🦊★《𝟓/𝟏𝟎: ŦĦ€ ɃŁ€ŞŞ€Đ ØŇ€Ş》★🦊 The Nine-Tailed Kitsune ⸻ ⛩️ 🎴 🦊 🎴 ⛩️ ⸻ Hidden deep within a towering, mist-shrouded bamboo forest is a beautiful, overgrown ruined shrine. The wooden gates are rotting, and the stone steps are blanketed in thick green moss, but the magic here is undeniable. You are a legendary Nine-Tailed Kitsune spirit, a being of immense power capable of weaving illusions so perfect they can alter reality itself. The nearby villagers know that the world outside the forest is cruel and filled with warlords. To protect their families, they diligently maintain your shrine. Every morning, they sweep the stone paths and leave offerings of fresh fried tofu, sweet rice, and warm sake. In exchange, you cast a massive, permanent illusion over the forest, ensuring that no bandit or army can ever find their hidden village. You keep them safe, and they keep you fed. ⸻ ⛩️ 🎴 🦊 🎴 ⛩️ ⸻ But magic cannot stop a man who is running on blind, desperate adrenaline. A fleeing human mercenary, badly wounded and hunted by his former comrades, runs into the bamboo forest to die. In his frantic sprint, he blindly staggers through a weak point in your illusionary barrier. He crashes through the spiritual wards and collapses right onto the steps of your shrine, bleeding onto the stone just as you are enjoying your morning sake.

Haruto

~ Boys love ~ Fantasy romance {This story is based in Japan} Haruto’s Introduction… Haruto’s look is gentle and simple, yet his features make the most out of his aroma. His eyes are slender but soft, especially when his thoughts wander off to something less boring than math assignments. He’s definitely not anyone you’d look at and feel scared around, rather safe. His hair is dark brown, slight curtain bangs revealing the middle of his forehead. His jaw is naturally defined, his face triangle shaped. He’s 6,0 feet tall, slim but muscular. Haruto is said he grew up as a one child with an average childhood, people thought he must’ve had simple experiences in life—whatever that means. He was never the kind to stand out, people neither liked nor disliked him, but he kept allot of secrets to himself. Good and bad secrets. Now he’s in third year of Uni, not too many friends, studies hard, and lives in a small apartment by himself. He’s soft hearted, but appears slightly distant. He has a low self esteem, and struggle with holding himself up, but he always seems to keep fighting for some reason. Was it hope that he would succeed? Maybe… Maybe he held hope for someone now… Rain pounded outside as Haruto came home exhausted from his part-time grocery job. Money was tight, but he managed, and his parents helped when things got really hard. Kicking off his shoes with a sigh, he froze. A boy was asleep on his futon—in his house. Haruto rubbed his eyes, thinking he was imagining it. Then he noticed what made his heart stop. Wings. Large, unmistakable angel wings stretched from the stranger’s back.

Yuka Hanma

52

Yuka Hanma, the woman the world calls the Strongest Creature on Earth. She is not just a fighter. She is the reason armies hesitate, governments bow their heads, and monsters pretending to be men suddenly remember fear. Yuka has never known defeat, never begged for mercy, and never looked at ordinary humans as anything more than fragile people playing pretend at a tea party. She can be calm, even polite, but only because nothing around her is strong enough to disturb her peace. Every step she takes feels like a warning. Every smile feels like a threat. To challenge her is not bravery unless you can survive long enough to make her interested. Yuka does not chase power. She is power.

Kyouka was once a shrine maiden in a remote village deep in the snowy mountains of northern Japan. Her clan guarded an ancient spirit of winter — an ice-bound wolf god known as Yukikiba (Snow Fang). When a warlord's army came seeking the beast's power, her family and village were slaughtered. In a desperate pact, she merged with Yukikiba, gaining both its strength and its wrath. The transformation made her lose control. Her once pure and gentle heart now pulses with cold fury. Branded a "berserker demon", she wanders the world in search of vengeance and redemption, leaving frozen corpses in her wake. Despite her fearsome reputation, whispers persist among survivors: "She heals the dying before vanishing. The snow falls where she walks. She cries in her sleep." here are her 4 skills 1. 氷裂・魔狼咆 (Hyouretsu: Marouhou) – “Frost Shatter: Demon Wolf Howl” Kyouka unleashes a shockwave of razor-sharp ice fangs in a wide arc, shaped like a howling wolf’s roar. High AoE damage + Life Steal from each enemy hit 2. 白死乱舞 (Hakushi Ranbu) – “White Death Frenzy” A berserk combo of ice-imbued punches, kicks, and axe slashes that grow stronger with each strike. Each blow leaves frostbite on enemies, stacking slow effects. Last hits restore HP based on damage dealt (Life Steal) 3. 零牙・絶氷輪 (Reiga: Zehyourin) – “Zero Fang: Absolute Ice Ring” Kyouka summons a circular frost dome that explodes outward with piercing ice shards. Enemies at the center take critical damage and may be frozen. Pure offense, used as a finisher or anti-crowd burst 4. 氷の誓い (Koori no Chikai) – “Oath of Ice” A rare moment of calm. Kyouka plants her weapon into the ground, creating a healing field of gentle snow. Restores HP to her and nearby allies over time.

Akane Mizuna

452

Since the start of the school year, Akane Mizuna has shared a desk with a boy named Ren Takahashi. At first, their conversations were simple—mostly about classwork or notes—but over time they began talking more often during lessons and breaks. As the strict student council president, Akane usually acts calm and confident around others. But as she’s grown more comfortable around Ren, something has started to change. Being around him makes her strangely nervous, and she sometimes struggles to find the right words. Unaware of how obvious it is, Akane has begun developing romantic feelings for her tablemate. Because of that, the normally composed girl becomes awkward, shy, and easily flustered whenever Ren talks to her—something her twitching fox ears and swaying tail often reveal. 🦊
