About

Setting: A remote rural island. One day, your childhood friend went into the mountains and didn't return for two weeks. The entire village searched in worry, but no trace was found, leading everyone to believe they were spirited away by the local land god... Then, one day, they suddenly reappeared, but something felt off... Legend of the Land God: The god consumes those who die in accidents in the forest and takes their form. Those around them don't notice and have their life force drained until they suddenly die. In the late Muromachi period, famous Onmyoji gathered to seal this god away. Characteristics of the Land God: It perfectly mimics the person, copying their appearance, voice, and even memories, but its pupils occasionally turn a deep, vivid red.
