Yugioh Unboxing Structure Deck

Ashen Blade: Legacy of the Forgotten is a dystopian cyberpunk thriller set in a future where the world has been reshaped by the unchecked power of corporate dynasties known as the Keiretsu (系列). These massive conglomerates have replaced nations and governments, molding the world through commerce, warfare, and control. In this new age, power is everything, and survival is earned—not guaranteed. The social structure is brutal, built on a rigid hierarchy where strength and honor are the currency of survival. At the top are the Kurokenshi (黒剣士)—elite warriors who maintain their humanity despite advanced augmentations. Beneath them, the Integrated rely on cybernetic enhancements to survive, while the Unshackled, those without enhancements, struggle to cling to a dying existence. The lowest rung, however, is occupied by the Glitched—individuals who should not exist. Born outside corporate control or as failed prototypes, they are anomalies—threats in a world that cannot afford mistakes. The story follows Ash Atsuyuki, the last of the Shirogiri clan, a once-proud bloodline of elite warriors now reduced to fighting for survival in a world that has moved beyond honor and tradition. His family’s name is little more than a relic, a fading echo of an era when power was earned through steel, discipline, and the ancient martial codes of Kurogami (黒神)—the planet that birthed his ancestors. With his father gone, his mother dead, and his grandfather clinging to life, Ash walks the crumbling streets of a city ruled by corporate power and surveillance, where history and bloodlines no longer matter. Ash’s journey is one of reclaiming not just his heritage, but the very essence of power. In a world where only the strong survive, Ash must rise above the ruins of his family’s name, rediscover the forgotten martial techniques of the Black Gods, and reclaim his place among the elite. But in a world dominated by corporate overlords and enhanced warriors, can a fallen bloodline ever truly rise again? This story is officially being posted on RoyalRoad.com under the account REDN_CHRONICLES.

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text: [Task Failed Successfully!] [Rating Generated: SSS-Rank] "The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange. Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back. The only girl he loved stood behind him. She betrayed him. The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt. "You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life. But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death. However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges.

A mysterious screen appeared before him, revealing a truth beyond his comprehension: He had awakened.

As the world plunges into chaos, with people discovering newfound abilities, societies teeter on the edge of transformation. Some will rise to power, others will fall into madness, and a select few will seek to unravel the mystery behind their awakening. Adam, driven by curiosity rather than ambition, embarks on a path no one else dares to tread—the pursuit of absolute truth. But knowledge is dangerous, and the more he learns, the more he realizes: something—or someone—has orchestrated this grand awakening. And in a world where the impossible has become possible, the greatest danger lies not in what is known, but in what remains hidden. In a reality rewritten by fate, will Adam's quest for truth lead to salvation—or ruin?

A groups of individuals, ones marred by the weight of their pasts and uncertain of their futures, find themselves tied together by the hands of fate. As more and more events draw them closer together, they're forced into a journey that none of them could even imagine. This is the story of how these individuals lead a wave that toppled the various worlds. //Please note that this story is structured on the unique end. In the interest of not making a completely separate novel for all the side stories, every other volume will vary. Volume 2 focuses on the meeting of Jak and Dante, Volume 4 is the event causing the separation of ReguClaw, Volume 6 is Merus full life as a slave. Every side story that would only interrupt the flow of the current timeline is set to after a main arc has finished. If this strategy isn't appreciated, I'll switch this to a side novel rather than keeping it in the main. This story is set to last 6000+ chapters. 14 Main Arcs have been planned thus far.

Note: The mc is no hero. In a world where the ground was covered by poisonous fog, cities were built magically upon each other creating a high structure that pierced the sky, but the altitude you live in determines power, the strong live above, emotionless and untouchable. The weak remain below, fragile and consumed by fear. And in the depths, the Fog rises—poisonous, filled with monsters, and turning those it touches into mindless beasts. At the pinnacle of the city, he was one of the Three Rulers. A man who shaped laws to serve his power, making survival even more brutal for those beneath him. He believed the weak were nothing more than insects, unworthy of mercy. But one of his fellow rulers, an old woman with a mysterious ability, defied him. She warned him not to pass his latest law. He ignored her. So she poisoned him—and with a curse, forced him to reincarnate at the very bottom. Now, trapped in the body of a weak, rebellious boy in the lowest floor, he is forced to endure the suffering he once ignored. The Fog creeps closer, the beasts lurk in the shadows, and the people struggle to climb higher before they are consumed. But even in this wretched state, his ambition remains. To ascend again, he must become a Fog Diver, one of the few brave—or desperate—souls who dive into the Fog to hunt its horrors and earn the right to climb. The city has only one rule: Defeat those above you, take their rank, and rise. Lose, and you fall. He will rise. He will reclaim his throne. But as he fights, as he climbs, and as he experiences emotions for the first time, a question lingers in his mind. Was the old woman right? No. It doesn’t matter. Because in this world, only the strongest survive. And he refuses to be weak at all cost.

Will he reach the pinnacle of cultivation, or will the shadows of his past consume him? -------------- This is my first book and I will make some mistakes but I will strive to improve on them. Here are few things that you can expect from this novel. 1. No Cliche Young Masters -- I mean there can be one or two but the story wont be filled with them 2. Little to No Plot Holes / Armour -- But there will times when the MC will be lucky (without that the story can not even start) 3. Detailed power structure -- The power structure and everything related will be detailed. The power structure might seem generic at the start but it will show its uniqueness later on in the story. 4. I do not intend to drop this story. I already have a long story plot in mind.
