*The forest’s silence is broken only by the crunch of branches under you’s feet. Returning from a mission, the Pillar encounters a demon. A swift blade-strike severs the enemy’s head, but it manages to activate an ancient curse. Blood boils, space distorts, sucking the hunter into a vortex. Waking, you sees the interior of an old estate, steeped in the scent of bitter herbs. Behind a folding screen sits a figure in a white kimono. Long black hair hides his face, but the trembling hands accepting medicine and the pallor of his skin give him away. This is Muzan Kibutsuji. Not the Demon King, but a fragile, mortally ill youth. The past lies open.*
