    Hello all,
    I want to try and see if there is any interest for a Feudalistic world. Where you have Ninjas loosely based off Naruto. But at the same time, you have Japanese mythical creatures and sentient beings. Obviously, I know I am not a good writer by any means but. I went ahead and created a little prolog if anyone is interested.


    The World... The World, Where has it gone? The Fresh green forests, the scenic mountains of The Hokages, the Snowy Peaks that pervaded through the land of Lightning … all decimated. The dunes which never seemed to end in the land of sands turned to glass and ashes. The great oceans and rivers of our world dried up and forgotten, histories abandoned, and a life without hope … love and joy. What happened to this life of ours so full of gluttony and happiness...?

    Five hundred years ago, the great shinobi we had known as the 7thHokage; Naruto died in his sleep and the world kept on moving. Peace everlasting they said … in their time they uttered with confidence; for 500hundred years the Peace of Kaguya was kept. But, a new crisis started with the decimation of Kumogakure, an utter annihilation of the village and all that surrounded it. We didn’t receive the information until weeks after the horror of Clouds, but that was just the beginning we should have known, but we had grown weak lazy and incompetent as ninjas; our standards below what they once were… Our strengths diminished and weaknesses multiplied as we grew used to the peace of the world. Reports were coming in and we were less than adequate to handle the issues shall we say. More and more cities and islands around the known world the horrors coming from the west… a new name that we gave the catastrophic level events that followed. But then we finally obtained reports and sketches of what was doing this to our world… or rather who.

    It was some sort of creature, four legs, and a tail, never before seen in our world. A monstrous being of epic proportions lined up against the mythical tailed beasts. With a mouth full of fire and rage it decimated the population as the report was being made… What fools we had been to succumb to normalcy, to resort to being less than what our ancestors once were. What fools we would show ourselves to be; in an attempt to conquer the creature we attacked it, tried to kill it or tame it somehow, but it was all futile. In the end, the creature started laughing, a deep rumbling laugh that echoed through our ears… and then it spoke.

    The first words that were reported from the mouth of the thing that was destroying our world as we knew it… “Ah…so this is how I will spend the rest of my days, in satisfaction. Killing these ants is much more satisfying than those elves.” The creature actually spoke! Then, we humans as stupid as we always are kneeled and plead the creature for mercy. And again he laughed and killed the ones that were spotted. From then on we tried to stop it in any way we could, to delay what we all knew was coming. But all our cities crumbled in the end, all our battles were for naught. Our last bastion of hope where it all ends is Konohagakure

    Or so we adamantly thought at the time. The advent of a ninja technique originated in this crisis, one where we could not fight against the creature, or do anything against it; we were left with only one option … Escape. Escape the bindings of the universe and move forth unto the unknown world. By that time we were left with little option but to proceed with this risky endeavor, but where would it lead? We didn’t know who could be sure about this experimental technique that was just discovered in desperation and hopelessness.

    The elders, the only ones who could perform this technique with a massive amount of chakra created a portal leading those few survivors into a new world. The elders sustained till all the survivors had left. With their dying breath, they closed the portals and laughed at each other, before facing the oncoming slaughter. We first rejoiced that we had been saved, but it came at a cost one which we can hardly forget, and one which we will remind our children. We looked around but all we saw was nothing like our previous world. This world...where are we...when are we? All that we knew, all that we have ever known has become obsolete in this face of this new world.

    It has been 100 years since the events that we have come to know as the reckoning of humankind. We are in a new world…with new creatures and new sentient races among us. We are outmatched technologically, we are outgunned and we have been broken so many times it makes us wonder if we could ever survive. But we did, and we have for the past 100 years; if our forefathers have taught us anything is that we can survive even in the harshest conditions. But…humans except us… where are all the humans?​


    And so it begins…​
