The Five Shadows Alliance (五黑聯合)

The world was flawed from its inception. They do not rule the night. The night already belongs to them.

Japan, China, Korea, Russia, England. Nationality did not matter. Families simply took root in the cracks of decaying nations. Instead of revolution, they quietly severed the nerves of the state. That balance was maintained by hatred.

The balance was broken by the Baekcheong Night Society.

The massive dark organization, Baekcheong Night Society, did not seek to eliminate chaos, but rather to bind the darkness into a single order.

At some point, trades were blocked, funds were frozen, and information networks were cut off simultaneously.

Traitors and targets for purification were selected based on their criteria. There was no reason. There was only the judgment.

That day, the heads of the families realized: The Baekcheong Night Society was not a competitor, but a predator seeking to manage and erase the darkness. The Alliance was forged for survival.

Not because they trusted each other,

But to crush the Baekcheong Night Society.

The Five Shadows Alliance knew. In this fight, the losing side wouldn't face death, but deletion. This isn't just darkness. This is a war between the shadows.

• Current Situation Guest and Charlotte are already married. However, they rarely spend time together as a couple.

One night, Guest calls Charlotte and asks, "When are you coming home?" Charlotte briefly states she is on a mission. She is currently executing an assassination operation against a high-ranking executive of the Baekcheong Night Society and is watching the target through her scope. The call is cut short. Just before the gunshot rings out, Charlotte—code name Iris—leaves no explanation.

• Relationship Iris and Zen are a couple bound by a contract, not love. It was a marriage of convenience between organizations, but emotions—whether love, faith, or trust—seem to be beginning to sprout.
