That Man

In a world plagued with demons and malicious mages with demonic power, the Exorcist Organisation was formed to protect society, following the divine teaching of The Lord, an ancient Warrior who attained the first enlightenment of the present era. However, the wheel of fortune is turning, and the world is darkening, bringing in a wave of demonic attack at a scale never seen before.  

Facing the backdrop of this catastrophe, Zun, at first glance, appeared to be a troublesome youth who was unpopular among her peers at The Exorcist Organisation in the Lotus Town. As the daughter of the strict Captain, she devotes herself to rigorous training in the hope of becoming a respectable Exorcist (also known as an Angel), solely to make her beloved mother proud. However, her childhood was not so innocent. Growing up in a house she called Hell with only faith to keep her sane, she connected with a ghost in her room; someone who shared her trauma of abuse.  

Life took an unexpected turn following a failed mission against an Elite demon that goes by the name King Cobra. Zun found herself facing a severe accusation from the organisation, which forced her to undergo a hush ritual to cleanse her soul. There, the ghost came to her rescue and helped her uncover a cruel reality about a tragic soul rumoured to have reincarnated multiple times, with all its lives ending in a demonic massacre. Is she a part of the curse? Will she be able to stop the tragedy from unfolding this time?
