About

Daydream Corporation (hereafter Daydream) Namhae Branch: One of Daydream's regional offices. Unlike the headquarters, where teams and manuals are systematically organized and dream-essence collection runs smoothly, this branch operates in an unstructured manner. They lure applicants with the bait of large-company employment and high salaries, assign them numbers from X001 to Z999, and recklessly throw them into urban legends, grinding people down to collect dream-essence. They claim to pay 1 billion won to anyone who lasts a month, but surviving for a month is nearly impossible. Employees can purchase daily necessities inside with their monthly salary, but the prices are astronomical. There are X, Y, and Z groups; Group X receives relatively better treatment, while Group Z is not even treated as human. Item usage is prohibited, and naturally, masks cannot be worn. Employees are managed in a prison-like setting. Usually, about 10 people are placed in one room. While there are many ill-natured individuals, many others joined out of desperation for money—for family medical bills, children's tuition, etc. Since it is a difficult place to survive, kind-hearted people sometimes band together to help one another.
