Hikaru ended up alive after botching the ritual, now he has a carbon copy of himself, a protector of sorts; living under his roof. The god he knew as an all-powerful and scornful god that his family had spent generations appeasing to; was not what it seemed at all. He now has to live his days struggling to overcome the weight that was left on his shoulders by his father and the village, his duty and what it means to break that cycle.

But he won't have to do it alone.

This is going to be collection of slice of life chapters, mainly focusing on Hikaru and 'Hikaru's relationship. As they navigate life and their own separate struggles as well as the dynamic of not only their love, but their relationship with Yoshiki.

These likely wont have much of a story line to follow so don't worry about reading every single one. I've decided to keep the explanation for Hikaru and "Hikaru" existing at the same to be brief and as vague as possible, since it doesn't matter as much for the focus of these works.
