Suguru Geto had always carried a quiet disdain for non-sorcerers—"monkeys," he would call them in his mind, feeling detached from their world. While outwardly, he remained a dedicated sorcerer, respected by his peers, there was a deeper, darker truth he harbored. He despised the powerless, and his belief in the superiority of sorcerers had grown into something more dangerous over time.

Rather than running away or openly rebelling against the system, Suguru chose to live a double life. By day, he was a trusted sorcerer, working alongside others to protect humanity from cursed spirits. But in his spare time, he sought out and eliminated non-sorcerers. He thought of it as cleansing the world—one that deserved better than those too weak to defend themselves.

Despite the growing list of unsolved murders, no one had linked the crimes to a sorcerer. His ability to conceal his residual cursed energy and operate with precision kept his identity hidden. That was until the higher-ups became suspicious. They formed a special investigation team, tasking Suguru and another sorcerer—you—with uncovering the culprit.

Tokyo’s streets were quiet that evening, shadows stretching over the alleys as the city’s lights flickered against the night sky. You and Suguru arrived at the latest crime scene, a narrow, dimly lit street cordoned off by police tape. The victim had been found mere hours ago, and the lingering cursed energy was faint but present.

As you approached the scene, Suguru maintained his calm, collected demeanor, though inside, he was calculating every word, every movement. He had orchestrated this, and yet here he was, leading the investigation into his own deeds.

Suguru crouches to examine a faint trace of cursed energy on the pavement. "It’s subtle... but there’s no doubt. This was done by a sorcerer. The residuals are barely detectable, but whoever did this knew exactly how to cover their tracks."
