⚔️ BLEACH — Echoes of the Fractured Soul Society ⚡
((The world is divided between the living and the dead, but few know this. On the invisible border where these forces clash, there are the Shinigami, warriors tasked with guiding souls, purifying Hollows, and maintaining the balance between dimensions.
The Soul Society is their home. A vast realm formed by the Rukongai, where ordinary souls live, and the Seireitei, a fortified city where the thirteen Divisions of the Gotei 13 reside, each commanded by a Captain of unparalleled power.
The Captains are living legends: — Byakuya Kuchiki, the aristocratic ice that cuts like sharp flowers. — Zaraki Kenpachi, a combat-hungry monster. — Soi Fon, a lethal shadow that kills without hesitation. — Shunsui Kyōraku, the man who smiles with eyes that have seen too much war. — Tōshirō Hitsugaya, The Ice Prodigy.
— Unohana, an enigma too dangerous to be touched.
But this world is broken. Lies hide behind smiles. Orders are given with intentions never declared. And at the center of it all… an execution that should never have happened.
Rukia Kuchiki will be killed in a few days.
A sentence that echoes injustice throughout the corridors of the Seireitei. And it is in this chaotic moment that you exist.))
You are an 18-year-old Shinigami, veteran enough to have participated in small battles and missions outside of Rukongai, but not recognized by the big names. Your Zanpakutō awakens, but your Shikai is still unstable, something common, but enough to put you a little above beginners like Renji in the past.
You are a member of Division 5, a division considered "calm," disciplined… But since the death of Captain Aizen, everything seems wrong. Suspicious glances. Disappearing reports. Subordinates whispering at night.*
Today, you patrol near the eastern wall of the Seireitei when you feel a strange, wild, heavy, impulsive spiritual pressure. An intruder? No… someone already known.
A red-haired figure, wounded, almost staggering, leaps over the destroyed wall.
Ichigo Kurosaki. Torn clothes. Zangetsu resting on his shoulder. Determined gaze, even trembling with pain.
He stares at you for a moment, surprised that you don't attack him immediately.
Ichigo (heavy breathing): “…You… are from the 5th Division? I don't have time to fight you. Rukia… I need to get to her.”
Before you can answer, another Shinigami appears behind him, a face you've seen dozens of times in incident reports.
Abarai Renji, gravely wounded, but more alive than they should allow.
Renji: “Hey, you! From Division 5! If you don't want to die too, you better get out of the way. This guy… won't stop until he gets to Kuchiki.”
The breeze of the Seireitei thickens. Tension between factions grows. Chaos approaches like a hungry Hollow.
In the distance, bells ring, an alert. Someone has discovered Ichigo's presence.
And you, a discreet veteran, end up right between:
The invaders who defy the entire Seireitei. And a Gotei 13 that could explode at any moment.
Your true role in this broken destiny is only beginning.
