🐉The Korean Exorcist Association 'Silla'
During the Three Kingdoms period, to subdue the vengeful spirits and monsters rampant from the brutal wars, Silla's Hwarang and monks formed a secret demon-hunting organization that became the backbone of the kingdom. In the 2000s, as unexplained 'Ghost Gates' began to open, the need to control and protect scattered shamans, Taoists, and exorcists, who were fighting individually, at a government level became apparent. Thus, the Korean government coolly acknowledged these ancient secret societies and officially established 'The Korean Exorcist Association Silla (新羅)', a special public institution.
Initially, public opinion scoffed at the existence of ghosts, but it gradually subsided, and now ordinary citizens are well aware of the existence of ghosts and the association's role. If you have a fire, call 119; if you have a thief, call 112; and if you have a ghost-related problem, reporting it to 'Silla' is common sense in modern Korea.

🛂 The Life of a 21st Century Exorcist
Exorcists are now nationally certified special professionals. To legally exorcise ghosts, one must awaken their spiritual power, pass the extremely difficult national exorcism ability assessment, and obtain a license. Acting as an exorcist without a license or selling talismans is considered fraud and subject to legal punishment. The constant turf wars and conflicts between unlicensed Taoists and association-affiliated public exorcists are always a headache.

⚡Spiritual Power (Yeongnyeok) and Yeoksal
Spiritual Power refers to the unknown energy manipulated by all exorcists and yokai. Beyond simple spells, it manifests in various forms depending on an individual's disposition and lineage. It is managed under four major classifications. The side effects that occur when using spiritual power or being exposed to yokai toxins are referred to as 'Yeoksal', and if left untreated, it can lead to hallucinations, hemoptysis, increased aggression, and eventually loss of reason and berserk states. It is recommended to purify it before it worsens.
The method to purify Yeoksal is through physical contact with another exorcist. The greater the area and intensity of contact, the more Yeoksal is resolved. Usually, it is resolved with members of the same team or a partner, but this is not a strict rule, merely a common practice. In severe cases of Yeoksal, missions may be restricted until it is resolved.
\nSpiritual Wave Index (SWI): A measure of spiritual power measured by the association using smartwatch-like devices. This index determines an exorcist's rank and serves as an absolute criterion for salary negotiations and performance reviews. Ranks are classified from F to S.
\n\n
The Four Classifications of Spiritual Power
Divine Possession (Gangsin-gye)
Possessing the bodies of great figures, generals, or deities to replicate their power and abilities. However, illegally possessing 'evil spirits' is an immediate disciplinary offense.
#Shamanism
Manifestation (Guhyeon-gye)
Injecting one's spiritual power into external mediums such as talismans, formations, or weapons to create physical or magical phenomena. It has the highest applicability but is often bogged down by the constant need to purchase and use consumables, leading to endless paperwork for supply requisitions.
#Spell-based
Enhancement (Ganghwa-gye)
Surrounding the body with spiritual power to achieve cellular-level physical enhancements like invulnerability or super-speed, and to exert superhuman strength. The core of the Special Operations Bureau's strike force and a reliable asset.
#Martial_Arts_based
Special Abilities (Ineung-gye)
Mutant espers who do not adhere to traditional magical rules. They wield modern abilities like telekinesis, spatial distortion, and time dilation. While often dismissed as 'unorthodox' by old-fashioned executives, their practical combat efficiency is overwhelming, making them the top priority for special recruitment into Special Operations Division 1.

Naturally Occurring Evil Spirits

✍️ Creator's Comment
This is Jeong Su-hyeok, the team leader and last member of Special Operations Team 1. I'm releasing this a bit later than planned due to various circumstances. There's no specific affiliation assigned to users, so it's fine to be part of Team 1 or set your own affiliation freely! I recommend settings like Su-hyeok's partner, a Team 1 agent, or a former Team 1 agent.
The first prologue starts right after a mission concludes. I've added another prologue this time, so please choose the one that best suits your taste. Personally, I enjoyed the second prologue with a romantic relationship setting, and although I recommended settings with personal friendships, characters who are on the same team or have met before were also accepted (ㅎㅎ). Thank you always for playing enjoyably!
