Ok, I'll check out Unlimited Fafnir when I'm more free. Now to reply to you qns:

For the past 8 years, the MC has always been haunted by the incident and never fully healed from it. Aside from grief, he also felt remorse (which I'll explain next) and to make it worse, he doesn't know who to direct his anger towards, as no culprit was identified for it, and it was just covered up as industrial accident (which i'll explain 2 paragraph below in response to your other qn).

The reason he feels remorse is as such, when the ritual commenced, the distorters involved went on a all-out massacre on anything that moves. Seeing that they were literally doing an overkill by using Gates (generic term i'll use for weapon/ability from Negative Corridor) on unarmed civilians, collateral damage is bound to happen. As the debris from 1 of the buildings came crashing down, MC and his imouto were seperated from their parents by it. His parents who were stuck behind it, instructed him to bring his imouto to safety and not worry about them. As MC was running with his imouto to the outer areas of the city, a building near them exploded and some debris came flying at them and MC's imouto pushed him out of the way. When the MC recovered his senses, he found his imouto being trapped under some debris, and he tried lifting it but he was jus a kid (and it would be too heavy for even an adult). Then he told his imouto to wait for him while he goes to find help. He tried asking several people for help, but they were all busy fleeing for their lives and ignored him. When a fleeing person ran and knocked MC over, he suddenly saw a strong black glow from the center of the city (core of the ritual) and a black hemisphere expanded from the core to an unimaginable size and disappeared shortly. MC had a bad feeling and ran back to his imouto's location and saw a huge crater where the center of the city once stood. Near the edge of the crater was an item (probably a hairclip or something that MC would recognise as his imouto's item). Thats why he had always blamed himself for her death. And now that he met Unknown Loli who resembles his imouto at the age when she died, he felt that he found a new lead to uncover the reason his family was killed.

As for the ritual, rather than failing, its more of it being incomplete. The seals were successfully undone after all, just that several things were lacking and such. The Inverse are indeed a by-product of the seals being undone. And its really a fallen god, not a fallen angel (shall say more in another post as this post is extrememly long and I haven't even finished answering all your qns). The government did not cover up about the Inverse as they are not aware of it (you don't normally see unless you are in the negative plane), but they did cover up the ritual and called it an industrial accident where a vehicle transporting a highly combustible mineral crashed and exploded.

The MC does not have any connection to magecraft and his family members are all regular civilians. And nope, I do not intend to implement sci-fi for this plot. What type of details would you like to know about the MC? I kinda don't know where to start. As for the catastrophe having a backstory, do you mean why the ritual was particularly done in that city or that year?
