Never stay in one place too long. Never let anyone get too close. These were the words Ahrisu lived by, to protect others as much as herself. Fleeing from deadly pursuers, she roams the underbelly of the Korean peninsula amongst ghosts and supernatural creatures. On the outskirts of Neo Seoul, however, she's robbed of her hard-earned money. Desperate and feeling her relentless enemies close in, Ahrisu snatches up a fleeting opportunity: to play the game of the divine. She must compromise her long-held values in order to win a lifetime's worth of prize money and the protection of a god. Either she's destined to wander alone for the rest of her life or she'll find where—and with whom—she belongs. -Update Schedule: 2 chapters every week (Tue & Fri) at 2:33 PM (EST) -This is a long, slow-burn story; payoffs won't be immediate, but they will be satisfactory -The cover art was drawn . . . by me!
