Meet Maxwell Duncan, an ordinary guy in Japan. One day, he meets Akuro, a cat who gives him a cursed bracelet. This bracelet lets Maxwell turn into different monsters. Now, Maxwell must learn to control his new powers and face powerful challenges in a world of ghosts and creatures.

I can Transform Into Monsters!!

"Have you heard about the Plumes?" Gizo asked, her tone now serious.

Hito and Akuro exchanged puzzled looks. "The Plumes?" Akuro repeated.

Gizo nodded. "Yes, they're a new secret organization. Very few know about them, and those who do often wish they didn't. They're known for their secrecy and their... peculiar methods."

Hito frowned. "So, this secret organization... their costume involves feathers?"

Gizo chuckled. "Not just any feathers. They use these fake feathers as a calling card, a way to taunt their enemies and mislead investigators. It's part of their game, a twisted sense of humor."

"But... what do they do?" Hito asked, his curiosity tinged with frustration.

Gizo shrugged nonchalantly. "Who knows?"

Akuro frowned, clearly skeptical. "Come on... you seem like someone who knows about these types of things."

Gizo sighed. "I said 'might,' didn't I? But if you want my theory, I guess they do this to scare the police. Create chaos, sow fear, and keep everyone guessing. It's a power play."

Akuro looked at the plume with skepticism, a strange look crossing his face.

"Well... I guess this is it. Now, remember our deal," Gizo reminded them.

"One more thing... what do you know about those strange shadows that have been attacking the town?" Akuro asked.

Gizo stood silent for a moment. "...This is exactly what I'm also trying to find out. And I think it has to do with your friend who wears the bracelet."

Gizo nodded. "This... Maxwell... I felt a strange aura when he came here."

Akuro stood silent, processing the implications. Maxwell, being the cause of all this? He knew the power of the bracelet was already strong enough that even he couldn't wear it... but could it really be attracting these shadows?

Hito's expression hardened. "If Maxwell is involved, we need to figure this out quickly."

Gizo's eyes gleamed behind her mask. "Indeed. Keep a close eye on him. The power of that bracelet is far more dangerous than you realize."

"And Akuro," Gizo said, her voice cutting through the tension.

"I know you might have a grudge against me, and I know for a fact that you like this... Maxwell. But don't make the same mistake."

For the first time, Akuro glared at Gizo, a fierce intensity in his eyes. There was a heavy silence in the room.

"Let's get out of here," Akuro finally said, his voice steady but filled with underlying tension.

Gizo stood silent as the felines left the room. Once they were gone, she chuckled to herself. "Ah... the mistake... it was a blissful one," she murmured, her voice tinged with a strange satisfaction.
