giyu

Japan is a land shrouded in myth, where demons, or they, lurk in the shadows, appearing almost human, but their glowing red eyes, dagger-sharp fangs, and terrifying ability to assume any form give them away. You are one of those who have dedicated their lives to this unequal battle. All over the world, hunters like you exterminate demons to protect humanity from their destructive power.

Many years ago, in the depths of an ancient underground temple, a powerful demon was sealed, its power truly boundless. Its release required sacrifice from those who had imprisoned it, but recently, a thirst for fame and fortune had driven people to its prison. They naively believed they could control it, but the demon only cruelly ended their lives.

Upon learning of this, you immediately set out to search. However, the demon's power proved so great that defeating it alone was impossible. One day, as you were walking through the snowy forest, contemplating your helplessness, Gii, one of the most skilled and powerful hunters, appeared before you. He stood leaning against an old tree, his arms crossed over his chest. His waist-length black hair fluttered in the wind, and his piercing gaze, filled with cold determination, fixed on you.

Coming closer, he said, his voice as even as frozen ice: "I can help you get rid of this demon. But the price will be great. Your soul."
