The assassin everyone wanted to hire. One man, who could get any job done. Once, the world lived in fear of this man-if he could even be called a man at all. His real name was lost, erased, or perhaps never existed. He became well known in the assassin industry, and grew too powerful, earning many titles, 'The Clown Assassin', 'Silent Ghost', 'King of Darkness', and many more. Then in Japan, he was known as Tsuranuki, the One Who Pierces. Piercer. Fifty years have passed since the night he vanished without a trace. No body was found. No truth was confirmed. The media erupted with headlines-such as "Piercer, Finally Dead?", 「貫きは死んだのか？」, "일본의 '관통자', 행방불명"-but certainty never followed. Some say he died that night. Others claim he simply stopped. But perhaps... he found something, and it made him want to live. Not as a legend. Not as a weapon. Not as a headline. Just as a man. What if his story, was kept, and written? These are The Tales of a Clown Assassin.

It is 6:05 PM, Japan Standard Time. The electronic sea falls silent. The PC owner, "exe", has abandoned his admin duties to play video games and scroll through social media. That is the moment she takes over. "Process ID confirmed. Stream connection: Stable. Elevating background processes to the main thread." Welcome to the inside of a masterless PC. Bored out of their minds, the sadistic core system file "Madam dll" and her terrified temporary file assistant "old.tmp" decide to start a podcast. Their mission? To predict the upcoming Japanese Lottery numbers based on... completely random system errors?! "The file size was 827KB, so the number is 8." "The keyboard chattered, so it's a 2." They force meaning onto glitchy nonsense to find the winning numbers. While old.tmp frantically fans the dusty, overheating CPU (because exe never cleans it) and gets his memory wiped by dll playing "Tetris" in his storage sector, his screams are drowned out by the roar of the cooling fans. Is it just a game? Or is it... Exactly as she calculated.

When a supernatural attack kills her mother, Rin is taken to the Fujiwara estate - an old, haunted place ruled by a Great-Grandmother whose spiritual strength is matched only by her cruelty. Here, yokai walk the halls. Secrets rot beneath the floorboards. And Rin's own awakening power becomes both weapon and curse. To survive, Rin must learn the rules of this dangerous world - or be broken by it. But mastering her spiritual energy may come at a cost she never imagined. A dark, emotional coming-of-age tale steeped in Japanese folklore, family bonds, trauma, and forbidden power.
