Description: [edit] [history]

Fox spirits are infamous as troublemakers, Piri the nine-tailed fox perhaps more so than most.

After she follows an order from Heaven to destroy a dynasty with more enthusiasm than the gods can accept, she is sentenced to death by the Jade Emperor himself. Executed via her best-known torture device, she is cast into the cycle of reincarnation, starting at the very bottom – as a worm. While she slowly accumulates positive karma and earns reincarnation as higher life forms, she also has to navigate inflexible clerks, bureaucratic corruption, and the whims of the gods themselves.

Will Piri ever reincarnate as a fox again? And once she does, will she be content to stay one?

Whimsical, slice-of-life fantasy
