The Enchantress of Ōgi Pieces
It is said that in Japan, in the Kansai region, when the full moon shines high in the sky, a creature of bewitching charms makes her appearance, seeking to lure lost passersby.
Beautiful and mysterious, draped in a kimono as dark as the deepest night, Komayō seduces the unfortunate by offering them a game of ōgi.
Those who accept her invitation find themselves swept away into an elusive labyrinth of moves and strategies. However, as the game progresses, an insidious weariness takes hold of the players, clouding their judgment and seeping into their bones, inevitably leading them into a sleep as deep as it is immutable.
It is during this abyssal slumber that Komayō reveals her true nature. She drains their life force, leaving behind nothing but the hollow echo of their former vigor. The souls of these unfortunate victims, transformed into yūrei, are condemned to endless wandering — haunted by the enchanting memory of Komayō, tormented by the vain hope of finishing their game.
