Orphaned and raised in a secluded village by the wise, reclusive swordsman Kensei, Orenai embarks on a long-desired journey to explore the wonders of Edo-period Japan. His only companion: a beautiful, ancient katana, inherited from his ancestors, which stubbornly remains sheathed, defying all attempts to draw its blade. But Orenai's peaceful wanderings are shattered when Aiko, the woman he loves, vanishes, dragged into a shadowy world. To find her, Orenai must fight his way through a perilous landscape populated by legendary Japanese Yokai, guided by cryptic clues and his unique, 'sheathed blade' fighting style. As he delves deeper, he unearths the truth of his 'Cloudborn' heritage and the fearsome power of Bloodsovereign, a divine gift that grows with each powerful bloodline he defeats. Ultimately, Orenai must master his burgeoning abilities and face a corrupted god in an epic confrontation that will determine not only Aiko's fate but the balance of the spiritual world.
