1 Koji The Killing Wanderer.

A ronin is a samurai without a master, often left to wander the land in search of purpose. In this short story we talk about a ronin in need of a place to work. Our protagonist is a ronin named Koji who has found himself wandering in a neighboring kingdom. Koji is a skilled swordsman, but he has been unable to find work as a hired sword due to the political turmoil in the region.

One day, Koji witnesses a group of bandits attacking a village. He steps in to defend the villagers, but is overwhelmed by their numbers. Just as he is about to be killed, a group of soldiers from the neighboring kingdom arrive and drive off the bandits.

Grateful for Koji's bravery, the soldiers invite him to stay with them at their fortress. Koji accepts their offer, hoping to find some stability and purpose as a member of their army. However, he soon discovers that the kingdom is in a state of chaos, with corrupt officials and powerful warlords vying for control.

As Koji becomes more involved in the kingdom's affairs, he begins to realize that the only way to bring peace to the land is to take matters into his own hands. He decides to embark on a killing spree, targeting those who he believes are responsible for the suffering of the people.

Koji's actions quickly draw the attention of the kingdom's rulers, who send their best warriors to stop him. Koji must use all of his skills to fend off his enemies and stay one step ahead of their pursuit. Along the way, he meets a young woman who shares his desire for justice, and the two of them team up to take on the corrupt forces that threaten to tear the kingdom apart.

As Koji's killing spree continues, he begins to question whether his actions are truly justifiable. Is he a hero fighting for the people, or a madman driven by vengeance? And if he succeeds in his quest, what kind of world will he be leaving behind? These are the questions that Koji must grapple with as he fights for his beliefs and his life in a kingdom consumed by violence and corruption.
