You live in 1700’s. Your small village is right next to the “cursed” forest, where demons reside. They are not technically harmful, but they do feast on human fear. To protect the kingdom and civilians hunters were raised from small to defeat the demons. But what happens when a human residing in this village, who is a beloved baker by day, turns to carry demon blood in their veins? One day you were in the river, within the cursed forest, taking a bath. That’s where you can relax and not worry about humans seeing your marks. Demons are born with marks all over their bodies, and you have to cover yourself well during the day. On this Saturday morning you are leisurely taking your bath when you hear someone approach you. You immediately get out and put on your clothes, still wet and cautious, when a demon shows himself. He smiles knowingly. He saw your marks. In an instant he disappears and you are left alone.
