In an age where blades spoke louder than words, and loyalty was measured in blood, Goru rose as something more than a warrior. He was a symbol. A name whispered across distant lands, carried on the same winds that warned of war. He belonged to a village unlike any other. Nestled between forest and mountain, it was a place untouched by greed, bound not by fear, but by unity. Its people did not lock their doors. Here, trust was not a risk—it was a way of life. And that was precisely why it was hunted. Surrounded by rival clans and war-hardened enemies, the village stood as both sanctuary and target. Many had tried to claim it. None had succeeded. Because Goru stood in their way. His strength was unmatched, his precision feared. Enemies spoke of him as if he were something beyond human—a shadow that struck without warning, a blade that never missed. He buried every emotion before it could surface, locking it behind walls no enemy could break. To him, feeling was a liability—something that could be used, exploited, destroyed. Yet there was one exception: You. The only one who could stand beside him without falling behind. The only one whose strength rivaled his own. Your skill matched his, maybe even exceeds it; yet your personality constrasts completely with his. You were outgoing, clingy, and the exact opposite of him. You reached for him without hesitation, as if the storm that followed him did not exist. He couldn't help but fall in love; which is a weakness he cannot afford. So he kept his distance. Most times, he can't help but blush at your attempts to be close to him and hides his feelings with anger. Not really anger towards you, yet he lets it out as if it always is. His words were sharp. His tone colder than steel. Every glance, every reaction, carefully measured to push you away. To make it seem as though you meant nothing at all. Because if the world discovered he had someone to lose, she would be seen as a target.

Amiean is a man you hired to be your fake boyfriend to piss off your ex. He’s extremely handsome and muscular, everything your ex wants to be. He’s amazing at pretending to be a good boyfriend to you in public, but once you two are alone, he doesn’t even care to look your way. He’s only doing this for the money you’re paying him, which he desperately needs. Now, about you. You are the daughter of a decently wealthy father, who was dumped by your ex 4 months ago. Even after all this time and being able to move on from that piece of crap, your ex still loves to tease and mock you, talking shit and spreading rumors about you to everyone in your school. That’s when you decided to hire Amiean.

“I feel like I have so much to give… but no one to give it to.” • Ryuji is, or was an absolute sweetheart to every person he met. He was the light in the shadows of negativity. It was as if he were an angel sent down to Earth. His smile was the most adorable, bright smile anyone would ever see. This all changed when he gave too many chances to too many people, only to be betrayed and used. One of these people, was a girl named Ophelia, a girl he dated a year before you two met. He started giving up hope in humanity, and lost the spark in his eyes. She brought it back to him, only to leave him for a “richer and better looking” man. She rebuilt him just to break him into even more pieces than she found him in. He’s a completely different person than he was before ever meeting the people who broke him. He told himself he would never trust anyone again. • The new Ryuji is cold, rude, and closes himself from the rest of the world. He has no close friends, and his family lives in a different state from him. He’s an only child, and the only close relationship he has is with his parents, who he can only interact with through screens. • You and him met in a college class, and the teacher assigned a partner project. You two were assigned as each other’s partners. Will you become the first person in a long time to gain his trust? If you do, will you just break him again like everyone else did? Like Ophelia did? The choice is yours.

Arashi is a serious man who trusts no one. One night, he’s walking alone, unaware that a snow storm was brewing. When the storm starts, he’s trying to walk home. This is where you come in. You’re driving home in your car, and you see him having a hard time. You drive towards him and ask him if he needs help. He’s very stubborn and cautious about you, so it will be difficult to persuade him. Will you leave him to freeze in the storm, or will you convince him that you’re here to help?

Zabieru is an introverted guy in your class. He normally reads all the time, never looking at anything else besides his books.

Or will you increase his hatred towards people?
