The Amazing Digital Art Of Greg Rutkowski

Meet Kazuo Sakuragi!

Kazuo Sakuragi [RO] - The Loyal - Lycan

Age: 30 [ 6’2”(188cm)|Black hair |Black eyes ]

Note: I couldn’t edit it correctly but his hair should be chin length, and his face covered with some old scars.

Kazuo was once a happy and loyal member of his small village, where he lived with his wife and daughter. He was known for his kindness and generosity, always willing to lend a helping hand around the village.

One fateful night, a vicious lycan attacked Kazuo's village, killing his wife, daughter, and all the villagers. Kazuo fought valiantly, but in the end, he was bitten by the lycan and left for dead. As he lay there, crying and screaming in agony, he felt his body changing, turning him into a lycan like the one that killed his loved ones.

Filled with anger and sorrow, he tried to look for the lycan for revenge, but his new identity that he still couldn’t control scared him into remaining in the village for months.

One day, the protagonist was tasked with hunting a wild lycan in the area, and they stumbled upon Kazuo in his lycan form. Despite Kazuo's ferocity, the protagonist felt a deep sense of sadness and compassion for him. Seeing the pain in Kazuo's eyes, they helped him adapt to his new life as a lycan.

Kazuo became fiercely loyal and protective of the protagonist, admiring and respecting them for their bravery and skills. Filled with respect, he joined the ancient order of the warriors, fighting alongside the protagonist. He promised himself to someday find the lycan that destroyed his life and kill it with his own hands.

Physical Appearance:

In his human form, Kazuo has a powerful and imposing presence. He stands at 6'2" and has a muscular build that reflects his physical strength and endurance. His body and face are covered in scars, new and old, some of which are still healing.

Despite his rugged appearance, Kazuo's face is sharp and defined, and his expression is always stoic and serious. He has black eyes that seem to see right through you. His hair is jet black and chin-length, often disheveled, giving him a slightly wild look. His skin is warm beige with a hint of tan from training in the sun.

As a lycan, Kazuo's appearance changes drastically. He becomes larger and more muscular, with thick black fur covering his body. His eyes become a bright shade of yellow, and his teeth and claws become razor-sharp.

Chapter 1 Update is Here! ✦ DEMO

+10k words added to Chapter 1, bringing the total word count to 50k (with code)

More curt/unfriendly options towards mortals and other gods (Salvatore, parents, etc.)

More customization options, including new hair colors, eye colors, and distinctive features in Chapter 1

Multipronouns you can set in Chapter 1 (may change in future chapters)

Choice of clothes to wear to the Ceremony, which ROs may compliment if they like (3 out of 6 options for each of them!)

A new scene with your parents before the Ceremony where you can decide your relationship with them! (affects dialogue)

Option to storm off if you're mad at Ciocana, especially if you're touch-averse

Misc edits, bug fixes, and background performance improvements

This update is a massive improvement for new readers rather than warranting an entirely new playthrough. If you have any saves right before the Ceremony, you can find the most content there! However, the changes and additions are all over the demo.

... and Discord! ✦ Join here 🌿

My friend suggested I start one up! I hope to set up some events, share more sneak peeks, and connect with others more with this! 🫶💕 I also added some fun things like anonymous confessions and customizable color names, so please join! :)

(Very detailed changelog below if you're interested!)

Minor rewording for Karen encounter.

MC can now openly grimace when mortals call for MC's attention in Chapter 1. Previously, the only real negative reaction to them is turning away, which is open for any interpretation as to why MC does so.

When mortals ask for MC's help, MC can snap at them to speak quickly.

Most choices suggested you are friendly with Nero, so added a couple of options that are neutral towards him, leaning towards dismissive.

Rewrote a line that says you waved to Nero goodbye. It simply says that he departs.

Added an option to be frustrated with the conversation about mortals, when the only other non-positive options about mortals were about being completely disinterested.

Added an option where the MC says they can take care of themselves or they don't need other people worrying about them so much.

When choosing to be touch averse, selective, or not touch averse, you can now choose to be selective and not want to touch Rafaele, which initially was not an option.

If you are the Universal Eye, you tell Salvatore about the Universe being in pain and they dismiss it, you may be able to refuse conversation with them. They might keep talking to you, but you won't respond to them.

Can decide your relationship to your parents. Can also decide if you're open about your feelings towards them or not.

Variations in how your parents speak to you while preparing and during the Ceremony if they are aware of your bitterness towards them.

Can again openly express disdain for mortals or keep your feelings to yourself when answering Rafaele's question, when originally those options were absent

Can storm off from Ciocana if you do not express positive feelings about the dance, especially if you are touch-averse.

Added blue, pink, purple, and no hair options to Chapter 1, not available in the prologue.

Added red and gold eye colors to Chapter 1, not available in the prologue.

Added clothes option to Chapter 1 to wear to the Ceremony.

ROs will comment on your clothes if they particularly like it during the Ceremony (each have 3 out of 6 clothes they like.)

Added pronouns before the Ceremony. You can have multiple pronouns, remove them, and add multiple of the same kind to increase its chances of frequency.

Minor edits and bug fixes.

See you guys soon for the Chapter 2 update :)

CHAPTER THREE:

PATREON EARLY RELEASE

RAH! As of Today, my darlings! I have completed chapter three and the early patreon release is also today! I am utterly excited and happy. Getting this chapter out has taken far too long!

✦ CHAPTER THREE ✦

Public Release Date: July 16th 2023

Word Count: 37.0K

✦ DEMO ✦ PATREON ✦ DONATE ✦

🌙 DEMO (12.14.23) || PATREON || FORUM

LCOF is a +17 IF with heavy themes of murder, gore, cults, obsessive behavior, etc. Many run to Iona's Temple. Perhaps to escape hunger or the touch of death. You aren't sure why. No one is. All you know is that you're among them.

Play disguised as a Child of Iona, the moon Goddess' most faithful follower. Kept in the temple by day and let out to serve your duties by night. Navigate the mystical kingdom of Gilhanna.

Make rivals or friends; it's up to you. Or risk your life to pursue something more; you swore to remain devoted to Iona and Iona alone. Above all, stay hidden!

You knew it was wrong. When your father let you attend the Feast of Xihnir, you knew something would happen. And it was a night you will never forget after witnessing the Divine Lord slaughter your father like a lamb. Since then, you've learned how deep Xihnir's murderous and twisted fascination with you goes.

Fleeing to the neighboring kingdom, Gilhanna, you find a place to escape the pursuits of your father's killer. Hoping to find peace while masked as a Child of Iona. You've enjoyed seven years of peace now. You're sure more is still to come.

Yet, the sudden appearance of a wounded stranger threatens to uncover your secret while talk of encroaching armies praying upon Gilhannian borders grows rapid.

You can't let yourself be reduced to running, hiding — surviving. Nor will you allow yourself to be caught in Xihnir's crooked grasp. Will you give up the identity of this mysterious stranger to protect your own?

Customizable appearance, personality, gender identity, and sexuality.

Choose a given trade/skill to influence your character's nature and story! (i.e., swordsman, musician, scholar, weaver, dancer, or merchant.)

Hone your skills!

You can become a genuine follower of Iona or exploit this exalted position for your own gain.

Meaningful choices that affect your future and the people around you.

Forge strong allies and friendships or begrudging enemies.

Eight ROs total— two secret romances. (one minor, one major)

XHILO ✧ XOLA [m/f] Your companion with a short temper and an even shorter attention span. You found them cowering in an alley the night you left and have been hiding from Xihnir's forces together since then. Meek and quiet but sometimes has a lot to say. Extremely suspicious and distrusting of newcomers. You think they may still be a bit wary of you.

SILAS ✧ SHILA [m/f] The mean-spirited shepherd who works with you in the temple. At one point, you both were friends, though you're not sure what made them act so cold towards you. Though, that time is very distant. However, one thing hasn't changed: their love of their flock and slightly awkward disposition around new groups of people.

KNOX ✧ KORA [m/f] "Eccentric," as the townspeople like to put it. You've only seen them keep to themselves; they're never seen without a notebook. In daylight, their face is tired and worn. You catch them sneaking over the temple walls at night as if hiding one big secret. Some nights, you catch them singing beautiful melodies before running away after they sense someone's listening.

CROWN PRINCE LIROY ✧ CROWN PRINCESS SHYLA [m/f] Emperor and Empress Jung's firstborn. They are known throughout the kingdom as the epitome of sophistication and stoicism. You don't know much about the Crowned Heir except their duties to the country come first, and they hold them quite dear. A bit too dear.

PRINCESS DELILAH ✧ PRINCE DION [m/f] The royal Jung's second born. A soft but refined beauty. Most remember them for their carefree and childish behavior. "Iona's dancing muse," some may say. You've only seen them dance once when you first came to Gilhanna. Beautiful, hypnotic. You believe they are everything the people say they are.

PRINCE CLEMENTINE ✧ PRINCESS CLEMENT [m/f] The youngest of the Jung siblings. You haven't heard about them in all your seven years in Gilhanna. Nor are they mentioned among the people.

✧ ??

a mysterious stranger who showed up at your door, along with their dangerous secrets.

✧ ???

To them, you're nothing but a traitor to your kind.

I haven't slept since yesterday, and now when I want to go to sleep, my brain is saying no, and to top it off, my cat got the zoomies...
