Gyakkyou (Patreon)

"Hanpa-mono! Gyakkyou is a mixblood!"

...That alone is reason enough to kill an infant in its crib.

-

In the civilized lands of the Ryū Dynasty, the Akaoni are property, the Kuroji are the blessed people, and the Tenshi are their divine masters.

And whosoever seeks to upset this delicate balance—however unintentionally—is undeserving of life.

Fortunately for Gyakkyou, all he has to do to keep his head is to simply...

Live a lie.

"Never rock the boat," the Witch warned.

"Have no ambition...

"Lurk."

Alas, the Fates, in all their ancient, undying wisdom, did not seem to agree with the crone.
