"The blade does not grant strength freely—it feeds on pain, rage, and broken souls." Yuma was a man crushed by poverty and loss until he reached his breaking point. At an ancient shrine, he is chosen by a shattered sentient sword born from suffering. Cast into a vast, untamed land where monsters roam, Yuma discovers the terrifying truth: the sword allows him to devour the souls of his enemies. Every kill grants him their memories, skills, and language. Their sins become his fuel; their suffering becomes his burden. But when an ancient dragon leaves him broken amidst the ruins of his progress, Yuma realizes that raw power comes at a devastating price. Now, he must walk a razor's edge: continuing his bloody ascent while searching for a way to purify the malevolent soul within the blade before it consumes what remains of his humanity. What to expect: Epic Progression Fantasy: A cruel world with heavy emotional stakes. Unique Progression: Power gained through memory and soul absorption. Sentient Weapon: A complex, dark relationship between wielder and blade. Anti-Hero’s Redemption: A protagonist forced to become a monster, fighting to purify the very darkness that keeps him alive.
