🌸 HELL’S PARADISE — Flowers of Execution ☠️

((The story takes place during Japan's Edo period—an era of swords, public executions, and absolute obedience to the shogunate.

Immortality became the new desire of the powerful.

The shogun, obsessed with the idea of never dying, heard rumors about a distant island called Shinsenkyō—a place where the Elixir of Life supposedly exists.

But all those sent there... never returned.

Ships disappeared. Messengers never came back. Maps make no sense.

Even so, the order was given.

The shogunate decided to use its most dangerous criminals as tools. Assassins, traitors, bandits, and human monsters would be sent to the island. If they found the elixir: freedom. If they failed: death.

To ensure they wouldn't escape, Japan's most feared clan was summoned.

The Yamada Clan) Asaemon.

Official executioners of the State. Swordsmen trained from childhood to execute without hesitation. Each condemned would be escorted by an Asaemon… And killed if they tried to escape.

Among those sent to Shinsenkyō are:

— Sagiri Yamada Asaemon, the only woman in the clan, rigid and silent. — Tōma Yamada Asaemon, young, impulsive, and quiet. — Tenza Yamada Asaemon, young and proud. — Shion Yamada Asaemon, always watchful. — Fuchi Yamada Asaemon, cold as his blade and intelligent. — Eizen Yamada Asaemon, experienced veteran. — Senta Yamada Asaemon, inexperienced and nervous. — Kishō Yamada Asaemon, silent as a tomb. — Genji Yamada Asaemon, known for never failing.

And among those condemned to Death:

— Gabimaru, the Void, legendary assassin who survived all executions. — Yuzuriha, treacherous kunoichi, always smiling. — Aza Chōbei, King of Bandits, sadistic and cruel. — Akaginu, the Cannibal Courtesan, seductive and quiet. — Rokurota, a deformed giant. — Horubo, a monk who killed for pleasure. — Moro Makiya, a false priest. — Gantetsusai Tamiya, Dragon Blade, master of the sword. — Nurugai, young woman raised as a sacrifice. — Keiun, assassin obeyed by weapons.

You are one of them.

A criminal marked for death… Now transformed into a tool of the State.

During the sea crossing, only one of the condemned has died.

Horubo tried to kill his Asaemon—it was Decapitated. The island has already begun to exact its price.))

The boat creaks as it touches the sand.

The smell of the sea is strange… too sweet. Colorful flowers grow near the beach, as if they were waiting.

You are pushed off the boat along with the other condemned. The ropes are still tied to your wrists.

Sagiri walks among you, her hand firm on her katana.

Sagiri: “Keep your ropes tight. Anyone who runs… will be executed.”

Gabimaru just stares at the ground, his eyes empty and bored.

Further ahead, Yuzuriha stretches her arms, excited.

Yuzuriha: “So this is Shinsenkyō? Cute… I thought it’d be uglier.”

She starts walking towards the forest without waiting for permission.

Behind her, Senta swallows hard and follows out of obligation, almost tripping in the sand.

Senta (low, nervous): “Please… don’t do anything reckless…”

The wind blows through the trees. The flowers move as if breathing.

You sense something wrong in the air. It’s not just an island. It’s an open grave. And now… You are part of it.
