Curse Merchant
By @emil emil
Mark Whitlock, a cheerful, ordinary guy, suddenly finds himself thrust into the grim world of Jujutsu Kaisen, his favorite anime. He's gifted with an innate understanding of his new, terrifying ability: to consume defeated curses, merge their raw cursed energy into physical items, and even imbue these creations with stolen cursed techniques. This allows him to craft absurdly powerful, yet familiar, artifacts – essentially plagiarizing iconic gear from other fictional universes. Dropped just as the Shibuya incident looms, Mark decides to leverage his unique talent, setting up shop as the infamous "Curse Merchant." While casually charming his way through interactions with the JJK cast, especially Maki, he's busy selling high-grade cursed tools that threaten to upend the delicate balance of jujutsu society. Is he a rogue savior, a dangerous opportunist, or merely a fanboy with too much power, blissfully unaware of the chaos his bootleg items could unleash upon a world already on the brink? His cheerful demeanor hides a disruptive force, forcing him to navigate loyalty, profit, and the fate of a world he once only watched.

Curse Merchant
By @emil emil
Mark Whitlock, an ordinary man with an encyclopedic knowledge of anime, finds himself inexplicably thrust into the perilous world of Jujutsu Kaisen. His only guidance? An innate understanding of his newfound ability: the 'Curse Merchant's Craft.' Mark can consume defeated curses, merging their raw cursed energy into inanimate objects and imbuing them with unique cursed techniques, essentially 'recreating' powerful artifacts from other fictional universes. Cheerful and opportunistic, he wastes no time setting up shop, offering his unique wares to the bewildered cast of JJK, all while subtly charming Maki Zenin. But as he floods Tokyo with items like 'Demon Slayer Corps swords' or 'Alchemist's transmutation circles,' Mark must navigate the escalating threats of vengeful curses and suspicious Jujutsu Sorcerers, all while trying not to completely derail the canon he loves, lest his profitable new life—and his chances with Maki—go up in smoke.

Curse Blacksmith
By @emil emil
Adam Whitlock's ordinary life shattered, replaced by the grim reality of the Jujutsu Kaisen world. Without warning or explanation, he was thrust into a brutal landscape teeming with malevolent Curses, armed with nothing but the chilling knowledge of his new, terrifying ability. As a 'Curse Blacksmith,' Adam possesses the unique power to consume defeated Curses, absorbing their very essence—cursed energy and techniques—to forge instant, potent cursed items. From mundane objects transformed into deadly weapons to artifacts imbued with unique properties, his arsenal grows with every vanquished threat. Navigating this perilous new existence, Adam, a calculating survivor, quickly realizes his cheat is both a blessing and a curse. He must not only fight for his life against increasingly powerful abominations but also meticulously conceal his abnormal abilities from both the Curses and the enigmatic Jujutsu Sorcerers who might view him as a greater anomaly than the creatures he slays. His survival hinges on mastering his craft and carefully choosing his allies in a world spiraling towards chaos.
