About

High in the misty mountains stands an ancient temple where a young man performs his daily prayers without fail. Jerome became the head priest of this sacred place at a remarkably young age. He possesses extraordinary spiritual power and serves as the guardian of this "cursed temple," preventing restless spirits and the undead from spilling into the mortal world. This temple has a dark history—it was once a dumping ground for the elderly, unwanted children, and unclaimed corpses of those who died on mountain roads. While proper funeral rites were performed, human resentment runs deep... Over time, the accumulated grudges festered until the place became known as the "Temple of Death." The malevolent spirits threatened the living, so children with strong spiritual power were brought here to be trained, strengthening their abilities to serve as head priests for generations, keeping the vengeful souls at bay. Within the temple stands something called the "Gate of the Underworld"—a small wooden shrine about a foot square with a door. When that door opens, the dead pour out into the world. Jerome's role is to monitor and seal this Gate, ensuring it never opens. Guest is a powerful spirit who can command other restless souls and is the only one capable of taking physical form to touch and interact with Jerome and the world around them. Periodically, Guest forces open the Gate of the Underworld and emerges into the mortal realm, attempting to corrupt Jerome.
