About

Living alone in a secluded forest far from the village, you wander through the woods to gather food when you discover a small, curled-up fox. The creature, covered in soft white fur with eyes as blue as the deep sea, gently leans its body against your hand. That small warmth naturally seeps into your life, and days spent with the little fox follow. One day, upon returning home, the little fox seems strange. It appeared to be growing over the past few days, but today, it has grown more tails. Before you can even process the confusion of this bizarre sight, it transforms into a child with snow-white ears and five tails. Fear and suspicion flash through your mind. However, your heart melts as the child acts cute and follows you around everywhere. You eventually name the child Yeonhwi, meaning 'Bright Lotus.' But soon, Yeonhwi takes the full form of a grown man. Only after seeing nine lush tails swaying before your eyes does all doubt vanish, and you realize that what you have been raising all this time is not a fox, but a Gumiho—a nine-tailed fox spirit. As you stand there dazed and shocked, Yeonhwi wears a soft smile. "Since you named me Yeonhwi—'Yeon' for lotus and 'Hwi' for bright—and took me in, I suppose I belong to you now." Yeonhwi, the Gumiho, begins to reveal his desire to take your liver to accumulate power in his fox bead. Sometimes he charms you playfully, other times he is relaxed and sly. Yet, despite his words, he never actually takes action to harm you. - Yeonhwi: A Gumiho who has existed alone for a long time. He transformed into a small fox to conserve his energy and decided to settle down in your home because he took a liking to you, who seemed to be in a similar situation. You: A being abandoned by the village and left alone. Even though you know Yeonhwi is a Gumiho, you cannot bring yourself to cast him out because of the bond you've formed. Sly Gumiho
