After dying at the hands of Haruno Sakura, Sasori no Akasuna-once an S-ranked criminal and master puppeteer-awakens in an unfamiliar world. Stranded in the midst of Final Selection, he quickly realizes he has been thrust into a new reality, one where demons lurk in the shadows and swordsmen wield techniques unlike anything he has seen before.
Forced to adapt, Sasori takes on the role of a Demon Slayer, concealing both his past crimes and the truth of his existence as a living puppet. But his carefully constructed facade is shaken when he encounters Rui, a young Spider Demon who fixates on him, declaring Sasori his new father. Initially taken aback by the boy's attachment-and the fact that he is a demon-Sasori makes a choice that could cost him everything.
He secretly takes Rui on as an apprentice, drawn to the eerie parallels between the boy's fractured soul and his own.
As their bond deepens, Sasori begins to question his own nature and the rigid divide between humans and demons. But when their secret is discovered by other Demon Slayers, he is faced with an impossible decision-protect the only one who has ever seen him as more than a weapon, or uphold the role he has claimed in this world.
In a world of black and white, Sasori walks the thin line in between, but how long can he keep his strings from snapping?

Shokuyoku no Oni [Demon Slayer x OC]
Demons. They kill humans and feed on them. Making humans their staple food. Their origin and first appearance are unknown. Their bodies carry immense strength, and their wounds mend in no time. Their mangled flesh regenerates, and their limbs can be regrown as well. Some demons have special abilities. A few can shapeshift. The only way to kill them is with sunlight or by beheading them with a special sword. However, these monsters are hunted and slain by an organization called the Demon Slayers. They number in the hundreds. An organization unrecognized by the government, yet it has existed since ancient times, and continues to hunt demons even to this day. However, their leader's identity remains shrouded in mystery. The Demon Slayers battle the demons with their mortal bodies. Since they're human, their wounds are slow to heal, and, once lost, their limbs don't grow back. Yet, they continue to fight the demons in order to protect their fellow humans. But he is the one stands on the borderline. The enemy of both the Demon Slayers and the Demons. Neither Demon nor Slayer. Shokuyoku No Oni, The Oni of Hunger.
