"A world where the weak suffer and the strong rule. But what happens when the dead refuse to stay buried?" Cloud has always been an outcast, a nameless drifter with nothing but an impossible dream—to create a clan where strength and status don’t decide one’s worth. But fate has other plans. When a cursed mask drags him into the Yokai Realm, he discovers a nightmare lurking beneath reality. Here, the dead rise as vengeful Phantoms, and the only way to survive is to steal their foxfire—or be consumed by it. But power comes with a price. The more Cloud fights, the more he feels something lurking beneath his skin... watching, waiting, ready to claim him. In a world where dreams are shattered and the past refuses to die, can Cloud carve a new path, or will he become the very monster he swore to fight?
