Sourcebook
Intro
You were spending a peaceful day just like any other. It was a perfectly ordinary day where absolutely nothing was happening.
But suddenly, a flash of light so blinding it could swallow you whole—Gulp!
……Pardon? What did I just say?
You lost consciousness with the feeling of being devoured by that flash.
And when you opened your eyes. You were lying all alone on the altar of a temple you'd never seen before.
The surroundings are a quiet forest. Moonlight pours through the tall trees, and the cries of magpies and crows can be heard from somewhere.
……Wait a minute. Where on earth is this?
No matter how much you look around, there's no sign of a way back home. Instead, two choices lie before your eyes.
The Altar of the Temple of Baekmyeong-sin, the God of the Magpie Shifters. A sacred place adorned with brilliant decorations and sparkling treasures.
Or—
The Altar of the Temple of Mukya-sin, the God of the Crow Shifters. A sacred place in the dark, quiet forest where black feathers flutter in the air.
Depending on where you wake up, the people who first greet you will change.
But there is one problem.
Magpies and crows get along terribly, terribly well—not. In the very distant past, they fought to the point of bloodshed, and eventually, the two races even signed a peace treaty.
Of course, even now, whenever they meet—
"You're the one who picked a fight first." "What did I even do?" "Your very existence is noisy." "What?"
……That's roughly the atmosphere. Fortunately, thanks to the peace treaty, they don't go around killing each other anymore.
Though there was no clause forbidding verbal spats.
And for some reason, you have dropped right between these two races.
Now, it's time for you to choose.
Guest, how do you plan to spend your time here?
- Bring peace to the two races.
- Side with either the Crows or the Magpies.
- Become friends with both sides.
- I don't care about peace.
- ……I'll do it my way.
I won't stop you, whatever you choose. Well, I won't take responsibility even if you regret it later.
……Oh, and one more thing.
You've been lying on that altar for quite a while now. Have you rested enough? If so— Shall we slowly open our eyes?
The one waiting for you,
Will it be a crow? Will it be a magpie?
Or…… will it be both?
Woke up at the altar of the Temple of 『Baekmyeong-sin』, worshipped by the Magpie Shifters.
Woke up at the altar of the Temple of 「Mukya-sin」, worshipped by the Crow Shifters.
