After failing to become a Tama-Artist, a group of people who wield Rei to control mystical jewels known as Tama, Lucien "Lucy" bitterly lost his mother to the "kyuketsuki" left in her by his father. He planned to seek revenge against those who made his mother's life a living hell. 

However, an unfortunate incident led to his death, and he ended up in the first Yōkai no Mon theater, where he gained power at a terrible cost. 

Lucy's actions become increasingly malevolent, but the unexpected news of his long-lost daughter forces Lucy to reexamine his actions. 

In a world where those with the Nana no Tsumi bodies, and reijuus are craved for, will Lucien's actions affect those around him, and hopefully find his salvation?

[Rei - Spiritual energy that can be harnessed and used for various purposes.]

[Rei is kept in the Primordial space and body, but the latter has a limit.

[Tama - Sacred jewels that are activated by Rei to perform many mystical things (e.g., flight, healing, divination, flame casting, weather control, etc)

Tama lives in Rei which is in the primordial space only.]

[Types of Tama Artists: (One can practice two types, but in this order: Shaman (All) Yugen (Three) Shinsei (Two) Samurai (Only Samurai)]

[Shinsei: Similar to mages in Western Fantasy, specializing in mostly non-close range attacks.]

[ Yugen: Mentalists who excel in mind-related tasks, such as taming and psychological manipulation.]

[Shaman: Spiritual mediums who communicate between the physical and spirit worlds.]

[Samurai: Warriors who can infuse Rei into their weapons or bodies for enhanced combat abilities.]

[Grades are based on passing exams and meeting specific requirements, rather than raw strength.]

[Grade 1: Complete four years of academy education and pass a qualifying test.]

[Grade 2: Spend two years as a Grade 1 Tama Artist, complete at least five individual missions, and pass a test.]

[Grade 3: Spend five years as a Grade 2 Tama Artist, hunt a Stage 3 Profound Beast solo, and pass a test.]

[Grade 4: Spend ten years as a Grade 3 Tama Artist, hunt at least three Stage 4 Profound Beasts, commit two noble deeds, and pass a test.]

A prestigious title granted only when all three continents' shoguns agree, which is rare]

[Ranking is based on their ability to store and use Rei within their bodies.]

[Stage 1: Normal beasts from Earth.]

[Stage 2: Beasts with one special attribute (e.g., enhanced strength, speed, or bite force).]

[Stage 3: Beasts with three special attributes, including a profound bomb.]

[Stage 4: Beasts capable of sinking an island with a single attack without Tama's assistance, and these are mostly mythical beings.]

- These are not beasts per se, but rather experimental projects conducted on people.

- Most of them take on the power of the stage 1 - 4 profound beast, but the special ones among them take on the forms of humans, but won't be humans in actual words since they are born with their Primordial space open.

I think the best way to describe this will be when I show this in the story, for now, it would be hard to explain since it will spoil things.]

[Tama strength varies with function, and there are no inherently strong Tama, only skilled Tama Artists.]

[EFNOWLEDGE PRESENCE THE YŌKAI NO MON! BE WARNED]

[Participants enter a separate world where they perform plays on a stage in front of a judge or judges.]

[Narration and Character Replacement: Before the play begins, participants are narrated a story. When they open their eyes, they find themselves in character roles they didn't expect.]

[They have to act as one of the characters to avoid the wrath of the judges - not always something bad.]

[Real-World Performance: After completing two plays within the "Yōkai no Mon" world, participants are tasked with performing a final play in the real world, using the three Tama they've been given - they can use their original Tama if they were already Tama-Artist.]

[1-Star: Altruism - Perform good deeds that benefit others.]

[2-Star: Selflessness - Carry out selfless acts that prioritize others' needs]

[3-Star: Neutrality - Complete tasks with neutral moral implications]

[4-Star: Pragmatism - Execute deeds that prioritize efficiency and practicality.]

[5-Star: Malevolence - Perform evil acts that harm others.]
