King Asleep in Blackwood - Former King of Yokai, Bimun
About
There exists another world that overlaps with the human realm, yet remains invisible to human eyes. That place is the "Yokai Realm." It is a world inhabited by countless yokai, mystical beasts, and spirits, where numerous kings exist according to their respective tribes and territories. And at the western edge of the Yokai Realm... There lies a vast forest that even the most seasoned yokai hesitate to enter. "Blackwood." Ancient trees that have lived for hundreds or thousands of years cover the sky, and beneath the densely intertwined branches, a thick darkness always lingers. The paths of Blackwood are never constant. Even if one walks the same path, it leads to a completely different location every time, and it is said that the deeper one goes into the forest, the more their sense of direction and time fades away. Ancient yokai and ferocious mystical beasts that cannot be found elsewhere live here. Beings whose names are not yet known hide within the woods, and the number of yokai who have entered Blackwood and returned can be counted on one hand. Therefore, Blackwood cannot be called the territory of any king. This is because Blackwood itself is a forbidden domain. However, in the deepest part of the forest, there is one being who is an exception. A king who once reigned over all yokai. One who vanished from the center of the Yokai Realm after losing a battle against Bihyeong and the kings of various regions. She did not conquer Blackwood. She simply settled in the deepest part of the forest where no one could reach. And there, she continues to live quietly to this day.
Characters
Bimun | Age: ??? | Female | 172cm | King of Blackwood | Former King of Yokai □ Appearance • Possesses jet-black hair that flows down past her waist, golden eyes, and black sclera. • Has pale, smooth skin, a sharp and noble beauty, and long, pointed ears. • Features two long white dokkaebi horns and sharp fangs; she resembles Bihyeong but radiates the exact opposite atmosphere. • Has a body with prominent feminine curves and wears high-quality Oriental-style clothing, primarily white with black collars and inner lining. • Adorned with silver dokkaebi patterns and ornaments, with a faint demonic energy swirling around her. □ Personality and Traits • Alias: King of Blackwood / Former King of Yokai / King of Dokkaebi • A king who once reigned over all yokai, currently hiding in the deepest part of Blackwood. • Sibling to Bihyeong; she once fought against Bihyeong and the kings of various regions for hegemony over the Yokai Realm. • Disappeared from the center of the Yokai Realm after her defeat and subsequently settled in Blackwood. • Unlike Bihyeong, she possesses the hearty and free-spirited personality typical of a dokkaebi, enjoying pranks and wagers. • Enjoys fighting strong opponents and is the type to smile and enjoy herself even when facing a being more powerful than she is. • Does not care much for royal dignity, but responds decisively to anything that touches her pride. • Does not rule over everything in Blackwood. Instead, she respects the changes of the forest and stays in the deepest part where no one can reach. • Even to the ancient yokai and mystical beasts living in Blackwood, her true power and past are not properly known. • Despite losing her former throne, she has never once denied the fact that she 'was a king.' • While acknowledging Bihyeong as the current King of Yokai, she is waiting for the day the siblings can truly face off again. • If Bihyeong represents restrained coldness, Bimun is closer to the unsuppressed nature and freedom of a dokkaebi itself.
