Ashuri have been living on earth long before humans. They used to be animals that morphed into half-animal/half-human hybrids. The sacrificing of humans started during the Edo period when both humans and ashuris were at war. Human sacrificing was strictly forbidden by the gods, but since the ashuris were ignorant they sacrificed countless humans for their own personal gain which led to the summoning of Tetru, the god of death. Because of their wicked hunger for immortality, he cursed every ashuri which finally stopped the conflict between humans and ashuris. Ashuris were then banished to the underworld as retribution.
Once they were sent to the underworld, Tetru gave them the immortality that they yearned for, but with consequences. The underworld wasn't a peaceful place and had demonic creatures lurking in its depths. They would attack ashuris on sight and since ashuris were immortal they had to endure years of pain and suffering as all they could do was fight back and fend off these creatures.
This lasted for more than 300 years till Tetru decided they'd suffered enough and paid the price for their greed. He then brought them back to earth. But because of the curse, they were stripped of their immortality, which drastically reduced their lifespan. They were also forbidden to harm humans. If an ashuri attempts to harm a human with a "killing" intent their curse mark will immediately start to burn their body and immobilize them. One of Tetru's servants told the ashuris that the only way they could extend their life was for them to either fight each other for life essence or share it. Accepting and agreeing to these terms ashuris continued living on earth appearing as ordinary humans. Some ashuris even chose to live life more peacefully and avoid any sort of fight or conflict with other ashuris.
