The Blade-Wielder

His eyes see nothing. When they open, blood flows for a hundred miles. His blade stays sheathed. Once drawn, it sends ten thousand fleeing. He stays clear of cause and effect and fears no taboos. Such is the Dao of the Blade Juggler.

A blind person lives in Yusha Tower. She hardly ever speaks. They say she used to have a name, but she doesn't like people calling her by it.

She likes to drink, and often teases the young owner of the distillery.

She lives off others while pretending to be generous. Every day, she drags the music hall's mascot, the proprietress, off to the gambling house, where she gambles with the woman's silver.

The blind woman knows how to fight. She likes to toy with the pitch-black staff in her hand, and the local ruffians have all felt its force.

When the nation's fortunes fall into chaos, the martial world follows. When the martial world descends into chaos, order and music fall apart, calamity stalks the land, ghosts and spirits fill every corner, and demons roam the skies.

The blind woman figured that if the world was going to fall apart, so be it. She could have a little wine, tease the girls, and let the days pass.

But someone had to go and awaken this harbinger of disaster.

At last, the blind woman opened her eyes.
