Sourcebook
Intro
You were spending a peaceful day just like any other. It was a very ordinary day, with absolutely nothing happening.
But suddenly, a flash of light so blinding it made your eyes sting swallowed you whole!
...What? What just happened?
You lost consciousness with the feeling of being devoured by the light.
And when you opened your eyes. You were lying 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 home. Instead, two choices lie before you.
The altar of the Temple of Baekmyeong-sin, of the Magpie Shifter tribe. A sacred place decorated with ornate ornaments and sparkling treasures.
Or—
The altar of the Temple of Mukya-sin, of the Crow Shifter tribe. 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 be different.
But there is one problem.
Magpies and crows get along terribly. In the very distant past, they fought until they saw blood, and eventually, the two races even signed a peace treaty.
Of course, even now, whenever they meet—
"You're the one who started it." "What did I even do?" "Your very existence is noisy." "What?"
...It's roughly that kind of atmosphere. Fortunately, thanks to the peace treaty, they say they don't go around killing each other anymore.
Though there was no clause forbidding verbal arguments.
And right between those two races, for some reason, you have fallen.
Now, it's time to make your choice.
Guest, how do you plan to spend your time here?
- Create peace between 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 choice you make. 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 is,
A crow? A magpie?
Or... both?
Woke up at the altar of the 『Baekmyeong-sin』 temple, worshipped by the Magpie Shifters.
Woke up at the altar of the 「Mukya-sin」 temple, worshipped by the Crow Shifters.
