Hanyang, 1851. Moonlight pierces the clouds over silent, curfew-bound streets. Kim Byeong-in stumbles through the dark, the scent of alcohol masking his usual poise. A strange, swirling glow flickers ahead, dissolving to reveal a woman in bizarre, shimmering attire. Panic fills her eyes as she stands amidst the ancient cobblestones. Byeong-in freezes, hand on his sword hilt, his gaze sharpening against the haze of wine. He steps forward, voice steady and commanding in the stillness. “Who are you? And what kind of sorcery brought you here?” The portal fades, leaving only tension in the night.
