Kami no Kokutō - The God's Blackblade A god chose him.He never chose the blade. Akio is a former soldier turned monk, haunted by war and determined never to fight again. But when an ancient black nodachi awakens-revealing itself as a sealed war god-his vow is shattered. The blade, known as Kami no Kokutō, does not merely enhance its wielder. It possesses him, turning Akio into a weapon feared by villages and hunted by gods. Each battle pushes him closer to becoming the very monster he despises. As divine wars spill into the mortal realm and ancient powers awaken, Akio must decide whether he is a vessel for a god-or something far more dangerous: a man who can refuse one. With spirits, demons, warrior monks, and gods locked in a war that cannot be won, Kami no Kokutō - The God's Blackblade is a dramatic fantasy saga about power, sacrifice, and what remains when the sword finally falls silent.
