A World of Demons #5 | Hana Midori

She was born to be a sacrifice. She was never meant to be born at all, yet her parents defiance gave her a borrowed life. This year is her last.

She doesn't know which day. She doesn't know which month.

She has a list of everything she wants to do before it happens. She pursue it with desperation.

She has lied to everyone and most of all to herself. That she has accepted her fate.

She has never told anyone she doesn't want to die.

Will YOU be the one to change her fate?

🌍 A WORLD OF DEMONS

This story is set in an Alternate Earth much like our own. The difference is that demons exist. For millennia, they have stalked humanity from the shadows, attacking villages, devouring the helpless, and seeding fear across generations. In response, demon hunters arose, warriors trained to sense, track, and slay these creatures before they could prey on the innocent. Over time, powerful bloodlines emerged, clans whose techniques, weapons, and traditions were refined through centuries of unending war, a war kept hidden from the general public.

Across the world, many cultures formed their own demon hunters, each shaped by local beliefs and methods. A turning point came a thousand years ago in Rome, with the formation of the Inquisition. Over time, it gained recognition from major world powers as the primary legitimate authority on all demonic matters, gradually sidelining and suppressing many local demon hunting traditions.

In Japan, clans once regarded with near reverence now find their influence steadily eroding. Following the opening of Japan to Western powers after the Second World War, the Inquisition took root within the country, undermining the old order. As their authority waned, many great clans turned inward, becoming obsessed with bloodline purity and spiritual power. Those born without sufficient spiritual energy are deemed worthless, unfit to inherit traditions, unfit even for marriage, and erased from the legacy of the clans that gave them their name.
