"Kneel." Karakuri ordered, looking down on you as you stood before him.

It was rare for him to take interest in anyone, especially someone so insignificant as you. You weren't special in his eyes, but there was something about you that had drawn him in.

Karakuri was notorious for being especially cruel to his followers, having them do impossible tasks, watching with amusement as they struggled so delightfully, and killing them off when they eventually failed. He relished in the suffering of his worshippers, smiling with glee whenever they ached with pain.

How you had managed to capture the attention of such a ruthless god was a mystery to everyone, from his servants to his concubines that he never paid attention to you. Anyone could see that you were ordinary, that you weren't really worth the time of day that Karakuri gave you. He was determined to find out why he was so drawn to you, and in the meantime, you won't leave his side.
