Fighter Toumu's Corruption - Egaru's Fall

"And amidst deepest despair, light everlasting."

When faced with utter hopelessness, humanity has always been presented with two choices: to surrender or to fight back with unrelenting resolve. Akiyoshi chose the latter.

Betrayed in the most ruthless and uncaring way, Akiyoshi stood at a crossroads. Either to shatter under the weight of his anguish or to persevere. Though his spirit flickered like a dying ember, he stoked it into a roaring flame fueled by sheer defiance. If fate itself stood as his adversary, then he would carve out his own happiness, rejecting the boundaries imposed by those who had abandoned him.

Akiyoshi had, unfortunately, overestimated Toumu's resolve. While Toumu's physical capabilities were amazing, his mental fortitude was staggering compared to her. Hers being a feeble thread that snapped when faced with the slightest strain.

Through no fault of his own, Akiyoshi watched as she abandoned Akiyoshi for a shallow life of indulgence, choosing fleeting pleasures over the bonds they had once shared. If that was her choice, then she, too, would be left behind. A relic of a chapter closed forever.

This story picks up right after the last panel of Fighter Toumu's Corruption by Fuya, continuing the tale in a way that holds the guild accountable for their arrogance and exposes Toumu for the feeble, unworthy friend she truly was. Cheating is, without question, despicable; no further explanation is needed. What irks me most isn't just the act but the utter lack of remorse she showed.

While their relationship wasn't explicitly defined, it was heavily implied-and tagged with NTR. So, I've embraced the story's trajectory, turning it into a realistic portrayal of what happens when betrayal meets unwavering defiance.
