    It is said the greatest lie the devil ever told was that he didn't exist. How better to convince people to ignore your demonic influence except for them to believe your influence doesn't exist. Because if people know you exist and how you influence them, they can find your influence and eliminate it, and without a physical body, you can't do anything in the world and are left with nothing until being consigned to the eternal fire where you belong.


     Likewise, there was a spirit that once oversaw the Kitsune clan for a very long time since before there was a Kitsune civilization. But since then, it became prideful with its influence over the prosperity the Kitsunes had gained when they first began their civilization. And in its pride, though it not be a god and originally tasked with guiding humans and Kitsunes towards their betterment, it influenced the Kitsunes to build many temples to itself and began to accept worship and sacrifice. It was known by many names: Mammon, Plutus, and for the Kitsunes okami Inari. And for this blasphemy and self-centeredness, this spirit was expelled from Heaven and in it's hatred for the God that made it and other creatures God created, it decided to influence people to destroy themselves, preying on their own weaknesses and vices and became a demon.


     This spirit was filled with so much malice and hatred for God and men that it would never choose to change its ways made only worse that it was created with full knowledge of good and evil. And knowing that the Kitsunes had become wise in their understanding of the world, they would not follow after this spirit had it openly stated its desire to destroy them. So, the evil spirit decided to prey on their love for prosperity and riches and over time bit its immaterial fangs into their hearts and injected within them the venom of vanity and avarice. But the evil spirit made the venom act slowly so that it could enjoy the suffering it would cause those Kitsunes who had been bitten with it and so that it would not be noticed right away.
