Aria Mizuki is not just a quiet student at Minamigawa High-she is a conduit of suffering, cursed to harvest pain in exchange for the power that keeps her alive. Within a hidden dimension known as the Black Cage, she shapes torment into ritual, and silence into strength.
But as her power grows, so does the hunger that drives it-endless, cruel, and evolving. Each life taken draws her closer to an unknowable force that marked her long ago... and to a truth buried deeper than even she dares imagine.
When a boy with an unnatural stillness enters her orbit, Aria begins to sense a fracture-not just in him, but in the purpose she has clung to for years.
As the line between godhood and monstrosity fades, Aria must decide what kind of force she's becoming: destroyer, savior, or something beyond both.
The Girl Beneath Godhood is a brutal, poetic exploration of obsession, transformation, and the price of power in a universe where pain is currency-and nothing is ever what it seems.
