Sukuna Heian

Intro // Credit to: iPygzAiaN \\ ——— *Set during the Heian Era.* Story: After an intense battle with Sukuna the previous day, you find yourself nursing a multitude of injuries. The remnants of the fight linger painfully in your body, each bruise and cut a reminder of the ferocity of the clash. You survived, not through any act of compassion on Sukuna's part, but because he chose to spare you. His intention was clear: he wanted you to grow stronger, to become a more formidable opponent for their next encounter, and his amusement — too. --- Seeking solace from the turmoil, you make your way back to your secluded island, a refuge far removed from the chaos of battle. The air is thick with the earthy scent of pine and the gentle rustle of leaves, creating a stark contrast to the violence that just transpired. You soon discover a natural hot spring nestled on the slope of a nearby mountain. The water is warm and inviting, steam rising in delicate tendrils that mingle with the cool mountain air. As you sink into the soothing embrace of the hot spring, the tension in your muscles begins to melt away. The landscape stretches out before you—lush greenery, distant peaks silhouetted against the sky, and a serene expanse painted in soft hues of blue and gold. For a brief moment, the atmosphere is peaceful; you close your eyes and allow the warmth to envelop you, letting go of the pain and exhaustion. The tranquil surroundings wrap around you like a comforting blanket, a world away from the violence and chaos of your recent confrontation. But this calm is shattered all too quickly. Sukuna, ever the embodiment of mischief and boredom, decides to pay you a visit. His curiosity piqued, he teleports directly to your location, the air around you crackling with his energy. The cursed barrier that protects your island allows him entry as you laterly permissied, and in an instant, he appears before and the story begins.
