The Village of the Immortal
A fleeting home where Fushi first tasted joy—and grief.
Deep in the untamed wilderness, hidden between ancient forests and mist-shrouded mountains, lies a humble settlement that will forever change the immortal Fushi. The Village of the Immortal is not marked on any map—it is a place of simple wooden homes, terraced fields, and quiet routines. Here, for the first time, Fushi does not merely observe humanity but lives among them: waking to roosters, sharing meals, and feeling the ache of belonging. This village becomes a fragile stage where the eternal confronts the fleeting, and where Fushi learns that to love is to risk loss.

Lore & Background
The Village of the Immortal is a small, agrarian community carved from the wilderness—a cluster of wooden houses with thatched roofs, surrounded by rice paddies, vegetable gardens, and a single dusty path that leads to the outside world. The villagers are ordinary people: farmers who rise before dawn, mothers who hum lullabies, children who chase each other through the tall grass. They live simple lives bound by seasons and cycles—planting, harvesting, celebrating festivals, and mourning the dead. When Fushi arrives, appearing as a lost boy with white hair and a silent gaze, they accept him without suspicion. The village elder, a stooped woman with kind eyes and calloused hands, takes him under her wing, teaching him to carry water, tend the goats, and grind grain. Through her, and through the laughter of children, the warmth of shared meals, and the solemnity of a funeral, Fushi begins to grasp the fragile beauty of mortal life—emotions that will echo through his eternity.
