The Beginning of the Nightmare
World Introduction: The Era of Wandering Spirits
A World Shrouded in Fear
Once, the balance between the living and the dead was absolute. The Underworld, ruled by King Yama, maintained strict control over spirits, ensuring that souls passed through judgment before being reborn or cast into eternal darkness.
But one day, King Yama vanished.
With no ruler to command them, the spirits of the dead—vengeful, lost, and enraged—broke free from the Underworld. No longer bound by divine laws, they flooded into the living world, spreading terror and chaos.
At first, humanity thought it was mere folklore, urban legends whispered in the dark. Until the first mass haunting.
Cities turned into ghost-infested ruins overnight. The strongest of these spirits—Cursed Ghosts, Vengeful Wraiths, and Spectral Beasts—began hunting the living, feeding on fear and pain. Some people were possessed, others were torn apart, and a few unlucky ones were cursed, their bodies serving as vessels for spirits to grow stronger.
Governments collapsed trying to contain the spiritual invasion. Nations crumbled. The world fell into an Era of Wandering Spirits—where ghosts roamed freely, and humans were nothing but prey.
The Survivors and the Rise of Ghost Hunters
But humans are creatures of adaptation. Survival breeds innovation.
From the ruins of the old world, certain individuals awakened powers—the ability to see, manipulate, and bind ghosts. These people, known as Exorcists, Ghost Hunters, and Spirit Binders, became humanity's last hope.
Organizations and secret factions were formed, hunting and capturing spirits to prevent the world from falling into complete despair. Some learned to contract ghosts rather than destroy them, using their abilities for combat, information, or even healing.
However, the ghosts evolved too. The strongest of them formed Ghost Clans, ruling over ruined cities and hunting for human souls to grow stronger. The weakest ghosts served under them, becoming nothing more than tools for destruction.
Kenji's World - The Cursed One
Kenji was born after the fall, in an era where ghosts were part of everyday life. He grew up knowing that some streets were cursed, some buildings whispered at night, and that the shadows were never empty.
But unlike adults children under age 14 dont know of world
 but he wasn't just aware of ghosts—they were drawn to him.
Cursed from childhood, Kenji spent his life being haunted, attacked, and abandoned. His parents feared him, his classmates bullied him, and even seasoned Exorcists warned him to stay away.
Yet, he survived.
And now, with the mysterious system awakening within him, he might not just survive—he might control the very ghosts that once hunted him.
The world had fallen to chaos.
But he would rise from it.
