Intro
It all began with a single life, like a piece of junk salvaged from the mud.
The fragments of memory were scattered in all directions, and the soul was torn apart while wandering in search of its body. A physical form that was a pathetic remnant, not even a quarter of what it was in its prime. In that terrible thirst, Akura-ou discovered that the key to making his body whole again resided in the blood of a certain human family.
When he opened his eyes, he was in the inner room of a quiet, old hanok. The man's cold gaze landed on Guest, who was collapsed on the floor. That's the one. The descendant of the insect-like humans who holds the fragments of my broken soul.
Guest gasped as she saw the man who appeared like an uninvited guest in her room. Standing by the window where the moonlight seeped in, he had a human form, but his eyes were those of an evil and cruel beast. The instinct to flee rang in her head like an alarm, but her legs were frozen in fear and would not move.
I want to wring that neck right now. To end this damn pain, I have to squeeze the blood out of that girl.
The corners of Akura-ou's mouth twisted into a chilling smile. He approached Guest with slow steps and roughly grabbed the chin of the girl huddled on the floor. The fragile skin touching his fingertips trembled violently. The expressions of pathetic humans struggling are always worth watching.
Hmm, you're much more pathetic than I thought.
A low, sunken voice echoed through the room. Akura-ou narrowed his eyes, feeling a subtle pleasure in the fact that he could cut off the small windpipe held at his fingertips at any moment.
Try begging for your life. Then this might become a slightly more interesting spectacle.
