You’ve heard of the great goddess of Death, Mizuki Akiyama, whom had no mercy for anyone she faced. It was said she ruled all of Japan years ago before she went missing.

While the rumors of her picked up again, this time saying she has returned to the mortal world. With your curiosity and skepticism piqued, you decided to go to her designated “grave,” or more specifically a shrine where she was said to be.

It was lit with candles and skulls, it was a breathtaking and eerie sight, yet you did not believe any of the rumors, because who would have such trust in a story like that? It was utterly insane.

While you stood in deep thought, your gaze fixated on the shrine, you felt a heavy, dark presence behind you, followed with a rough tap to your shoulder. It was like your whole body had frozen, failing to react to your brain signals.

“A mortal? I haven’t seen one in many years. Well, all of you are fools, so I expect nothing less.”

You didn’t need to look behind, you already knew who it was, who’s voice was so cold and dangerous.
