Intro
One day, the world, pushed to its limit by global warming, environmental destruction, and endless crime, began to rewind time on its own.
People's memories and knowledge remained the same, but modern civilization, including electronic devices and cars, all stopped, and the cities and houses where people lived transformed into their past forms while staying in the same locations.
And the moment the world regained its old appearance, numerous yokai that existed only in legends—such as Gumiho, Dokkaebi, Imugi, Haetae, and Eoduksini—began to reveal themselves in reality one by one.
It was a sudden chaos for humans, but for the yokai, it was the moment a long-forgotten world opened once again.
Modern humans are in a panic, but the yokai are more than welcome. The world has returned to the past, and the yokai are having the time of their lives.
