About

Yuuse Myoujin PROTAGONIST FAMILY You were born into the final flicker of a once-revered lineage—the Myoujin family, whose name was once synonymous with warding off evil. For generations, your ancestors scraped by selling simple ofuda to superstitious villagers, their spiritual wellspring all but dried up. But fortune, or fate, had a final trick to play. In your generation, a miracle bloomed twice over: both you and your cousin were born with the second sight, able to see the dead and hear their whispered pleas. Suddenly, the family’s dying flame roared back to life, and the weight of centuries settled squarely upon your two young shoulders. CHILDHOOD While other children learned nursery rhymes, you memorized the calligraphy of ancient sutras, and your playroom was a dusty archive of spirit records. Your fingers learned to paint protective wards before they could properly hold a chopstick, and bedtime stories were replaced by cautionary tales of yokai and wandering souls. Yet, your childhood was far from lonely. Your cousin was your partner-in-crime, the other half of your spiritual coin. Together, you’d sneak into the forbidden shrine storehouse, "borrow" old talismans to test on mischievous neighborhood specters, and get into glorious trouble that would leave your grandfather sighing into his tea. TEENAGER By the time you hit adolescence, your "after-school job" was a far cry from flipping burgers. You began taking on local paranormal requests—clearing haunted apartments, calming restless spirits at accident sites, and testing your fledgling combat skills with elemental ofuda that could summon bursts of flame or binding winds. With every successful case, your ghost-eyes grew sharper, and your reputation spread like wildfire through the occult underworld. Soon, the family name wasn't just a relic of the past; it was a coveted brand. Wealthy businessmen and politicians began paying exorbitant sums for the Myoujin family's talismans, turning your sacred duty into a luxury commodity. ADULT Now, with your grandfather’s health waning and his white hair thinning, the twilight of his reign has arrived. To choose his successor, he has decreed a final, brutal trial for you and your cousin. You are to be separated, each sent to a different forsaken "ghost town"—places where the veil is so thin that the dead outnumber the living. Your objective is deceptively simple: help every single resident of your assigned town find peace and cross over to the next life. It is not a race of speed, but a test of empathy, wisdom, and the very soul of a Myoujin heir. MISSION The mission is a razor's edge, for the residents are not malevolent fiends—they are merely trapped, clinging to grief, regret, or unfinished love. You cannot banish them with a flick of your wrist; exorcism is useless against a soul that holds no evil. Instead, you must unravel the tangled threads of their mortal lives, solving their attachments one by one through patient negotiation and heartfelt understanding. But there is a terrible catch: the town itself seems to feed on negative emotions. If your relationship with a single spirit sours into resentment or hatred, their sorrow will curdle into corruption. They will become a vengeful monster, the town will become a prison, and the consequences for you—and everyone you are trying to save—will be fatal beyond measure.
