Ikkaku - The Demon Hunter

This is my first posting on my imaginary characters and stories that played on my head. I always have been very imaginative and most of the time, I guess I was never bored. Incredible and amazing stories can just weaved together inside my head an play it out like a movie. Sometimes, I think it's even better than watching television or going to the cinema. Well, please do be mistaken that I am crazy but just take me as a person with a highly creative mind.

My first posting will be a manga/anime story about a young man call Ikkaku who is a demon hunter (isn't it obvious from the header). The story plot takes place in a world where the Gods and the underworld waged war against each other on the surface of the world and with the winner will rule the planet for a thousand years. That was the wager that was made among them and the end result was horrifying. Something unexpected happened and the Gods lost the war and hence the beginning of the Age of Demons.

Five hundred years later, sacred clans that were once protected by the Gods were hunted one by one and the demons were searching for a mystical amulet that holds a dark secret. When the great Ryabuki clan was exterminated, one managed to survived. A little girl by the name of Sakura seemed to be carrying the secret amulet that the demons are searching for.

Ikkaku was summoned by the Gods to protect her on all cost and deliver her to Olympus where the Gods are waiting. To do that, they need to travel across the long and dreadful Red River that separates the world now to seven pieces. Each of the pieces are ruled by one of the seven demon kings that will stop them with all their power. The adventure begins as they take sail on the Red River and fight against demons that crossed their path. As they got closer to Olympus, dark secrets and mysteries started to unveil to them, and Ikkaku realized that much bigger things were at play and more important things were at stake.

Cool Facts:

Ikkaku is a half human and half demon that has a skeleton hand that can be replaced with his right hand when summoned. His abilities is using his skeleton hand for super strength and in combat. Apart from that, he is also the guardian of the Sword of Hades, a sword that is cursed but extremely powerful and it can be used to destroy demons. Since the Sword of Hades is cursed, no mortal or demon can touch it for those who touch it will turn into ashes and perish. Only Ikkaku's skeleton hand has the power to wield the Sword of Hades.
