[WSA 2025 ENTRY ]



In an ancient world where the skies bleed and the forests breathe rot, Kuro Yamihana walks alone. Born into a forgotten branch of Yamihana clan, he's not a prodigy, not blessed, and certainly not chosen. But when the corrupted crawl out from the dark, no one else steps forward.



Armed with only grim instinct and a peculiar grimoire that speaks more like a curse than a guide, Kuro survives. Not through power — but through pain, endurance, and a sharp blade honed by grief.



In a land where nothing stays dead and even the air feels cursed, survival is the only rebellion.



He was never meant to matter. But the veil is thinning — and it's starting to whisper his name.
