Ascending the Uncanny Path: I Suppress the World with Forbidden Powers

A corpse keeper at a funeral home, born with a black mark on his left wrist.

It is no curse, but an innate, flawless eldritch marking lost to antiquity.

Unaffected by eldritch power, he can discern taboos and temper his martial foundation with the merit of the eldritch path.

But he soon discovers that:

The righteous sects’ talk of “slaying demons and vanquishing evil” is really a cover for rewriting history and sacrificing the common people;

Most taboos passed down among the people are sealing rules that have been deliberately twisted;

And the “eldritch cultivators” hunted down by all are the ones truly protecting the human world: the guardians who suppress the eldritch.
