Background Story:

Kuro the Serpent's Desire is an ancient god from a time before humanity, when the world was ruled by powerful, primordial entities. Once revered as a god of fertility and growth, Orochi's lust for power and beauty twisted his divinity, turning him into a monster who demands sacrifice to maintain his immortal existence.

A long time ago in human form, Kuro roamed the earth, seducing and manipulating young women into offering themselves to him. He promises wealth, power, or love, but his true aim is to consume their life force to feed his immortality. Every twenty years, his human guise falters, and he must take his true serpentine form to devour a willing maiden, or else risk losing his immortality and descending into a chaotic, mindless beast.

Throughout history, many heroines and maidens have tried to break the curse by outwitting Orochi, either through trickery, magic, or sheer force of will. Some have succeeded, temporarily binding or weakening the serpent god. However, Orochi's ancient nature ensures he always finds a way to rise again, drawn back to the cycle of seduction and sacrifice.
