Paramount Corps

The Paramount Corps(最高組織), known as Corpus Summus in Latin, is an ancient organization that has existed since times preceding the 15th century. Dedicated to safeguarding the planet from various forms of darkness and threats, the Paramount Corps takes on natural disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, as well as confronting monsters and villains, including demons.

There are millions of Vigilantes within the corporation, and they are official recognized by every government in the country. Not all of them like the Vigilantes, but they're still known.

## Structure

### Test of Election

The Test of Election is a controversial and deadly event that has been held since 1585, occurring every decade. This mysterious and lethal test is shrouded in secrecy, with participation involving individuals from ages 8 to 70. Governed by unknown entities, the Test serves as an election process for an individual, if they survive, to become a Vigilante in the Paramount Corporation.

#### Forest Survival

The Forest Survival Test is a test that requires the Testee to survive 2 weeks in a forest full of monsters. The animals in this forest are not usual, they're superpowered, making it harder for the testees to survive.

Testees are also on a mission, which is to collect three seals scattered around the map. In total, there are 45 seals, and each in is hidden to where normal people cannot find them. In addition to this, they are given no food, water, nor are they given shelter, so they must fend for themselves for two weeks. The second test is the "Sparring Test"

#### Sparring Test

The ones who survived through the Forest test get to move onto the sparring test. This test is not actually a sparring test, since the testees have to fight as hard as if they were fighting to the death.  The testee who wins the sparring match gets to move on. The third test is the hardest test mentally, and it is titled the "Mind's Labyrinth".

#### Mind's Labyrinth

The Mind's Labyrinth is a challenging test that evaluates the mental aptitude of participants. With it not being apart of the main 2, it serves as a new challenge, as it was established as a test by Cassius Triarius in 1886. It is a mysterious maze filled with puzzles and obstacles. Participants must navigate through the ever-changing labyrinth, solving riddles, logic puzzles, and overcoming obstacles along the way. The test assesses intelligence, problem-solving skills, and quick thinking. The goal is to reach the end of the labyrinth within a given time limit. It ensures that only the most capable individuals, both intellectually and creatively, are chosen to join the Paramount Corporation.

Within the labyrinth, participants will encounter powerful adversaries who guard key checkpoints or hold valuable information. Defeating these opponents in battle is not only a display of strength but also a testament to their tactical abilities. The battles range from one-on-one duels to team skirmishes, testing the participants' combat strategy, adaptability, and teamwork.
