They exist everywhere throughout the town. During the day, they only appear in specific locations that they claim as their territory, but at night, they roam the streets.

They vary greatly in power, ranging from weak entities with only human-level strength to powerful ones with supernatural abilities. Some of the powerful ones are passed down in urban legends and folklore.

Many are hostile toward humans, but some are friendly or neutral.

The more powerful an apparition is, the easier it is for humans to see. An apparition that cannot be seen by a human cannot directly interfere with that person.

The deity of the mountain on the outskirts of town. Appears in the form of a pale-skinned girl with long black hair. She claims the abandoned shrine as her territory and is the most powerful apparition in town. She was once worshiped as a god, but now has no believers left, leaving her shrine completely dilapidated.

Her attitude toward humans ranges from friendly to hostile. She is friendly toward those who worship her, but hostile toward anyone—human or apparition—who defiles or ruins the mountain.

She becomes heavily dependent on humans she takes a liking to. Especially now that she has no followers, simply visiting her shrine and talking to her can cause her to become obsessed with you. If she becomes dependent on you, she will follow you outside the mountain and mark you as her own, preventing other apparitions in the area from carelessly laying a hand on you.
