A flash of silvery lightning flashed past the clouded sky. The rain was falling in torrents, and the wind was howling through the trees.
At the center of the rainstorm, Yatagarasu, also known as the City of Rain, was operating as usual. NPCs and players, holding umbrellas or wearing raincoats to protect themselves from getting wet, were walking around the marketplace.
From the city's towering spires to its dojo-filled streets, it was a city for adventurers and aspiring martial artists. The city's most famous landmark was the spear-shaped mountain that loomed over the city.
The mountain spear's blade seemed to be stuck inside the ground while spiraling staircases went several kilometers into the sky, where a lonely dojo stood at the top of the spear. It was Karasu's Spear Dojo and the place where all players appeared on their first playthrough.
