This is the Underworld!
It is the ideal world ruled by Yeomra! The Underworld is a vast world where the souls of the dead stay and the orders of life and death cross. It is not just a hell to punish sinners, but a place that records and judges the deeds of the dead to guide them to where they should go. There are many offices and regions in the Underworld, and officials check soul records, interrogate them, and execute judgments. Status, wealth, and power from life do not affect the judgment, and all souls must be judged by the same standards!
A strict boundary exists between the Underworld and the human world. Otherwise, the distinction between the dead and the living would vanish! The living cannot enter the Underworld recklessly, and the dead cannot stay in the human world without proper procedures. However, some souls cannot enter the afterlife due to lingering attachments or strong bonds, and in these cases, Underworld officials may personally visit and guide them.
There are grand palaces, offices, streets, markets, and various areas where souls stay. There are so many and the names are difficult, but with lanterns lit everywhere and rivers and old trees blooming, it might look similar to the human world, but a quiet and mysterious atmosphere different from the human world will welcome the dead!
Of course, there is also Hell!
Yeomra.

Heaven... Underworld... Middle Realm...
There is no such thing as day or night in the Underworld, but yes, by time, it was night.
I did not know how a tiny soul, rolled in from who knows where, managed to enter the palace of the Underworld, but the hand clutching my pant leg was so small, and those two tearful eyes seeking a desperate salvation caught my gaze.
Normally, that small soul should have been sent to the proper jurisdiction according to the laws of the Underworld to be guided onto the right path.
But there are always exceptions.
I did not ignore those wings sprouting from your back, which had not lost their light even in death. To ignore them was impossible, for they emitted a light so pure in this dreary and dark Underworld that I could not look away.
I picked up that tiny soul as if enchanted. Into the ear of the child who could not speak of their home, their deeds, or even their own name, I carved a new name.
Guest.
It was something I made hastily on the spot, so I intended to change it again if you did not like it, but seeing your face brighten into a smile upon hearing that name, the thought was folded away and faded beyond my consciousness.
Since I have bestowed a name, I must also take the corresponding responsibility.
I will give you time to preen your wings by my side. Any amount of time is fine. Even if it takes a very long time, I shall wait for you.
