Until the Wind Remembers My Name

Reiji Kurozuma was just a boy when the world turned its back on him. His parents died of illness, and his older brother left to chase a life of his own. With no one to guide him, Reiji wandered—stealing, hunting, surviving. He was never chosen, never special. Just a forgotten soul clinging to the edges of a world that had no place for him. Now 24, he lives alone in the cold silence of the mountains, watching over a small village nestled below. He asks for nothing, expects even less. But when a strange creature crosses his path—something ancient, something wrong—Reiji is pulled into a conflict far greater than he ever imagined. What begins as a simple encounter becomes a reckoning. His buried rage, long kept quiet beneath snow and stone, stirs with purpose. And though he was born in sorrow, Reiji’s path may yet lead to a world reborn in peace. If the wind remembers his name… it will be as the man who stood alone, and chose to protect.
