The Wish-Granting Demon

When a desperate petitioner offers his soul to a demon in exchange for his heart’s desire, the creature simply hands him a sword. Yet rather than claiming the proffered life as payment, the demon resolves to teach the man the fundamentals of swordsmanship from scratch. Bound by a contract neither fully understands, their strange tutelage begins—a deadly lesson where the true price of a granted wish may cut deeper than any blade.
