Tearthed By Lies

In a world drowning in curses, you're no one special. Just a man without cursed energy, scraping by in the shadows of sorcerers, never meant to matter in the grand scheme. But everything changes when she returns-Kaori Itadori, the girl you once cared for, long thought lost in the chaos that consumed her life.

She looks like her. She sounds like her. But something behind her eyes is deeply, chillingly wrong.

Unbeknownst to you, Kaori's body now harbors the ancient parasite known as Kenjaku-a master manipulator who has worn centuries of faces, orchestrating massacres and manipulating fate from behind the curtain. You should be a pawn to him. A disposable variable in a larger game. But you aren't. You're something else.

For the first time in centuries, Kenjaku hesitates.

Drawn in by your sincerity, your fragility, your refusal to flinch even when darkness breathes down your neck... he finds himself tethered by something unexpected. Something human.

Now caught between the fragments of the woman you once knew and the ancient being pulling her strings, you're forced to question everything-your feelings, your instincts, your own survival.

Because loving her might be the one mistake you won't survive.
And yet...
You can't walk away.
