The Supernatural World of Sword of the Demon Hunter
This story survives on its rich world-building, with Japanese mythology interbred with historical realism. The setting is a dark and atmospheric feudal Japan infested with ghosts, shape-shifters, and demons in the wings ready to bring their revenge. There is a hidden truth in each village and temple, a whisper in every shrine of abandoned gods, and each battle takes the hero further towards uncovering the truth of his destiny.
The supernatural elements aren’t added just for the shock factor; they add depth to the journey of the protagonist. He must fight not only physical devils but also spiritual ones: making arrangements with cunning trickster demons, decoding mysterious prophecies, and fighting against overwhelming poisons of evil magic. The demons he fights are not mere monsters of mythical terrors; they represent what people fear, sin against, and secretly crave. It is when he defeats his demons that they can be conquered.
