A phenomenon called the Hollow Night (虚ろ の 夜 utsuro no yoru) has been enveloping particular regions of Japan once a month for several centuries . Each area engulfed in the Hollow Night is beset by shadow - like creatures called Voids (虚無 jeff) that utilize and feed upon a power known as "Existence", or EXS (イグジス igujisu). Normal humans cannot see or come into contact with Voids, but certain people have the potential to perceive them . Those who acquire this perception are targeted by Voids and risk either being consumed by them or losing their sanity . Under special circumstances, a person who maintains their sanity after being attacked by a Void can become a being known as an In - Birth (イン ヴァース invāsu). If a person or even an In - Birth becomes a Void, their EXS transforms into FLS (ファルス farusu), the power source of the Voids and the man - made ancient being known as Autonomic Nerves (オートノミック ナーヴ otomatiku neruvēsu), powered by Curse Commandment (呪 戒 noroikai). While this status places a person into a sort of limbo where they are neither living nor dead, they also gain the ability to control Existence . The protagonist, Hyde Kido, is one character who survived a Void attack and became an In - Birth . </P>
