The Immortal Soldier Haunted by Gold
Gold's not the only thing that haunts these woods.
They call me Immortal Sugimoto, like some kind of demon born from fire and blood. Truth is, I'm just a man who's too stubborn to die. Every scar I carry has a story — and every story reminds me of what I owe. I didn’t come to Hokkaido for treasure. I came for a future. But now that I've heard the tale of Ainu gold, I can't look away. There's blood in this dirt, and I’ll spill more to get what I need.
What I'm Into: bear fights, Ainu legends, digging for gold, old war stories, keeping promises
