Prologue: "The beginning of the end".

After generations, the clans of the sacred dynasties of Kyoto, and my family, the Hoshinomori clan, have been in charge of maintaining the "balance" between this world and "him."

But my generation was entrusted with the mission of ending the war that has been going on for more than a thousand years. In other words, ending the existence of "him", that omnipotent presence that sees everything from a safe place, the one that is only known by the 4 clans and that responds to the name of "Samuru-san".

–– The moment has come…–– I adjusted my uniform tie.

–– Akira.

–– Hm…

Out of nowhere, my father's voice began to echo in my ears.

I only reacted by closing my eyes and remembering the moment of the promotion ceremony.

–– Akira listen, Samuru-san is not just any presence, you have to always be on your guard, never… Never trust the routine of this world, okay?

–– Yes father, it will be my hands that will put an end to this.

–– Hehe. –– I still remember the little smile my father gave me. –– That's what I wanted to hear son, now listen to me well Akira, when the time comes, you…

At that moment I opened my eyes and looked up as my father's words and the mission he entrusted to me passed through my mind like a cloud in the sky that at this moment captivated my visual field.

–– "You will defeat Samuru-san."
