RAKUJITSU

CHAPTER I: ORDER.
The Asian Peninsula.

The world was falling into despair with the rise of the newly elected Shogun after the formers mysterious death. Such caused a bit of suspicion from the Emperor of Japan, however with the public support, as well as military power leaning in the favor of the newly elect, the Emperor had no choice but to not meddle in the Shogunate.

The sound of blades gave a thrill through the spine of many, the field of death being land and sea. Soon after election, Ieshige, an Minamoto descendant, declared war on the neighboring nations of China and Korea. Both nations had been enjoying years of peace, the recently put down rebellions within China that forced a mass exodus of Tengu to shanghai, where they held intention of starting their own state of freedom from the growing corrupted humans. Yet by an ironic twist of fate, the Emperor, one worshiped as a deity for his majestic power, would pass from the records of life. China was to become unstable at the start of this war, as the only heir to the throne was the Emperor's young wife, married off years before into the high society.

Unsuspecting, Japan began their development of "weapons of mass destruction" due to foreign influence and demonic technology. Unknown to the public and even their enemies, a small orb in the process of creation was to be such rumored weapon of destruction, it's ability rather complex, yet in short affected the way a large amount of people thought. With data stored of all different races, as well as understanding the human mind, it would help to manipulate the minds and opinions of those in which the countries kanji was written upon it, enchanted to effect that nation only.

Known only to the Science Division within Japan, the project referred as something bold. "Neo Seken Gechi."

Or short; New World Order.

Conquest was one thing, but to take over the hearts and minds of all was completely another story. But as always, someone had to be brutus. Information of this technology being created was leaked to China during the middle of their war, now having gone on for two months, and the newly throned Empress sprang into action. Her Grand General was to create an elite military division of the best warriors in China, as well as enlist the aid of the rebellious Tengu in Shanghai. This division had only one objective: get to Edo Castle, find the orb, and destroy it. Only problem remained was gathering capable people who hadn't already died.

Unaware of the leak, Ieshige continues his invasions and research of demonic tools, his overstepping of gods territory proving to most that he himself was a god, one who had every right to control everything. Many of his followers adored him, while many desired his death.

But something unsettling has begun in Korea...
