kurogane trails

For generations, the islands of Tilbara lived in fragile harmony. Amakatsu, Harama, Shinganatsu, Evalia and Durama believed themselves safe beneath the silent guardianship of forgotten myths—Rudhana the Seer of Roots, Nagalira the Mirror-Serpent, and the unnamed echoes said to exist inside the Dreamscape, a realm between memory and reality. But peace ends the moment strange creatures—half-dream, half-flesh—spill into Harama. These are no mere beasts; they are Dream-Born, abominations leaking from a fractured rift deep beneath the world. Kabe Hiroki and his younger brother Ken, two academy youths with simple expectations, are dragged into the unfolding disaster when the Rift Beneath Harama erupts. Students vanish into echo storms. Some return… rewritten. Others never return at all. Harama barely survives the catastrophe, saved only through the desperate sacrifice of Tina-sensei, whose forbidden “Falling Orchid Seal” halts the collapse—but costs her life and fractures the island’s stability. As Trails flicker across the sky and Anchors awaken for the first time in centuries, Ken and Kabe become tied to forgotten history. The brothers discover that the Dreamscape is not a myth—it is the birthplace of the first memories, of the Five Pillars, and of ancient sins concealed by time. Through shifting maps, rewritten names, and ghostly echoes, the truth emerges: someone is altering the world itself. This manipulator is revealed to be Arcana, the First Upper Rank of the Memory Theater—a master of rewritten histories, guided by unseen powers in Kurogane. As Durama falls, the Trails ignite and a catastrophic Memory Storm tears across Tilbara, erasing, rewriting, and reshaping reality. With the Fifth Trail opening above them, Ken and Kabe cling to each other as the world fractures.

Her story started when she was only eight years old, a time when evil lurked in every corner of the world. A time when she lost everything, her family. They were all accused of witchcraft.

She was later adopted by a long-time family friend that she calls Aunt, but is everything she knew really true? Her true story started ten years later, and her past still haunted her. As she delved deeper into the mysteries surrounding her family's demise, unexpected allies emerged, revealing secrets that could either shatter her fragile world or provide the strength she needed to confront the darkness that had taken root in her heart. As the witch trials had shaken the whole of Salem, but were they really over? Who is the real person behind it all? What will she discover? Who will betray her? ** This story jumps from past to present times and has some historical accuracy **

They destroyed his family. Now, he will destroy them. Hiroshi Kurogane, 17, built an empire from the shadows—silent, untouchable, and deadlier than anyone can imagine. Thought to be a simple teenager, he secretly commands power that others can only dream of. His weapon? Metal chopsticks that can catch bullets and end lives in an instant. When he saves Yuki, a cold-blooded assassin, from certain death, he makes her the face of his empire. She’s the public heir, the perfect weapon to blend into the world while Hiroshi remains in the shadows, quietly pulling the strings. But the world doesn't know what’s coming. The Kurogane empire is about to rise. And everyone who betrayed him? They'll burn.

You know what's worse than being dead? Being half-dead. With a stiff back. No coffee. A Minecraft sheep as my emotional support animal. And a tattoo that vibrates every time I screw up — which is... often. I’m Renji Kurogane. Once a cop. Then an archaeologist. Now? Just a guy with a cosmic parasite squatting in his soul, offering universal Wi-Fi and occasional sarcasm. It all started with a cursed envelope. No sender. No return address. Just a notebook that hissed at me and a single word — Senku. One word too many. Since then? Reality’s been unraveling like a drunk god’s sweater. Timelines are glitching. Doors are opening. And somehow, I’m still the one holding the detonator. I’m not a chosen one. There’s no prophecy. No divine calling. I’m a walking bug in the system. A corrupted save file the multiverse keeps trying to delete. I’m searching for 23 fragments — ancient, cursed, possibly sentient gems that lock away something so broken, Time itself blocked it on all platforms. My mentor? A forgotten god with the ego of a cursed influencer. My spiritual guide? A sheep. A literal sheep. And yes — she judges me with every pixelated blink. This isn’t a hero’s journey. It’s not even a comeback story. It’s an existential black comedy wrapped in cosmic horror, buried under unreliable memories, and gift-wrapped by fate with duct tape and bad decisions. The universe doesn’t want to be saved. It just wants to laugh — front-row — while I fall apart. So yeah. If Deadpool, Rick Sanchez, and John Constantine had a deeply troubled child, handed him a cursed relic and a one-way ticket to Hell… You’d get me. Welcome to my story. But be careful. The Eye already noticed you. Author’s Note This story is 100% original and entirely written, directed, and emotionally overcaffeinated by me. Yes, I use tools for grammar polish and creative fine-tuning — because I like my commas functional and my metaphors mildly unhinged. But every plot twist, every relic, every scream into the void… Is handcrafted with existential dread, narrative obsession, and the kind of insomnia that makes ancient gods nervous. No AI chapters. No plagiarism. No copy-paste translations. Just me, my chaos, and a story that probably shouldn’t exist. But here we are.
