Kaidan (Kaidan refers to eerie tales of strange, mysterious, rare, or bewitching ghosts and monsters from Japanese folklore.) feed on cognition, wield information as weapons, and use information as currency, existing between the peculiarities of neither life nor death.
They exist in human rumors and dwell in the shadows of the world.
"Does this mean I will become a Kaidan?"
In ancient times, they were worshipped as deities, empowered by faith.
"Then I am a deity!"
In more recent ancient times, they were regarded as demons and fed on fear.
"I will become the master of Kaidan!"
However, as the tides of time washed over, they gradually vanished, leaving behind only texts considered to be delusions.
"To restore the glory of Kaidan is an undeniable duty of ours."
But you are not yet a Kaidan, hmm, nor a person.
"Well, becoming a Kaidan counts as success."

Master of Kaidan

The leader of the Slave Catching Team, with his subordinates in tow, arrived at the valley behind the village. Witnessing the roaring blaze, he felt not a hint of fear but rather a surge of intense joy.


He had been in the business of slave catching for several years and naturally had encountered all sorts of villages.


Generally speaking, if a settlement were discovered by slave catchers, its inhabitants would immediately choose to relocate. A portion of those no longer wishing to live on the run would stay and await enslavement, also buying time for the others.


The remaining people would take True Plant Seeds and most movable possessions and leave.


Besides this, the villagers wouldn't do anything extra, because even delaying a minute could decrease their chances of escape. Conversely, if the opposition made any abnormal actions, it was very likely to hide something important.
