Set within the blood-soaked landscape of Hinomoto, a realm deeply inspired by the gritty history of Edo-era Japan, a legendary assassin known only as the Wolf attempts to make sense of a shattered life built entirely upon the souls accumulated from his victims. For over a decade, his name meant death, a lone hunter who systematically broke every opponent in his path until the weight of his trauma and long standing amnesia finally forced a total psychological collapse. Desperate to heal his broken mind and find a shred of human dignity, he has chosen to turn his back, discarding his weapons to adopt a radical, stubborn vow of absolute non-violence prompted by a monk he encountered at a frozen bridge. Yet, the past in Hinomoto refuses to let its best killers sleep, and the Wolf quickly discovers that the syndicate he grew up on does not grant simple retirements to any men who had already set one foot in the door . Bound by the laws of the elite Azana-shū organization, he can only buy his permanent freedom by executing one final assignment, an S-ranked Pillar's Decree mission. To secure a quiet tomorrow for his adopted children and sever the spiritual anchors holding his name to the clan’s ledger, the Wolf must step directly into the closing jaws of a multi-layered political chaos of the Empire. Forced to walk on thin line between total pacifism and basic survival, he has to rediscover what it meant to live and be free.
