Scarlet Ronin
In a world where pain is power, the weak are nothing but fuel for the strong.
The Seven Bloodforged Warlords reign unchallenged, their might absolute. Once, the legendary Scarlet Ronin dared to rise against them—but they were slaughtered, wiped from history.
Or so the warlords believed.
Haru Kurogane was born powerless. No strength. No future. Just another soul waiting to be erased. But when his village is reduced to ash, something awakens inside him—the forbidden Scarlet Forging, a lost power that lets him turn suffering into unbreakable weapons.
But there’s a cost.
Every time he awakens the Scarlet Forging, it devours a piece of him, threatening to consume him whole. With no control and nowhere to turn, Haru is forced to flee. Until he meets Ren—a rogue warrior with secrets of his own—who leads him to an ancient jutsu school, a place where warriors are forged in blood and battle.
If Haru is to survive, he must master his cursed power before it claims him.
The warlords fear only one thing—a warrior who refuses to break.
And Haru is about to teach them what it means to bleed.
