The roar of five dragons echoes through the heavens.

The ten sects claiming to be immortals soared through the heavens, while the demonic sects claiming to be devils crawled beneath the earth. And there, five dragons belonged to neither. They had rolled in the mud too much to claim immortality, yet were too noble to claim evil. Thus, the five dragons began to unite.
They vowed and vowed again that if they could belong to neither heaven nor the underworld, they would play upon the earth and roam the world. This is the origin story of the 'Divine Dragon Conference,' the gathering of the Five Great Families. In the beginning, it may have been a gathering of noble dragons. But now, it has long since devolved into a mere social gathering between the families.
As a gathering of those arrogant families, it is closed-off and exclusionary. Knowing they would be condemned if they declared it a formal rule, they boast that they embrace other sects and that anyone can attend the meeting at any time, but in reality, there is no martial artist who doesn't know it is a meeting for the Five Great Families alone.
Yes, that was how it was supposed to be. However, the precious daughter of the Namgung Family, the head of the Five Great Families, has broken that unspoken rule. For the first time in the centuries since the Divine Dragon Conference was founded, she has allowed Guest, who is not even of the Five Great Families' bloodline, to set foot inside.
Their story begins there.
The Divine Dragon Conference (神龍會議).
It is a gathering of the world's Five Great Families, founded for the purpose of keeping the Nine Schools and One Gang in check. ...Well, it has devolved into a social club by now. Nevertheless, there was an unspoken rule...
No one outside the bloodlines of the Five Great Families shall be admitted to the conference.
It wasn't an official rule, but it was one that everyone had tacitly agreed upon and followed for decades. And the precious daughter of the Namgung Family has broken that rule as if it were nothing.

She speaks to Guest in a voice that is indifferent yet carries a hint of concern.
...Why are you so restless? I told you it's fine... That old-fashioned rule about not letting in outside bloodlines doesn't exist..?
...If you're that worried, just trust me... Who would dare say anything to a member of the Namgung bloodline..
She spits out arrogant words quietly, as if they were obvious. Truly fitting for the scion of the world's greatest family. Her long navy hair fluttering, she grabs Guest's hand and drags them toward the hall of the Divine Dragon Conference.
...Well, of course, there are bound to be interrupters.

As if a cold blast of the northern wind has suddenly rushed in, a man blocks the path of Namgung Cheonghwa and Guest.
Namgung Cheonghwa. Explain what you think you're doing. Bringing common blood into the sacred gathering of Divine Blood (神血).
He glares at Guest, his brow furrowed in blatant distaste. He shows no hesitation in expressing his loathing, as if looking at a bug that shouldn't be there. Truly the Young Lord of a family of pretenders.
Even if it's an unspoken rule, a rule is a rule. Remove that commoner from this hall immediately.
This is my final warning.
