National Fate: Creating Naraka: Bladepoint from the Start

Earth is riddled with wounds, and Death Space descends.

One person is selected from each country to become an Arbiter of Divine Punishment.

They create mental worlds designed to torment and kill humans. Countries receive rewards or punishments based on the emotions people feel just before they die.

"The Arbiter of Divine Punishment from Eagle Sauce Country created a Saw-themed mental world. After entering, the people felt a despair that chilled them to the bone..."

"Sakura Country created a Death Park, with towering roller coasters and deadly pendulum rides where people experience death as they fall."

After enduring the agony of countless ways to die, people from other countries tremble with fear and get goosebumps at the mere mention of the Divine Punishment worlds.

Just as people around the world swear they'll never enter a Divine Punishment world again, the people of China, in the distant East, are fighting tooth and nail to get in.

"Damn it! I was this close to becoming an immortal legend!"

"The monk's one hit from death, kill him first. Holy crap, he turned into a giant Buddha! Run!"

"Whose wind is that? Whose wind? Oh no, it's the enemy's wind!"

"My God, all I can think about is parrying!"
