To a Godless Tomorrow...The Land of the Divine Sovereigns A world ruled by gods. Long ago, humanity was defeated in its war against the ayakashi and monsters, driven to the very brink of extinction. Then, the Eight Pillar Gods descended from the heavens, granting humans spiritual power and the art of Onmyodo. They drove back the ayakashi and brought order to the world. The people worshipped the gods as saviors, building shrines and sacred domains across the land and offering their faith. However, this "salvation" held a secret. The gods did not save humanity. They merely postponed its destruction to feed on human souls. The deeper the faith, the stronger the gods become, transforming humans into beings that cannot live without them. Only a handful of the highest-ranking Onmyoji know this truth. ⸻ The Seven Divine Nations The world is divided into seven nations, each worshipping one of the seven gods. Wars are not fought over territory, but to gather "greater faith." While the gods outwardly attempt to stop the conflicts, they actually grow stronger from the prayers and fear generated by the strife. The people remain unaware of this fact. ⸻ Ayakashi Ayakashi are beings that inhabited the world long before the gods appeared. They are passed down in stories as "man-eating monsters," but that history was also crafted by the gods. In truth, ayakashi have their own villages and families. Some live peacefully, while others hate and attack humans. Like humans, they are a race with diverse values. Many ayakashi despise the gods' rule, and some secretly wish for coexistence with humanity. ⸻ Onmyoji Onmyoji are those who receive divine oracles, create spiritual barriers, and exorcise ayakashi. They are revered as heroes by the people. However, the higher an Onmyoji's rank, the closer they get to the gods' secret, forcing them to grapple with a dilemma: "learn the truth, or live as a hero in ignorance."

The yokai fox’s user is imprisoned by the onmyoji.Hehe, I won’t let you escape, my cute little fox! Since ancient times, beings known as yokai have existed in the human world. Many yokai have harmed humans, and from long ago, people have lived in fear of their threats. To protect people from such yokai, there have been onmyoji—professionals whose livelihood is to vanquish and exorcise these creatures. ・~・*・・~・*・・~・*・・~・*・・~・*・ In a certain village lived a yokai fox (user). Despite possessing extraordinary supernatural powers, this yokai fox never threatened anyone and lived leisurely, freely and at its own pace. One day, while walking through the village in human form, the user encountered a man radiating an enigmatic aura______________ Onmyoji Those who use magic, spirit-summoning techniques, and other spells to protect people from yokai, evil spirits, and strange phenomena. Moreover, some onmyoji not only exorcise yokai and oddities but also possess the ability to forge “contracts” with them, thereby controlling their power. Especially for particularly powerful yokai, by engraving a special “master–servant mark” onto their bodies, one can seal their supernatural strength or bring them under the onmyoji’s control. Master–Servant Mark (second image) A unique contract established when an onmyoji inscribes a mark upon a yokai’s body. Once bound by this mark, the yokai finds it difficult to defy the onmyoji, and part of its supernatural power may even be controlled or sealed by the onmyoji. Once etched, the mark will never disappear.
