The Last Shogun, the lionized Toyotomi Hideyoshi, had died 

in battle during his infamous conquest to conquer China. 

Now, beyond the grave, he was a prisoner of Ghostown 

because of the vile deeds that he did as a human. Ghostown 

was a version of Hell that was reserved for those who had 

killed more than 50 people in their lifetimes. Many of 

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's samurai and archers were already 

there, and had stories of how to get out of there. Hideyoshi's 

head samurai, Date Bontenmaru, told Hideyoshi about the 

road from their current location to the exit of Ghostown. The 

journey would only take 5 days to complete, but as soon as 

you started, you would be besieged be monsters. Also, if 

you died at the hands of the beasts, you would become one 

of them until you are defeated. The monsters along the path 

were converted prisoners of the first beast. 

Bontenmaru organized the troops so that they 

could depart the very next day. In the morning, 

the small army set across the banal landscape. 

Within the hour, they were attacked by three 

churlish demons with heads of octopuses and the 

bodies of griffons. Hideyoshi ordered an attack, and 

the archers sent a deadly hail of arrows into the 

midst of the pack. The trio fell, and the warriors 

saw a white spirit rise up from each corpse. The 

souls flew away, and the bodies disintegrated.

Hideyoshi and his troops bowed their heads in 

reverence. Hideyoshi said, "We have freed three 

tormented souls. It is our duty to release the 

rest and escape ourselves." After a minute of 

respectful silence, the force moved away and 

countinued their odyssey. From then on, they 

marched onward through the blank fields of Hell. 

They were attacked every thirty minutes by 

increasingly more powerful enemies. 

However, whenever his samurai tired, Hideyoshi 

himself would slice through the hordes and inspire 

them with his aura of endless willpower, strength and 

perseverance. Because of Hideyoshi's unceasing 

leadership and galvanizatio, the undead warriors 

managed to cover four days' worth of traveling and 

fighting in one. If one wanted to take the path 

they had taken, all he would have to do was follow 

the trail of carnage. They rested for a day, then 

advanced to see what their final albatross was.

The samurai went forward and saw their final 

enemy: a momentous animal awaited them: a 

silver bear with bristles on its back that were like 

mountains. The bear towered over the entire 

land, and looked as if its enormous head 

penetrated through the sky.
