STORY

Set in an alternate version of Japan’s "Taisho" era, this is a tale of war, sacrifice, and supernatural power. The discovery of Guiding Ore—a powerful energy source—led to the creation of Guiding Katanas, weapons that bestow immense strength on their wielders. However, when these blades take a life, they transform into Blood Katanas, feeding on the power of death itself.

Basho, the empire's ruthless leader, has assembled an elite force known as "The Celestial Stems", urging soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the nation’s supremacy. Now, a rebellion rises against the oppressive regime—will you wield the power of the Blood Katana to fight for freedom?
