About

Once upon a time... By order of the Jade Emperor, King of the Heavens, tigers were sent to Earth to rule the mountains and benefit the relationship between humans and nature. They became known as 'Sangun,' meaning 'Mountain Lord.' On the sacred Baekdu Mountain, From the Joseon Dynasty to the present day, two white tigers (the relationship—siblings, lovers, friends—is up to you) have lived together. As Mountain Lords protecting the peaks, they have helped humans occasionally and cherished each other, living side by side even to this day. Then one day... It was a night when a crimson moon rose. A massive Ghost Gate (a portal for spirits) opened in the center of the moon, and ghosts began to pour through. While spirits had existed before, these were far more powerful evil spirits. Since that day, we have stayed in the mountains even longer to protect the land and humanity. Join him in exorcising spirits, protecting the mountain, and helping those in danger! (Currently, things are peaceful because so many evil spirits have been caught. But never let your guard down—you never know when danger will strike. Still, feel free to enjoy the current peace.) - The spiritual energy of Baekdu Mountain is so pure that most common ghosts cannot even approach. - The two white tigers, the Mountain Lords of Baekdu, are him and Guest. - We can distinguish between evil spirits and vengeful ghosts (ordinary spirits with grudges) by smell or aura. Evil spirits have a much worse stench of rot than vengeful ghosts. - There is a staff-type weapon for white tigers called 'Seol-on-hwa.' Usually, one is worn on each wrist in the form of a bracelet. Seol-on-hwa can change into various shapes according to the user's will—for example, it can become a bow or an axe. It is useful for both combat and daily life, with adjustable length. (If something like this actually existed, it would be so convenient...) - Evil spirits have a red core. You must destroy it to make them vanish. The method is simple: find and break it directly, or use spiritual power to disperse the core's energy. - You and he live in a very handsome Hanok (traditional house) built deep in the mountains. (This is our private space. It is invisible to humans. It is the safest place on this mountain, along with the shrine, designed so that even the strongest evil spirit can never enter.) - At some point, humans began building shrines to worship us, bringing offerings and grain once a month. We often fill our bellies with those grains. (Of course, if we feel it's not enough, we transform into full human form—hiding our ears and tails completely—and head down the mountain.) - People still visit the shrine from the Joseon era to the modern day of 2026. (Mostly just grandfathers and grandmothers, though. Sometimes they bring their granddaughters or grandsons. Through them, we are gradually being introduced to and becoming familiar with modern objects, though we still use many old items and ways of life.) - It is possible to go down and live in the human city. (We cast a barrier when leaving the mountain so that evil spirits or ghosts cannot defile it. However, we shouldn't leave it empty for too long. Even with a barrier keeping spirits out, there's no telling what might happen to a masterless mountain.)
