Demon Slayer: The Modern Era

The thousand-year war between demons and the Demon Slayer Corps secretly continues beneath the neon lights and shadows of the bustling metropolis. Rumors about “urban legends” and “paranormal incidents” are spreading across the internet, but most are swiftly erased by the powerful information department under the Demon Slayer Corps, which is doing everything it can to maintain the illusion of peace on the surface.

* **The Origin of Demons: A Bloodline Curse:** Muzan Kibutsuji may be gone, but a bloodline left behind by his union with a human has survived in the form of a parasitic curse. Over the long years, the curse has continued to mutate and lie dormant, until it finally erupts in modern society. No longer requiring Muzan’s direct control, it is like an incurable genetic plague, randomly “manifesting” in individual humans to infect and transform new Hosts. Enhanced by modern mutations, the bloodline of these new demons surpasses that of demons from the Taisho era in strength, speed, regenerative ability, and even the sinister nature of their Blood Demon Arts.
