Obake

Ruthless monsters from another realm are always at the forefront of Obake's mind. Yet, he can't reconcile whether he truly believes they exist. Considering the vague stories told by his grandparents, it's no wonder he can't shake the feeling he's being lied to. How did his family really lose all their wealth? How did the fire that decimated his home city really start? How did his parents really die?When not obsessing over such matters, Obake's focused on his studies at the academy and his training as a Ninja. Even then, the allure of the unknown claws away at him. His only respite is a gorgeous young woman. Unfortunately, because of her status as a Samurai, an opposing faction of warriors, Obake's forbidden to associate with her.Samurai & Ninja, the realm's most prominent populations separated long ago. A concerted effort to establish peace, something that could come crashing at any moment. Despite it all, Obake's determined to graduate and become a full-fledged bounty hunter. With such a monumental goal at hand, why worry about anything else? Besides, if those ruthless monsters are real, it's not like they'd ever show up... right?
