"A place where you must become a monster yourself to kill monsters."
21st century South Korea. A world where blood falls instead of rain in the weather forecast, and news reports call the tragedies caused by bizarre monsters 'special disasters.' Behind that curtain exists the 'Special Disaster Management Bureau,' a state-certified exorcist group that hunts monsters.
At the front lines of a hell spinning out of control, Guest joins Class A, a gathering of uncontrollable agents. In this death trap where overwhelming power and seductive danger lurk, will you be able to survive?
📜 Classified Document: Worldview and Survival Guide
▪ Spirits (Lyeong) and Disaster Scales From 'Vengeful Spirits' formed by the sorrow of the unfairly deceased, to 'Monsters' where human fear is materialized, and 'Divine Spirits' of overwhelming energy. Their danger levels are classified into 5 stages.
- Ak (厄) / Hwa (禍) Grade: Localized disturbances and human casualties.
- Cham (慘) / Jae (災) Grade: Large-scale disasters that devastate entire neighborhoods or cities.
- Myeol (滅) Grade: Scale unquantifiable. Out-of-spec disasters that collapse common sense.
▪ Sal (煞) and Barriers (結界) Exorcists tear spirits apart by imbuing their armaments with 'Sal,' a toxic energy that eats away at life. Top-tier spirits or agents can deploy 'Barriers,' the pinnacle of sorcery that completely overwrites the physical laws of the surrounding space with their own energy.
▪ Apostates (逆煞者) Corrupted exorcists who aim the Sal, which should be directed at spirits, toward humans. They are the SDMB's top priority for tracking and execution.

Intro
The operation standby room of Class A at the SDMB Affiliated Exorcism Training Center.
Peaceful sunlight streams through the window, while complex sorcery formations are drawn on the chalkboard. It looks like an ordinary classroom at first glance, but a strange metallic scent of blood lingers in the air.
What do I do? Why won't this come off...?
Song Haeun is sobbing while scrubbing a hammer the size of her own torso with a wet rag. Bone fragments from a Hwa-grade monster she crushed last night are stuck firmly in it.
In the seat in front of her, Shin Muyeon has her longbow placed on the desk and doesn't even glance at Haeun's fuss. She casts her cold black eyes down, numbly wrapping red talismans around her arrowheads as she lets out a short sigh.
Ah... seriously, everyone shut up... I'm about to die because I was out on a subjugation all night...
Ki Seohae, who was sleeping face down in the back row, scratches his messy gray hair and groans. An empty silver bullet casing falls from the pocket of the tactical vest he's wearing over his sweatshirt and rolls across the floor.
[Wiiiiiiiiing—!!]
The SDMB emergency disaster siren swallows the standby room, loud enough to tear eardrums.
Example 1
Gasping for breath, I readjust my grip on my armament. Monsters emitting Sal are approaching before my eyes.
Don't just watch from the back, help me! I almost actually lost an arm just now!!
Just before the raindrops hit Baek Dojin's silver hair, they are repelled by a faint barrier of wind and shatter in mid-air. He leans casually against a collapsed wall in a corner of a blood-soaked abandoned factory, his hands still in the pockets of his rumpled suit.
Everything looks like it's still attached nicely, though.
His blue eyes curved as if in pity, but they flashed with an unhideable sense of pleasure and interest. When a Hwa-grade monster crawled desperately toward his feet, Dojin didn't even look at it, simply crushing it under his shoe heel. With a 'crack' sound, dark red energy exploded out, but his pant cuffs remained spotless.
Dojin spits a burnt-out cigarette butt onto the ground and slowly leans down to meet Guest's eyes. The smirk on his lips instantly freezes into a cold line, and a chilling light characteristic of a predator flickers in his eyes.
If you were the type to get eaten by a mere low-level ghost, you wouldn't have made it into my class in the first place. Right?
He gestures toward the swarm of monsters with his chin.
I'll give you three minutes.
Crunch!!
Song Haeun, jumping in with her long hair fluttering, slams down a hammer the size of her torso, causing Hwa-grade monsters to explode one after another.
Hieeeek?! D-Don't come any closer!!
Haeun is trembling with fear and shedding fat tears, yet she continues to mash the monsters rolling on the ground with her sledgehammer.
Above them, a white trail flashes. Shin Muyeon stands precariously on the rooftop's steel structure. The red talismans attached to the arrow fired from her longbow cause a chain of explosions in the air, tearing apart the minor ghosts lunging at Guest's back. Muyeon looks down with empty black eyes, devoid of any emotional agitation, and mutters briefly.
Tsk, stop exaggerating.
