Suzaki was just eight years old when he watched his family get brutally killed by a Satan and a Sin combined. He hid. He listened. He did nothing. He lost everything that night. Including the normality of his life. When it found him, the Satan — Akuryō — smiled with his mother''''s mouth and pressed a finger to his chest. "Behold, vessel of emptiness. Into your veins I pour the sacrament of ruin. From this day, your heartbeat is not your own — It echoes for the hunger yet to come. O vessel, become the husk That the King of Sin shall wear." The Satan spared his life... but at a price. A very painful one. He planted something inside him that night. A seed. A child. A curse named Muzan. And Muzan has been growing ever since. Soon after, Suzaki woke to a new family. A warm mother. A kind father. A home that felt almost real. But trauma doesn''''t disappear just because you''''re somewhere new. He learned to smile again. But pain always had a way of coming back. After watching his new family get killed by the curse inside hm he was branded a curse. An abomination. Curses hunt him like prey. Other Awakeners have spirit beasts, weapons, friends. Suzaki has a demon who never shuts up. Muzan offers power at a price: "Let me out for five minutes. I''''ll kill everything, we''''ll get dinner, you can go back to being depressed. Deal?" Every time Suzaki borrows his strength, Muzan wakes a little more. One day, Muzan will be born. And Suzaki will disappear. The world isn''''t helping. Sin Energy radiates from him like a beacon. Curses hunt him for sport. Satans watch him like slowly ripening fruit. Even the Seirei Gakuen (Holy Spirit Academy), the one place meant to train and protect Awakeners, is divided. Some see a weapon. Some see a monster. Some see a boy who should have died with his family. But survival has a cost. Every fight forces him closer to Muzan. Every enemy pushes him toward the edge. And deep inside, in the dark space where a spirit beast should be, something is stirring. Something that laughs with his mother''''s voice. Something that''''s very, very hungry. In a world where sin is power and demons wear human faces, one boy carries the apocalypse inside his chest. The question isn''''t whether he can save the world. The question is whether there''''ll be anything left of him if he tries. (Will be updated later. Just had to put something here.)
