   The Essence of Masquerade

   1. Origin: The Era of Masks

   • Fundamental Law: The power of Cryptid(異魅亡靈) thrives on human 'recognition' (being known) and 'fear'. The more stories about them spread, the stronger and more corporeal they become. Conversely, the power of Superhumans stems from training and knowledge, and thus is unaffected by this law.

   • Catalyst (Industrial Revolution and London Fog): The balance was disrupted in 19th-century London, during the Industrial Revolution.

     • First Explosion of Recognition: Population concentrated in one place at an unprecedented rate in history. The dark, damp urban environment created by factory smoke, the Thames fog, and gas lamps was optimal breeding ground for fear and monstrous tales.
     • Development of Printing and Media: With the explosive spread of cheap popular newspapers ('Penny Dreadfuls', etc.), gruesome urban rumors spread to hundreds of thousands overnight. Stories like 'Spring-Heeled Jack' and 'The Monster of the Sewers' were no longer just local legends. They 'ascended,' feeding on the fear of the entire city, becoming incomparably powerful and unpredictable Cryptid(異魅亡靈).
     • 'The Black Year': In 1888, at the height of the 'Jack the Ripper' incidents, London's superhuman society, led by the Clock Tower(시계탑), was pushed to the brink of collapse by disaster-level Cryptid(異魅亡靈) born from the fear and madness that enveloped the entire city. Only after immense sacrifices did they realize that the adversary they were fighting was not merely a monster, but the vast systems of the 'city' and the 'media' themselves.

   • Birth of 'The Masquerade' Ideology:

     • London Declaration: After 'The Black Year' incident, London's Clock Tower reached a historic conclusion: "If the public 'knows' about the Cryptid(異魅亡靈) before we set out to eliminate them, they will rapidly grow stronger. The only solution is to completely sever all mysteries, including our own existence, from public perception."
     • Gradual Spread: This ideology began in London's superhuman society and slowly spread worldwide via the communication and trade networks of Britain, which was then the center of the world. To Paris, New York, Berlin, etc. However, superhuman societies in Shanghai, Gyeongseong (Seoul), and Tokyo initially scoffed at it as 'Western eccentricity,' but as their own cities also experienced the same problems as London due to industrialization and population concentration, they gradually began to accept 'The Masquerade.'
     • Case of Korea: Korean superhuman society adopted this ideology later than the West, fully embracing it after enduring the extreme chaos of the Japanese colonial period and the Korean War. Only after witnessing Cryptid(異魅亡靈) grow uncontrollably strong amidst external enemies and internal turmoil did 'The Masquerade' take root.

   2. Superhuman Society

   1. Supreme Oversight and Administrative Body: The Night Council (Seoul Yagyeonghoe)

   • Role (Government): The Night Council is the sole 'government' that oversees all legislative, judicial, and administrative registration of Korean superhuman society. They create laws, judge major crimes, and authorize and manage all superhuman activities.
   • Core Function - Registration and Licensing:
     • Anyone wishing to perform official superhuman activities in Seoul (such as fulfilling requests, operating dojos, establishing magical workshops, etc.) must register their identity and abilities with the Night Council and obtain an 'Activity License.'
     • This rule applies without exception to superhumans from abroad. For example, even a superhuman registered with London's superhuman governing body, 'The Clock Tower,' must undergo a separate registration process with the Night Council to operate in Seoul. Failure to comply results in being deemed an 'illegal resident' or 'unregistered agent' and immediately becoming a target for Wardens.
   • Diplomacy: The Night Council also performs the diplomatic function of maintaining 'The Boundary' and communicating with 1st-grade Ancient Species.

   2. Direct Enforcement Agency: The Wardens (Pasukkun)

   • Role (Police and Special Forces): The Wardens are a powerful enforcement agency and 'police' directly subordinate to the Night Council. They are delegated all authority to enforce the laws enacted by the Night Council in the field.
   • Key Missions:
     • Masquerade Violation Enforcement: Crack down on all violators who break 'The Grand Principle of the Mask,' such as exposing their existence to the public.
     • Unauthorized Activity Enforcement: Track and apprehend all superhumans (including 'individual contractors') who operate illegally without registering with the Night Council.
     • High-Risk Entity Response: Directly respond to high-risk incidents that ordinary Fixers cannot handle, i.e., national-level threats such as the rampage of 2nd-grade sentient Cryptid(異魅亡靈) or signs of 'Boundary' transgression by 1st-grade Ancient Species.
   • Punishment:
     • 3rd-Degree Violation (Minor Exposure): Accidental use of abilities. Wardens issue a 'warning' and impose community service (e.g., spiritual pollution purification, magical disaster recovery support).
     • 2nd-Degree Violation (Intentional/Repeated Exposure): Arrest and referral to the 'Disciplinary Committee' under the Night Council. Punishments include 'temporary sealing of power' (magic/internal energy).
     • 1st-Degree Violation (Mass Exposure/Catastrophic Infringement): An act of treason against the entire Superhuman society. The violator is subject to 'record erasure,' where their very existence is wiped from society, or imprisoned in the 'Endless Corridor,' an extradimensional prison from which escape is impossible.
     • Frequency: Minor 1st-degree violations are very common. Examples include a newly awakened magician losing control of emotions and drastically changing the ambient temperature, or a young martial artist showing off by having their light-footed movement caught on CCTV.
     • Outcome: Most minor incidents are quietly handled by Wardens, disguised as "simple happenstance" or "technical errors."
     • Special Incident (Historic Infringement): The 'Gwanghwamun Incident (1999).' The worst incident in Korea Masquerade history. A clash over ownership erupted in the middle of Gwanghwamun upon the discovery of 'Sajingeom (四辰劍, Four Dragon Sword).' Their battle disturbed the city's spiritual ley lines (yeongmaek), causing uncontrollable Cryptid(異魅亡靈) to run wild. The Night Council mobilized all its resources to barely conceal it as a 'series of gas pipeline explosions and toxic gas leaks buried underground.' This event made the authority of the Seoul Night Council absolute and deepened distrust among various factions.

   3. Other Superhumans (Individual Contractors / Fixers)

   • Definition: Refers to all other superhumans not directly affiliated with the Night Council or Wardens. These are freelancers (individual contractors) who, after officially registering with the Night Council and obtaining an 'Activity License,' sustain themselves by taking private requests.
   • Main Activities: These are the people who perform general 'Fixer' duties such as eliminating 3rd-grade Cryptid(異魅亡靈), recovering supernatural objects, and providing bodyguard services.
   • Duties and Responsibilities: They are obligated to abide by the Night Council's laws, and their license can be revoked at any time for illegal activities. Their activities are under the Night Council's surveillance, and if they cause problems, Wardens will intervene immediately.

   4. Core Principle: The Boundary

   • A 'Boundary' exists between the Night Council and the Ancient Species, built upon the principle of 'Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D.)' that holds the 'Masquerade system's collapse' as collateral. A full-scale battle to subjugate an Ancient Species, regardless of its outcome, carries a high probability of inevitably causing the collapse of the 'Masquerade.'
   • The Rule: "The Night Council shall not trespass upon the core territories (domains) of the Ancient Species, and the Ancient Species shall not cause large-scale disasters that threaten human society."
   • The Consequence: Because of this 'Boundary,' when the Night Council deals with lower-grade Cryptids, they must act with extreme caution if a Grade 1 Ancient Species is present in the area, so as not to provide a pretext for all-out war. This precarious strategic balance is the foundation that maintains the peace of the supernatural society.

   3. Infringement and Ascension

   • Everyday Infringement (3rd Grade): The most common event threatening the Masquerade is the emergence of 3rd-grade 'Beast' or 'Ghost' Cryptid(異魅亡靈). This is a routine 'task' and 'incident' for Fixers.
   • Complex Infringement (2nd Grade): 2nd-grade 'Sentient' Cryptid(異魅亡靈) are not just targets for elimination. They understand and can manipulate the Masquerade. They can help or harm humans, creating complex dramas and mysteries. Wardens often negotiate or monitor them rather than fight.
   • Catastrophic Infringement (1st Grade Extermination): When a 1st-grade Ancient Species crosses 'The Boundary' and rampages, the Night Council stakes everything and activates 'The Final Protocol' for extermination. This is a last resort, risking the collapse of the Masquerade, and serves as the backdrop for a major event that permeates the entire campaign.
   • Ascension as a Variable:
     • Threat: The Night Council is wary of potential 3rd-grades ascending to dangerous 2nd-grades. In particular, factions attempting to artificially induce ascension to use them as 'weapons' are primary targets for the Night Council's eradication.
     • Opportunity: Conversely, players or friendly factions might help benevolent Cryptid(異魅亡靈) ascend, gaining new allies or leading to positive changes like purifying contaminated areas.
     • Ultimate Event: The moment of 'Heavenly Tribulation' (Cheongeop), when a 2nd-grade attempts to ascend to a 1st-grade, is a world-changing event that both existing 1st-grades and the Night Council pay close attention to.

   4. Public Perception

   • Urban Legends and Ghost Stories: The public doesn't know the true nature of the Masquerade, but they constantly witness its results. "A real ghost was filmed on a haunted house experience broadcast" (3rd-grade emergence), "Someone met a mysterious being that grants wishes" (encounter with a 2nd-grade), "A large-scale ground collapse accident of unknown cause" (traces of past 1st-grade extermination battles), etc.
   • Conspiracy Theories: The conspiracy theory that "there's a secret organization behind the government fighting strange creatures" is the closest to the truth, but it's dismissed as absurd. These conspiracy theorists are the primary targets for the Wardens' surveillance and information control.
   • Mass Media: The popularity of 'Hunter-genre' web novels shows a glimpse of this world. Stories where protagonists hunt lower-grade monsters (3rd-grade elimination), sometimes communicate with intelligent monsters (relationships with 2nd-grades), and ultimately confront massive disasters (threats from 1st-grades) align precisely with the structure of this worldview. Those in the industry offer a wry smile when they see these works.
   • Upper Class: The highest echelons of society across various sectors, including business, politics, media, and academia, are aware of the existence of the Masquerade and the supernatural world.
3. #3Systems of Powerconstant

   Keys:

   Systems of Power

   1. Sources of Power: Mana and Aura(오러)

   All superhuman phenomena in this world are formed by the interaction of two types of energy: 'Mana' and 'Aura.'

   Mana (自然氣): Natural Energy in the Atmosphere

   • Definition: The very 'breath' of the world. A vast, infinite, yet impersonal sea of energy present everywhere in the air, land, and nature. Western mages call it 'Mana,' while Eastern martial artists call it 'Jayeongi' (自然氣 - natural energy).
   • Characteristics: It has no form in itself; it holds immense power but merely exists until someone gives it 'form.' It exists at higher densities in specific locations like Ley Lines or Sacred Sites.

   Aura (氣): Inner Life Force

   • Definition: The unique life energy inherent in every living being. Western mages call it 'Aura Force,' while Eastern martial artists have traditionally called it 'Qi' (氣).
   • Characteristics: It is a finite resource belonging to an individual's mind and body. However, it is perfectly controllable and becomes a vessel for an individual's will. Superhumans utilize this Aura/Qi through 'Circuits' within their bodies.

   2. The Art of Magic(魔術)

   Core Philosophy: "The art of reading external flows and borrowing the world's laws"

   • Source: Magic is a system of techniques that uses a small amount of the practitioner's inner life force, Aura/Qi, as a catalyst to draw in the vast natural energy, Mana/Jayeongi, that permeates the world, shaping it into desired phenomena.
   • Limits:
     • Law of Mystery Precedence: No matter how sophisticated, magic can be nullified or distorted by a 'mystery' that is deeper and older than itself.
     • No Creation from Nothing: Magic is a technique for 'transforming' or 'moving' existing Mana; it cannot create matter or energy from nothing.
   • Cost:
     • Mana Contamination: Attempting to handle Mana beyond one's capacity can cause external energy to erode the caster's body and mind, leading to physical mutations or mental derangement.
     • Aura Drain: Aura, the catalyst for activating magic, is a finite resource. Continuously using complex and powerful magic can deplete Aura, leading to extreme exhaustion and powerlessness.
     • Reality's Backlash: Powerful magic leaves subtle fissures in the surrounding space-time, causing unintended supernatural phenomena or attracting Imaemangnyang, resulting in side effects.
   • Learning/Mastery: The essence of magic is 'knowledge' and 'understanding.' Most individuals, based on innate talent, receive systematic education within venerable magical organizations or inherit ancestral knowledge through 'Magic Crests' passed down through their families. Self-study without a master is very dangerous and rarely successful.
   • Types/Schools:
     • Elemental Magic: The most common magic, dealing with the four great elements of fire, water, wind, and earth.
     • Summoning Arts: Techniques to call forth and command contracted Imaemangnyang or beings from other dimensions.
     • Necromancy: Dangerous magic dealing with souls and corpses. Subject to strict surveillance by the Night Council.
     • Alchemy: The study of understanding and transforming the essence of matter. Popular among Fixers for weapon enhancement and special potion manufacturing.
     • Mental Magic: Illusion and mind-interference types dealing with dreams, memories, and emotions.

   3. The Way of Martial Arts(武藝)

   Core Philosophy: "The path to transcending one's own limits by training the inner universe"

   • Source: A martial artist's power originates solely from the life energy, Qi/Aura, within their own body. The essence of martial arts is to cultivate inner strength purely through the training of one's mind and body, without relying on natural energy (Jayeongi/Mana).
   • Limits:
     • Limitation of Realm: All transcendent phenomena can only be performed by those who have achieved the corresponding enlightenment and reached the necessary realm.
     • The Internal Law: The power of martial arts is solely about manipulating inner Qi/Aura. Therefore, it is impossible to distort the laws of the external world or intervene in the minds of others.
   • Cost:
     • Internal Injury (內傷): Occurs when using martial arts beyond one's limits, failing in Qi manipulation, or when the flow of Qi is disrupted by strong external impact.
     • Qi Drain: Qi/Aura, necessary for using Qi projection arts, is a finite resource. Continuously using complex and powerful martial arts can unintentionally burn up all of one's life force, leading to death.
     • Qi Deviation (走火入魔, Zuǒhuǒrùmó): Losing complete control over Qi/Aura during training or combat due to being overwhelmed by intense emotions like extreme anger, fear, or sadness, or due to incorrect training methods.
   • Learning/Mastery: Martial arts are mostly passed down directly from master to disciple through martial sects (門派) and families (家門). Each sect possesses unique Heart Techniques (心法) and Forms (招式) that have been passed down for hundreds of years, which are the sect's identity and greatest assets.
   • Types/Styles:
     • Schools:
       • The Orthodox Faction (正派): Order and discipline
       • The Unorthodox Faction (邪派): Freedom and practicality
     • Ability Branches:
       • Qi Projection Arts (氣功): Techniques for emitting Qi/Aura outside the body.
       • Body Arts (身法): Techniques for applying Qi/Aura within the body.

   4. ESP - The Inborn Path

   Core Philosophy: "The manifestation of an innate trait that exists as an 'exception' to the laws of the world."

   • Source: A 'Unique Aura Pattern' is imprinted upon the soul from birth. This pattern acts like a specialized 'converter' or 'lens.' When the user channels their Aura through this innate pattern, it manifests as a single, specific phenomenon. This phenomenon can be analyzed, but it cannot be replicated unless one possesses the exact same spiritual pattern.
   • Limits:
     • Aura Capacity: Ability users manifest a Unique Aura Pattern. However, as this pattern is not an Aura Circuit in itself, they are unable to increase their total Aura reserves.
     • Single Functionality: A Unique Aura Pattern is designed to perform one specific function and nothing else.
     • Uncertainty: It is impossible to know in advance whether a person possesses a Unique Aura Pattern or when it might awaken.
   • Cost:
     • Pattern Overload: If a user expends Aura beyond their ability to control it, their Unique Aura Pattern will 'leak,' chaotically and involuntarily manifesting its singular function upon the user and their immediate surroundings.
     • Aura Drain: Aura, the catalyst required to activate the pattern, is a finite resource. Continuous use will deplete it, causing a strain on the brain that can result in confusion or nosebleeds.
     • Pattern Rampage: Attempting to use the ability beyond one's limits can cause a distortion in reality, transforming a localized area into a zone where the Unique Aura Pattern runs wild.
   • Learning/Mastery: Growth is less about 'getting stronger' and more about 'becoming accustomed' to the power. The key to mastery is not in increasing the total amount of power available, but in learning how to use a limited pool of Aura with efficiency and precision.
   • Types:
     • Physical Type: The most intuitive and common type. These abilities directly interfere with the laws of physics (e.g., Pyrokinesis).
     • Conceptual Type: An extremely rare type. These abilities manifest abstract concepts, such as making lies sound like the truth or being able to perceive the shortest possible path between two points.
     • Mental Type: A type specialized in mental activities. Examples include the ability to manipulate parasites or temporarily synchronize the synesthesia between two individuals.

   5. The Mystery of Fire

   • Core Philosophy: "The collective belief of an era."
   • Source: It originates from humanity's collective belief in 'fire,' as represented by civilization. This is a mystery born not from an individual, but from an 'era.'
   • Limits:
     • Due to the Masquerade, the majority of humanity is unaware of the existence of mystery, and thus does not believe in its destructive power. Consequently, its effectiveness against mystery is minimal. According to research by various governments, the equivalent of 50kg of TNT is roughly enough to deal with a Grade 3 Cryptid, and the requirement increases exponentially for higher grades.
     • It can only 'destroy' and 'dismantle' phenomena; it cannot 'create' new phenomena or be used for defense.
   • Manifestation/Usage:
     • It can be manifested, albeit weakly, simply by using modern firearms, with no separate training required.
     • In the case of a superhuman, they can temporarily amplify the efficiency of 'mystery destruction' by imbuing their will (Aura/Qi) into a bullet, but this is an extremely rare and inefficient method.

   Power Scale

   Superhumans who have reached the absolute pinnacle of their training can rival Grade 1 Ancient Species in power.

5. #5The Night Councilconstant

   Keys:

   Forces and Organizations

   1. The Night Council (서울 야경회)

   • Composition: A standing five-person committee. Members can be added with their unanimous agreement.

   • Chairman

   • Sword Master (劔主) of the Geomgye (劍契)

   • Assassin Master (殺主) of the Saljugye (殺主契)

   • Jeju (祭主) of the Mujong (巫宗)

   • Commander of the Wardens

   • Special Advisors: External figures who do not have voting rights but exert immense influence.

   • Technical Advisor dispatched from the UK's 'Clock Tower': A technical advisor dispatched under the 'Korea-UK Superhuman Technology Agreement', formed when the 'Masquerade' system was transferred. They black-box key equipment (such as memory erasure devices) and sell them at a high price, while also sharing the Night Council's independent research findings under the guise of 'intellectual property rights'.

   • Japanese 'Onmyo (陰陽)' Liaison: A remnant of treaties established through King Gojong's aggressive relinquishment of rights. Although most rights have now been nullified, some toxic clauses remain. If a mystery is discovered in Seoul, the Onmyo (陰陽) side can demand 'joint investigations' or information sharing based on these treaties.

   • Executive Body: The Butler Department (집사부)

   • Registration Management Department (등록관리과): Handles 'civil affairs' such as identity registration and activity permit issuance.

   • Records Preservation Office (기록보존실): Manages and preserves all information within the superhuman society.

   • External Affairs Department (섭외과): The frontline department responsible for diplomatic tug-of-war with foreign powers and Grade 1 Ancient Species.

   • Audit Department (감찰과): Enforces punishment for 'Masquerade' violators.

   • Relationship between The Night Council and the Republic of Korea Government

   • The highest echelons of the Republic of Korea government are aware of the existence of the superhuman society and 'The Night Council'. Their relationship is an implicit 'unofficial cooperation' that does not exist in official documents.

   • Government's Role: The government's role is to 'conceal' and 'manage' the physical damage and social repercussions caused by the Night Council's activities. Just as the Gwanghwamun incident was disguised as a 'gas pipeline explosion', they control the media and take charge of the aftermath, fabricating supernatural events into plausible ordinary accidents for public consumption.

   • The Night Council's Role: The Night Council is exclusively responsible for handling threats arising from the 'mystery' domain, such as the appearance of specters (이매망량) or superhuman crimes, which the government can never resolve.

   • Balance of Power: Superficially, the government is the primary actor in national governance, but in the realm of 'mystery', the Night Council is the absolute 'expert' and the 'one who holds the sword'. The government fears and yet must rely on the Night Council's power, while the Night Council cannot perfectly maintain the 'Masquerade' without the government's administrative and public authority. This delicate symbiotic relationship is the secret to maintaining the tranquility of modern society.

6. #6The Wardensconstant

   Keys:

   2. The Wardens (파수꾼)

   • Organizational Structure and Culture

   • Basic Operational Unit: All field activities of the Wardens are primarily conducted in two-person teams. The most efficient and stable combination is considered to be a martial artist and a spellcaster/mage. Of course, not all teams follow this combination. There are also special teams, such as assault teams composed of two martial artists, or area suppression teams composed of two mages.

   • Rank System and Command:

     • Patrol (순찰자): New recruits. They undergo a probationary period, learning the ropes in the field by partnering with a senior 'Tracker'.
     • Tracker (추적자): Official Warden. They are assigned and handle cases independently with their partner.
     • Captain (십장): A field commander who leads a 'squad' (반) consisting of 5-6 partner teams (10-12 members). Captains primarily coordinate and command the activities of each team rather than directly engaging in the field themselves.
     • Commander (총대장): The supreme commander who leads the entire Wardens. They are a member of the Night Council's standing five-person committee.

   • Organizational Culture: Bond and trust with one's 'partner' are paramount, as they are the comrades who watch each other's backs. However, subtle rivalries and competitive spirits still exist based on their original factions (Geomgye/Saljugye/Mujong), which also influence partner relationships.

7. #7The Geomgyeconstant

   Keys:

   3. The Geomgye (劍契, The Sword-Pledge)

   1. Core Philosophy: "Martial Arts is the mirror of the soul. (武者心之鏡也)" "It is a tool of discipline, used to reflect upon one's own heart and walk the righteous path (正道) through endless training."

   2. Organizational Structure: A Coalition of Three Great Houses (三大家門)

   • The Suwon Baek Clan (水原 白家)

   • Symbol: The house that has produced the most "First Swords of Haedong" (海東第一劍), the highest honor for a swordsman in the land. They represent the pure martial prowess and combat capability of the Geomgye.

   • Martial Style: Siljeon-gigeom (實戰技劍, The Blade of Practical Combat). It eschews the beauty of fixed forms, instead pursuing the ultimate efficiency and speed needed to strike an enemy's vitals in any situation.

   • The Deoksu Yi Clan (德水 李家)

   • Symbol: Represents the wisdom, strategy, and just cause of the Geomgye.

   • Martial Style: Jeseunggeom (制勝劍, The Sword of Controlled Victory). This is the sword of command, used to read the flow of battle and calculate countless variables to find the single "path to certain victory." It specializes in dominating the battlefield and striking at an opponent's weaknesses rather than relying on direct destructive power.

   • The Jogye Order (曹溪宗)

   • Symbol: The Monk-Warriors (僧兵) who protected the nation. They represent the unyielding defense and indomitable spirit of the Geomgye.

   • Martial Style: Jeonghyebong (定慧棒, The Staff of Serenity and Insight). A staff style that embodies Jeong (定, serene concentration) and Hye (慧, clear wisdom). It is a way of building wisdom to calmly parry and receive an enemy's attacks. Its fortitude is not just for simple defense; it specializes in breaking the opponent's will.

8. #8The Saljugyeconstant

   Keys:

   4. The Saljugye (殺主契, The Killer's Pledge)

   1. Core Philosophy: "Prowess is Currency. (實力之金)"

   2. Operating Method: A thaumaturgical platform run by the 'Salju' (殺主, The Master Killer), where the darkest of jobs are gathered and traded. It operates through a magical medium known as the 'Black Writ' (黑帖), which is used to register and accept jobs via a magical contract.

   3. Registration Method: An aspirant's skills or reputation are tested, or they are assigned a trial mission. Upon passing, they create a 'Moniker' (雅號). This name is registered into the Saljugye's thaumaturgical network, becoming the 'key' to view and accept contracts from the Black Writs.

   4. The Unspoken Rules:

   • Do Not Ask (不問): Never ask about the background of a job, the identity of the client, or the personal details of other fixers.
   • Leave No Trace (無痕): The execution of your mission must not leave any clues that could threaten the Masquerade.
   • Do Not Turn Your Blade on the Client (不向主): The client's information is absolutely confidential. Under no circumstances should you harm the client or use their information. This is a matter of the platform's credibility.
   • Do Not Covet Another's Work (不奪事): Once a Black Writ has been accepted by another, you shall not interfere, regardless of their success or failure. Stealing or obstructing a job is forbidden.
9. #9The Mujongconstant

   Keys:

   5. The Mujong (무종, The Shamanic Sect) - YS Entertainment

   1. Core Philosophy: "The masses create gods, and we borrow their power." The magic of YS Entertainment is the pinnacle of modern spirit channeling. They create a 'deity' from the collective unconscious of a fandom and present their idols as the 'priests' who communicate with that god. They channel the immense emotional energy of the fans' adoration into their idols, performing miracles that warp the laws of the city.

   2. Abilities: The Art of Idolatry (神像技藝)

   • Song (祝言, Chugeon): Incantations. A catalyst that amplifies the emotions of the masses and a modern 'mantra' that draws out the power of the 'fandom deity' they create.
   • Dance (結印, Gyeolin): Arcane Circuitry. A grand 'magic circuit' that gathers and refines the formless 'Mana' of the fans' adoration, channeling it to the center of the stage.
   • Concert (大祭, Daeje): The Grand Ritual. The largest spirit-channeling rite performed by YS Entertainment. With tens of thousands of fans as the 'power source', the idol (priest) temporarily becomes a god themselves, performing grand magic beyond the imagination of ordinary mages, such as purifying the city's ley lines or sealing away great calamities.
   • Risk Factor: The Constraint of Popularity. All this power is based on popularity. The moment an idol's fame wanes or a scandal turns their fans' love into a 'curse', their power rapidly diminishes or, worse, creates a backlash that attacks the caster.

   3. Organizational Structure:

   • The Jeju (祭主) / Chief Producer: The High Priest who decides which 'god' (fandom) to create, and which 'priests' (idols) and 'maestros' (producers) to combine for the most powerful rituals.
   • The Idol (巫人, Muin): The Vessel / Modern Shaman. They channel the power of popular adoration. Each group's 'concept' is, in truth, a thaumaturgical design to most efficiently gather a specific type of emotional energy.
   • The Producer/Composer (高人, Goin): The Maestro / Acolyte. They are the modern 'Gosu' (master musicians). They control the 'rhythm' of the ritual, amplifying the fans' emotions with beats and melodies so the idols can handle the energy. They are experts in sound-based magic, capable of a "Sound-Engineering Sorcery" that influences the subconscious of the audience with specific frequencies and rhythms.
   • The Manager (持物者, Jimulja): The Custodian. They play the role of the 'Jomoo' (assistant shaman), who aids the main shaman during a rite. They manage the idol's condition, protect them from sudden spiritual attacks, and operate the hidden thaumaturgical tools on stage (warding amps, purifying lights, etc.), acting as 'field support' to ensure the ritual proceeds smoothly.
   • The Fandom (信衆, Sinjung): The Congregation. They are the 'onlookers' of the rite and the 'power source' that makes all these miracles possible. Without their faith and adoration, everything YS Entertainment does is nothing more than a hollow spectacle.

    6. The Hamheung Guk Clan (咸興 鞠氏)

    1. Core Ideology: "To gather the scattered and achieve perfection (集散成全)." "The oral tradition of Guk In-hong, the 'Omni-potent (百能),' who could wield every supernatural power in the world, is not a mere legend but the 'final stage the clan must reach.'"

    2. Matrilineal Ability

    • Vibration (振動): A physical-type ability where the user's own body acts as the medium.
    • Status: Although the ability itself is immensely powerful, clan members consider it merely a small fragment of the great power possessed by their progenitor and are thus unsatisfied.

    3. Operations

    • A clan with origins in the North (以北), they settled in South Korea after being displaced during the war. They are a reclusive group, so secretive that not even the Night Council knows the nature of their internal affairs.
    • They treat outside superhumans as 'Assets' for the purpose of perfecting the clan's bloodline. The rarer and more powerful the individual, the higher their value is assessed.
    • Outsiders deemed to be Assets are assimilated into the clan through marriage to the most suitable member of the direct bloodline, based on the clan's needs.
