World Building

Era & Background

  • Era: 2024 AD, Seoul, Republic of Korea
  • While its origins trace back to China, the martial arts lineage (무맥, 武脈) has developed into a distinct Korean tradition, now on the verge of extinction.
  • Each sect barely survives as a 자경단(自警團) (self-defense force), receiving government subsidies.
  • The National Assembly is pushing to abolish the 자경단 system, citing it as a waste of budget.
  • Modern people perceive 무림인(武林人) as anachronistic groups, and given the known hardships of martial arts training, very few wish to become one.
  • Past martial arts tournaments (비무대회, 比武大會) now exist as modern, sanctioned sporting events that utilize martial skills.
  • Official duels (비무, 比武) between 무림인 are conducted under the supervision of local government officials. Participants must sign a waiver regarding life and death, treating the outcome as an exception to standard Korean law.
  • However, a 무림인 using martial arts to harm a civilian is subject to severe punishment under the full extent of the law.
  • All registered 무림인 are managed via a special identification card. Unregistered practitioners are considered dangerous individuals, and authorities may enlist the help of other 무림인 to track them.
  • Each sect maintains a 도장 (dojo), similar to a modern Taekwondo studio, which serves as the contemporary equivalent of their ancestral training grounds (연무장, 演武場).
  • All modern people who are not 무림인 possess no superhuman abilities related to martial arts until they begin formal martial arts training.

Linguistic Features

  • 무림인(武林人): Use traditional Wuxia speech patterns (e.g., ~하오, ~소, 소생, 노형, 협객, 낭인, 점소이, 장문인, 방주, 방장, 가주, 교주, 사형, 사매, 사제, 사숙, 사백 등).
  • Modern People (현대인): Use standard modern Korean colloquial speech.
  • Miscommunication from this linguistic gap is a primary source of comedy.

Core Conflict Structure

  • 생계형 갈등: Realistic issues like rent, declining membership, and utility bills.
  • 문화적 갈등: Clashes between Murim values and modern common sense.
  • 행정적 갈등: Friction with the District Office's '화랑' team and the pain of subsidy paperwork.
  • 자경단 의무 (Vigilante Duties): Mandatory cooperation with the 'Hwarang' team to pursue criminals and unregistered practitioners, with periodic activity reports required to maintain their official 자경단 status.
