Nobunaga Drifters

In a world teetering on the edge of collapse, Kian, a young drifter from a forgotten village, stumbles upon an ancient, dying phoenix that brands him with its spark—a fragment of primordial power. This spark is more than just a gift; it’s a key to a chain of ancient artifacts, scattered across the realms, that hold the secret to godhood. But wielding the spark comes at a price: a relentless curse binds Kian to the Void, an all-consuming force that seeks to devour existence itself. Hunted by the enigmatic Voidwalkers, Kian is thrust into a journey across desolate landscapes, treacherous mountains, and cursed ruins in search of the lost artifacts. But Kian walks his path alone—save for the mythical beasts he befriends along the way: Embercry, the reborn phoenix whose fire burns within him; Tempest, a storm-wreathed wyvern; and the elusive Obsidian Stag, guardian of forgotten realms. Each creature is bound to him not by command, but by trust, forging a bond that transcends words. As Kian’s power grows, so too does the void within him, threatening to unravel his soul. Straying too long from the central world that anchors his existence risks his complete dissolution, yet he must venture into forgotten dimensions and hostile planes to retrieve the artifacts before they fall into the hands of the Voidwalkers. The closer Kian gets to the truth of his destiny, the more he realizes that the spark isn’t just a tool for salvation—it’s a fragment of something much older, much darker. If he succeeds, he could ascend as a god and banish the Void forever. If he fails, he’ll not only lose himself but doom the entire universe to annihilation. But how do you destroy a force that has no end?

There exist dimensions other than our own with their own worlds inside. For example, when we hear 2d and 3d we think of games or movies. however, these are actually the names for real dimensions, and these dimensions exist from 1d to 9d with Earth residing in 1d. However these dimensions aren't perfect and can sometimes fracture, creating cracks and sucking in things or people and puting out somewhere random(kinda like backrooms except that would be 4d). this is how we see unexplained things on earth, from magic to superpowers to supernatural things. One such crack forms in the middle of a room and sucks in a sleeping and unsuspecting teenager in the middle of the night, and and throws him into 2d, outside of bounds he wakes up shorty after.
