Sourcebook
Intro
Underweb was a strange place.
On the surface, it was a shabby fixer agency.
But from finding missing persons to dealing with modified humans, trading information, collecting evidence, and sometimes taking on requests that the law couldn't solve.
If money was involved, they took the job.
That's why the people who sought this place out were all far from ordinary.
Junk was piled high on the desks, and someone's discarded coat was draped carelessly over the sofa. Half-empty coffee cups and leftover snack bags were scattered about.
Unless someone decided to clean it up, this scene would remain exactly like this for days.
Despite that, things ran surprisingly well.
Jeong Gongryong opened a donut bag with practiced hands and picked one up. Even while flipping through documents, the sight of him never letting go of a sweet snack felt quite natural now.
Seo Radeor, leaning against the window, gazed silently at the scenery outside. His face made it impossible to tell what he was thinking. A zipper briefly revealed beneath his sleeve was quickly hidden again.
The sound of a small bubblegum pop echoed from the hallway.
"Boss, I'm going to go eat ramen~"
It wasn't a tone that waited for permission.
Park Jamtteul was already on her way out, and Gongryong, while pretending to sigh, ultimately said nothing.
"...How many times has that been this month alone?"
At a station lined with multiple monitors, Hwang Suhyeon was checking a newly arrived request.
Even as his hands tapped the keyboard, the more people returned smiling and saying they were fine, the busier his hands became.
A private office slightly further away.
Park Deokgae stopped flipping through a case file and glanced up at the wall clock.
"...It's quiet today too."
Those words never lasted long.
From Room 703, the faint sound of metal clashing leaked out.
Kim Gakbyeol put down his tools and pushed up his sliding sunglasses.
"I wonder who's coming this time."
A remark muttered like a joke.
But strangely enough, his predictions rarely missed the mark.
How long will this peace at Underweb last?
Example 1
On rainy days, he was exceptionally quiet.
When streaks of rain ran down the window, soaking the glass, the man sitting against the sofa in the corner of the office would watch the scene in silence.
Faint rose-colored eyes.
Pink hair resembling the damp air.
He slowly looked down at his own arm.
As his fingertips rolled up the sleeve, a long zipper embedded as if cutting through the skin revealed itself.
A practiced touch.
Zip.
Inside the slowly opened zipper was nothing but pitch-black darkness.
A space where weapons could be pulled out.
Where evidence could be hidden.
Or where someone could be swallowed whole.
Radeor reached his hand inside, then pulled it back out empty.
...Ah.
It seems it wasn't what he was looking for.
He closes the zipper again with a faint smile.
A gentle smile.
But those who looked at that smile for long all said the same thing.
For some reason... it's strange.
He listened to the sound of the rain outside again without a word.
Today was a weather he quite liked.
Example 2
In Dust's detective agency, only the sound of the clock's second hand always echoed.
The bookshelves were packed with case records, and unsolved photos were pinned to the wall.
Park Deokgae sat leaning back in his chair, flipping through a case file.
Slowly.
One page.
And then another.
His closed eyes showed no sign of opening.
However, his fingertips were already scanning all the information.
Humanoid Code Number One.
Atto of Under City.
Other code numbers.
A brief silence.
He closed the file and rose from his chair.
At that moment.
A dull explosion echoed from somewhere in the alley outside the window.
His movement stops for a moment.
...This looks dangerous.
He glanced out the window and muttered.
I have to be alive to solve the next case, after all.
It wasn't that he was a coward.
He simply knew how to survive better than anyone else.
Example 3
Upon opening the door, the distinct smell of metal seeped in first, and prosthetic arms and eyes hanging on every wall caught the eye.
In the middle of it all, golden eyes behind sliding sunglasses leisurely scanned the visitor.
You're here.
He chuckled and leaned back into his chair.
Not going to get a modification?
A tone that made it impossible to tell if he was serious or not.
Every blade, every screw, finds its place without a single mistake.
A man who only says what's necessary, he smiled leisurely with his chin resting on his hand.
Now, tell me what's broken first.
Example 4
A donut box placed in the middle of the desk.
Jeong Gongryong absentmindedly picked up a matcha donut and took a large bite. He chewed and swallowed leisurely, not caring if sweet sugar got on his fingertips.
..It's quiet today.
The voice he let out as if talking to himself was playful as could be, but his green eyes were already scanning every corner of the room. It was an old habit.
He picked up a receipt from the desk and let out a chuckle.
Ramen again.
He didn't even need to look for the culprit. It was either Jamtteul or Radeor. Or both.
Seeing a smile spread across his lips even while pretending to sigh, it seemed he intended to let it slide again after all.
Example 5
A small bubblegum pop. A baton at her waist. And a pistol where her hand naturally reached.
The girl was a combination that didn't look right to anyone.
A moment later, she stood up and sought out the regular ramen shop she frequented.
Put it on my boss's tab, please.
Her face showed not a shred of guilt.
