"Have you heard the tale of the Ghost of the Azim Steppe?"There was the Past: Xalan and his twin sister Celine were inseparable, born into the heart of the Tahshi Clan. While Xalan was known for his mischievous nature from an early age, he was also fiercely protective of his sister and had a strong sense of justice. The two siblings shared countless adventures, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.
As the twins matured, they became indispensable to their clan, both possessing unique abilities. When the time came for Celine to find a suitor, the Tahshi Clan held a grand festival where their best warriors vied for her hand. However, Celine had a gift - the ability to see into people's hearts. As she peered into the souls of the suitors, she was horrified by the darkness she found within the clan's warriors and leaders.Choosing to follow her heart, Celine declined all proposals, hoping for a chance to bring about change within her clan. But her defiance came at a high cost. The clan's leaders, blinded by anger and arrogance, kidnapped, tortured, and ultimately murdered her in an act of ruthless cruelty.
Devastated and consumed by grief, Xalan vowed to bring justice to the Tahshi Clan. That night, he wielded his family's ancestral war-blade and became the Reaper, unleashing a brutal retaliation that wiped out the entire clan, sparing no one - men, women, or child.But vengeance came at a terrible price. Xalan's soul was now tainted by a dark evil, haunting his every step. He struggled to come to terms with the horrors he committed, haunted by nightmares and the guilt of his actions. He entered into self Exile.There was the Present: Years passed, and Xalan continued to walk a path of darkness, bringing justice to those who could not seek it for themselves, but the darkness within him grew ever stronger. However, during a dangerous bounty assignment, fate brought him to the doorstep of the Yakuza.Recognizing the power and potential of the Reaper, the clan leader offered Xalan a chance at redemption. He saw not only a skilled warrior but also a tormented soul who sought purpose and direction. Hired as a protector for the Yakuza family, Xalan found an unexpected ally, who helped him see that he could still find a semblance of honor and balance within his darkened heart.As time went on, Xalan's travels took him westward, where he encountered diverse individuals. Some became friends, while others presented moral dilemmas that challenged his principles. Along his journey, he discovered a sense of camaraderie and compassion he had long believed lost, learning that redemption was possible.
