HONOR AND CURSE ETERNAL VOL. 2

A NEW STORY ARC OF HONOR & CURSE: ETERNAL BEGINS HERE. Genshi Sakagura has survived six centuries bound to a mountain spirit—but when the secretive Order of the Nine captures him, they attempt the unthinkable: surgically extracting his Tengu to weaponize ancient power for a modern authoritarian vision. As Genshi is subjected to a nightmarish vivisection that blurs the line between technology and sorcery, the fragile balance between man and spirit finally collapses. Forced to fully surrender to the Tengu within, Genshi unleashes a transformation of devastating power—one that leaves his captors butchered and sets him loose in Exit City, a lawless artificial island where monsters, machines, and hidden rulers thrive. But the escape comes at a cost. The bond between Genshi and his Tengu is forever changed, their enemies are far from finished, and the mastermind behind the operation may be far harder to kill than anyone imagined. A brutal fusion of supernatural horror, mythic fantasy, and modern techno-thriller, Honor & Curse: Eternal expands the Underworld Universe with its most visceral, explosive chapter yet—where ancient gods collide with the machinery of the modern world.
