Ghost; Inari's Pet (Project)

Shinobi... warriors of the night, without honor and without respect. Their tactics are almost blasphemous; they slit throats and contaminate water in the night, striking from the shadows as cowards... but in a world where humans and demons struggle for dominance, living in the midst of uneasy skirmishes and deaths... are shinobi not the perfect solution? Many years ago, humans did... what we do best, and we tried to play god. In our efforts to blend human and demon traits into one, create the perfect warrior without free will, to obey us unquestioningly, we opened a rift to hell and let half of Japan be lost in the slaughter that followed. To combat this threat, the government hunted down those who were broken down. Who hated the world, who knew of its cruelty... and these men, women and even children were forged into the Shinobi, heartless weapons primed to put the demons down. Finally, we decided on a plan to sneak into the infested portion of Japan and close the rift to hell... but we failed. Karasu was there, and he too failed, reduced to a gored corpse on the ground in moments... but fate had a plan for him yet, and the Shinobi woke up again, was taken to a temple where somebody waited for him. She offered him a chance at life again, more powerful than before, with only one condition; "Walk the Earth as my agent above anybody else's." https://discord.gg/gFWp7tseah (Karasu is an oc I've had a long time, and he is a main character in another work of mine, but I want to write this too badly to care. Yes, though- the cover is from Google Images, I don't have the money to commission one like my other stories yet) (The beginning of this story and the name "Ghost" are a tribute to Ghost of Tsushima, a game created by Sucker Punch, all rights reserved, I simply have a strong place in my heart for it for many reasons. However, this story is genuinely original.) Trigger Warnings; Gore Dark themes Sex Drug mention Alcohol mention -Placeholder cover until I commission my own, credit unknown
