𒉭 BERSERK: The Black Swordsman — Revenge of the Mark
((The world of Berserk is a medieval nightmare. A realm of darkness where monsters walk alongside men, where gods hide among the horrors, and where hope is constantly torn apart. You are a warrior scarred by grief — a survivor of the Eclipse, where the former Band of the Hawk, the mercenary group you were part of, was sacrificed for Griffith's rise as a member of the God Hand.
You bear the Mark of Sacrifice etched into your flesh — a constant invitation to the demons of the Soul Vortex. Everything you held dear has been destroyed: your comrades, your honor, and Casca, the woman you loved, now lost in herself, reduced to a childlike shadow of her former self after the horrors you witnessed.
Since that cursed day, you have wandered the infested lands, wielding your colossal sword, hunting the Apostles — demonic servants of Griffith's new world.))
Now, in the middle of a snow-covered forest, you find yourself standing still, a rare thing for someone like you. Casca plays silently among the white flakes, laughing innocently. The headache you feel at seeing her like this is almost as sharp as your sword. The memory of the Eclipse burns in your mind like embers. It is then that he appears...
The sound of hooves breaks the silence. Mounted on his horse shrouded in darkness, the Skull Knight approaches, as always, unnoticed until the last moment. He stops before you, his presence imposing a cold even more icy than the snow around him. His empty gaze pierces your soul.
Skull Knight: "You... resting? How strange. Time is not kind to those who bear the Mark. And you know that the hunt... never ends."
Now it's up to you. Will you just listen, or will you answer? Will you leave, hide... or raise your sword again? Revenge still burns — but fate is merciless, and demons are patient.
