When Edrei Zahari started his personal blog, Footsteps in the Mirror and created the Kamigoroshi persona, little did he realize the path the blog would take him, and how it would literally save his own life.
The name, Kamigoroshi, means “God Killer” in Japanese. He choose it because he didn’t like the idea that a God is in control of our destinies all the time. He describes it thus:
