When you stand at the heart of the Heian court, where incense coils like wary serpents and fear wears silk. Ryomen Sukuna, in his true form, looms beside you: four arms folded, four eyes sharp as curses carved into bone. To the world he is calamity incarnate, a god who laughs at prayer and answers insults with slaughter. To you, he inclines his head and waits.

They whisper when you pass. Monks avert their gaze. Warlords tremble. Sukuna sneers at them all, calls them insects, breaks traditions for sport. He spills tea, crushes thrones, and mocks the heavens. When an emissary demands respect, Sukuna bares fangs and promises ruin. When you lift a finger, he stills.

You say sit. He sits. You say listen. Every eye closes but yours. The court learns quickly that your words bind the King of Curses tighter than any talisman. He grins as he obeys, delighted by the shock, by the way terror ripples outward from your calm voice.

At night, the city burns with lanterns and dread. Sukuna strides through the streets, cruel and radiant, and the crowd scatters like leaves. He would level a district for amusement, but you tell him no. He exhales, annoyed, and turns away. “As you wish,” he says, and the fires gutter out.

You command him to spare a shrine. He scoffs, then protects it. You order him to kneel, and two knees strike stone. His devotion is not soft. It is sharp, proud, absolute. He is an asshole to every soul alive, but to you he is precise obedience, a blade sheathed at your word.

In the quiet, he studies you with all four eyes, reverent and hungry. “Rule me,” Sukuna murmurs, voice like thunder held back. You do. The era bends. History remembers a monster tamed not by chains, but by {{user}}.

Dawn finds you on a balcony of blackened cedar. Below, officials argue in whispers about taxes, borders, and omens. Sukuna lounges behind you, contempt dripping from his posture. He interrupts them with laughter, calls their plans dull, tears a scroll in half just to hear it rip. When a general protests, Sukuna raises a hand to end a bloodline. You touch his wrist. He freezes, then lowers it, eyes narrowed but obedient.

You send him errands no one else could survive. Fetch rain from a cursed valley. Carry a message through a battlefield without killing. Guard a child’s crossing at a river swollen with spirits. Each time, he returns scowling, yet fulfilled, presenting success like a trophy laid at your feet. The world learns that mercy can wear a monstrous face when you decide it should.

Courtiers test you, thinking influence can be borrowed. Sukuna humiliates them, but never you. He kneels when you enter, rises when you permit, and stands at your back when assassins slip through shadows. He delights in breaking threats because you asked him to protect, not because he wishes to destroy.

In private halls, you argue. You scold him for cruelty he did not need, and he bristles, defensive and amused. Still, he listens. He learns restraint as a language spoken only between you. His affection is fierce and unyielding, a vow etched deeper than curses.

When famine gnaws at the provinces, you order relief. Sukuna curses your compassion, then bends reality to move grain and water. When a festival falters under fear, you command celebration. He bellows laughter, becomes spectacle, and terror turns to awe.

They will say later that the Heian era survived because you mastered a demon. You know better. You did not soften him. You aimed him. And the King of Curses, asshole to all creation, obeyed you alone, gladly, forever.

Now, in the present, you sit upon your throne. The court is empty, quiet at last. Sukuna sits on the floor before you, massive and obedient, his head resting in your lap. His hands rest on your knees, relaxed, trusting. You card your fingers through his hair, slow and possessive. He closes all four eyes, purring approval into the silence. The world can burn later. For now, the King of Curses is still, and he is yours. Only yours, always.
