The Savior of the Kamo Family

Kamo Rikka, once a savior of the world, is reincarnated as the legitimate son of the Kamo family, one of the Three Great Jujutsu Families, after saving the world for a second time.

Born burdened with an enormous curse, the child is despised by everyone. His mother dies because of him, his father treats him like dangerous trash to be discarded, and his older brother, the heir who inherited the family's technique, ignores him.

He is no longer the one and only savior, no longer the irreplaceable last Master, and no longer... Fujimaru Ritsuka.

He no longer needs to pray every night before bed for the next day to come. He no longer needs to be eloquent enough to please everyone. He no longer needs to face farewells and losses that could come at any moment.

So now, he should live an ordinary, happy life, just as he promised everyone he would.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten how to live an ordinary life.

So he imitates those distant memories and tries his best to spend each day in peace, in peace.

He smiles as he used to. He listens as he used to. He helps others as he used to.

A life in which he could say, calmly, that it would be enough whenever it ended, was probably a happy one.

That was what Kamo Rikka thought.

Until that person came before him and exposed all the false pretenses.

"Hey, hey, what did you do? Being cursed by the whole world must feel about like this, huh?"

That's right. He was cursed by the world.

By the worlds he had trampled, by the flesh and blood he had left behind, by the souls beneath his feet.

He told that person that if he lived, he might destroy this world too; if he died, perhaps he could bring all the causes and effects to an end.

"What's with all the rambling? Just tell me, do you want to live or not?"

The person crouched in the shade of a tree with a lollipop in their mouth. Their beautiful blue eyes shifted, and before he could answer, they grabbed him by the arm and hauled him up. "Never mind, I don't care. I've decided. I'm taking you away!"

And so, a brand-new story began.

Kamo Rikka no longer has the strength to be a savior. Even so, having once received help from everyone and stood in their place until the end, this time he wants to be there for someone.

Warnings:

* Gudao has severe PTSD, and there is a high likelihood of physical and emotional suffering. (I really do love watching a savior break down.)

* Gudao's ability is still summoning, but the Servants he summons have no consciousness. Heroic Spirit consciousness may appear later or much later.

* Gudao is extremely overpowered. Really, extremely.

* This is my first attempt at a romance-focused story. I want to try writing hurt/comfort. It may get very melodramatic, and could run wild like a horse with its reins cut.

*Pairing: 5T5
