A boy that already existed and who unknowingly possess a powerful soul, witnessed the start of the next era, the one caused by the supposed death of Utsu Harukaze. He somehow finds a powerful sword. It could be Utsu’s golden katana or the weapon Izanami once wielded and Utsu used it to kill Izanami. Somehow, this boy eats the sword. When he woke up, he died, and the soul of Izanami took over his body. Izanami think that he is that boy, because the only memories he has are the ones of that boy. That boy had no magic, but Izanami has. This boy occasionally comes back to the story and appears in Izanami’s dream or when Izanami is about to die and encourage him to not give up. When he came back to his village, it was destroyed by a specific type of monster that was created from the ashes of the Izanami from the last book. He was about to die, when he got saved by Yueqin. Yueqin put him in her orphanage that belong to the Academy. He remind her of Utsu, so she wants him to call her big sister. The look is still undecided. He could have orange hair. Kinda like it. His alter or whatever is like Itadori. It is not fully mastered and only happen maybe during meditation, battles or whatever.

Sukui has this tendency to say something correct when he doesn’t mean to say it correctly, then realizing what he said is correct but saying”Damn, and I realized how correct I am.”. For exemple, he called Inori a workaholic and trouble magnet.

Could change a bit his family. Name so that it could mean infinity. He could have no specific magic and only superhuman capabilities and weapons. Not the ones he got at the start.

Sukui Hayashi: Character Profile and Abilities

Name: Sukui Hayashi

Age: 16 years old

Races: Elf, Kitsune, Shapeshifter

Appearance: Sukui has a youthful appearance with features that subtly hint at his mixed heritage. He has sharp, slightly pointed ears that become more pronounced when he’s embarrassed or under stress, revealing his elf lineage. His hair is a mix of natural tones, reflecting his Kitsune heritage, and can change color slightly due to his shapeshifter abilities. He often maintains a human appearance but has the potential to reveal his true form under certain conditions.

Background: Sukui was an ordinary boy with no magical abilities, living a simple life. However, his fate changed dramatically when he found shards of Utsu’s golden katana and Izanami’s dark sword. Consuming these shards, Sukui unknowingly fused their powers within himself, transforming him into a powerful being with unique abilities. Initially unaware of his true identity and the full extent of his powers, Sukui’s journey is one of self-discovery and gradual realization of his potential.

Sword style: The blade that cut not material things, but immaterial things

Swordkill Abilities

1. Pocket Dimension: Sukui has access to a personal pocket dimension where he can store and retrieve his weapons instantly.

2. Weapon Healing: He can heal and restore his weapons using his innate energy, ensuring they remain in prime condition.

3. Weapon Ego: His primary weapon, the fused sword, possesses an ego. This sentient aspect assists Sukui in battle, offering guidance and occasionally taking control to protect him.

5. Inherited Experience: Sukui benefits from the battle experiences of previous swordkills, allowing him to access advanced combat techniques instinctively.

6. Dimensional Awareness: Due to the fusion of the two swords, Sukui can sense disturbances in the fabric of reality and interact safely with dimensional rifts.

7      Can change the size and shape of his weapon because he has the pieces of those weapon. Not the weapon as a whole. Permitting him for cunning tactic, but weak blade. 

Chrono-Kinetic Magic

1. Temporal Manipulation: Sukui can accelerate, decelerate, or briefly rewind time for objects and small areas around him. This allows for complex combat maneuvers and strategic advantages.

2. Kinetic Redirection: He can manipulate the speed and momentum of objects, making projectiles faster or slower, or even redirecting them mid-flight.

3. Time Distortion Fields: Sukui can create zones where time flows differently, providing tactical advantages in battle or allowing for rapid healing and regeneration.

4. Energy Transfer: He can absorb and redirect kinetic energy, using it to power his attacks or enhance his physical abilities.

5. Temporal Awareness: Sukui has an innate sense of temporal anomalies and can detect shifts in the timeline or the presence of other temporal manipulators.

Personality and Role

Personality: Sukui is a resilient and determined individual. Despite the extraordinary circumstances of his transformation, he remains humble and grounded. Initially unaware of the full extent of his abilities, Sukui gradually uncovers the truth about his identity and powers. His experiences teach him the value of perseverance and the importance of using his abilities responsibly. He is kind-hearted and protective, often going out of his way to help others, driven by a deep sense of justice and the desire to make amends for the actions of his past life as Izanami (learn very much later that he is the reincarnation of Izanami)

Role in the Story: Sukui’s journey is one of redemption and self-discovery. As he learns to master his newfound abilities, he strives to use them for the greater good, repairing the damage caused by his previous incarnation. His dual abilities make him a formidable ally and a key player in the ongoing battle against the forces that threaten his world. Through his interactions with others, Sukui gradually uncovers the true potential of his powers and the deeper mysteries of his existence. He wrote a diary, so that he would he able to tell his life to his parents his story when he dies.

Absolutely, combining both Izanami and Utsu’s sword shards would add an interesting layer to the story. Here’s a revised scenario incorporating both swords:

### The Curious Incident of the Sword Shards

1. **The Discovery:**

   Sukui, a curious and adventurous boy, often explores the forest near his village. One day, while exploring deeper than usual, he stumbles upon a hidden cave. Inside the cave, he finds remnants of an ancient battle, with broken weapons and armor scattered around.

2. **The Enchanted Shards:**

   Among the debris, Sukui notices peculiar fragments of two swords—one radiating a faint, golden glow (Utsu’s katana) and the other a dark, ominous aura (Izanami’s sword). Unbeknownst to him, these are the shattered pieces of the legendary weapons used in a great battle.

3. **The Compelling Aura:**

   Intrigued by the contrasting energies, Sukui picks up a few shards from each sword. The magical energies start to react, sensing a compatible soul. The golden shards from Utsu’s katana feel warm and inviting, while the dark shards from Izanami’s sword emit a strange, compelling void energy.

4. **The Accident:**

   While examining the shards, Sukui's stomach growls loudly. It's been a long day of exploration, and he's quite hungry. Absentmindedly, he wipes his dirty hands on his shirt, transferring a faint magical residue from the shards to his fingers. When he later eats some food, the residue from Izanami’s sword accidentally gets ingested.

5. **The Void Hunger:**

   The void particles from Izanami’s sword interact with his body, creating a sense of emptiness and insatiable hunger. Compelled by this unnatural hunger, Sukui, in a daze, starts consuming small, easily swallowable fragments of both swords.

6. **The Enchanted Meal:**

   As he consumes the shards, the magical energies from both swords begin to merge within his body. The golden energy from Utsu’s katana and the dark energy from Izanami’s sword combine, causing a powerful transformation.

7. **The Transformation:**

   Overwhelmed by the merging energies, Sukui collapses. When he wakes up, he feels different. The magical energy from the swords has fused with his being, connecting him to both Utsu and Izanami’s souls. Though he remains unaware of the full extent of what has happened, he starts experiencing dreams and visions of their past.

8. **The Awakening:**

   The combined energies give him new abilities and a connection to powerful and semi-useless in most occasions magic if you don’t think out   of the box. However, the void energy occasionally triggers intense hunger, a reminder of the dark power he has ingested. Sukui now possesses a unique blend of the two swords’ powers, making him a key figure in the unfolding story.

### Narrative Integration

This revised scenario integrates both Utsu and Izanami’s sword shards, explaining the compelling hunger effect and setting up Sukui’s transformation in a way that ties deeply into the lore of the world. It also adds complexity to his character, as he carries the dual legacy of both legendary figures.

The Voidspawn

Name: The Voidspawn

Appearance: The Voidspawn is a grotesque and terrifying creature, its form constantly shifting and writhing as if made from shadows and darkness itself. They could look like the tatie of the wall of China movie. It has a semi-solid, almost amorphous body that can change shape and size, making it difficult to predict its movements. The creature is covered in countless tendrils and spikes that protrude from its body, each one capable of piercing through the toughest armor. Its eyes, if they can be called that, are glowing voids of pure darkness, emanating an unsettling and malevolent aura.

Abilities:

1. Void Absorption: The Voidspawn can absorb the essence of any living being it kills, adding their strength and abilities to its own. This makes it grow stronger with each victim, constantly evolving and adapting.

2. Shapeshifting: Its amorphous body allows it to change shape at will, creating weapons, shields, and other forms to suit its needs in combat. It can also compress itself to slip through narrow spaces or expand to cover large areas.

3. Shadow Manipulation: The Voidspawn can control shadows, using them to create decoys, traps, or even as weapons to strike at its enemies. It can blend into the darkness, becoming nearly invisible.

4. Dimensional Rift: Drawing on its void heritage, the Voidspawn can open small rifts in the fabric of reality, allowing it to teleport short distances or summon lesser void creatures to aid it in battle.

5. Psychic Terror: Its mere presence induces fear and despair in those around it, weakening the resolve and fighting spirit of its enemies. It can also project terrifying visions into the minds of its victims, causing them to experience their worst fears.

Behavior: The Voidspawn is an intelligent and cunning predator, often lurking in the shadows and striking when least expected. It revels in chaos and destruction, leaving a trail of devastation wherever it goes. Despite its monstrous appearance, it is capable of strategic thinking, using its abilities to outmaneuver and overwhelm its foes.

Control: While the Voidspawn appears to act autonomously, its actions are influenced by the remnants of Izanami’s will embedded within its essence. This subconscious drive pushes it to seek out and destroy, serving as a lingering echo of the void dragon god’s malevolence.

Backstory: The Voidspawn was inadvertently created upon the death of Izanami, the void dragon god. As Izanami perished, fragments of his essence scattered across the world, coalescing into these monstrous entities. These fragments inherited the void’s destructive capabilities and a primal instinct to consume and annihilate.

Role in the Story: The Voidspawn’s attack on Sukui’s village occurs due to the absence of the protective swords that Sukui unknowingly consumed. The shards of Utsu’s golden katana and Izanami’s weapon once served as a barrier against such void-born entities. With these shards now integrated into Sukui, the village was left vulnerable to the Voidspawn’s assault. This devastating event drives Sukui on his journey, pushing him to uncover the truth about his abilities and the mysterious connection to Izanami and Utsu. As Sukui learns more about his past lives and the powers he has inherited, he must confront the Voidspawn and ultimately seek to end the chaos it spreads.

This version of the Voidspawn ties directly into Sukui’s personal journey, making the creature not only a physical threat but also a symbolic representation of the past he must confront and overcome.

The Voidspawn and Sukui’s Torment

Voidspawn Backstory: The Voidspawn were created from the remnants of the void dragon god Izanami upon his death. These creatures, driven solely by primal instinct, embody the void’s insatiable hunger and destructive capabilities. While they act independently, their existence is intrinsically linked to the essence of Izanami.

Connection to Sukui: Unbeknownst to Sukui, his consumption of the swords containing shards of Utsu’s golden katana and Izanami’s weapon bound him to the Voidspawn. This connection manifests as the Voidspawn’s instinctual sins transferring to Sukui. When he realizes his true identity as the reincarnation of Izanami, these sins begin to plague him, causing him nightmares and sudden, paralyzing freezes. These episodes are manifestations of the guilt, rage, and other dark emotions associated with Izanami’s past deeds.

Nightmares and Freezes: The sins of the Voidspawn affect Sukui in various ways:

• Nightmares: Sukui is haunted by vivid and terrifying dreams of destruction and chaos wrought by Izanami. These dreams are so intense that he often wakes up in a cold sweat, struggling to distinguish reality from the horrors of his past life.

• Sudden Freezes: During moments of stress or confrontation, Sukui occasionally experiences sudden, debilitating freezes. These episodes are triggered by flashes of Izanami’s memories, leaving him temporarily immobilized and vulnerable.

Sukui’s Realization and Liberation: As Sukui embarks on his journey, he gradually uncovers the truth about his past life as Izanami. The realization brings a heavy burden, with the sins of the Voidspawn intensifying their grip on him. However, through his experiences and the support of his allies, Sukui begins to understand that he is not defined by his past.

• Acceptance and Rejection: In a climactic moment of self-acceptance, Sukui confronts his inner demons and declares that he is no longer Izanami but Sukui. This profound declaration symbolizes his rejection of the past and his commitment to forging his own path. As he speaks these words, the sins that once plagued him dissipate, leaving him free from their torment.

• Transfer of Sins: The sins, now untethered from Sukui, seek out a new host. They are drawn towards the hidden mastermind behind the Voidspawn, the true orchestrator of the chaos and destruction. This transfer of sins weakens the mastermind, exposing them to Sukui’s final confrontation.

Resolution: With the sins no longer affecting him, Sukui gains a newfound clarity and strength. He sets out to defeat the mastermind, determined to put an end to the Voidspawn’s reign of terror. His journey becomes not only a battle against external forces but also a testament to his inner growth and redemption.

This addition enriches Sukui’s character arc, emphasizing themes of self-acceptance, redemption, and the rejection of a dark past to embrace a brighter future.

When people first found a way to counter the voidspawns, a demigod interfered and thought out loud that it would be fun and interesting to create a race of creatures that only attack those who hunt voidspawns and voidspawn. He told the leader of the voidspawn hunting corps who just discovered that most voidspawns are controlled by a unknown being, that if they(the humans) kills all Kumihos(Korean version of kitsune), kitsunes that can turn humans if they eat 1000 humans. Then he will personally kill all voidspawn. However, if the voidspawns kill all Kumihos, then he will kill all humans. In reality, that demigod decided to create this game in order to insure that the voidspawn won’t immediately die, since he need to find and protect Izanami’s soul before the humans somehow manage to accidentally get it. But he didn’t know that Izanami’s soul was in Izanami’s katana, that now reside in the body of a boy named Sukui Hayashi. Only the high ranking members of the voidbanes know this info.

Voidbanes is what you call a person that hunts voidspawn

I think that it is a good idea to call the people who received some of Utsu’s powers upon his sacrifice(Utsu’s accidentally made his power go into other’s people’s body upon his fake death) striking shadows. Because Utsu’s name mean strike and these people are living in his shadow. Remember, people do dumb stuff, so the people are so dependant on Utsu’s legacy(much to his and his close one’s dismay), that they put all of their hopes on the striking shadows and assumed that Utsu gave them his power in order to finish what he didn’t and kill all remaining voidspawn.

Hadeki put wet towel on his eyes, his back on the back of the chair and resting. Then, he put some on his mouth, then make a pile of towel.

Ryota always drink tea when he want to hide his facial expression.

Sukui Hayashi, Inori Hoshizora and perhaps a Kumiho(probably best option) are in a trio. Inori is the one who has to make sure that the other 2 do not get into trouble, even though she is the one that always attracts trouble, not that she wants to. On missions, voidbanes are always in teams of 3, 2 of them attacking the voidspaws, and the last one use the excuse of making sure that the veil summoned by a totem that does some stuff won’t fall. In reality, this third members is actually making sure that no Kumiho will interfere. This only happen for the lower ranked voidbanes and there are 2 types of higher ranked voidbanes: the bureaucracy ones and the shadows one. The shadows one are those that faked their own high level status and work alongs the lower ranked ones. They sometimes have other jobs like doctor of spy or whatever. They also hold more information about both Kumihos and Voidspawns. They regularly go on expeditions to fight Kumihos. The bureaucratic ones are the image of the Voidbanes and pretend to be the higher ranked one, taking care of mission assignments and paperwork’s. the leader or leaders are an absolute mystery and he is related to the second floor students. One time, when the trio were eating in a cafe or whatever, they were attacked by an cult that worships Utsu and they wanted to capture all striking shadows in order to “revive” him. They used striking shadows aura or whatever to find some, but they had mistaken Sukui with a striking shadow, since he had accidentally taken or copied the aura or whatever of Inori, the real striking shadow. Inori had obtained Utsu’s eyes, allowing her to see and communicate with dead people. She can also see people’s soul. 

”

Izanami think that he is Sukui and he has no memory as Izanami. His alter has no attributes yet since he still doesn’t know who he truly is. That is one of the biggest requirements for getting your alter an attribute. Even after getting the 2 sword, he still had no attribute. He also couldn’t get those 2 sword yet. Could you also write the whole Voidbanes vs Kumihos vs Voidsapwns thing? And how the voidspanw organization work. Also, suggest backstories for that third member of Sukui’s trio. And is the name striking shadows good? Write what you think of that name, give more suggestions on the names and what you think of them.

The third member of the trio could be a Kumiho who was lost by birth and never knew his parents. He had tried to get adopted by human families in a racist(he didn’t know) peaceful random village, but once he grew his Kumiho ears and tail, he was bullied and rejected for being a monster by the village. He had tried to die in order to reincarnate by getting hit by thunder, but only survived and learned how to control his new power: energy absorption and release. Or maybe thunder manipulation and consommation. Whoever fit more the theme of Kumiho. He got unconscious after trying to defend that very village from some voidspawns. Why? Well, because it was the first place he ever made some happy memories. He became unconscious after killing all voidspawn. He woke up in a hospital, made for the Voidbanes. He then got greeted by a high ranking bureaucratic member of the Voidbanes, another Kumiho like him who was raised by the Voidbanes. This particular Kumiho is actually a former nemesis of the Voidbanes, but then lost all of her memories and got picked up by the Voidbanes, who weren’t aware of her former identity. They thought it would be a good idea, after learning her former identity, to raise her as their own weapon. But then, the first disciple of one of the strongest Voidbanes met her, and they became friends. This boy is currently a high ranking member just like her and they are boyfriend girlfriend since childhood aka the first time they met each other.

Ryuji is not the one who became that high ranking Kumiho’s boyfriend. It was another human who lost his family in the mists of a voidspaws invasion.

Ryuji is not the one who became that high ranking Yuna’s boyfriend. It was another human who lost his family in the mists of a voidspaws invasion. He is also a person who loves fighting, since it gave him the same energy athletes get when getting into the zone. Lie, when they are focus on their activity. He loves adventure, making him in the trio the one that is always making trouble. Also, could you change Yuna’s name? Make it sound more like that of a Kumiho.

As a reminder, most Voidspawn do not know the existence of voidspawns. Only the higher ranked ones know about them. Oh yeah, and one time, when the trio visit Ryuji’s village, it was completely infested with Voidspawns and no surviver. This could make Ryuji get into trauma and character’s development. They didn’t fight the voidspawns and only called reinforcements. When they were going to fight, Ryuji immediately recognized one of the voidspawns as a former villager and stopped all reinforcements to kill the voidspawns, getting himself hurt in the process. After capturing those voidspawns, it was realized that they were actually regular people turned into voidspawns. Oh, and the human that dates Saejin is called Hiro and he is not part of the trio. He is not the one who loves fighting, it is Ryuji. He instead love his girlfriend, his family and other undecided things.

No, only that demigod wants to get Izanami’ essence. All higher ranked Kumiho remember a message passed to them at their birth and it is a message of that demigod, telling them to get him back Izanami’s soul, and he will owe them a favour. Also, Ryuji and Saejin share a sibling bond, with Saejin being the elder sister. They decided to share the same family. I want it to mean the word overcome since they overcome their own tragedies and obstacles.

I have an idea for the leader of the voidbanes’s origin.(Voidbanes vs. Kumihos vs. Voidspawns Conflict

The conflict between the Voidbanes, Kumihos, and Voidspawns is at the core of this world’s tension. Each faction has its own goals and motivations, creating a complex, multi-layered struggle for power, survival, and domination.

Voidbanes

The Voidbanes are a secretive organization dedicated to hunting down and eliminating Voidspawn, monstrous creatures born from Izanami’s essence after his death. While most people believe the Voidbanes exist only to rid the world of these dangerous creatures, their true mission is more complex. Some of the highest-ranking Voidbanes are aware of the deeper connection between the Voidspawn and Izanami’s soul, which is currently residing within Sukui.

The Voidbanes operate with a strict hierarchy:

• Lower-Ranked Voidbanes: Teams of three, where two members engage in direct combat with the Voidspawn, and the third member is ostensibly tasked with ensuring the safety of the battle veil (a magical shield summoned by a totem to keep Voidspawn contained during fights). In reality, this third member’s true role is to ensure that Kumihos (Korean versions of Kitsune) do not interfere.

• High-Ranked Voidbanes: This elite group is split into two factions:

1. Bureaucrats: These Voidbanes manage the missions, paperwork, and maintain the organization’s public image.

2. Shadows: These are undercover Voidbanes who work among lower-ranked Voidbanes while secretly gathering intel on both Voidspawn and Kumihos. They also occasionally lead expeditions to hunt down Kumihos, who they see as a threat to their mission.

The leader of the Voidbanes is an enigmatic figure, whose identity remains a mystery even to high-ranking members. This leader has a secret agenda, which may involve using the Voidspawn for their own gain or finding a way to harness their power.) he is a person, talentless at magic. He possess the control magic, but is so weak, that he can only control a person if that person allows themself to be controlled, or something similar. He is one of the few people who were present to learn about the who voidbanes vs voidspawns vs Kumihos war thing. He knew that he is one of the few people who understood the value of that informatio, so in order to make himself think more highly of himself and to become better, for the sake of humanity, he acted fast, with a plan. He pretended the fact that he was a person sent by the second floor student(students of the strongest and wisest person in the world, and it is his 13th students that caused this whole new era) and that he is the chosen one that is going to guide the people to destroy the voidspawns. He knew that no one dared to say that he isn’t what he claimed to be since they are to scared to face the wrath of the second floor student in case that he actually is chosen by them. But he knew that this lie would only last to him a few days, but he knew that he had gathered the attention of the second floor students. So he waited for them to come to him, in order to know why he shouted out that lie. Once he met them, he explained to them his plan on creating an organization to defeat both the voidspawn and the Kumihos without the people ever knowing the existence of the Kumiho. This granted him the favour of the second floor students, making them interested in him enough to grant him their assistance and blessing. With their name in his arsenal, he was able to create that organization. Since he is one of a few people that is aware of the existence of the Kumiho, he recruited every one of them to become the “shadow” of this organization and shared them his secret of his entire life. He also made a rule in his organization, that every new recruit must make a vow publicly in front of their superior that make them promise that as long as they are a Voidbane, their entire being belongs to the leader since trust is the most important factor of the voidbane organizatioN. This allows for the leader to have control over them, since they are voluntary allowing themselves to be under the control of their leader. But, that leader never controls them, but only does if they need to be.years later, that leader became strong enough to be able to read the mind and take a portion of the powers and will of his underlings without them ever knowing.

Euh, no. This organization is public, and it is an organization that on paper, only hunt voidspawn. But in reality, it fight both voidspawn and Kumihos that are creature ordered by their creator demigod to only attack voidbanes and voidspawns. here is more important info:”Given the new details, here’s how I would refine the story, character dynamics, and family name:

### **Demigod’s Role and the Kumiho Mission**

The **demigod** is the true orchestrator behind the hunt for Izanami's essence. All higher-ranked Kumihos are born with a message implanted in their minds, a message from this demigod instructing them to retrieve Izanami’s soul. In return for bringing back the soul of the void dragon god, the demigod promises to grant the Kumiho a favor—an offer that could shift the balance of power in their favor. This mission has been passed down through generations of Kumihos, creating a secret, almost sacred obligation for those who remember the message.

However, the higher-ranked Kumihos are left to their own devices on how to fulfill this mission. Some pursue the task eagerly, seeing the favor as a way to gain great power or influence, while others, like **Saejin**, have mixed feelings about it. Saejin, who has formed a sibling bond with **Ryuji**, is less interested in fulfilling the demigod’s command and more focused on living her life and protecting those she cares about.

### **Ryuji and Saejin’s Sibling Bond**

The bond between **Ryuji** and **Saejin** is central to their characters. They share a deep, sibling-like connection, with **Saejin** taking on the role of the protective older sister. Both have experienced trauma and rejection in their lives—Ryuji from the village that abandoned him, and Saejin from her own loss of identity and being raised by the Voidbanes after losing her memory.

Through these shared struggles, they decided to forge a new family together, symbolically overcoming their respective tragedies. They take on the same family name, which reflects their shared journey of survival, growth, and overcoming obstacles.

### **Family Name Suggestions (Meaning "Overcome")**

Here are a few names for their shared family that convey the meaning of "overcome":

1. **Katsu** (勝): This Japanese name means “victory” or “overcome,” reflecting their triumph over adversity.

2. **Seungri** (승리): A Korean name meaning “victory,” it has a similar connotation of overcoming challenges.

3. **Taejoon** (태준): A Korean name meaning “great and overcoming,” it adds an extra layer of strength to their bond.

4. **Ittō** (一騎): This Japanese name means “one rider,” often used to symbolize someone who overcomes all challenges alone or with great courage.

5. **Sŏngjae** (성재): A Korean name that could mean “achievement through effort,” reflecting their ability to overcome obstacles.

### **Voidspawn Conflict and Ryuji’s Development**

Ryuji’s bond with Saejin plays an important role in his character development, especially after the events in his village. When the trio arrives at his village and discovers it overrun with Voidspawn, Ryuji’s trauma resurfaces, and it’s Saejin who helps him confront these painful memories.

After recognizing one of the Voidspawn as a former villager, Ryuji’s actions in stopping the reinforcements from killing the Voidspawn show his deep emotional conflict. Though this moment results in Ryuji getting hurt, it’s also a critical point in his growth. He realizes that not all Voidspawn were born monsters and that some of them, like the people in his village, were once human. This revelation forces Ryuji to rethink his approach to fighting and how he views the Voidspawn.

### **Conclusion**

The demigod’s secret agenda, Ryuji and Saejin’s sibling bond, and the revelation that Voidspawn were once regular people all add layers of complexity to the story. The shared family name, symbolizing overcoming hardship, cements the bond between Ryuji and Saejin as they navigate the dangerous world of Voidspawn, Kumihos, and the demigod’s manipulations.”. The idea for this leader’s rise was inspired from the historical figure, Julius CesaR. They have similar way on how they both rised in ranks.

Could this leader be from an actually noble family, but he is despised and spend much time with those socially ranked lower than him, making himself a better image for them, just like Julius? And what are the advantages if this leader would, in my story be a good or bad character? And could you suggest names for him?

Cool quote:”Master of light and darkness. The one who mastered the seen and unseen. Render all visibility invisible and render all invisibility visible. Become one with light and darkness, surpass your only visible limit and achieve your invisible potential!”

Problem with using this power on your eyes is that you could become colourblind. This power could belong to Hiro(Saejin’s boyfriend and student of the current strongest Voidbanes). His alter could be invisibility or darkness, depending which one is more specific.

Alter are spiritual tool born within you at birth. They take away your stamina and in exchange, give you magic. You won’t get an attribute to your magic until you finally become “yourself” and the alter judge you to be able to not accidentally kill yourself using your alter by overuse. All alter have egos, but they won’t reveal their existence until you “awaken” your alter. You can only awaken your alter if your alter think that you can no longer make any new technique with the attribute of your alter. As an easier interpretation, you can say when the user run out of imagination for creating any new technique. It will change your attribute from its former specific attribute to a more general one. For example, one alter used to be thermocline alter, the it awakened to cold alter, allowing the user to already have a specific path to take in order to create more technique thanks to it’s former attribute. The attribute would also rarely be the same or similar to other member of the family, since the attribute all depends on the person, not the bloodline or something based on the bloodline. Which attribute should belong to Hiro, Darkness or invisibility? Which one is more specific?

Strongest member of the Voidbanes and only publicly known one(for public reasons) is Naohiro, who possess 2 alters: one given by a certain future predicting demigod(His name is Wizard) and the one he earned. The first one gave him a vision of a future where what happens if he didn’t exist and the second one is the evolution alter. I am thinking that his first alter could be the vision alter and he only got it because that demigod had a certain plan for him. Could be good, could be bad, could be work related, could be for entertainment reasons. He could have shown only that specific future in order to make that person have more self estime and to see what are the consequence for what happen if there is a person that has seen a maybe fake future(this is related to the job of that demigod). The earned alter, the evolution alter, is an alter that allows Naohiro to constantly evolve and modifie himself and getting adaptations, resistance, immunity and etc. He worked very hard at on this alter since he knows that no one would ever be able to help him improve this power of his. I think it would be better if Naohiro isn’t aware of the existence of his first alter. He eats a lot due to him needing energy for having 2 alters. He could be a shadow bearer, hasn’t decided yet.

I am thinking that that demi god could have given that power and future to Naohiro as one of many experiment in order to know what would happen if a person that is important for the world’s balance saw a unclassified future. But he hit the jackpot with Naohiro since he became the strongest voidbane and a public one at that. That demigod could have then started to kill his other failed experiment for the sake of the world balance(aka they are dangerous and needed to now be removed) and that started an important arc to the story.

I have an idea: after this arc, the first time he find something that this world offered him(It is a new pet, it was actually pretty strong and worthy for being his pet, since they both fought and it managed to find out and bypass Naohiro’s defence. But Naohiro was still stronger so he tamed it.), he said”Guess this world still hasn’t abandoned me!” With a great smile while happily holding his new dog, a magical and powerful female wolf. I decided it to be a female wolf since male wolf are actually impossible to tame. I think that the phrase”Guess this world still hasn’t abandoned me” mean a lot for Naohiro. What do you think?

I think that this symbolize how a bucket list would be helpful for a person who think he was born with everything he ever wanted since birth.

I think that after getting this new dog, he could temporally retire as a Voidbane and visit his girlfriend who is far away at another country or continent. It would also be a time where he let his adoptive son and best disciple, Hiro, to take over the title of strongest Voidbane.

There was a time, either before or after that arc, Naohiro got decapitated and he had the choice to evolve behind humanity and become a monster(maybe a grim reaper) in order to survive. But he chose not to and if this was how he was going to die, he was going to accept while closing his eyes. Then, he heard the sound of adaptation, making him réalise that he was going to get a healing technique. Or maybe this happened twice, the first time he adapted to slashing and the second time he survived decapitation.

One executive of a bad(technically, undecided) king sacrificed himself for that king and getting killed by the main char or stuff. He explain that he cannot let that king die, no matter how corrupt the king is, because the other countries would want to invade and turn all of the citizens into slaves, like the dumbass they are. He did visit the other’s continents, but found it better to keep the continent isolated by the blessing of the wind god(it was a hurricane that just didn’t move). He could be Naohiro’s little brother and future head of their clan. In the alternate future, he was an arrogant and always looking down and angering on his opponent. This continent is my version of Wa(Japan’s ancient name)

The 2 brothers have a great relationship. The younger brother is the first person that Naohiro told his power(the evolution one) to. This power is hard to use and render stronger and more effectif and would 100% of the time need the help of another person. But since Naohiro had seen a vision of the future, he was able to know more about the condition ps of this alter and all kind of modifications. Instead adaptation, forced evolution with the conditions he wants to apply, devolution and etc. He is also the first person tot learn about his future sight, but a lot later, maybe when his brother was like 8 to 10 years old(his brother was more mature than most kids and that is because of his political training, but he still trained his magic and his physic).

All evolution alter user die young and are alone. Only reason they die young is because they either intentionally or accidentally evolved into grim reaper since they are constantly making themselves evolve and they either don’t know or know or mixture.

Naohiro: “I told you I am not going to DIE! I am the most honorable and honorary warrior of this world and I refuse to go out without a BANG!”

God of wind lives on the mountain behind the shogun’s palace and it is a place for refuge. Naohiro knew he existed(due to that future), but never known where he lived, without even a clue. He only found him because that God found him interesting and for his presence. When Naohiro met him, he instantly prostrated to him with so much force, his forehead broke the solid concrete floor. He instantly begged him to believe him and that he isn’t an uncontrollable, chaotic factor of the world and that he will give his absolute being for his country if he has to. But instead of caring about his kind of “unfitting of his character” as that god would describe it, he told Naohiro this:”You know, I have caught wind of this line I like form the outside world:the greatest bow the lowest.” Naohiro immediately got up and, still respectfully since even thought in his previous, he didn’t believe in gods and even loathed them, in this life, he respect and worship this god, he didn’t understand why this god is “lacking the commun sense” to understand the importance of what he just revealed. But the god then did the same thing and explained to Naohiro the pros and cons of pride, suggesting Naohiro to take more pride in his effort, power and gifts. After more talk and when it was time for Naohiro to leave, he bow with his 2 legs on the floor, not prostrating and now unsure of himself. This god is an androgynous harpy who looks female but is male, that came from outside of this continent. By the way, Naohiro’s family belongs to one of the royal clans. This God then decided that he will train Naohiro as an ambassador and diplomat of his country thanks to all of the informations he receive thanks to the wind carrying messages for him. Naohiro accepted him and then accepted him as his master. He harshly learned proper manners since he needs to be respectful, needs to learn how to be a good potential boyfriend to his future girlfriend and he isn’t really that proper like his brother, so it is harder for him to learn manners. He also always put training clothes, so his master decided to one day go buy clothes with him, much to the dismay of everyone due to the risk. But the god didn’t care. Also, what is more specific, air or wind? One of these attribute will be the alter of the god.

Naohiro always thought of himself as the main character after the first time he saw proof of the future being true. But it all changed when he saw Sukui change a supposed unchangeable “evil” psycho “antagonist” that only turned evil since no one ever understood him and had faith in him, into an ally. Sukui was then seeing as the virtue of faith by his friends, then the entire Voidbanes orders

What is a good name for the wind god? Like, one for his actual name and family name, and the other being the magical mythical god of Wa.

Man, I love my character Naohiro so much, I almost cried whilst writing him! Naohiro is Nao + Hiro. Nao being the pet name of Naoto Karasuma, his first student. His second student is the as of now(no other proof) strongest shadow bearers, Null. His third(third time a charm) student is [insert a name that start with Hiro, and Hiroshi might not be a good name depending of it’s meaning], Hiro for short. Naohiro always wanted a student that is capable of taking his torch as the strongest Voidbanes and that is capable of passing that torch. Naohiro named his horse after his master’s Neal name: Kazetora. I think that it would be symbolic if Naohiro’s brother’s alter is also the wind alter. I like this idea. His master is also his and his other sibling’s god mother/father. Unlike most of the other Voidbanes who call the leader “master”, he calls the leader “boss”. He doesn’t call him leader, he call the shogun “leader” and stuff.

I would like a suggestion for Naohiro’s brother’s name, along with their family name. I think that I would want a family name that reflet their “freedom” and how they are warrior who would go crazy, whilst still honorable during battles, but pride isn’t really a thing for them. Naohiro, being the only prideful one, difference him from the rest of his family. His family is also one of the royal clans that serve the shogun. Like, a name like the Zenin from Jujutsu Kaisen as they were the inspiration for his family.

I think I will go with the family name “Akakumo” and I think that Haruki is a good name but I kind of still like the name Hayato. I have an idea: his original name was supposed to be Hayato, but due to the existence of Naohiro, Naohiro, wanting his brother to be different from the one in that alternate future, asked his parents to name his brother Haruki instead, as he will be the “tree” that will grow to support the Brie that want a nest and the kids who would want to climb on that tree.

Pffffft, hahaha! I wanted to write Arakumo for the family name, but accidentally placed an K instead of an R! Hahaha! But I really like Akakumo. Really do. Also, Naohiro lie, to call the main character(Sukui) Potential man number 2 because he is a ball of potential. The number one is a member of his family that was born with the clan’s best possible alter and he is what Naohiro call: a ball of potential with a nuke attached to his back, since he has a kamikaze(suicide) technique like all samouraï of Wa, but his is an unstoppable and indestructible force. Haven’t really decided what it is, need it to still be related to his family. I am also thinking of giving more siblings to Naohiro that in the alternative future, had no one to rely on, but in this future, they had Haruki to “climb” on unlike in the alternate future where he laughed at them for being so high up(he was a falcon, get it? And this time, he is a supporting tree.)

Naohiro passed down the blue sword of cleansing flame of salvation to Null, who passed it down to Shiro. Naohiro still remember when he had a best friend(who died to the leader of voidspawn) and his girlfriend, then sees this trio in Hiro, Saejin and Kenji(the trio is 2 lover, this case being Hiro and Saejin and then the best/first friend), then Sukui, Inori and Ryuji(Sukui and Inori are lovers). Kazetora gifted Naohiro a floating infinite page book that automatically write down and draw anything on Naohiro’s mind that he wants to write down. This book is to help Naohiro with his stressful situation of future predicting. He also wrote thousands of notes in his room, so many, that it is an absolute mess and he ordered the maids to not clean his room and only him will clean it.

Strongest shadowbearer(Not Null):“What a jumbled mess! You and me! The Voidbanes and their divine totem! The voidspawn and their pathetic queen ant! The Kumihos and their divine master! This war will be the most chaotic and masterful mess recorded in history! What do you have to say about that? Tell me, strongest Voidbane in history, Naohiro Akakumo!”

There are many continents in my world. One being called heaven’s wrath, because everyone who tried to go there never came back. The only one who came back said that it was a land blessed by heaven and immediately died to thunder. Hence, why the name heaven’s wrath. It was also the continent with the most Neolite, the higher version of human. The humans that have surpassed their Yin and Yang. Yamato, my version of Wa, was called the land of gods, since it is impenetrable natural fortress of hurricanes, raging sea and more natural obstacles. The one person who went there and came back said that everyone there was a god. But that was only due to their masterful mastery combination of their martial arts and magic.

Totem of purification are the cast for a special type of barrier that only allows being with a balanced yin and Yang to go through. That way, Kumihos and voidspawn cannot get past them. The divine version only possible through the evolution alter allows someone for if they temporarily put their soul in it, they can manipulate the inside of the barrier. They can also modify the barrier.

Final arc: Boss got unexpectedly brutally murmured by voidspawn leader and boss passed his power and leadership to his daughter, which is what the antagonist wanted, but she passed bigger portion to another person(maybe Saejin). In the last battle of the war, the Voidbanes use their totem of purification(that have now evolved into divine totem) to lock the stronghold of the voidspawns. They also have every totem guarded and people taking turn to control the totems. Then, the Kumihos arrived to invade as a third party in this war. But then, underground divine totem gets activated, trapping the Kumihos between the totem that lock the stronghold and the outside world. All land that are stuck in the totems became floating island. The barriers also get mixtes with the golden cleansing flames of purification. The Voidbanes Kumihos fight the Voidbanes and the Voidbanes that have become temporary voidspawn to fight the Kumihos. Every Voidbanes in this war have a minuscule portion of the connection alter in them that connect them to more standby voidbanes back in headquarters. Those in headquarters have shared sense of those Voidbanes and they are all connected by the twins flame that are being fuelled by the faith of all Voidbanes. Those in HQ are sharing the sense in order to be able to give suggestions, alert danger and warn for any change of plans. They can also switch spot when the fighting one is tired.

Scene: Null is fighting in the stronghold and as one of the front line, he destroy many mini Voidspawns serve as cameras and traps. He is about to slash a voidspawn and scene changes to Shiro using his sword of purification to burn all Kumihos in his path. Then, scene shift to Naoto getting heated out of the floating stronghold and grabbing onto the barriers. He run on the barrier and jump toward the hoard of enemies. Haven’t decided the rest.

Heaven’s wrath was the name of the main location of my previous story, echoes of altered memories. Where the main character is the catalyst for the start of the new era of my current story. His name is Utsu. There is a lot less Neolite and they are nothing more than a myth. A way to notice them is with their unchanging almost divine like white coloured hair. All Neolite will, without exception, have their hair turned to a new natural colour: white. All evolution alter user have became Neolite before they could stopped themself, making everyone think that that white hair came from stress, only Naohiro knew that it was because he became a Neolite. He also couldn’t stop himself and only managed to stop his evolution with the help of his master. His girlfriend often tease and comment on his charming white hair and told him that his appearance is not what made her fall for him. Oh, and heaven’s wrath and that other continent with most of the other known countries are where Voidspawn mainly exists. Yamato(land of gods) is also protected and blessed by the sea god for good fish catches and protection from the sea. This god is also an androgynous god who is female, but look male. Naohiro’s master once set him on a quest to go meet this god and ever since then, this god also live on that mountain with Kazetora. Maybe it was when Naohiro went to visit this god, that he almost died for the first time. You know, that adaptation to slashing. Naohiro, after retiring, learned how to do temporary evolution to grim reaper. Oh, and potential man number 1 should have the Yamato alter.

I am thinking of adding an important member to the Voidbanes. Like, you know those clean up brigades in demon slayer. They work like the legs of the organization(since they are keeping the organization alive, but are not the feet). I am thinking that one of those people, is a person with the good luck or good fortune alter. At least, that is what everyone think(herself included) apart from some more powerful people like Hiro and Naohiro. This girl‘s alter seems like it gives her good luck or higher probability, but it is actually an analyzing alter and she used it on luck when She was a kid. So ever since the, it had always been analyzing her luck, but maybe I should change that word(the analyzing). She just happens to be very lucky a lot of times. Hints are provided when sometimes, she happens to know information on some stuff that she think it is because that she spend hour in the library studying like all members of the Voidspawn, but it is actually her alter. Other hints are when she is lucky, but she doesn’t say that it was luck Since she is capable of knowing if the thing that happens was either good/bad luck or it wasn’t luck. So she is a way to know if a casino is rigged or stuff. Their was a technique that she regularly use that everyone think depends on luck, like the black flash from jujutsu Kaisen, but it is not a based on luck technique thanks to her and she managed to learn how to actually master it and teach it to others. Due to her constantly using her alter, her analyzing skills, both in magic and the actual skills, are very good.

I am thinking that Null’s alter would be the tsunami alter. Null, like Utsu, has no memories of his past. Utsu was a grim reaper whose family was separated because of a friend of his parents who lost control of his body against his alter ego he create to protect himself. He removed his own memories and he, along with his youngest sister found their grandpa and the sword of the dragon god. However, he didn’t know anything about the sword or his race, he thought that he was a human. His grandpa has his memories that he “reaped” out of himself since his alter is the reaping alter. The reaping alter allowed him to create scythe like blade on his body and turn any weapon he hold into a scythe. He never knew that his scythe could steal attribute until a bit later. Years later, after entering the Academy, making more friend, becoming the 13th second floor student, learning more about himself, his race, his weapon and more, graduating from the Academy, he finally got the vast majority of his memories back. Wait, I will tell the rest later.

Next, Utsu was able to reunite with the rest of his sibling and learn more about the history of grim reapers. All grim reapers back in the time were crazy good with both magic, spirituality(I decided this word rather than spirit or soul), mind and physic. Grim reapers(and death reaper, they are a more special version, but not by power, but by role and their birth. Haven’t really decided yet) is the next evolution of Neolite. Neolite often just want a stable normal and undisturbed life. But there are rare some that want more, not just for them, but for others. So they went behind humanity and death. They became the watchers of death. The deathless ones. They all have goals that cares about other people, or else, why would they become a creature beyond saving and yin and Yang, that watch over people’s death. Grim reaper’s role is to make sure that people have less regret at their death, ensuring less apparition of ghost in the world. People become ghost when they have regret after death. Grim reapers often take human form before a certain regretful human die so that they can give advice so that that person has no or less regret. They often take the shape of another being or make some event happen with their endless pool of magic that they absorb from the dead. Or they might ask help from the Neolite. Get it? The grim reapers “reap” away the “grim” of people that way, they won’t have many regret at their death. Or maybe Neolite become grim reapers when they die and they can only evolve into death reapers. But back in the day, grim reaper were treated and regarded slowly but surely has bringers of death, which, yes they are, but you get it. But the people in power mostly fear them since they fear death. So they were hunted and to ensure that they always stay in their physical form, they gave them flat iron burn magical scar that have the shape of thing that symbolize death so that everyone can know that they are grim reapers. The other grim reapers saw this and slowly lost faith in humanity and decided to go to the star(way to say go back to the reincarnation cycle) or maybe not. maybe I want them to slowly become monsters as victim of their lack of faith for the sake of creating another arc in my story: echoes of altered memories. The people in power also want to steal their immortal and powers. But that is impossible as even if you steal them, you won’t be satisfied since it only turn you into an empty wandering all powerful ghost when you lose all of your life vitality. The Neolite saw what happens to the grim reapers, so they also lost faith in humanity. Neolite aren’t immortal; they simply have the ability to turn magic into life vitality, making they live for as long as they want until they think it is time for them to see their close ones and die. Or become grim reapers. Man I am making this too sad (T-T,) why am I making this race I love so much a sad story? Because people are dumb and people so dumb things, so obviously, they would have to suffer the consequences of humanity’s stupidity.

This often relate with how power is rewarded by hard work and how people use those who work hard for their own personal selfish gains. Anyways, after learning more about the grim reaper, he found the man, now as a Neolite because of his alter egos, who ruined his family and life, who is his parents’s best friend, who even gave their children, without his parent knowing, his own life vitality so that they can have children, since grim reapers cannot have children, controlled by his own alter ego. Then defeated him, then participated in the final arc: the battle of Aurelian empire and Lost spirit empire. Lot of chaos happen, which include some gods, Demigods, true avatars and ton of mess happening which result in the awakening of the dormant dragon god p: 7th dragon type: the chaos dragons or more commonly known as the void dragon. Which consist of only one member of the race: Izanami, the dormant dragon god. Utsu « sacrificed » himself to kill him and this entire time, Izanami never was Izanami. It was actually a part of the 1th dragon god’s soul that was in that body, that thought that he was Izanami. This confusion caused this whole stupid amazing freaking mess.

Only people with magic become ghost at their death if they have regret.

Ryoichi vomited flesh that regenerate a body and both Ryoichi that each took scythes to threaten each other’s throat. Masato shot the real Ryoichi because he smile and, out of fear of losing the Kuroganes, shot him, but just in time for Ryoichi to cast one final magic spell: the first spell he ever learned and the one he made out of respect for the Neolite and grim reapers: Settling Rest(undecided yet, wanted maybe the antonyms of regret, but couldn’t find a cool sounding), a spell he created for the Neolite and Grim reapers to use so that they can take away the magic of a person when they die. Since only people with magic become ghost when they die regretfully, this technique would be very helpful for them. However, since cannot take away the magic of that clone of his, he forcefully tried to take them away, to the point that all mana get stuck in one specific spot, creating an explosion in that body. This would make the readers forget that he got shot by Masato, creating a big reaction when people réalise that he is going to die. Ryoichi said to his friend’s children(Utsu and his sibling) to not worry about him, since he has no magic or regret, so he won’t become a ghost and he will go to the stars. But Utsu slapped him saying while crying:”Now you have no regret! Now that you received the pain you think you deserve, you will be able to rest! You dumbass unhealthily caring uncle!” This made his uncle die with a smile.

Ryoichi never became a Neolite because he wants to have a human life and a human death.

An important aspect to mention is that the grim reaper, Neolite and death reapers weren’t affected by the now lack of grim reaper since back in the days, the only human that have mastered magic are Neolite or the regular people that have obtained magic by some ways. By then, there were the alters that have now made basically everyone a magic user, so that caused a ton of problems. There were now a lot less grim reapers and Neolite, so the burden has now fallen onto the death reapers. This cause an interesting problem that would be solved in my previous story, since Utsu is the next god of death and one of the true avatars, the harvest avatar(by the way, his alter evolved into the harvest alter).

To solve the problem the death reapers have done multiple things to shorten the burden by starting with each continent. The land of gods, Yamato, has never really been a problem, since there is the existence of gods there and there is already a religious job there called exorcist that consist of people who make sure that the ghost can pass onto the afterlife. But in heaven’s wrath, their main attention since there is the dormant 7th dragon god there and if there are ton of free ghost at the time he reborn, he would be unstoppable if he devours all ghost. So they created 4 new alters that can choose their own master, the human-human alter, the spirit-spirit alter, the demon-demon alter and the Angel-angel alter. As for the last continent, the one with the biggest population and cultural, political and more advancement, I haven’t really decided yet. I also need a name for it. Maybe something a bit more arrogant like central continent or stuff. Like the European.

Death reapers are the transcended humans who work personally under the Harvest avatar, the god of death and the Demigod in charge of protecting the concept of darkness like death, despair and abyss, whose name is Darkness. There are 30 Demigods who are powerful beings, each having the ability to influence the world. They view themselves as siblings but serve the true God. These beings are immortal, reincarnating at the place where they began their “new life.”

What I am curious about is what kind of abilities would the death reapers have? There are very few of them and since grim reaper, known as the deathless, pale in comparison to them, it would be fun to think what kind of power are in their arsenal, that their superior allows them?
