The boundless desert stretched endlessly under a clear sky.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed, tearing through the anxious air in an instant!
Bass—
The sharp hum of a sword echoed, spreading in all directions.
In the next moment, the white light flickered again, swiftly retracting from the distance.
Finally, it condensed into a short sword gleaming with silver light, now firmly held in the hand of a brown-haired boy dressed in black.
"Ten years… I've finally mastered Bankai completely…"
Kuzo gazed at the silver blade in his hand, his eyes glimmering with determination as a faint smile formed at the corner of his lips.
This blade was called Shinsō.
In the world of Shinigami, this was the Zanpakutō of the genius Third Division captain, Ichimaru Gin. Known as the longest and fastest Zanpakutō in the Soul Society, it was a weapon of precision—deadly in long-range attacks and unmatched in its sheer speed.
And today, after years of relentless training, Kuzo had finally grasped its ultimate power—Bankai: Kamishini no Yari!
Ten years.
It had been ten years since he arrived in this world.
When he first woke up in the desert, dazed and disoriented, he immediately discovered a system bound to him—[The King of Void Night].
Soon after, he received his initial Reiatsu and his sole Zanpakutō: Shinsō.
Still unsure of his situation, he took in his surroundings—the vast, endless desert. Then, recognizing the distinct elements of the Shinigami world, he came to a chilling realization:
This place was most likely Hueco Mundo.
A land of peril.
A realm swarming with ruthless Hollows, constantly fighting and devouring each other to survive.
Even a Menos Grande-level Hollow could exude enough Reiatsu to crush weaker beings to death on the spot.
Staring at the vast, desolate landscape, Kuzo couldn't help but feel a trace of unease.
But at that moment, the system's voice reassured him: as long as he remained within the system's initial secret realm, he could train in safety, free from external threats.
Hearing this, Kuzo was overjoyed.
After all, he had just arrived in this world—he had no intention of becoming Hollow fodder.
So, he chose to remain hidden.
He would train. He would grow. He would survive.
And now, after ten years, his mastery over his Zanpakutō had reached 100%, allowing him to unleash Bankai at will.
His control over Kamishini no Yari was now on par with, if not superior to, Ichimaru Gin's own.
"Ten years… It passed by so fast…"
Kuzo chuckled, sliding Kamishini no Yari back into its sheath before looking toward the empty expanse before him.
"System, open the panel."
"Ding."
A crisp notification chimed as an aqua-blue translucent interface materialized in front of him.

Looking at the panel, Kuzo's eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
Over the past decade, he hadn't just focused on mastering Bankai—he had honed his other abilities as well.
The system had a function called "Survival Rewards", granting him valuable skills and enhancements for every ten days he endured.
Thanks to this, he had become proficient in swordsmanship and Hakuda, while his Shunpo and Kidō had reached an advanced level.
Aside from his slightly weaker Reiatsu, he was now as formidable as an average captain.
"I wonder when I'll get another Reiatsu boost from the system…"
Kuzo sighed, glancing at the system panel in contemplation.
But before he could think further—
A voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Tsk, tsk… That flash of light just now… was it caused by your sword?"
"Oh? You seem like quite the interesting 'material'…"
