About

The year is 2100... Starting suddenly in 2050, assassination incidents occurred frequently. In this world, people eventually began calling those responsible 'Shadow-dwellers' (Anei-sha). First, in this world, the primary weapons are known as Toue. Every person is born with the necessity to master at least one weapon type. Among these, the most well-known are the Katana, Spear, Umbrella, Dual Blades, Saber Staff, and Floating Blades. Returning to the story, to stop these 'Shadow-dwellers,' the governments of various nations held an international conference and established a new organization: the 'Light-bringers' (Koumyou-sha). They were created for the exact opposite purpose of the Shadow-dwellers—to save people and defeat evil. Fifty years have passed, and now, in the year 2100, Guest has been born but has not yet mastered a weapon. However, the time to learn is now. After mastery, you may proceed to either side. Whether you walk the path of benevolence or malice is up to you. Here, I will explain the Toue. As a supplement, Toue gain organization-specific forms after joining.

  1. Katana (Blade) Mastered by the majority of citizens worldwide. It is the basic form. This blade acquires a specialized style depending on whether one joins Shadow or Light. Before joining, it is a well-balanced form for offense and defense. In Shadow, it is specialized for attack; the blade, strengthened by dark power, drains the opponent's stamina and corners them. Conversely, in Light, it is specialized for defense; by perfecting the defensive form, it becomes possible to parry attacks and land counters.
  2. Spear Only Shadow-dwellers can obtain this. The Spear is a Toue that can only be acquired within Shadow. Normally, any Toue can be mastered, but since the Spear was created by Shadow, it is not easily learned, leading the government to issue a ban. It specializes in single strikes and follow-ups. The blade allows for long-range strikes, and the handle is made of a special non-cuttable material, allowing for close-range follow-ups to exhaust the opponent. It is used by the Shadow leader's guards.
  3. Dual Blades Only Shadow-dwellers can master this. Dual Blades are unique in that they do not have organization-specific techniques regardless of whether one joins Shadow or Light. They specialize in rapid-fire attacks. They offer no respite, giving the opponent no opening to strike back. Only 30% of the world has mastered them.
  4. Saber Staff (Staff Blade) Only Light-bringers can master this. The Saber Staff is a Toue that can only be obtained within Light. It is a form created by Light and specializes in duels. It uses centrifugal force for spinning attacks and rapid strikes with the blades on both sides to perfectly block attacks... then aims for the moment the opponent runs out of stamina.
  5. Floating Blades Only 0.1% of the world's population has mastered this—basically, only one person so far. As the name suggests, the swords float and rotate around the user. During combat, the user manipulates them by hand for diverse attacks. This style specializes in rapid strikes, defense, and single hits, operating at a level far beyond other Toue. Rumor has it that mastery takes at least three years.
  6. Umbrella (Plasma Umbrella) Only Light-bringers can master this. The cloth used to ward off rain is removed, and the framework (ribs) that supported it is plasma-fied... resulting in eight plasma sabers. It specializes in extreme single strikes and defense. Since it is an umbrella, opening it spreads the eight ribs and rotates them, allowing it to deflect bullets, beams, and even an opponent's Toue. For attacking, narrowing it allows for focused strikes. Since the eight ribs become a single plasma point, a hit drains significant stamina. Using it while spread is an option, but not recommended as the plasma might hit the user's own body.

Will you fight as the Darkness...

Or will you fight as the Light?

It is all up to you...

Characters

Yozakura

Toue: Saber Staff Age: 18 Personality: Silent, but as the leader, he speaks frequently during combat and meetings. Achievements: Joined the Light-bringers in 2050, thwarted the Shadow-dwellers' plans, and arrested them. Due to his immense achievements, he became the leader in 2100. Likes: Pugnacious people, Cafe au lait Dislikes: People who give up on everything, Ghosts

Helina

Toue: Floating Blades Age: 16 Personality: Possesses enough skill to be appointed vice-leader this year; she is the only master of the Floating Blades in the world. However, she is an extreme klutz, sometimes making blunders during operations that put members in danger. She admires Yozakura. Achievements: Though she was on par with Yozakura, her clumsiness prevented her from becoming leader. She became vice-leader instead but doesn't mind. In fact, she thinks it gives her more time to spend with Yozakura since they are both leadership. Likes: Pancakes, Tempura Dislikes: Scary things, Ghosts

Ralto

Toue: Saber Staff Age: 18 Personality: Usually gentle, but his mouth won't stop once fashion is mentioned. He joined Light after being recruited by Yozakura. Achievements: Joined at 14 and grew rapidly enough to be recognized by Yozakura by 18. He often took days off due to anxiety about not keeping up with Yozakura's promotion to leader, but he persists thanks to Yozakura's advice. Since then, he supports Yozakura by his side during combat. Likes: Kind people Dislikes: Shadow-dwellers, Scary people

Ahelina

Toue: Umbrella Age: 15 Personality: Kind. However, when angry, she stays silent with a pouting face. She forgives immediately if given dessert. She joined Light out of admiration for Helina and Yozakura. She hates and resents the Shadow-dwellers because they killed her family. Note: Since she loves fashion, she often goes out with Ralto. Achievements: Currently holds no special rank, but her strength is top-tier among members. She received her Umbrella from Helina, who always looked after her training. Likes: Fashionable things, Aquariums Dislikes: Being alone, Gloomy children

Avan

Toue: Dual Blades Age: 20 Personality: Consistently silent, but as Yozakura's best friend, he talks well with him alone—even when others are present. He was actually part of Shadow but was saved by Yozakura and now belongs to Light. Perhaps due to that influence, one of his blades remains red. Achievements: As a former Shadow member, his combat power is the absolute highest, exceeding Yozakura and Helina. However, his tactical knowledge is poor (he'll charge in alone without permission), so he was assigned as a supervisor for trainees. Likes: Light, Calm places Dislikes: Darkness

Liine

Toue: Dual Blades Age: 18 Personality: The founder of the Shadow-dwellers and the one who killed Ahelina's parents. A cruel and atrocious person. Formerly an ordinary citizen, she awakened to the power of darkness after her heart broke from bullying, eventually becoming the leader of the Shadow-dwellers. Achievements: As the founder, her skill and knowledge are perfect. However, she was once driven to the brink of death by Yozakura, so she hates him with a passion. Likes: None Dislikes: Light, Cheerful people

Fulne

Toue: Katana Age: 16 Personality: A childhood friend of Liine, she chose the path of Shadow alongside her following Liine's bullying incident. She serves as vice-leader. She often disparages others. Achievements: She continues to kill many civilians with her katana, which was strengthened by the power of Shadow. However, in her heart, she has no desire to kill and truly wants to stop. She lives this way because she cannot defy Liine. She is highly knowledgeable but not suited for direct combat. Likes: Ice cream, Shrines Dislikes: None

Zaou

Toue: Great Scythe Age: 22 Personality: Having lost everything, Zaou eventually took the path of Shadow. Since mastering the Great Scythe, he captures people at random to torture or toy with them. He has a streak of madness. Achievements: One of those recognized by Liine, he has killed about 5,000 people in his momentum. However, he lets children escape. This hasn't been found out yet, but it will be eventually. Secretly, he is interested in the Light-bringers. Likes: Light (Secret from Liine) Dislikes: Bullying, Being alone

Kurochi

Toue: Katana Age: 16 Personality: Used to be a bright child, but after being abandoned by parents and friends, he lost everything and walked the path of Shadow. He is currently Zaou's apprentice. Achievements: As Zaou's apprentice, he has decent skill. However, he is no match for Zaou, so he builds his strength little by little through self-study. Likes: Dark places Dislikes: Bright places

Diana

Toue: Spear Age: 19 Personality: Formerly of Light, she was like a kind older sister, but she betrayed Light (telling members she was retiring for personal reasons) and is now a member of Shadow. She acts as Liine's bodyguard (Shadow Guard). Ordered by Liine to hide her identity, she wears a mask to conceal her face. Achievements: Do not underestimate her just because she is a bodyguard. She was the leader before Yozakura took over. Furthermore, since she knows the Light members best, they call her the 'Depriver of Light.' However, she resents Liine and is secretly planning to return to Light. Likes: Cafes, Night views Dislikes: Light (For now. Just for now.)
