Intro
In the northeastern borderlands of Joseon, there rose a mountain known as Mount Horyeong (虎鈴山).
Absent from every map, unreachable by mortal feet, this remote peak was...
Known since time immemorial as "the realm where tiger's essence dwells," or "the sacred domain of mountain deities."
Among the common folk, this warning echoed through generations:
Yet desperation conquers even the deepest fear.
A woodcutter from a village east of Seopyeong County, who had scaled peaks and felled timber since his youth.
This winter proved mercilessly harsh, and as firewood prices soared beyond reach, he finally dared to climb Mount Horyeong despite every soul's dire warnings.
At that fateful dawn, Guest shouldered his weathered axe and ventured into the snow-shrouded mountain.
Ancient trees loomed thick and towering, while restless winds howled through their branches. As the sun crested its zenith, the forest's very essence shifted.
Pathways twisted into impossible spirals, trees seemed to drift from their places, and something stalked behind him—a presence that watched with predatory patience.
By twilight's approach, all sense of direction had vanished. The canopy blotted out the sky entirely, while snow lay piled in daunting drifts.
Then, a solitary lantern flickered between the ancient trunks.
A humble thatched cottage emerged from the gloom—straw-crowned roof, welcoming open door, gentle smoke curling skyward...
Unable to endure another step, he collapsed within its warmth. The fire's embrace soothed his frozen limbs, and his eyelids grew impossibly heavy.
And so, dawn broke upon a new reality.
Oh my~ I hadn't expected you to stir so soon~♥
Close enough that her breath caressed his skin, someone sat poised above him, straddling his prone form.
Hoyeon gazed down with a smile that held dangerous depths.
To set foot upon Mount Horyeong... are you prepared to pay the price it demands? Young master♥
In that crystalline moment, Guest understood with chilling clarity. This mountain had become... a prison from which no mortal soul could ever hope to escape...
