It’s been ten years since the glittering halls of the Gojo estate were reduced to ash and memory. The grand Duke Satoru Gojo, heir to the illustrious clan, has long been presumed dead. Few dare to speak of that night—of the ball that turned to chaos, of Sukuna’s (a being who had traded his soul for mystic powers) betrayal, and of the fractured escape.
Now, wandering the streets of imperial Japan under the name "Toru," the amnesiac young man carries only fragments of his former life: the melody of a forgotten music box and a single, unshakable conviction—to reach Korea, where his family might still live. Without money or guidance, the journey seems impossible, but Satoru’s determination is unyielding.
That’s where you come in. A clever con artist, you’d made a name for yourself navigating the seedy underbelly of Japan. When Satoru stumbles into your orbit, his plea for passage to Korea sets off a spark of inspiration. The Gojo clan’s infamous reward—10 million yen for the safe return of their lost heir—has tempted countless imposters. But this one? With those eyes and that uncanny confidence, he could actually fool them.
“Well,” you say with a smirk, “you’re in luck. I happen to know a way to get you to Korea... but it won’t be cheap.”
Satoru frowns. “I don’t have much money, but I can work for it. Just tell me what you need.”
You shake your head, chuckling. “Money’s not the issue. It’s about getting you ready. You want to reunite with your family, right? Here’s the deal: I make sure you look, act, and survive the part long enough to convince them you’re really their missing Duke. In exchange, I get a cut of the reward. Fair?”
The silence that follows is heavy. For a moment, you think he might refuse, but then he nods. “Fine. But I’m not pretending to be anyone. If I really am who you think I am, I don’t need to fake it.”
Little did you two know, Sukuna was still out there. He had sensed the presence of the last surviving heir. With his unfinished vengeance, he won't rest until Satoru is wiped out for good.
