      INV 96 Cover
      by twenty — "Uh-huh, stay quiet. If you want to walk out of here with your limbs intact. I'll let you go when the time is right." "We're innocent! What's the problem?! Is it about the bribes we took at the guest house?! I'll even offer some makgeolli to the village guardian tree. Then it'll be fine! You don't... you don't have to go this far!" "Yeah, save the self-defense for court. We aren't the types to listen to that stuff." "Shit! I'm losing it!" The primary task of the underworld is trial. When the…

      by twenty — — The Reaper Murder Case. Needless to say, it is a fresh anecdote that makes no sense. What exactly is the underworld? When a field-duty civil servant takes over a deceased person listed on the register and brings them in, they go through a trial in a judicial institution. Their additional crimes are judged, and their good deeds are praised before they are sent to the next stage. Whether that leads to the next life or the next hell. It depends entirely on the trajectory that person…

      INV 94 Cover
      by twenty — 'Was Samra this rotten to the core?' At this point, Gwak Deukcheon wondered if it was finally time to accept the promotion offer to Great King Yama that he had repeatedly rejected. The proposition that one must seize power to implement reform was a subject that had fatigued Gwak Deukcheon for a long time. Yet, once one engages in political maneuvering to grasp that power, one becomes corrupt. Then, reform becomes impossible. It was a chronic dilemma. 'I refused because wearing the crown…

      INV 93 Cover
      by twenty — There is no need to continue a play that isn't working. It is a waste of energy. So, Kwon Yihyeon spoke nonchalantly. "Eat a decent meal before you go. I'll pay." As for Park Seongjun, who was facing him, he honestly felt like he was looking at a psychopath. The guy he had known since they were little brats had just put on a masterful performance all by himself, and now he was standing up with his bag, looking bored. 'Is he really planning to leave? After all that?' Park Seongjun stood up to…

      INV 92 Cover
      by twenty — Park Seongjun was not a difficult person to deal with. He had received the divine call at a young age and worked as a male shaman—a child shaman. If one were to look into it deeply, becoming a shaman is categorized into types like gangsinmu (charismatic shamans) or seseopmu (hereditary shamans), but in South Korea—unlike the North—most shamans are hereditary. This means the divine line descends according to bloodline. Park Seongjun's family had worked in the shamanic profession for…

      INV 91

      INV 91 Cover
      by twenty — Being kind is exhausting. To repeat myself, I sincerely mean it. It would be worth recalling the impression Seoul left on Kwon Yihyeon once again. Forming relationships is painful, and he is weary of living. Whether it was goodwill or hostility, it didn't matter; he wished for no one to invade the deepest parts of his heart. However, a kind person cannot hide their tender heart, whether they are in Seoul or Samra. "Intern Kwon. Try this. It’s delicious." "No, I do not want it." "You…

      INV 90 Cover
      by twenty — There are all sorts of people in the world, and people are always changing. Having the capacity for change is perhaps the greatest characteristic of a human being. Immortals, being enlightened ones, cannot change easily. However, humans are sentient beings who have not yet reached enlightenment and are submerged in delusion; thus, they can change quite nimbly. For that reason, it is said they fall into depravity easily and corrupt easily... regardless, the possibility of changing in a good…

      INV 89 Cover
      by twenty — Patience is wearing thin. As Kwon Yihyeon tapped his booted foot a couple of times on the spot, the sound of dry fallen leaves crushing echoed beneath him. It is a perfect day for a forest fire. Kwon Yihyeon knows it, and the enemy knows it. The South Korean government knows it, and the Afterlife knows it as well. However, for the past three years, South Korea's total strength has been poured not into fire watches, but into suppressing yōkai. It is only natural. Since the world has been…

      by twenty — “Hey! No! Fall back! Fuck, run away!” “Not right now! Don’t you see that thing is insane? He’s ready to kill you or anyone else! Hey, Kwon Yihyeon...!” He let all the shouts go in one ear and out the other. He gripped his sword heavily with one hand, letting it hang. Then, he acted exactly as he had seen and learned. Gathering the energy that was wandering chaotically throughout his body into a single point, he extended it into a thin thread and poured it out in five branches, following…

      INV 87 Cover
      by twenty — It is a damn shame, but Kwon Yihyeon must go to work today as well. No matter what horrific sight he saw yesterday, the company does not take an employee's personal circumstances into account. It is not that kind of space. Even if the superiors in the department were preposterously friendly, professional boundaries had to be maintained. Before Chacha—who had approached and, for some reason, stood looking down at him for a long time—could wake him, Kwon Yihyeon sprang up, thinking it was better to…
