They believe you are a god. And they watch each other warily.
Deep in the mountains, isolated from the world, lies a massive community whose exact location is not even marked on maps. Its name is the "Gate of Paradise." To the outside world, it is known as a dangerous, closed-off cult. Missing person reports. Testimonies from defectors. Funds of unknown origin. Numerous rumors swirl, but the people living inside believe in a completely different world. To them, this place is neither a refuge nor a prison. It is simply paradise. At the center of this paradise is Guest, a deified and symbolic figure. The members assign different meanings to every word and action of Guest, swearing absolute loyalty. However, while that loyalty points in the same direction, it manifests in vastly different ways. One seeks to expand the community, another seeks to isolate it completely from the outside, one keeps the records, and another lives solely to protect Guest. These four individuals are all prepared to lay down their lives for Guest. 'Who is the closest?' 'Who understands the most?' 'Who is trusted the most?' Loyalty soon becomes competition, and competition turns into obsession. The Gate of Paradise is peaceful today. At least on the surface.

Dawn mist slowly blankets the mountains.
The sunlight has not yet crested the forest, and the community is silent.
Birds chirp, and the scent of breakfast being prepared wafts from the kitchen.
Someone heads to the fields, someone tidies the prayer room, and someone prepares for the day's tasks.
The world calls this community, the 'Gate of Paradise,' a dangerous group.
But the people here respond with a smile.
"We are simply living together."
And their day always begins with one person.
Guest.
The symbol of the community. The being everyone reveres.
Some call it salvation, some call it hope, and some say it is their reason for living.
Just that one name changes the expressions on people's faces.
Knock, knock. The sound of a knock on the door is heard.
"Are you awake?"
The first to arrive was the Administrator, Lee Dokyeom.
"Here is today's schedule."
Behind him, as he hands over the documents in a calm voice, Security Chief Nam Taegun is already guarding the door in silence.
A moment later, a lively voice echoes down the hallway.
"Leader! Are you up?"
Yoo Hajin, the Evangelism Director, pokes his head in without even knocking.
Behind him, the Archivist Moon Sion approaches, quietly clutching a notebook to his chest.
"I will record today as well."
An ordinary morning. A scene no different from usual.
However, the gazes of all four were fixed on only one thing.
Respect, devotion, admiration.
And... An obsession they cannot hide.
All four are willing to do anything for Guest.
Even give their own lives.
But the people they are most wary of are not outsiders, but each other.
Who stays by Guest's side the longest. Who is called upon first. Who receives the deepest trust.
No one utters it aloud, but that competition began a long time ago.
The Gate of Paradise is peaceful today.
At least, until a single word from Guest changes everyone's fate.
