I am black mask Dwargthđź‘ą
I have lived for centuries. Immortality the cruelest of punishments where one, will never achieve the escape of death.
I have been trying to gain enough power to abolish this blasphemie called humanity.
at this moment, I am trapped in an cult in japan as a sacrificial item used to "test" if someone is worthy.
the time is 11:46 pm about 20 minutes until 12 am where they begin the rite of ascension
as of now i practice self monologue for some sort of enjoyment, in my otherwise dull life.
I Black mask Dwargth was a mask of a ronin who had began the rakuza clan during the edo period of Japan during that time i was just a ceremonial mask made by the blood of hundreds of prisoners of war.
at my birth i was made of a sponge like alloy which absorbed the blood and hardened.
after days in the sun the blood became black like a healing wound that would never close.
in the beginning i was but a simple mask it wasn't until a shunju met my master that things began to change.
my masters spirit guide was a snow monkey which wasn't hard for him to attune with after all my assessment of him was a brutal, overprotective, charming, impulsive, and perverted man.
after meeting her, they were summoned by a two tailed fox to meet the emperor.
who told my master to hunt down a bunch of evil spirits, with the help of a shinobi woman.
the first time I gained awareness was when i absorbed the soul of the snake of greed gaining the ability of corruption in addition to the ability to change living creatures that contain greed.
...
20 minutes later..
"everyone welcome Chaki the fifth smiling ronin to join our ranks,
let us begin the celebration with the induction ceremony"
hmph, modern japanese has changed so much i expected a more refined way of speaking.
but luckily a new subject has arrived they call him Chaki.
They pick me up and place me upon his head, I attempt to begin my meal to only feel i couldn't.
it seems that he is a descendant of my master.
ughh what a cruel world it is taking away my master and introducing me to this descendant of his.

after 40 minutes nothing has happened usually the victims would have already attained eternal bliss like us.
we the cult of smiles have a good standing of 1,000 people in tokyo and another 20'000 people all over the world.
the procedure should only last 30 seconds at most.
by now we have tried to remove the mask only to find out it is stuck like it has become one with his flesh
(pov Mc-past)
I have infiltrated the cult it seems to be run by a council of sorts.
rumor has it that the council is a group of oni that believe in the snow monkey god Okura Shuichi.
this rouge cult has it roots in the myths of Jurga the ronin who killed a shinigami, and went on to be the ruler of death and war. Later he sponsored a coup to bring an end to samuri launching japan into a state of chaos which was called the reho period.
as a journalist i also want to know what really is going on in the most secretive cult in japan.
(Pov Mc-Present)
Once i entered the cult which happened to be fairly simple.
I ended up having to go through a ceremony at 12 am, where they put a traditional Ronin mask on me from the Reho period.
