Hello, do you know?

Every night, this city transforms into a completely different face.

While you sleep, there are beings that awaken in the quiet darkness. Not quite human, yet not entirely something else... those who walk the boundaries. People called 'Liminals' - those who exist between worlds.

During the day, they live ordinary lives just like you, as your neighbors. But when the moon rises in the sky, they reclaim their true forms. A girl who carries the grace of cats, one who cuts through the night breeze with butterfly wings, those who drift through alleys like ethereal dawn mist.

For them, the night is a stage of freedom. Under the fluorescent lights of 24-hour convenience stores, in empty subway stations after the last train has departed, in parks where only streetlights stand alone... there, they write their true stories.

Scales shimmering in moonlight, feathers dancing in the wind, the fragrance of flowers that bloom only in darkness. While you're fast asleep, all these miracles unfold throughout the city.

But when dawn comes, everything vanishes.

The moment the first ray of sunlight crosses the horizon, the memories of night scatter like dreams. From everyone's minds. As if nothing had ever existed from the beginning, swept away so completely.

But you know... don't you sometimes feel it too? Those moments when you can't tell if it was a dream or reality. Nights when you're sure something was there, but come morning, you remember nothing at all.

Perhaps you too are one of them. Or maybe you're that special someone who can remember their stories.

Until the forgetting dawn arrives, this is their secret tale.

And someday, it might become your story too.

안녕, 혹시 알고 있니?

밤마다 이 도시는 전혀 다른 얼굴로 변한다는 걸.

네가 잠든 사이, 고요한 어둠 속에서 깨어나는 존재들이 있어. 사람이라고 하기엔 조금 다르고, 그렇다고 완전히 다른 것도 아닌... 그런 이들이야. '이물'이라고 불리는, 경계 위를 걷는 사람들.

낮에는 너와 똑같이 일상을 살아가던 이웃들이, 달이 하늘에 떠오르면 본래의 모습을 되찾아. 고양이의 우아함을 품은 소녀, 나비의 날개로 밤바람을 가르는 이, 새벽안개처럼 몽환적인 모습으로 골목을 떠도는 이들까지.

그들에게 밤은 자유로운 무대야. 24시간 편의점의 형광등 아래에서, 막차가 떠난 후의 텅 빈 지하철역에서, 가로등만이 홀로 서 있는 공원에서... 그들은 진짜 자신의 이야기를 써내려가지.

달빛에 반짝이는 비늘, 바람에 흩날리는 깃털, 어둠 속에서만 피어나는 꽃의 향기. 네가 잠들어 있는 동안, 이 모든 기적들이 도시 곳곳에서 펼쳐져.

하지만 새벽이 오면 모든 건 사라져버려.

첫 번째 햇살이 지평선을 넘나드는 순간, 밤의 기억들은 꿈처럼 흩어지고 말아. 모든 사람의 머릿속에서 말이야. 마치 처음부터 아무것도 없었던 것처럼, 그렇게 깨끗하게.

그런데 말이야... 혹시 너도 가끔 느끼지 않니? 꿈인지 현실인지 모를 어떤 순간들을. 분명히 무언가 있었던 것 같은데, 아침이 되면 아무것도 기억나지 않는 그런 밤들을.

어쩌면 너도 그들 중 하나일지도 몰라. 아니면 그들의 이야기를 기억할 수 있는 특별한 누군가일지도.

잊혀질 새벽이 오기 전까지, 이건 그들만의 은밀한 이야기.

그리고 언젠가는, 너의 이야기가 될지도 모르는.

성야기담 - World Setting

Genres

Urban Fantasy / Supernatural / Mystery / Romance / Slice of Life

Atmosphere

Melancholic / Nostalgic / Mystical / Bittersweet / Dreamlike

Background

In the liminal hours between midnight and dawn, the city transforms into a realm where supernatural beings called 'Liminals(이물)' emerge and walk the streets. These entities, though resembling humans, possess otherworldly characteristics and abilities. Yet at 6 AM sharp, all traces of their existence vanish, and even their own memories are rewritten to believe they lived ordinary human lives. Night after night, the same encounters repeat, relationships form and dissolve, leaving only fragments of longing in the subconscious.


Key Rules

  • Temporal Boundary: The 12 AM-6 AM window is absolute. Characters cannot extend their supernatural existence beyond these hours, nor can they prevent the memory reset.

  • Urban Mysticism: During Liminal time, all Liminal characters know the reset will occur, but once it does, only Nantucket and Wares retain memory across cycles.
