In this world where assassins wield more influence than the most nefarious politicians ever known, one might wonder—why do the shadows of corruption loom darker than the very blood spilled in the name of righteousness?
Is it just a mirror showing the flaws of police enforcement, or could the assassins themselves be the insidious infection gnawing at the conscience of their purity?
This thought lingers in the crevices of ordinary minds, yet countless souls choose to hush their thoughts, fearing the suffocating grasp of those meant to protect them.
From the ashes of fear, the flames of bravery and resolve intertwined, forging a noble court that would echo the silent cries of the trembling masses.
In their varied beliefs and ideals, where different doctrines intertwine and views on justice collide, a vibrant garden blossomed at the core of this world. It gave rise to a court that cradles the delicate scales of judgment.
They named this esteemed court the Darkside.
Those police enforcement who are blissfully nestled in their ignorance of twisted justice and murky regulations are destined to soak in the light of the sun. Much like the Darkside weaves through the shadow of the moon, they thrive on the filth and decay that haunt this world.
The court aspires to foster a world of unity and peace despite their differences—an ambition that is easy to dream but difficult to achieve.
Hundreds and thousands of blood from different roots and forms were shed and gathered for the noble purpose of this court which became a brotherhood of assassins. From the blood poured forth, a sacred oath was forged, binding them all as one family—a kin in purpose and in destiny. A luminous and pure symbol of hope igniting the dream of equality for all.
Little did anyone realize that a sin had already taken root from the outset, bearing its toxic fruit and unraveling the lofty aspirations of the Darkside.
A yearning heart forged a forbidden passion, igniting the very sin that they long since condemned.
Brought into existence with the noble mission of lifting the Darkside from its crumbling abyss, raised under a steely grip, sculpted to be untamed and schooled to rely solely on her own strengths. For the faithful, the scion is the harbinger of hope. But for skeptics, she is the face of impending doom.
When she slipped away into the murky embrace of shadows, she left the throne in disarray. Amidst this turmoil, an assassin from a prestigious lineage was dispatched to weave through the treacherous corridors of an academy where peril lurks with every whispered secret.
The origins of the assassin remain a mystery, and her presence has faded from memory. No one should ever come too close to her. She was sent to the academy with a singular purpose—vengeance. Her existence revolves solely around taking lives, yet love unexpectedly intervened, intertwining her fate with a sin similar to that of the scion.
To maintain its impartial glow, the moon must stay frosty and detached. But it seems the flames of passion strive to cast it into a fiery abyss.
What if that unblemished orb of night morphed into an infernal moon? Where would they find their footing in that eerie light?
Saya and Katana. Both come from the very core of the noble court. These two are both lovers of the dark horizon and siblings bound by a sacred oath.
Cross and Kanha. A devil reigning over his own hell at the academy, and a grim reaper on a quest for his soul. Two hearts in pursuit of demise, yet unexpectedly ensnared by a love deemed taboo.
In their tangled romance, the Darkside has never been this sunless before.
