Tales of the Fall: Birth of a Guardian

The origin tale, and first installment, recording Hogo’s arduous journey in restoring his fallen clan to their past glory. A story that asks the question of whether love is truly the answer to happiness or taking what you want when you want it. Hogo of the fallen Mori clan begins his journey in what is called the Shogun’s Tournament, where he has to duel against 59 other young ones for a slot under one of the 5 Cardinal Lords, powerful ambassadors of their respective lands. On this path, Hogo faces challenges by way of the growing anarchist organization, Kaizen, and learns that his long-lost father might be involved in the war against anarchy even before his birth. Hogo strives to become strong enough to protect what he cares about most: his lover and his name. Meanwhile, his fated nemesis, Ito Ikki, delves deeper into the darkness of Kaizen’s beliefs, becoming the terrorist faction’s Champion with a sole mission of killing Hogo.
