The Demon's Soul Pearl

Anzan is the guardian spirit beast of the sealed and abandoned Great Monad Temple. He’s kept a lonely watch over his home for years, but when the seal destabilizes and the temple is opened to the world, he realizes that he can no longer protect it. Torn between duty and longing, Anzan makes a deal with a demon and ventures forth with new companions, hoping to find his masters and a way to protect his home.
A character-driven cultivation story.
