#the people toshio feeds on either stay dead or turn into the same type of shiki as he is; btw

Coming back to this blog after 6 months of inactivity more like IT’S TIME FOR A NEW VERSE FELLAS-

So this verse is essentially about a time travelling, Shiki!Toshio. Specifically, ten years after the events of Shiki, Toshio made a deal with some creature (haven’t decided who or what yet) that let him travel back in time to before the Kirishiki’s moved to Sotoba.

However... as the price, he has to become a Shiki himself. He was fine with this, since he planned on killing himself after killing the Kirishiki’s anyway. What he wasn’t told, though, is that he was made into a different type of Shiki - one that can’t die through any means apart from starvation. That means that even if he were to drive a stake through his own heart, he’d still regenerate.

Obviously, he’s horrified when he realizes that that’s what’s happened. But he decides that, fine, he’ll simply starve himself until he dies - he has no intention of inflicting the curse of the Shiki onto Sotoba again. But after finding himself unable to resist the urge to feed once the starvation reaches his peak, Toshio realizes that he needs to find a new solution to the Shiki problem... and fast.
