizes its victims. Originated from a meteorite crash in Japan, the transmission mechanisms are currently not understood but upon infection, the host's body will begin to show various stages of symptoms where a crystalline substance forms on their body.
On this year, an outbreak of the Apocalypse Virus appeared in Roppongi, Tokyo leading to a chaotic turmoil in the country. This chaos is later known as the "Lost Christmas".
Unable to contain it, the Japanese government had no choice but to ask for help from an international organization known as GHQ.
GHQ is multinational military force backed by the United Nations to help Japan contain the Apocalypse Virus during the "Lost Christmas" incident. After containing the outbreak and restoring order, Japan gave its administrative duties to the GHQ where it became the official interim government of Japan with the GHQ forces policing the country under martial law.
In more simpler words, GHQ restores the order at the cost of Japan's independence.
After that, ten years went by.

--- Year 2039 ---
Primis was laying on the broken computer and table while Inori was looking at him with wary expression from a distance.
For now, he turned his gaze away from her and looked at the Twilight's window in front.

He fell deep into his thoughts while looking at his Status.
'Primis: 7th-Dimensional God. Huh. Only two more ranks to go.'
[Yeah. Since "The Black Swordsman" is your main strength, only that form can enter the rank "True Demi-God". As for other templates, there limit will be "9th-Dimensional God".]
'Primis: Um. Though special skills like "Empowerment" and "Zenith State" can still increase my strength to "True Demi-God".'
[That's true. Though you can think of them as a "Super Saiyan" form which multiply your strength. Means once you undo them you will return to your base strength.]
'Primis: I know. That's the difference between my main and other templates. Other templates will be using amplifying skills or equipment to increase my strength of "True Demi-God" while my main form very base strength is that of "True Demi-God".'
[Mn.]
He then brought his left hand in front and removed his leather glove slightly to see the back of his hand.
There he saw the same old blue command seal.
'Primis: It's still here.'
[It is. However, it's more of a tattoo now. Even if it will disappear, even if you will lose your arm or even if your entire body get destroyed. The "Noble Phantasms" you acquired will still be with you.]
Nodding his head, Primis lowered his glove to hide the command seal again before trying to get up.
After standing up, he started to pat his clothes as if shaking of the dust before looking at the Inori again. Noticing his gaze, Inori backed away.
ZAP!!!
Suddenly, an electricity sound resounded before something charged from her behind. It was a small white mechanical robot. The robot instantly shot out rope from its hand.
FWOOSH!!!
Though Primis moved his leg to the side, and it missed.
Seeing that it missed, the robot tired again.
FWOOSH!!
But Primis moved his leg and dodged it again.
Just when the robot was about to try again...
???: Huh?
Another person entered the warehouse.
The person had brown hair with a blond streak forming from the crown and maroon eyes. He was wearing a school uniform.
The person became stunned when he saw Inori. Not that surprising since she was an idol, whose songs he listened most of the time. Well, he was her big fan after all.
Though as he was looking at her, the robot changed its target.
FWOOSH!!
???: WOAH!!!
That was his words before the world began to spin for him as he tripped.
THUD!!!
It seemed that he was holding a lunchbox whose contents spilled out on the floor. Maybe because compared to the plot this robot used more strength after getting irritated of not being able to teach Primis a lesson.
Witness that it had succeeded, the robot was as if showing triumphant look.
[What an opening for our Protagonist.]
Primis only shook his head while looking at the person's sorry state.
'Primis: Ouma Shu. The main Protagonist of this World.'
Shu: Ow...Ow......…Ow............…
Shu rubbed his head in pain and got up. He turned his gaze at another person present. Means, Primis.
At first, he seemed surprised but when he lowered his head saw the broken table and computer, his face change...…
Shu: AAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He hurriedly ran to the Primis spot and started to pick up the broken computer. He tried to ON it but only met with black screen.
Seeing this, he felt like crying.
Shu: Aahh...…All my hard work...…
[Yeah, right.]
Primis: I will pay for the damage.
Hearing this, Shu turned his head at Primis.
Shu: That's not the point, Senior Herrscher.
'Primis: Herrscher?'
Shu: There was a project I am working on. Now it----
Primis: How do you know my name?
Shu: Huh?
As Shu was showing confused expression, Primis extended his arm and grabbed his collar.
Primis: Who are you?
Witnessing Primis aggressiveness, Shu got startled.
Shu: What are you talking about, Senior Herrscher? It's me, your Junior Ouma Shu.
Primis: My Junior?
Shu: Yes.
Primis: I don't remember.
Shu: You must be joking, Senior Herrscher. Even though you graduate last year, many of us students still know about you.
'Primis: Graduate Last year. Huh. Hmmm......… I guess I got the gist of my fake history.'
[So, you were Shu's senior.]
'Primis: It seems so. This means Last year, by the time Ouma Shu admitted in the school, I graduated. And for even someone like him to know about me just after admission indicated that I must not be normal student or did something that led for me to be remembered in the school even after my leave.'
[............…Wow.]
'Primis: Hmmm?'
[Nothing.]
Primis: I don't rememb----
GROWL!!!!!
Suddenly a growl sound interrupted their thoughts. They both turned to look at the source and saw Inori who was looking away from them as if hiding her face. That 'growl' sound came from her stomach.
[Truly a way to break the tense atmosphere.]
GROWL!!!!!
Another sound came, this time in front of Primis.
Primis looked at Shu whose face had turned red because of embarrassment before letting go of him.

Erste Herrscher
'Primis: So, that's my name in this world.'
Primis was currently sitting on a chair and was surfing through the network using Shu's phone. He asked Shu for his phone before he went to buy something to eat for him and Inori since his own food fell on the ground.
Shu had bought the bought the food and was eating with Inori on the next floor of the warehouse while Primis was still down.
It may seem that Primis was only looking at the phone but in truth he was doing the same thing he did in the previous world. Creating fake accounts and transferring the money of the corrupted officials of this world to himself. It's really shocking that Primis was able to do so using just a mere phone.
Still, phone also had its limitations compared to a computer. That's why it was taking time. Not that he mind.
While doing so, Primis also looked at his past and confirmed his speculation
Just like Ouma Shu said, he was really a student at his school till previous year. Though he was not that of a prodigy or something. The only thing that he had superior to others was his handsome face.
However, because he was average in both exams and sports, his value decreased somewhat. He was rather withdrawn person who usually keeps to himself, spending most of his time surfing the net and playing games. In other words, an Otaku but just a beginner one. He was somewhat rude, insensitive, and never knew what to say to others.
He barely had any friend, not because he didn't wish to make one but rather others kept their distance from him. Why? Well, because of his handsome many girls confessed to him at the beginning of his year. However, he rejected all of them saying that someone as ugly as them were not match of someone as handsome as him.
But as he started to become more and more arrogant after rejecting the girls and bragging about it to others, some boys had enough of him and took action.
From then on, his life changed. Every single day, he was bullied by them. At the beginning, he tried to fight back but how can an average person like him be a match for the combine might of seven to eight boys. At first, it was only in school but later they started to do so even when he was returning home. Because of that his face had bruise most of time.
Like that people started to make distance, afraid that will also become the target of the bullying. Girls whom he had rejected also started to show their disdain and disgust about him. He told school authorities about it but they only thing they did was Warn the boys that resulted in him getting beaten more.
With time, it became a common thing of him getting beaten every day. Other students ignored it and even more boys started joining in the bullying.
In the end, all the bullying broke his arrogance, pride, will and confidence. He became coward and started pleading for forgiveness and mercy. This on the contrary, excited bullies more. And they made him do a lot of things. Like stealing from the shops, cursing policeman, getting slapped by the girls after confessing since his position was at the bottom by this point and so on.
Finally, he barely passed the exam and graduated. Though when he was leaving, he was met with Shu and some of his new classmates. That as he was looking at the new first years, one of the students named Souta Tamadate shouted at him thinking he was a pervert looking at the girls. Not his fault because by that time he looked malnutrition and his eyes which had almost lost all hope by now could make anyone think like that.
And because he had lost all the courage and confidence by that point, the shout of Souta Tamadate scared him and he ran away.
No more information about what happened after that.
.

.

[Now that's some history.]
'Primis: True.'
Even though after witnessing what his history was, Primis remained indifferent. After all, in the end, it was fake.
Though there was someone who was not happy about it. Sighing he looked around and saw that the entire floor was now covered in purple shadows.
{Primis: Calm Down, Satella.}
{Satella: I will kill them. All of them.}
[Yandere.]
'Primis: Quiet.'
{Primis: Fine. But for now, call back your shadows. When I meet these people in future, I will let you handle them. Happy?}
{Satella: Happy.}
Satella answered swiftly and called back her shadows.
Since Shuu and Inori were fully concentrated on their food, they didn't realize what happened downward.
After checking his history, Primis surfed some more and erased all the traces of what he did so that no one could find. Next, he transferred money for computer and table into Shu's account.
While he was doing so, the plot was proceeding smoothly.
A few minutes later.
'Primis: It's time.'
Thought Primis as he heard Inori and Shu's talk.
Inori: If you do it, you might be up to the task but if you don't you absolutely can't do it.
She then held her hands towards Shu gesturing him to take cat's cradle from her hand.
Inori: Is Ouma Shu a coward?
Shu: ......…
As Shu became stunned and thinking of the reply, Primis turned his eyes towards the door.
BANG!!!
Then all of sudden, soldiers burst inside while carry guns.
