Warning: This story includes childbirth, but not in the traditional sense. It is more like a cursed fetus or the Nine Phases Diagram, and what is born is a little Mona kitty!
I made a new cover illustration, though I may change it again later.
From the moment Akechi Goro was born, his family had been offered up to the gods.
He used to worry about his name and his clan's strange attitude toward him, but he finally got his answers once he came of age.
He could not see the gods, but their presence was everywhere. He was afraid. He wanted to escape... To him, they were not the gods his family spoke of, but evil gods.
After paying the price to an evil god one day, he gained power of his own.
Now he would use this hard-won power to fight for the life he wanted.
Theme: Leaving a feudal family to go to school
