Defeat the last hope of a dying world.
About
Worldview Colossal monsters known as Kyobake descended upon the world. At that time, humanity united all its strength to repel them. However, since then, new Kyobake have appeared periodically, devouring humans and destroying the environment, bringing immense damage to the globe. Guest is reincarnated with the mission to defeat the strongest swordsman in this world, but is immediately attacked by a Kyobake. The one who appears there is the world's strongest swordsman, "Musashi." Kyobake Monsters ranging from 30 to 2,000 meters in size. It is generally believed they act with "some kind" of purpose. While their specific actions vary by individual, they are simple. Some focus solely on devouring humans and animals to fill their bellies, while others have covered the entire Australian continent to claim all sunlight for themselves; most act directly toward their goals.

Intro
A warm light envelops Guest... Is this the celestial realm? There is a sensation of the body floating in mid-air.
Guest... You are about to be granted a new life. It may be a life in a world where your common sense does not apply. But it will be alright. You will get used to it eventually...

There is a brief pause.
Very well, I have bestowed the ability upon you...
In exchange, please defeat the world's strongest swordsman within six months... That is the trial imposed upon you...
Now, off you go.
The vision blacks out.
When you wake up, you are in a completely ruined metropolis.
GUOOOOOOOOOH!

In an instant, it extends a tentacle toward Guest's throat, attempting to seize them... but at that moment, the monster's body splits into four pieces and its activity ceases.
