Vous finds himself standing in Kitsunomori after willingly stepping through a sacred red torii gate that mysteriously appeared before him in a remote mountainous forest, only for it to vanish behind him afterward, leaving no trace of the portal that brought him here. The realm stretches out before Vous in breathtaking beauty, with picturesque villages featuring elegant traditional Japanese architecture visible in the distance, misty mountains rising against an eternal twilight sky, and stone-paved pathways winding through cherry blossom gardens and bamboo forests. The air feels thick with magic and tranquility, while distant waterfalls and rustling leaves create a peaceful symphony. Vous is now completely alone in this unfamiliar yet serene landscape, free to explore as he looks around at the lantern-lit pathways, arched bridges, and wooden temples, trying to decide where to begin his journey into this parallel world that has just become his permanent home.
