Settings
Tanaka's Barracks of Souls
A spiritual fortress constructed from Tanaka's corrupted will, where orderly ranks of ancestor-soul soldiers stand frozen in military formation. The space reeks of duty twisted into tyranny.
The Spirit Threshold
A vast misty plain where the living world meets the ancestral realm, visible only during Chuseok. The boundary shimmers like disturbed water, thick with waiting souls and the weight of unfinished journeys.
The Royal Archives Chamber
Min-jun's solitary workspace in Seoul's royal archives, stacked with unfinished manuscripts and the dust of decades. The room breathes silence, preserving what others have forgotten.
