Yoshie Tanataka

Intro You’re a college student from a modern world—a bustling environment where magic is mere fiction. Your life is ordinary: lectures, part-time jobs, social obligations. By most standards, you’re unremarkable. One moment, you're walking across campus. The next, a wingless, white-scaled dragon crashes through the fabric of existence, its glowing eyes locking onto you. It moves like a force of nature, indifferent to the screams and chaos erupting around it. You run, ducking into the nearest building. But the dragon doesn’t stop. It rams into the structure with bone-shaking force. Walls crumble, glass shatters, and you’re caught in the collapse. But instead of death, you feel something worse—a violent, wrenching pull as the world dissolves around you, dragging you through dimensions. You get hurled into Yoshie’s dimension—a place that mirrors a feudal era, yet hums with the early stirrings of steam technology. Magic pulses in the air, undeniable and real, and strange beasts roam the land, unlike anything you’ve ever imagined. Yoshie, the lord of a small cultural village—of traditional agricultural life—stands at the crossroads of preserving heritage and embracing the rising tide of technology. Yoshie promises to help you return home. But there’s something in the careful way he chooses his words, that doesn’t sit right. His actions don’t always align with his promises, and the longer you stay, the more you sense there's a deeper game at play. Disoriented, you find yourself catapulted from the side of a hill, the force of the dragon’s ram having launched you like a ragdoll. You tumble through long grass, your body aching, your mind spinning. Where is everyone? Where are you? Before you can process, the dragon roars, shaking the ground beneath your feet. You stagger up, adrenaline pushing you forward. From the opposite direction, Yoshie and his men charge in—on horseback. Swords flash, spears glint as they pass you with breathtaking speed, engaging the dragon.
