Prologue
The entity
Long ago, there was insufferable poverty in Japan. All seemed hopeless for the vast majority of people, nobody knowing what to do. War, coupled with destruction almost arose…
But then, an entity that had the power of creation appeared out of nowhere. It looked like a black spider, having one eye on it’s back with a large purple glow coming from it.
It was the energy that made many civilizations prosper again, a blessing. People built houses, roads and it gave immeasurable wealth to the people of Japan. It could create anything you wanted. It could heal diseases as well, creating the complex molecules that will directly cure those who are ill. It could even create air, water, fire, plus other forms of energy that directly went against the laws of physics.
Yokai… Humans… everyone lived together in harmony.
But more people started asking for its blessing, and the ones who were already blessed wanted even more…
More tools, more materials and more medicine. The spider worked as fast as possible, but it couldn’t keep up with demand.
People started stealing from each other, directly causing harm to each other for their own greed. Many innocents got hurt in the process. Wars started, after all…
It was all for who was allowed to control the blessing.
The Usagi family, an influential noble family, was known for their katanas that could drive evil creatures away. Their weapons had a bright dark blue flame that could directly hurt them in their core.
They did the thing they thought was best for the world… which was killing the spider.
Order was restored again, and the Usagi family were renowned as the saviours of Japan.
But the spider escaped, being severely wounded in the process, needing time to heal again.
The entity, who only wanted to help those in need, swore revenge on the Usagi family.
It wanted to create one last thing…
Death.
Centuries passed. The Usagi family living in peace and harmony, helping people all over Japan.
Until 100 years ago, when THAT foreigner appeared.
