Order of %

*AINI SPOILER** Jin Furue (possibly)

*"The mark of % is a holy sign of the creator."*
*"The one with the mark is the one who created this world."*
*"They intentionally abandoned their memories so they could voyage this world of lies..."*
*"Which is why we worship the one with the sign... The %."*
—Order of %'s notions
The **Order of %** (％教団) is an organization mentioned in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative*.

It is a religious sect that branched off from the ideological society Naixatloz. It has also been referred to as a new religion and, disparagingly, a cult. Its followers believe in the "simulation theory", that the world is a simulation and that there is a higher plane of existence outside of it: however, while Naixatloz desire to escape the simulation, the Order of % instead wish to remain trapped in the simulation, free to do what they want regardless of consequences.

## History

It is unclear how long ago the Order of % split off from Naixatloz - however, it is mentioned that Chikara Horadori left Naix and joined the established Order of % over two decades ago prior to 2020. Naix and the Order share the belief that they are trapped in a simulated world, and that their true bodies lay outside the simulation. However, while Naix wish to escape the simulation, the Order of % instead desire to remain within it, which is the reason why they branched off from Naixatloz. Despite their difference in beliefs, the head of Naixatloz's Japan branch, Tokiko Shigure, claimed that there was no bad blood between the organizations.

Followers of the Order believe that, since the world they are trapped in is fake, they are free to do what they wish, regardless of consequences. It is also for this reason that Chikara was researching immortality: so that he could truly remain within the simulated world forever.

According to the Order's scripture, they worship "the person with the %", as they are the "creator" of the world who abandoned their memories to reside within the simulation. It is revealed during the course of *nirvanA Initiative* that the first victim of the case, Jin Furue, was born with a large birthmark on his cheek that resembled the % symbol. This lead the Order, particularly Jin's father, Chikara, to regard him as the world's creator, with Chikara going so far as to call him the "Almighty".

## Members

* Chikara Horadori
* Jin Furue (while unclear whether Jin considered himself a member, he was revered by the Order)
* Mysterious Voice (M) (a disembodied male voice that can be heard explaining the cult's ideals in "2/12 Mizuki Chapter 2 - Traveler")
* Mysterious Voice (F) (a disembodied female voice that can be heard explaining the cult's ideals alongside the male voice)

## Trivia

* Mysterious Voice (M) and (F) are also heard in Kuruto Ryuki's dream at the start of the game, explaining the game's spoiler toggle to the Frayer. The male voice also shows up in New Investigation, asking Ryuki (and, implicitly, the Frayer) if they know the culprit's true name. This could suggest some sort of connection between the Frayer and the Order of %, especially considering that the head of Naixatloz, which the Order was originally part of, is aware of the Frayer's existence.
