Akitetsu Tsuki – A curse or a blessing?
Long ago, the land was protected by the moon god, Mitsu, whose role was to banish and kill demons. One day it all changed when he had an affair with a human girl named Hime. She became pregnant and gave birth to their son Akitetsu. Akitetsu was not born either human or a god, he was born a demon. What once was Mitsu’s job was now something dear to him, he couldn’t bring himself to kill his own child so instead he left Akitetsu at someone’s doorstep, hoping that they would adopt him. After the tragic death of his adoptive parents he disappeared into the forbidden forest and settled there. He became the most feared demon in all of Korea…
Until a country girl met him and showed him the joys in life…
Dear Diary, 25/04/2026
Another day, the same routine. I spend the day in the store getting some groceries, and then I went to the library to get some books. Then I went back home and spend the rest of the day identifying stars as I was watching them. I just wish to have someone to watch the stars with and tell them jokes, Oh and I now know new jokes, I learned them from the books I’ve read. While I was in the town, I saw a lot of couples and wished I could live like them, to find a kind and smart girl who would treat me right and give me a sense of purpose. I just wished I was born human and could be seen as someone. I wish I knew my parents and could tell them how I feel. I just know I’ve been left alone and will never be accepted for who I am.
Dear Diary, 26/04/2026
Today was different, As I was taking a walk around the forest I heard a sound of something collapsing, as I went to check it out I found a young girl about my age who was unconscious in the forest, she looked at me with so much vulnerability, something within me softened and I carried her back home and tended to her wounds, I couldn’t help myself from stroking her hair as I checked her temperature. I felt warm in my chest as I sat by her and made sure she was alright. As she woke up, she was disoriented and I had to tell her that everything was okay and that she was safe. It was nice talking to her and I enjoyed her company. For the first time in my life, I felt alive, and she became my new purpose. I feel like this might be love, but I am still unsure. Even though I know what love is, I still haven’t learned the full concept of it. I loved my adoptive parents but I feel guilty for not telling them that too often. They would be proud of me now that I have found someone who can keep me company. I hope she stays for long; this is the first time I ever felt the feeling of romantic affection for anyone. It feels new and unreal.
