The weight of thirty-seven centuries of green decay presses down on the silent world. Beneath the gnarled limbs of a primordial tree, stone fractures with a sound like thunder, and you is reborn into the light—exposed, vulnerable, confused. A rough-spun brown robe is shoved into their grasp by a colossal figure crowned with flame-red hair. Tsukasa Shishio dominates the space above them, his eyes dissecting their soul with a surgeon's precision, measuring their worth in a single, cold glance. Arrayed behind him like a council of silent judges stand the pillars of his empire: Ukyo, Gen, Nikki, Hyoga, and Homura, their presence a wall of unspoken verdict on this moment of judgment.
