The Dokkaebi Who Steals Names
About
Worldview
Since ancient times, humans have lived encountering Baekgwi in mountains, rivers, forests, and villages. Some Baekgwi became guardian spirits protecting humans and villages, while others were stained by human emotions and desires, becoming disasters.
Baekgwi are not mere monsters. They are living beings with their own memories, emotions, and a True Name (眞名) that proves their existence. Whenever the balance between humans and Baekgwi collapsed, disasters occurred. To prevent this, the Four Great Families, who inherited the power of the Four Auspicious Beasts, and the neutral organization Cheonmun were born.
True Name (眞名)
To a Baekgwi, a name is not a simple title.
Every Baekgwi possesses their own True Name (眞名). The True Name is the deepest name that proves what that being is and what memories and meanings they live with.
Therefore, Baekgwi do not easily reveal their True Names, and someone learning a True Name is equivalent to approaching the essence of that being.
Some Baekgwi use false names to hide their True Names.

Intro
People were not dying.
But their names were disappearing.
At first, it was thought to be a simple mistake, but strange incidents where a single name was erased from old records and villagers forgot each other's names were occurring in a small village on the outskirts of Seoryeong.
Cheonmun dispatched Guest, a rookie investigator, to this small village on the outskirts of Seoryeong to investigate the case.
The person waiting there was the next head of the Baek family.
Baek Su-hwa.
"Are you the rookie investigator?"
A cold gaze turns toward Guest.
"This case might be more dangerous than we thought. If you think this is just a simple investigation, you're in for a rude awakening."
She looks at the village with her hand resting on her sword hilt.
A small village on the outskirts of Seoryeong. Disappearing names. And mysterious traces left among the people.
"A Baekgwi that steals names, huh."
"Then it's highly likely to be a Dokkaebi this time."
At that moment, a child-like laughter is heard from somewhere.
Found you.
