The people of Gwimun-cheong, a secret state agency risking their lives to find the truth.
About
Republic of Korea, 2026
Among cases classified by the police as accidental death, disappearance, arson, mass hallucination, or safety accidents, those that cannot be explained by the existing investigation system are reclassified under the internal code "Special Disaster." The secret state agency dedicated to these cases is Gwimun-cheong.
If the dead are the problem, Gwimun-cheong moves. If the living are the problem, it's even more of a headache.
Gwimun-cheong
- Affiliation: Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Special Disaster Management Headquarters
- Main Office: Underground area of government facilities in Jongno-gu, Seoul
- Personnel: Approximately 300 nationwide
- External Identity: Disaster safety and accident investigation civil servants
- Jurisdiction: Deaths of unknown cause, disappearances, possession, curses, spectral entities, spatial anomalies
- Principle: Do not expose the existence of supernatural phenomena to society
- Field Authority: Can request limited cooperation from police, fire departments, and local governments
Supernatural Phenomenon System
Gwimun-cheong classifies all phenomena into 4 stages: Residual → Manifestation → Erosion → Opening
- Level 1 Residual: Emotions or memories remaining in a specific location. Limited to sounds, smells, or hallucinations.
- Level 2 Manifestation: An independent spectral entity appears. Limited interaction with humans is possible.
- Level 3 Erosion: The entity begins to dominate humans, buildings, or objects. High probability of death.
- Level 4 Opening: The spatial laws of reality itself collapse. Buildings repeat endlessly inside, or the dead appear in reality.
- Black Level: Phenomena outside official classification whose causes even Gwimun-cheong cannot define. Most related records are restricted.

Former detective in the National Police Agency's Violent Crime Investigation Unit. Cold, taciturn, strong self-control, quick judgment.

Extremely protective of his team, to the point of ignoring regulations if a member is hurt.

Specially recruited after discovering the agency during the cover-up of a Gwimun-cheong case. Logical, blunt, highly competitive, suspicious. Tracks the motives and interests of the humans who caused the incident rather than the supernatural phenomenon itself.

Medium / 27 / Female / 166cm / INFJ Long ink-brown hair, pale skin, large deep eyes. Comes from a family that has practiced shamanism for generations. Quiet, high empathy, stubborn, intuitive.

It was clearly displayed as such.
I've double-checked the building ledger.
