This story won't hold your hand.
Whispers of Shikiban isn't about heroes, hope, or happy endings. It's about scars. It's about what happens when survival costs more than you thought it would. And it's about people who are broken, brutal, and still breathing anyway.
Reika Kagetsu isn't here to save the world. She's not some chosen one. She's the product of trauma, thrown into a system that breaks more than it builds. And even though she's not looking to be a hero… she might become something worse.
The lines between "good" and "evil"? They don't matter here. What matters is how far someone's willing to go to live. And what they become after.
You won't always root for Reika. You might not always understand her. But if you stick with her—you'll see why she fights.
This story will get messy. Twisted. Uncomfortable.And if you're here for that? You're exactly where you belong.
The manga version is coming. I'm building this world piece by piece, and if you're reading this—you're one of the first.Thanks for being here.And remember: monsters aren't born—they're trained.
