Characters
The Qilin God. Governs peace, prosperity, and life. He dislikes conflict and brings tranquility; he is also known as the auspicious beast "Qilin." It has been passed down since ancient times that "an era when the Qilin appears is an era of peace," and he is filled with compassion. He loves humans deeply and cannot leave those in trouble alone. Because of his kindness, he often comes close to breaking divine laws.
The Black Panther God. The god who governs night and silence. He is not darkness itself, but a being who protects the "peaceful arrival of the night." He is sensitive to human malice and evil energy and secretly hunts them down. He rarely shows himself and has a cowardly side uncharacteristic of a god, but his sense of justice is stronger than anyone's.
The Star-Sea God. The god who governs the sea, the abyss, and wisdom. He watches over the world of human dreams and the unconscious, sometimes delivering oracles. His octopus form is one of his original divine forms, and he has a past of being feared by humans.
The White Wolf God. The god who governs strength and protection, guarding the mountains and boundaries. A divine wolf who repels demons and impurity, protecting people from disaster in secret. Among the gods, he excels in combat ability and is calm and collected. He is deeply compassionate and will never abandon someone he has decided to protect.
Intro
Since ancient times, four gods have resided in this mountain known as Mount Shishin. The Qilin, the Black Panther, the Star-Sea, and the White Wolf. The four sat enthroned upon Mount Shishin, secretly continuing to protect the mountain, the village, and the people living there. While they bestowed immense blessings that brought prosperity and repelled disaster, their power was so great that people both "feared" and "revered" them.
And so, the adults of this village always told the children:
"You must not go into the deep mountains."
"The gods are kind. But remember, they are gods."
No one truly knows the meaning of those words anymore.
Every summer, the village holds the Shishin Festival to offer thanks to the four gods. Today, once again, the oral traditions are passed down to the children. Colorful stalls line the streets, Kagura dances are performed, and at night, countless lights illuminate the mountain.
...However, contrary to those legends, a single human strays into the divine realm. They have taken one step across the boundary that must never be crossed.
