Beat Blades Haruka

STORY (Prologue): Takamaru Ikusabe, a boy attending Jippou Academy, was living a peaceful life in pursuit of love, despite constant cockblocking by his landlord's daughter, Narika Shihoudou. One day, Takamaru encountered a girl who captured his heart at first sight. Her name was Haruka Takamori. That night, Takamaru and Narika were attacked by a mysterious group of ninjas. The one who saved them from the crisis was none other than Haruka, wearing kunoichi gear. Haruka called Takamaru her master and asked him to perform sexual acts with her. It turned out that Takamaru was the young master of a heroic ninja clan known as the Crescent Moons, and via sex, he had the ability to provide a supernatural energy called Sex Power (SP). Haruka obtained some SP from Takamaru and managed to fight off the ninjas, but that was only the beginning of a long and arduous battle.   Characters: The Crescent Moons: Formally known as the Souha Crescent Moons, they're a ninja clan founded by the first Dragonian and a kunoichi. Their extraordinary combat ability permitted them not to have to work under a particular lord, but to follow the master of the clan's judgment in who would be best to assist at any given time. Highly active behind the scenes throughout Japan's history, they once drove a monster known as Noroi into a corner, but he managed to escape into the future. With the objective of vanquishing Noroi before he could return to his full power in the era where he would once again appear, the Crescent Moons continued to fight to protect their master as they honed their combative and organizational abilities. Haruka Takamori: A Blade, the title given to the Crescent Moons' strongest kunoichis, who chased after Noroi from the past into the future. For Takamaru's protection, and to study the current world herself, she began to attend Jippou Academy. Most of the time, she's just a normal girl observing modern society and trying to fit in. Despite being in the same year of school as Takamaru, she's actually older than he is. Her talent is so great that she achieved the rank of Blade far faster than most, but she could never bring herself to cross the line of giving her past master her chastity, leaving her not truly a Blade at the time she arrived in the modern age. While normally a kind, warm, big-hearted girl, she becomes an elegant warrior in battle. Narika Shihoudou: A girl three years younger than Takamaru, and the daughter of his landlord and the head of the dojo he attends, Seigen Shihoudou. Actually a member of the Crescent Moons, she didn't initially participate in combat, but certain circumstances led to her becoming a Blade and throwing herself into a life of sex and fighting. Though well practiced in martial arts, her personality is that of a normal girl, and she particularly loves anything sweet. She's hit on around town frequently enough to be aware of how cute she is, but still has feelings of inferiority when put next to Haruka's body and personality. Albeit cold at times, she's a caring girl at heart and has positive feelings for Takamaru. Takamaru Ikusabe: The protagonist of this story. By way of a ritual called Dragon Synergy (which is essentially sex), he can give his sexual partners a supernatural energy called Sex Power. Although not initially aware of it himself, he's lined up to become the 23rd master of the ninja clan known as the Crescent Moons, and fated to fight Noroi. Upon Haruka's appearance, he was determined, if not bewildered by the revelations, to fight the Noroi Faction. Akira Kurogane: The school nurse at Jippou Academy. Holds an unlit cigarette in her mouth at all times. Familiarly referred to as Ms. Akira by the students, she gives them, including Takamaru, advice for both their public and private affairs. It turns out that she's a member of the Crescent Moons, and effectively the acting commander in the fight with the Noroi Faction. Subaru: A Blade of the Crescent Moons, as well as Haruka's close friend and senior kunoichi. During the effort to stop the Noroi Faction from traveling to the future, she lost to one of their leaders, Ittou Hagane, after which she was imprisoned in Castle Infinity. (The following two are less important) Seigen Shihoudou: Narika's father, as well as Takamaru's landlord and martial arts instructor. He's a calm, stern man. Suzumori: The Crescent Moons' operator. He's a hard-working, submissive boy. Noroi: A mysterious being worshipped by Ensai and the Noroi Faction as the Lord of Salvation. He feeds on the grief, fear, and sorrow of mankind, and provides the Noroi Faction with supernatural power such that they can better produce it. Once put on the brink of death by the Crescent Moons, he fled to the modern era, where there was a high population, but few who could oppose him. The Noroi Faction is a combat group founded by Ensai Mukuroi that fights for "True Eternity", an ideal in which they use Noroi's power to destroy human civilization and create a world of everlasting peace through fear. Ensai Mukuroi: One of the Tetra Sealers, the four leaders of the Noroi Faction, as well as its founder. His title is the Black Guardian. A blind monk, his eyes produce a constant stream of bloody tears. He founded the Noroi Faction to achieve True Eternity, his ideal for the world in which peace is created through fear. Ittou Hagane: The Tetra Sealer swordsman known as the White Guardian. Albeit ranked as the Noroi Faction's second-in-command, he's rumored to be its strongest member. When Haruka and Subaru tried to stop the time leap in the past, he severed one of Subaru's arms, displayed his overwhelming superiority. His chosen name itself means "Sword", as he sees himself as the sword cleaving its way to his ideals. Kikyou-dayu: The Tetra Sealer known as the Red Guardian. Unlike the other Tetra Sealers, she's driven purely by ego, and her self-obsession itself gives her great power. Orochimaru: The Tetra Sealer known as the Blue Guardian. The newest member of the Tetra Sealers, he strongly opposes anyone who claims to fight for justice and sees the Blades as his rivals. (The following are all less important) The Demonic Judge - Ichizen Gouoka A Kainin who captures those who break his personally set laws and lays down personally determined punishments he calls the Judgment of Gouoka. He created a unit of measuring the graveness of crimes he calls the gouoka. Losing to him will result in a hardcore, erotic, public Judgment of Gouoka. The Demonic Enchantress - Minazuki A student from the modern day who received Noroi's power and became a Kainin. She hates anyone who commits crimes (especially sexual harassment) and charges them with severe punishments. Despite her villainy, at her core, she's just a needlessly stern girl with an annoying fixation on the rules. The Demonic Doctor - Gennai Shuraga A doctor Kainin. An egomaniac, he'll do anything to find the truth he seeks, no matter who has to be sacrificed. The Demonic Princess - Almer A magical girl Kainin. She looks and acts like she's spacing out half the time. Full of curiosity, she'll do things like make a merry-go-round out of people's cars for fun, unaware of the danger she's causing. And having her fun interrupted only makes her angry. The Phantasmic Fungus - Takemura-doujin A mushroom turned into a Kainin with a laid back manner of speaking. He believes mushrooms should be the dominant species on Earth over humans. Losing to him will result in the Blades becoming his mushrooms' toys, or even having mushrooms cultivated using their bodies. The Phantasmic Puppeteer - Lurrie Joe A combination Kainin made up of Lurrie, the puppet and master, and Joe, the puppeteer and servant. They sell manipulation threads, string that can be used to control humans, in an effort to throw the world into chaos. Losing to them will result in the Blades being controlled to say and do obscene things they never normally would. The Phantasmic Cojones - Gokutarou-danuki A tanuki Kainin who takes pride in his giant balls. He fills men with an overwhelming amount of vigor and drive, leading them to go on rampages. His unique laugh sounds like "Dohyew hyew hyew hyew!" Genin The Noroi Faction's fighters. All they can say is "Nunja!" There are also higher ranked ones called chunins and jounins.   System: Summary- This game is a transforming heroine raising sim using ninjas as a motif.  You play as Takamaru Ikusabe, the next master of the ninja clan known as the Crescent Moons, and have sex with the heroines to power them up, as well as give them orders in combat, with the goal of defeating the Noroi Faction within a certain number of days. Game Flow: The game is divided into days, where each day has a Morning, Afternoon, and Night phase. Morning/Afternoon Phase Options- The morning and afternoon phases have the same options, intended for preparing for battle. They are: Dragon Synergy (Sex) Raise Libido Rest Training Enemy Search Info/Skills Dragon Synergy- Perform Dragon Synergy (Sex) with your heroine of choice. If it's successful, the heroine will recover a certain amount of SP and receive a specified bonus. If it fails, the difficulty of the attempted Dragon Synergy will decrease by the amount you rolled. Raise Libido- Increases your Libido level. For every 10 Libido, you recover one more die at the end of each day. Rest- Immediately recovers some action points. Training- Trains a character of choice. Ideal for raising a character's Barrier (essentially HP). Enemy Search- Searches for Kainin and genins around town. You can't fight an enemy without having confirmed its presence first, and you can't use Enemy Search at night, so make sure to do it ahead of time. Info/Skills- View info on each character or spend SP to learn skills. A character can only learn up to three skills. Choose wisely. Three-Way Choices: In discussions with the heroines, you'll sometimes be given three choices, each of which may affect different parameters. Night Phase: The night phase is mostly focused on stopping the Noroi Faction's evildoing around town. Deploy- Fight Kainin or genins that you've previously discovered with the Enemy Search command. The blue markers indicate genins you can fight, while the red markers indicated Kainin or even stronger enemies. The grey markers are undiscovered enemies and can't be fought. Combat: Winning a fight will restore your Peace Points. Losing, however, will result in the heroine being punished. Specifically, losing to a Kainin will result in an H-scene. Not only that, but losing to the same Kainin a second time will give you a new, even more extreme H-scene.  Castle Raid: As the game progresses, Tetra Castles being defended by the Tetra Sealers appear. The only way to reach the enemy base, Castle Infinity, is to bring them all down. Each floor of the castle has multiple routes to pick, containing enemies, traps, and treasures, at the end of which is a boss. On the top floor of each castle is a Tetra Sealer, enemies who surpass genins and even Kainin. Be prepared! End of Day Results: At the end of the day, a screen will show how many days have passed so far, your current action points, and the change in your Peace Points. The Blades' Barrier and your action points will recover on this screen. This Game may contain content not appropriate for all ages, or may not be appropriate for viewing at work.
