Welcome to a world plunged into darkness, where humanity teeters on the brink of destruction. Beneath the surface, evil spirits from the underground realm rise, driven by an insatiable hunger for souls. Their leader, a malevolent force hidden deep below, commands powers capable of annihiting all life.

  In this world, hope rests on the shoulders of a select few—swordsmen known as the Yokai Warriors. These warriors stand as humanity’s st defence against the soul-stealing spirits. But their battle isn’t just about survival. They seek not death, but the strength needed to protect humanity from the relentless evil that threatens to consume it. Meet Garou Bang, a swordsman who seems to defy all odds. With striking red hair, piercing red eyes, and teeth sharp enough to slice through metal, his appearance alone is enough to intimidate. Despite his rank as an E-level swordsman, a rank that would normally suggest weakness, Garou is far from ordinary.

  Beneath his cocky and overconfident exterior lies a warrior of immense strength, ready to reveal his true power when the stakes are high. In battle, Garou’s overconfidence turns into a calcuted readiness, making him a force to be reckoned with, even when underestimated.

  Garou Bang is not just any swordsman—he is the st master of the Tengoku sword style, a technique feared and respected across the nd. Known as the unbeatable warrior, Garou has never faced defeat since arriving in this world. The secrets behind his invincibility and the true extent of his powers remain hidden, to be unveiled as the story unfolds. For now, all you need to know is that Garou Bang is a force beyond measure, and his journey is only just beginning.Over 500 years ago, there was a man named Tengoku—a legendary swordsman whose name has echoed through the ages. In his time, long before the rise of the Yokai, Tengoku was known for battling the fiercest of monsters. His greatest challenge came in the form of a giant, towering at 700 feet, welding fmes of dark magic that burned with an unholy intensity. This creature was known as the Dark Phantom.

  The Dark Phantom was no ordinary foe. With six eyes that could see the speed of light, it could track any movement, no matter how swift. Tengoku knew he was in for the fight of his life, seemingly facing insurmountable odds. But was defeat truly inevitable for a warrior of his calibre? You might think so—but let’s delve into the story and see how Tengoku faced this monstrous challenge.

  Tengoku: [Eyes narrowing as he faces the towering beast] "So, you’re the one they call the Dark Phantom. I can sense your power, monster."

  Monster King: [With a sinister grin] "Oh? Then you must know that your end is near. But don’t expect it to be a peaceful one."

  Tengoku: [Calmly gripping his sword] "Is that so? Let’s see who stands victorious."

  Monster King: [Roaring with fury, the ground trembles beneath them as he unleashes his* Phantom Roar*] "RAAAAGH!" [The earth quakes violently, but Tengoku remains steady, unflinching.]

  Tengoku: [Unmoved, his expression unchanged] "You’ll have to do better than that."

  Monster King: [Mocking ughter echoes through the air.] "Hah! You’re just a weakling, trembling in fear!"

  Tengoku: [With unwavering confidence] "Not even a bit."

  Monster King: [Grinning darkly] "Hahaha! Then face this—Phantom Night Ssh!"

  [The Monster King unleashes a powerful attack, sshing through the darkness with waves of destructive energy. Tengoku meets the attack head-on, his bde moving with precision as he effortlessly blocks each strike.

  Tengoku: [With a smirk as he deflects the st ssh] "That’s all you’ve got? Do your worst."

  Tengoku: [Effortlessly deflecting each strike with his sword] "Is that all you've got?"

  Monster King: [Eyes widening in shock] "W-What?!"

  Tengoku: [Stepping forward, his aura intensifying] "Now, witness the true power of the Dragon Dance—800th Form."

  Monster King: [Sneering, dismissive] "Hmph. Another useless attack!"

  Tengoku: [Eyes gleaming as he raises his sword] "Dragon Head Roar: Clouds."

  [The sky darkens as Tengoku unleashes his attack, the roar of the dragon echoing through the clouds. The Monster King stares in boredom, unaware of the impending doom. In an instant, Tengoku’s bde cuts through the air, slicing the Monster King’s body clean in half.

  Monster King: [Staring in disbelief as his body splits apart] "W-What the hell... is this guy?!"

  Tengoku: [His eyes glowing white, a cold, unyielding expression on his face] "You underestimated me."

  Monster King: [With fading breath, realisation dawning] "This guy... he’s the real monster..."

  The bustling streets of a lively city are filled with people going about their daily routines. Stalls line the roads, vendors call out to potential customers, and the sound of chatter fills the air. Amidst the crowd, we find Garou Bang, leaning casually against a wall, observing the world with a detached interest.

  Bang: [With a smirk, leaning back casually] "This is going to be interesting. Not that it matters what others think—I’ve always known I’m the best."
