LORE DROP: "Breathe in hell to survive the day."

"Breathe in hell to survive the day."

In the neon-lit alleys of the 16th Ward, paper money isn't worth much; the real currency is Ink. Here is an exclusive visual sneak peek into the upcoming NARAKU-NO-INK Lore Book featuring the CRIMSON brand illustration because in the shadow of the Wall, survival has a price, and sometimes, it has blue smoke.

Those who have read Chapter 4 of the novel know that this is far from your average tobacco product:

The Maker: A decommissioned Japanese soldier (Tetsuya) hand-rolls these rarities right at the base of the Wall. He uses exclusively the best, premium-quality Ink for production.

The Smoke: Forget the usual gray. When someone smokes this at the market, the smoke billows in the air in shades of charcoal black and cyan blue.

The Effect: It isn't nicotine giving you a rush. A single puff provides a brutal power boost, as if you were injecting pure Ink straight into your veins, all without dying from the mutation.

The Value: Priceless. With a single pack of Ink-cigarettes, you can literally buy anything and anyone in the district.
