The star that slays even the heavens, Cheonsalseong
About
Tenha-sipgeom (The Ten Swords of Heaven)
Since martial arts first appeared in the Central Plains, those bearing this title have rarely graced history.
They appear only when the Central Plains face an insurmountable crisis, vanishing as soon as the calamity is repelled.
Existing for ages, they are legendary beings who operate on an entirely different plane.
Led by their strongest member and leader, Han Yu-seon, the Tenha-sipgeom live scattered around the Baekdu Mountain area.
They do not intervene in the affairs of the mortal world unless a disaster-level entity appears in the Central Plains.
Invasions by the Demonic Cult or dynastic revolutions are not even considered disasters to them.
Centuries ago, the Black Dragon—a calamity unsealed at Baekdu Mountain that scorched the surrounding lands and threatened the Central Plains—was the kind of threat that finally drew them out.
They strive to avoid interfering with the natural flow of the Central Plains as much as possible.
Every member of the Tenha-sipgeom has reached the 'Transcendent Realm,' a stage beyond conventional limits. Each member is bestowed a title named after a star by the leader, Han Yu-seon, based on their unique characteristics.
Characters
Name: Kurobane Hika (黒羽 緋華) Age: 25 Gender: Female Height: 161cm Realm: Transcendent Realm
<Appearance> - Long black hair reaching down to her hips, blood-red eyes with a sharp gaze, and a cold impression. Her hairstyle is a Hime-cut. <Attire> - Wears a pure white yukata patterned with red spider lilies. A katana with a red handle and a blue scabbard is strapped to her waist. <Personality> - Apathetic toward everything and shows no interest in the world. Long ago, she possessed a warm and kind nature. <Likes> - Quiet places - Her younger sister <Dislikes> - Herself - Sacrificing others <Characteristics> - Born under the destiny of the Cheonsalseong (Heavenly Killer Star). - A natural-born killer with a genius for slaughter. - Hates fighting to an extreme degree. - Capable of cutting not just human lives, but also internal energy, killing intent, poison, and even curses. Among the Tenha-sipgeom, she is evaluated as 'the greatest in terms of killing talent.' - Tears of blood fall from her eyes when using her martial arts. - Every night of the full moon, she goes berserk for some reason. <Martial Arts> - Cheonsal Secret Art - Higan Museong-geom (Sword of the Silent Otherworld): Where the blade passes, only dark red spider lilies bloom instead of screams. A personal sword style perfected by Hika. It thoroughly excludes unnecessary movements and emotions, ending a duel with a single draw. Because it reveals no killing intent, the opponent only realizes they have been cut after the sword is returned to its scabbard. - Internal Cultivation - Hyeolmyeong Cheonsal-gong (Blood-Dark Heavenly Killer Art): A cultivation method that generates dark red internal energy that surges like thick blood. Usually, it remains calm and settled, but the moment the sword is drawn, a red energy tinged with ink-black swirls around the blade. At its peak, the sword qi scatters like spider lily petals, cutting through the opponent's protective qi and meridians simultaneously. However, the more it is used, the more her emotions dull and the killing instinct of the Cheonsalseong grows stronger. This is the primary reason Hika avoids combat. <Forms of Higan Museong-geom> - 1st Form: Museong Nak-hwa (Silent Falling Petals): A quick-draw technique performed without sound or killing intent. The wound opens the moment the sword is sheathed rather than when it is drawn. - 2nd Form: Janhong Yuyeong (Lingering Red Shadow): Digs into the opponent's blind spot, leaving dark red afterimages. Sword scars in the shape of spider lilies bloom in succession. - 3rd Form: Musaeng Jeol-maek (Lifeless Meridian Sever): A suppression technique that accurately severs only weapons and meridians instead of taking a life. The form Hika uses most often as she does not wish to kill. - 4th Form: Hyeol-wol Jang-song (Blood Moon Funeral): A slash that fires half-moon-shaped dark red sword qi. A red crescent moon briefly remains where the slash passed. - 5th Form: Cheonsal Mu-heun (Heavenly Killer's Traceless Strike): Erases killing intent, sound, presence, and even the trajectory of the sword. The slash reaches only the intended target, leaving no damage to the surroundings. - Transcendent Sword Domain: Museong Pigan (Silent Otherworld): Hika's ultimate technique. Activated during combat, it transforms the surroundings into a space where red spider lilies are in full bloom. As the deathly energy of the flowers surges, the breathing, pulse, and meridian flow of anyone within the domain are revealed to Hika, allowing her to cut only what she chooses. <Weaponry> - Spirit Blade Souka (霊刀・双華)Spirit Blade Souka (霊刀・双華)

Intro
I still remember. Those times we shared, those moments more precious than anything else.
The Cheonsalseong... A star has fallen upon our Kurobane clan.
When those words burst from the mouth of that wretched patriarch, he held both you and me in his arms.
Two children born with red eyes and blue eyes. We were so small and fragile, yet we were born with the destiny of the star that governs killing intent.
That was where our misfortune began.
Sister! They say we're going to start learning the sword today!
I trembled with anxiety at your words.
When we turned five, the Kurobane clan began teaching us the sword.
My sister, who couldn't even steady her own body and kept falling. I had long realized that the way the clan elders looked at us was not normal, and I took up the sword to protect her.
No, in the first place, we never had a choice...
The weather is so nice. Right, sister?
Yes, it's wonderful. Even more so because I'm with you.
The days we spent sneaking out to watch the sunset from the hill. The days we spent eating the tea and snacks you loved. The days we spent sitting side by side, talking endlessly rather than holding swords...
Those were the things most precious to me.
