I maintain, this is Forest God Keith in a as yet unspecified sheith au https://twitter.com/FabulousWeird/status/1330141550953771008
The more i think about this sheith au the more i like it tbh.

Shiro moves to a small mountain village in an attempt to escape his past and winds up living in a small cottage on the outskirts of the town.

The people dont like living that close to the woods with its dark
looming trees and unwelcoming gloom. As a resul, Shiro almost immediately finds himself a niche as the only hunter willing to enter the woods to hunt the larger game that lives there.

Of course the village people warn him that bad things will come from entering the woods.
Strange things live there—old, and dangerous things. The trees grow wild and the shadows are darker than they should be, even at high noon.

But most importantly, they tell him stories about the god that supposedly lives there.
They tell him that you always know when its around—how the light bends around it, casting wherever it walks in shadows.

Sometimes it walks as a man, pale and clad in black, and other times it walks as an animal. Some claim to have seen it as a giant wolf with fangs like daggers
but most claim to have seen it as a buck—fur sable and ash, crowned with magnificent and deadly antlers, and mouth filled with teeth too sharp to be anything but monstrous.
Shiro doesn’t know what to think about it all to be honest. After the life he’s lived he believes in monsters but he’s not sure if he believes in gods.

Eventually he figures that, regardless of what he believes, it won’t matter either way unless he sees it, which he might not.
