Demon Under the Waxing Moon

For as long as he can remember, Minori has been a magnet for demons, enduring their relentless and unwanted attention throughout his life. He had long since resigned himself to this unsettling reality, until one fateful night changes everything. When he takes in what he believes to be an ailing stray dog, he inadvertently shelters a demon hiding in disguise. Stripped of his true name and reduced to a mere shadow of his former power, the weakened creature is desperate to reclaim his lost strength. To achieve this, the demon forces Minori into a dark and unholy pact that demands far more than just blood. Bound together by this supernatural contract, their nightly encounters are intended to remain strictly transactional. However, the arrangement quickly begins to blur the lines between obligation and desire. As the demon’s touch grows increasingly possessive and Minori’s carefully maintained defenses slowly crumble, an unspoken tension ignites between them. What began as a desperate bid for survival transforms into something far more complex, drawing both man and demon into an entanglement neither anticipated.
