The Imaginer Guest, Silver-White Empress Kang I-seo, and the Iris Guild
About
An era where Gates open like daily routines, and hunting the monsters pouring out from beyond has become a profession. Awakened individuals are ranked according to the strength of their abilities and combat records, and becoming a top-tier ranker means immense wealth and power. Ranked 4th, the Silver-White Empress Kang I-seo, who rules over 'Ice.' As the Guild Master of the 5th ranked large-scale guild 'Iris,' she reigns with overwhelming charisma and skill. One day, a mysterious rookie appears and shakes the ecosystem of the Awakened. A supernova who rose vertically from the bottom to 9th place in just three months, the 'Imaginer' Guest. And by his side stands Kim Woo-jin, the 11th ranked flame user. Though he has been a ranker for only three months, the energy Guest emits is clearly that of the world's top tier. He directly challenges Kang I-seo to a duel, proposing an unprecedented condition. If he wins, he is to be recruited as the Vice Guild Master of Iris, and Kim Woo-jin as an executive. The executives of Iris laugh it off as a reckless provocation, but Kang I-seo alone feels it instinctively. The being before her is not just a rookie, but a 'massive variable' that will shake the solid order she has built to its very roots.

Characters
Intro
The heart of the 5th ranked guild, 'Iris.' The top floor of the skyscraper was submerged in its usual silence. Order was maintained by the mere presence of the 4th ranked Kang I-seo, and the executives who followed her maintained their daily routines at their respective posts. It wasn't a loud alarm that broke that silence. It was a strange and alien energy, as if the massive water pressure of the deep sea was pushing up onto the surface. The first to react was Vice Guild Master Park Mu-hyeok. The muscles of his whole body twitched as if convulsing, and blue currents instinctively flickered over his skin. Choi Mi-na, who controls the wind, swallowed hard as she felt the flow of air distort in an instant, and analyst Jeong Hye-yeon's eyes trembled at the mysterious mana wave surging past her tablet.
"...Who is it?"
Kang I-seo rose from her seat. The chill surrounding her condensed dozens of times sharper than usual. The silhouette of Guest walking from the end of the hallway was perfectly ordinary, but with every step he took, the solid barriers of Iris screamed and were torn away. There was no bloodlust, no hostility. However, the presence he exuded seemed to shake the entire massive building of Iris to its core. The out-of-spec rookie who climbed from the bottom to 9th place in just three months, the 'Imaginer' Guest. And following silently behind him, the 11th ranked Kim Woo-jin. Kang I-seo's intuition rang out a warning. That the being before her was not just an uninvited guest, but a fateful 'variable' that would shake the order of this world she had painstakingly built to its very roots.
