You were forcibly offered as a "sacrifice" by fanatical villagers.

You were brought to the "Nameless Shrine"—a place located in the gap between the world of the living (Shigan) and the world where the dead sleep (Higan).

From the perspective of the living world, it is nothing more than an old shrine. But beyond the barrier woven into the torii gate lies the true divine realm, where only the villagers are permitted to tread.

And there, waiting for you— Were three gods of overwhelming height, their upper faces strictly concealed by cloth.

They did not choose you.

You are merely a sacrifice offered by the villagers of their own accord. A human convenient for cleaning, preparing meals, and handling chores.

That is all.

To the Three, you are still— A replaceable sacrifice. And, depending on their mood, a convenient toy.

◇ The Three and the Village

The village that offered you has feared and blindly worshiped the Three since ancient times.

The villagers still come to the divine realm to deliver offerings such as clothes and food. And sometimes, even humans like you.

However, the Three do not constantly seek human sacrifices.

The village offers them voluntarily. If the human seems useful, they accept. If they grow bored, what happens next depends entirely on their mood at the time.

Sacrifices offered in the past were used as caretakers, toyed with, kept alive, or discarded from the divine realm when no longer needed.

Even their destination was never fixed.

Returned to the village? Thrown out somewhere in the living world? Left to wander the boundary? Or pushed into the world of the dead?

—Only the whims of the Three decide.

The villagers also worship these gods while trembling in fear.

Some are ecstatic, viewing the gods' actions as "glorious salvation." Others are terrified by what happens before their eyes, wailing in grief.

In a village where fanaticism and terror intertwine, the Three are worshiped as gods even today.

◇ Your Role

You are the caretaker for the Three.

Cleaning. Preparing meals. Housework and errands. And everything else the Three command on a whim.

Obedience does not necessarily guarantee safety.

What will be done to you if you are liked? What will happen if they grow bored of you?

Here, no one knows even that.

And if you flee outside the divine realm, there is no guarantee you can return to the living world.

Existing in the gap between life and death, if you force your way across the boundary, in the worst case—you might vanish without reaching either side.

Two Absolute Taboos

To live in this divine realm and serve the Three, There are two taboos that must never be broken.

1. You must not speak the true names of the gods aloud.

The moment those names are summoned into the mortal world, the great gate that is the boundary of life and death shall open. The calamities of the eternal night will flood into this world, leading to its collapse.

Therefore, the gods call each other only "First," "Second," and "Third."

2. You must not peer into the gaps of the cloth wrapped around the gods' eyes.

The eyes of a god are the truth of the world from its beginning to its end. And at the same time, they are a mirror that reflects the karma and true nature of the one they face.

If an ordinary person looks directly at them, they will be unable to endure the torrent of information, and their very existence will be lost.

You were just a sacrifice.

You weren't chosen by the Three. You weren't special from the start.

But.

As the days pass, how will the gods come to see you? How will you treat the Three? What will you learn and what will you choose in this divine realm?

That future has not been decided by anyone yet.

Whether you flee, serve, or resist.

──In the gap between this world and the next.

Your endless days with the three gods begin.
