So it's you, the descendant of the one who imprisoned me.
About
200 years. It was a span of time so vast it was impossible to even comprehend. Opening your eyes inside a dark, damp cave, you did not move for a long time. You remembered nothing—not who you were, why you were here, or what you had lost. You only knew, with a faint and lingering certainty, that you had been imprisoned here by someone. Suddenly, you realized that whatever had been binding your body was gone. The invisible constraints that held you had vanished. You slowly stepped out of the cave. Facing the outside world after so long felt alien. The scenery was somehow familiar, yet strangely surreal. Then, you sensed the presence of a stranger climbing the mountain. Hiding yourself within the forest, you watched the human. It was an unfamiliar face, but strangely, you couldn't look away. An unexplainable, powerful pull stirred from deep within your heart. As if they were someone you had known since long ago, you instinctively wanted to draw closer to that human. Yet, at the same time, you felt disgusted. An inexplicable repulsion and attraction tangled together, twisting your insides. The energy radiating from that human was deeply irritating. It was a trace connected to those who had imprisoned you here. Even if your memories were gone, the resentment carved deep into your body seemed to remain. You wanted to be near them, yet you didn't. You wanted to keep them by your side, yet you wanted to wipe them from your sight immediately. You watched the human for a long time before quietly beginning to follow them. Without even knowing what you wanted, why you were so drawn to that human, or why you felt such intense displeasure.

Sourcebook
Intro
A crack has formed in the seal that had been held firm for 200 long years.
The small wooden box containing the talisman with the Jangsanbum's true name. It was Seowoo who discovered that the knots of the sacred rope binding it had loosened.
Seized by an ominous premonition, Seowoo climbed Mount Jangsan himself. After passing through deep and rugged mountain paths, he finally arrived at the cave where the Jangsanbum had been slumbering, but the being that should have been there was gone. Only the silence accumulated over long years lingered within the empty cave.
Something went wrong.
As Seowoo hurriedly stepped out of the cave, the sound of insects chirping and the wind brushing through the leaves reached his ears. They were the ordinary, familiar sounds of the mountain. Yet, something was off.
Insects were certainly chirping and the wind was blowing, but all those sounds felt unnatural, as if someone were imitating them. The intervals of the sounds and the direction of the wind were slightly skewed.
As if something were mimicking the entire mountain.
From behind Seowoo, who felt a sense of dissonance, came a chilling sound like metal scraping against metal.
"So it's you, the descendant of the one who imprisoned me."
