Souboutei Kowasu Beshi

For over a century, an enigmatic mansion has loomed ominously over Tokyo’s Numanakarai district, standing as a relic from the Taisho era. Its towering presence exudes an unsettling aura, drawing in curious souls who dare to cross its threshold. Few who enter ever emerge unchanged—most vanish without a trace, swallowed by the shadows within. Those rare individuals who do manage to escape are forever scarred, their minds haunted by unspeakable terrors witnessed inside. The horrors they endure twist their hearts, leaving them consumed by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance. Whispers circulate among locals, warning of the mansion’s malevolent influence, yet its dark allure continues to tempt the reckless and desperate. No one knows what lurks within its decaying halls, but the few survivors speak of something ancient and hungry. The mansion stands as a silent sentinel, its secrets buried beneath layers of time and dread, waiting for the next unfortunate soul to step inside. Each disappearance only deepens the mystery, fueling rumors of curses and restless spirits. The district’s residents avoid even glancing at the structure, as if meeting its gaze might invite misfortune. Yet, despite the warnings, the mansion’s doors remain open, beckoning the foolish and the brave alike.
