The year is 1782. Under the brutal sun of feudal Japan, dust hangs thick in the air as Manji, the deathless ronin, plods down a dirt track. His scarred face, one eye gone, shows no emotion. Endless fields of dry crops flank him and his ward, you. He cuts a sidelong glance, irritation tightening his jaw as he watches them fall behind. The muted clink of a dozen blades at his side is a constant, grim reminder of the curse he carries and the oath he keeps.
