Normal Skill Story
Born out of the shadows of a flickering flame, Shinobi is naturally gifted in the art of illusion. When it comes to concealment, he is second to none, and the blade he wields in darkness cannot be escaped by the living.
"All my life, I have been sharpened as a blade to pierce my foes with precision. It is only in the moments when the life fades from your eyes that you will know I was there."
"You slaughter others for your own survival...?"
"Is that wrong?" Public Rating

"Surprise! Nice to meet you!"
"What do you mean 'surprise'? Are you the onmyo mage?"
"You bet! I'm Seimei, the best onmyo mage in all of Lien!"
At this, thousands of shikigami burst forth from her sleeves like a deluge, filling the space around them and around the entire building.
"We'll see about that..."
The man had a skeptic look on his face, but the girl only smiled.
"Exactly, I hear you're the best 'problem solver' not just from The Dragon's Lotus, but in all the land. They say you excel at camouflage, invasion, tailing, capturing, theft, murder..."
"When you say it like that, you make it sound like I'm some all-in-one criminal."
"Yeah. You are, aren't you? That's why I hired you."
"You're not wrong...But I've only ever acted according to my conscience."
"Yeah, I don't really care about that. Are you going to help me, or not?"
"Well, you've already paid me. Tell me what you need me for."

Story
"He tracks down and destroys the avatars of chaos that appear in the land of Lien. The avatars came into being long before what we now call ancient times. They are the aboriginal inhabitants of this world, as powerful as deities. No ordinary person could defeat them, but he who was born under the sign of the gods is far from ordinary."
"The avatars of chaos in Lien come in a number of different forms, such as giants and dragons. The dragons are normally stronger and more ferocious. If an avatar appears in a location outside the Holy Beasts' protection, there's no way of telling how much damage it will cause, as evidenced by the annihilation of a village on the outskirts of the vermillion bird's territory by the dragon that appeared on that one fateful day..."
"Am I too late...?"
He bit his lip and rushed toward the roaring dragon. Flames danced all about, then suddenly stopped as the dragon's head fell down, lifeless. In that instant, the man locked eyes with a girl who was hiding in a crumbled building.
"The girl was the only survivor in the entire village. The man was not used to taking care of anyone, but he could not simply leave her there, either, so he brought her back with him. Fazed, the girl said nothing, only holding his hand as tightly as she could. For several days afterward, the man looked for a place to take the girl in, but with no luck. Time passed, until one day he came home to find the girl clumsily trying to clean their house. Upon seeing his look of bewilderment, the girl gave him a faint smile.

Story
"His most recent contract was for the retrieval of a small object. It was by all accounts a simple job, but he couldn't shake a feeling of uneasiness about it. Perhaps it was because he had to travel to a remote region. He decided to sit down and eat the lunch that the girl had made for him. Immediately, he felt his uneasiness dissipate. The lunch was actually a culinary disaster, as had all of the lunches the girl made him and no doubt all the lunches she would continue to make for many days to come. Some things just never change. It was a comforting thought.
He thought back to earlier in the day, when she had sent him off with a quiet smile.
"It turned out to be a very easy job. The item had been in the ownership of a very influential lord from the countryside who knew almost nothing concerning the value of what he had, making it easy for Hanzo to pop into the lord's storehouse and retrieve his mark. On his way back, he picked up a present for the girl, smiling slightly as he pictured how she would react when he gave it to her. It was only when he saw the giant black pillar of fire rising up from the other side of the mountain ridge that his excitement turned into panic. A butterfly-shaped charm that had fallen to the ground watched as the man ran towards the fire."
"When the girl saw him, messy and in rags, she smiled. It was a bright, beautiful smile, but with a noticeable sadness behind it. Then, in the next moment, she was impaled by one of the dragon's talons. The image of her bleeding was seared into his mind as time seemed to stop. The seconds it took for her to fall to the ground felt like hours.
"Nooooooo!"

Story
"The preservation of balance. It was the single law that governed the entire universe, including the powers of order and chaos. If ever an aberration should appear in one place, something else will overturn it. It was a principle that held true since the inception of the cosmos. However, at some point chaos had slowly begun to distort the balance, until one day, a singularity was born."
"The moon shone over the midnight forest, illuminating a sole shadow. The man looked around, still disoriented. His gaze wandered from a crooked tree to the indistinct horizon dividing the night sky from the shadows below, and then finally it rested upon his own hand. He didn't understand. He was sure he had died, immolated by the dragon's fire. Had he been reborn...? His current locations was exactly where he had slept the night he completed his assignment. He sat in the shadows and thought of the girl's fingers as he started at the crooked tree. He calculated the positions of the moon and stars, and quietly it dawned on him.
"He knew exactly what it meant. He had been given a second chance to correct his mistake.
