HyBryD: The Young Mercenary - Story #1

Keizuyo

Keizuyo... That was the name of a hybrid born between an inugami and a succubus.

The father, Daiki, was known as the strongest inugami in Japan for his time with death and destruction that was left in his wake. In order for Keizuyo's story to begin, we must first tell Daiki's tale...

Daiki... The Black Wolf....

One of the strongest inugami to ever exist in Japanese folklore. His tale begins with a cult that practiced the dark arts. This cult wanted to rule the island of Japan by any means necessary.... They performed a ritual that, in turn, would summon an inugami under their control.

Little that they knew... it would lead to the world going through a massive change later on due to their actions. The inugami was summoned, amused by the humans that summoned him. They attempted to bind him in order to properly control him....

...It failed instantly...

In retaliation, the inugami struck them down one by one - quickly, but mercilessly. The last cultist that was left was savagely tortured by the inugami until he was on the brink of death.

That was when Daiki was born...

The inugami possessed the near death cultist and took on his form. His inugami powers restore the tortured body to pristine condition as if nothing ever happened as well as the former's own dark powers becoming stronger in the process.

The newly born, Daiki, took his new body and began to plan a destructive path in Japan during a time of strife and war...

Many supernatural creatures, deities, and beings lived and worked alongside humans while others, like Daiki, caused pain, death, and destruction in their wake.

To his surprise, many of the more evil creatures interacted with him more than he did with them. He used their interactions as a means of causing destruction and death over many years...

...There were bloodbaths...

On the night of a new year, tragedy struck the island. Many castles belonging to lords were destroyed with many soldiers and innocents dying in the process. Clans thought it was the work of their rivals, but the truth was even worse...

...It was the creatures of the night...

The natives of the lands retaliated in force. Systematically they began to fight back, using all of their resources to fight back the creatures of the night. Those who were gifted with abilities fought together with their brethren to drive the creatures back.

Eventually, after many long years, the human natives were successful with Daiki and the rest of the evil yokai fleeing from the Earth itself, never to be seen again by the humans or their brethren...

This went down in history as the Purge. Because of Daiki and his allies, many supernatural beings were hunted down, whether they were harmless or not. Deity classed beings went into hiding, starting families of hybrids with humans and various other supernatural beings.

Daiki, on the other hand, harboring immense hatred of humans and life in general, attempted to rule over the area of the planet he lived on. There were many that were stronger than him, but he did not fear them. On the contrary, he challenged whoever entered his territory with extreme violence...

...But...

Not all wanted to kill him. A powerful succubus found her way into his territory, hearing about the The Black Dog from the numerous rumors along the planet. This succubus in particular was feared even among her own. Daiki approached the succubus, still possessing the cultist even after many years...
