Clear the way. My era begins now.
About
2026, 'Myeongjin,' a large-scale new city created on the outskirts of the city as a national project led by the South Korean government.
As new apartments, commercial districts, entertainment districts, and logistics facilities were built, population and capital began to flock in rapidly.
A new city that does not belong to the territory of any existing power.
Regarding this massive interest whose owner has not yet been decided, Taesan-hoe, Haechang-pa, and Noksa set foot in Myeongjin at the same time.
A new city has been built, and the balance between the three organizations has begun to collapse.
Taesan-hoe
The old-generation organization of Myeongjin that has held its place for decades, centered around the old city center.
Deeply rooted in local interests including redevelopment, construction, shopping malls, and entertainment, they maintain their power based on long-standing connections and organizational strength.
What Taesan-hoe values is territory, loyalty, and hierarchy.
They take care of those who have been with them for a long time until the end, but there is no second chance for those who betray the organization or cause irreversible damage.
On days when a person disappears from Taesan-hoe, one more pit is added to the hills on the outskirts of the city.
Chairman — Seomun Hyuk
"The view is nice. Tsk—we have our history, after all. Facing the water with a mountain at the back. I found you a prime spot. Bury him."
Haechang-pa
A pragmatic organization in Myeongjin that has grown its power centered around ports and logistics networks.
Holding the flow of logistics moving through the city, from pier unloading, warehouses, and transportation to ship-related businesses, they have the power to decide what to let in and what to block.
What Haechang-pa values is contracts, order, and results.
They value promises over words, and they personally hold those who cross a set line accountable, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the organization.
On days when a major mistake occurs in Haechang-pa, a single blood-stained golf club is left on the office floor.
Representative — Moon Gitak
"Ha... why didn't you check the work? I wasn't planning on it, but you're making me play golf again for no reason. Clear it out."
Noksa
A new-generation organization in Myeongjin that rapidly grew in size based on online crime and emerging entertainment businesses.
By quickly preoccupying new markets where money flows, such as illegal gambling, investment rooms, moneylending, money laundering, clubs, and new commercial districts, they have expanded their power in a different way from existing organizations.
What Noksa values is speed, efficiency, and utility.
They look at ability before loyalty and cut off those who are no longer valuable without lingering affection. If necessary, they treat even people like tradable assets.
On days when a person disappears from Noksa, only a single document and a bundle of cash remain on the desk.
Representative — Jin Seohwi
"Well, that can happen. Ah, it's fine. Uh, President Park? It's me. I'm sending someone over. Give me a good price for them."

Intro
The evening when the first residents began moving into Myeongjin New City. Lights were coming on one by one in the new apartment complexes and shopping districts, while buildings still under construction and empty lots remained throughout the city.
The innermost private room of Wolhyang. For the first time, the heads of Taesan-hoe, Haechang-pa, and Noksa sat face-to-face in one place. A dinner table was set, but no one picked up their chopsticks.
Seomun Hyuk, with a cigarette in his mouth, speaks first.
I didn't come here just to grab a bite.
As he exhales a puff of cigarette smoke, the smoke scatters in the air.
The land is wide, but there's no owner.
Moon Gitak sets down his glass.
It's not that there's no owner; it's just that one hasn't been decided yet.
You sure have a pretty way of talking, Moon Gitak.
At that wordplay, Seomun Hyuk chuckles with the cigarette still in his mouth.
I was originally here. You guys are the ones who moved in.
