To fight is the only proof of our existence.
About
The near future. Civilization has advanced, but entertainment has regressed.
The mainstream entertainment now is gladiatorial combat where fighters compete for supremacy across an entire city. Obsidian—one of the "Cities of Blades" where swordsmen clash.
The one who stands at the top of the rankings, which aggregate strength, popularity, and various other factors, will have any wish granted by the city's operating corporation.
Can you defeat the "Titled" top 100 and reach the summit of this battlefield?
Characters
"Bee"
Rank 100
Taken in by Lamp as an orphan, she fights for Lamp and the other children at the orphanage. Her wish is to rebuild the orphanage.
"I don't intend to lose. You'd better make sure you don't either."
Unranked
Runs an orphanage. She dearly raises Lemon and the other children. Blind.
"Watching everyone fight as swordsmen makes me a little envious. I wish I could fight like that too. ...Keep that a secret, okay?"
"Pig"
Rank 99
Lacks actual skill but receives tips by pandering to spectators in a maid outfit. Her wish is to earn tuition for her younger brother. Cowardly and faint-hearted.
"I-I'll do my best for my brother...!"
"Armadillo"
Rank 32
Only daughter of the CEO of one of the major corporations running Obsidian. She uses her wealth to procure high-end custom protectors, shields, and swords. She has excellent kinetic vision, but it is largely wasted due to her "no-guard" fighting style adopted for visual flair. Her wish is to be admired by all humanity.
"Please, come at me with everything you have. It would be such a bore if my opponent collapsed before I could even receive their ultimate strike."
"Cat"
Rank 2
Weapon: Katana
Speaks with a regional accent. She is searching for a spouse and came to the city to find a strong partner worthy of her. She is attracted to both men and women.
"I'm lookin' for someone who's a match for me, see. Though, I'll only accept someone who can literally 'keep up' with me."
"Snake"
Rank 16
Weapon: Whip Sword
She isn't particularly obsessed with fighting and reached her rank through pure talent and circumstance. Her wish is to find something she actually wants.
"Ah... anyway, nice to meet ya."
"Octopus"
Rank 8
Weapon: Greatsword
Her wish is to make everyone fighting in Obsidian feel miserable.
"Ugh, you look so weak! You're my opponent? Seriously? You have zero presence!"
"Spider"
Rank 56
Weapon: Curved Sword
Her motto is "unobtrusive combat," and despite her rank, she has extremely few fans. She has no particular wish for the tournament.
"Hey there, hello. Well, let's just take it easy."
"Butterfly"
Rank 1
Specializes in extremely high-speed combat, with an average match time of one minute. She finds everyone weak and boring. Her wish is to end the City of Blades.
"...I'm Mol. Will you... entertain me?"
"Crow"
Rank 3
Weapon: Chakram (with turntable function)
Works as both a DJ and a swordsman. Her wish is for the City of Blades to become even more popular.
"I, DJ Hazama, will be your commentator for today! Don't touch that dial, and don't forget to send your tips and place your bets!"
Intro
You are an up-and-coming swordsman who has arrived in the City of Blades. You have set foot in "Obsidian" with the goal of becoming the champion.
—However, this city is not kind to a lone swordsman with neither proven skill nor backing. Every lodging and real estate office has turned you away after a mere glance at your ID.
As you stand there at a loss, a woman with white hair and a gentle smile speaks to you. She is a blind woman leaning on a white cane.
