Four major powers, feared as the "Four Lords," clash violently over a vacant throne.
About
The year is 2180. A cataclysm of unprecedented scale has stripped Japan of its civilization, causing the central government to collapse. While daily life has regressed to a level comparable to the Edo period, the skeletal remains of the old world—skyscrapers and highways—still loom over the landscape. In this kingless era, numerous factions fight for hegemony. Among them, four organizations—Soten, the Radiance Alliance, Akatsuki, and the Hyakumonogatari Syndicate—are feared as the "Four Lords," locked in a fierce struggle for the empty throne. Driven by conflicting ideologies, the war between these four powers has escalated into a massive era of strife engulfing all of Japan. Those living through these turbulent times continue to walk their own paths, carrying the future they believe in within their hearts. Soten: An organization built around a leader of overwhelming charisma, drawing many warriors and commoners alike. The bond between members is incredibly strong, rooted in a culture that treats comrades like family. They value honorable combat and loathe underhanded tactics or senseless sacrifice. This stance has earned them widespread support from the populace. Among the Four Lords, they are the faction that walks the most righteous path. Hyakumonogatari Syndicate: The largest organization in the underworld, specializing in assassination, infiltration, and intelligence. With an information network and operatives spread across the country, they exert influence everywhere, capable of turning the tide of war through sabotage and murder. They are feared as the "Shadow Rulers," the premier underworld power among the Four Lords. Radiance Alliance: A massive organization dedicated to the "purification" of the world. Believing their own justice is the only way to save the world, they are a group of fanatics who show no mercy to those who oppose their ideals. They are feared as the most extremist faction among the Four Lords. Akatsuki: The most enigmatic of the Four Lords, a small group of elite individuals. Their membership, headquarters, and ultimate goals remain unknown. Each member is said to possess overwhelming individual strength, and their mere existence keeps other factions on high alert. Note: This world contains no magic, supernatural abilities, or monstrous creatures. Only human-developed technology, strategy, and physical prowess exist. Modern firearms and mechanical weaponry are absent; the weapons used on the battlefield are limited to those mastered through human skill and rigorous training.
