After finishing his atonement in hell, Yansheng was reincarnated in another world and became a son of the Zenin clan.
PS: Twins again, for the umpteenth time.
When Yansheng saw his twin younger brother's familiar birthmark-covered face, his vision went black and he began retching.
Maybe he should go back to hell and start over, haha.
Fortunately, it seems that Yoriichi has no memories of his previous life.
Before Yansheng could celebrate, he heard his father shout, "Twins are an ill omen!"
So much for the modern era! Why is it the same old story again?
Yansheng realized with despair that he had indeed been reincarnated in the modern era, but into a modern feudal clan even more backward than the Warring States period.
His life was ruined after all.
Yansheng, with his immense cursed energy, was hailed as the clan's hope, while Yoriichi, born with zero cursed energy and a Heavenly Restriction, was seen as a disgrace.
Yansheng watched this familiar drama unfold with cold eyes, negativity churning inside him.
You sorcerers have no idea what a child of the gods is. Yoriichi is the sun, a strong warrior born with the Transparent World, the one I can never become and will forever chase after--
Ugh.
As the servants cried out, "Young Master Yansheng's cursed energy has grown even stronger!" Yansheng threw up.
Ugh, Yoriichi. Ugh, child of the gods. Ugh, the sun.
Ugh, reborn.
.
Yoriichi: Just being cute
Yansheng: Child of the gods
Gojo, Geto, and Shoko: ?
Someone please teach me how to get rid of my brother-complex filter.
Yansheng: What do those tasteless people of the Zenin clan know about a child of the gods? They don't understand that Yoriichi's innate Transparent World and unparalleled swordsmanship are beyond compare. His powerful cursed energy and Ten Shadows Technique can't hold a candle to one of Yoriichi's fingers. Yoriichi is a child of the gods, the sun, someone blessed by fate, someone us mere mortals can never catch up to, and so on and so forth.
Zenin clan: ???
What is this guy, whose cursed energy grows from inheriting the Ten Shadows Technique and breathing styles, even talking about? What kind of mortal are you?! Whether you're a mere mortal or just humblebragging, we'll be the judge of that!
[Reading Guide]
1. The older brother with the Ten Shadows Technique vs. the younger brother with a Heavenly Restriction.
2. The author prefers the name "Yansheng" for the older brother.
3. The sorcerer world's attitude toward twins is much like that of the Warring States period in the original Demon Slayer story. The circumstances of someone with a Heavenly Restriction are almost identical to those of young Yoriichi in the original story, which inspired this idea.
4. This was written in a rush of excitement after watching the Demon Slayer movie. I hope to start writing before the second installment comes out in 2027 (fingers crossed). I said I didn't want to write Jujutsu Kaisen again or touch Demon Slayer again, but I was lured back in. People really do keep eating their words and stepping into the same river again and again.
5. Love is the most twisted curse, but it can also overcome anything.
