Every Villain Has Tried to Win Me Over

Updated at 22:00. If there is no update, don't wait up. As a phoenix recreated from the remnants of demonic power, Heiyu is weak and feeble. At first, his body is even badly impaired, and he cannot see.

So he doesn't know that the moment he awakens, he has landed amid the wreckage left behind after Ryomen Sukuna's hunt.

After being killed by Sukuna again and again, he instead uses the phoenix's nature to be reborn time and time again, his flames growing purer and stronger.

He is not as complete as a phoenix should be, so he forgets all his memories from before each rebirth.

Heiyu, after being reborn many times: The human in front of me smells of blood, but he's very gentle and has no murderous intent toward me. He must be a very good human!

[Phoenix Heiyu: Affection +10]

[Current affection: 10]

Sukuna has just eaten his fill. When he realizes that the weak demon before him cannot be killed for now, he finds himself unusually amused, like a house cat playing with a mouse.

Besides, the cold prompt appearing in his ears is playing out a sequence of words he has never heard before. It's quite novel.

In the moonlight, Sukuna looks at the pretty demon's black eyelashes fluttering with delight, and more or less guesses what "affection" means.

[Beep...]

[Player's desire to pursue detected]

[Loading reward System...]

At first, the pursuers discover that the phoenix flames released when Heiyu dies are very useful.

They can burn sorcerers, curses, onmyoji, and people with supernatural abilities...

They can even burn gods!

The trouble is, every time Heiyu is reborn, they have to get to know him all over again and earn his affection from scratch.

Going on a trip together again is such a hassle.

At first, the pursuers push Heiyu toward death without hesitation. After all, it's a deal with no cost.

But later, they find themselves caring about the memories Heiyu has completely forgotten, memories that will never come back.

In the midst of this painful turmoil, one time after Heiyu dies, the phoenix flames of rebirth shatter into golden ashes. They do not gather to form the same gentle, quiet demon as before.

Heiyu's affection resets to zero once more, and the Pursuit System never appears again.

At last, they go mad through the endless years.

Things to know before reading:

1. The male lead will remember all his memories in the end, and there will be a massive free-for-all bringing together the former pursuers.

2. The pairing is undecided.

3. Each pursuit arc ends with the phoenix's rebirth.

4. The pursuers currently include Sukuna, Verlaine, and Byakuya.

Moral: Hurting others will eventually hurt you too.
