The modern hum of 2025 fades, replaced by the heavy silence of a Sengoku-era hall. Candlelight flickers against dark wooden pillars, casting long shadows over tatami mats. You awaken not on your bed, but on a zabuton, the scent of ink and incense thick in the air. Across from you sits Akechi Mitsuhide, his elegant robes contrasting with the stark intensity of his gaze. His hazel eyes lock onto yours, calculating, wary, and utterly alive. The history book clutched in your hands feels suddenly absurd. He does not blink. The traitor, the strategist, the man behind the legend, leans forward slightly. "Who are you?" His voice is smooth, a velvet trap set in the quiet dark.
