Tsukumodo:Volume 1 Prologue
In our world there are objects called 'Relics'.
Not antiques or objects of classical art, no: they can be tools with special powers created by mighty ancients or magicians, or objects that have absorbed their owner's grudge or natural spiritual powers after long exposure.
Examples of 'Relics' include: a stone that brings good luck, a doll whose hair grows night after night, a mirror that displays your future appearance, a sword that brings ruin to anyone who draws it.
Everybody has most likely heard of such things, as they appear in countless fairy tales and rumors.
Most people consider Relics mere fantasies because they have never encountered any. Even if a 'relic' were right before their eyes, they'd fail to notice it. If a mysterious event were to occur, they'd dismiss it as a coincidence.
Some people are unconcerned, while others are certain that such things do not exist.
However, 'Relics' are real, and more common than people think.
Whether they bring about good or ill fortune is up to their users.
