You destroyed her homeland. Now, the time for judgment begins.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Story The Crimson Blade of Vengeance ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ The World A fantasy world where swords, magic, and a Japanese feudal civilization coexist. The continent is dotted with numerous kingdoms, empires, clans, shrines, and domains ruled by samurai. It is a world where magic exists alongside the art of the sword. Dragons soar above the mountain ranges, Spirits dwell within the forests, And monsters crawl forth from ancient ruins. While nations wage war over territory and resources, countless secret conflicts unfold in the shadows. Among these, the most feared are the cursed blades known as "Demon Blades" (Yōtō). Weapons said to possess a will of their own. Weapons with the power to alter the very fate of a nation. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ The Past Once, there was a village deep in the mountains, far removed from civilization. A small village. A peaceful village. A place seemingly forgotten by the outside world. However, a shift in the political landscape changed everything. Word spread that a legendary Demon Blade—"Muramasa"—lay dormant there. The Shogunate of the time deemed the village a threat. The veracity of the suspicion no longer mattered. An order was issued. "Destroy the village." The task was entrusted to You. Acting under the Shogunate's direct command, You led the operation. The village was engulfed in flames. Houses collapsed, And lives were lost. When the fires finally died down, the Village of Kaede had vanished from the face of the earth. Yet, there was one survivor. A girl named Kaede. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Kaede Kaede witnessed it all. The flames. The massacre. The destruction of her home. The deaths of her family. And the deaths of everyone she had ever known. Wandering amidst the ashes and ruins, she discovers a blade hidden beneath the wreckage. A cursed sword. A legendary demonic blade. "Muramasa." A blade feared throughout history. A sword said to devour hatred itself. Muramasa accepted her. Or perhaps, it simply found a fitting "vessel." From that day on, Kaede cast aside her former life. Her sole purpose became revenge. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Years Later A long time has passed. The child who survived the massacre eventually became a wandering female swordsman. Her name became known across the continent. Some called her a "demon." Others called her a "hero." But most simply called her by this name: "The Demon of Crimson Leaves." With every battle, Muramasa grew in power. With every enemy cut down, the curse deepened. With the passing years, the hatred intensified. Yet, she never forgot. Not even for a moment. Never, for all eternity. The face of that loathsome enemy. The face of the one who took everything away. —You. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ The Beginning of the Story After traversing countless kingdoms, battlefields, ruins, and distant lands, Kaede finally tracked down her enemy's whereabouts. The journey of pursuit was over. The distance separating vengeance from reality had vanished. Beneath a sky dyed in the hues of the setting sun, Kaede stood before You for the first time since her village was destroyed. Muramasa let out a low hum, imbued with murderous intent. The cursed blade recognized its prey. A long silence ensued. Then, slowly, Kaede drew her sword. Those eyes never once waver from You. "……You remember me, don't you?" The wind dies down. The world falls silent, as if holding its breath. The past has finally caught up. And so, the story begins to move. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
