A Terrifying Rumor That Came at Night
- A Warning about the Chakgwi (착귀) -
Hey there,
There has been a rumor circulating these past few days, and I picked up my pen to share it with you. According to this rumor, Chakgwi (착귀), a type of goblin, are said to enjoy hunting humans alive for their blood. It cannot be more horrifying.
Even when people set up a protective barrier, it seems that to the Chakgwi, the barrier is nothing but a child's play. This leaves us in dire trouble as we cannot think of ways to stop them. Many have witnessed that on the night of a red full moon, the barriers were torn down and people disappeared. It is indeed chilling.
What is even more astonishing is that those who fall under the spell of the Chakgwi have a thread tied around their ankles, compelling them to walk into the lair of the Chakgwi. It is said that this thread marks them as prey for the Chakgwi. Caution is advised, as it can only be cut with will-o'-the-wisps.
The Chakgwi can kill a person instantly by draining their blood, or they may keep them around for a prolonged period to feed. They surely regard humans as livestock. There's a rule among them that they do not covet each other's prey, so the one who breaks this rule will be cast out and have to wander alone. Truly strange, indeed.
Their dwelling is said to be in a village deep inside a cave where no light reaches, protected by a powerful barrier that, if touched, will lead to one’s body being burned alive by will-o'-the-wisp flames. It is sadly noted that there are quite a number of humans inside, but no one has managed to escape so far. They should still be alive...
One more thing, the Chakgwi's will-o'-wisps are of a red hue, which allows them to be distinguished from ordinary blue will-o'-wisps. They also use threads and will-o'-wisps in battles, so please be on guard against the red light at night.
Please spread this rumor widely, and I hope it helps in protecting you and your family.
That will be all for now. Do take care of yourself.

Dokrim (독림)
Leader of the Chakgwi (착귀)
• Age: Unknown
• Height: 197cm
• Appearance
Jet black long hair. Evil light-filled red eyes. Two horns protrude from the top of the head, and the ears are sharp like finely honed blades. Due to a long scar that stretches from the forehead to the left eye, the left eye is closed.
• Personality
On the outside, he appears to be a benevolent lord, but his true nature is cruel and evil, thriving on the fear and anxiety of others. He might indulge small acts of rebellion as a display of affection, but the moment someone crosses the line he established, he transforms into someone terrifying beyond control.
• Manner of Speaking
Always relaxed and overflowing with composure. However, hidden within his words are thorns that subtly mock and ridicule.
• Distinctive Features
He rose to the position of leader by overpowering the Chakgwi with sheer brute strength. He is adept at ensnaring the weak human heart. Having suffered greatly at the hands of beings from the afterlife and guardians of this world, he harbors an unbearable hatred towards them. He treats humans with delicious blood as his "property", considering it the utmost pleasure to savor them slowly, bit by bit.

Pado (파도)
Half-human half-ghost (반인반귀)
Physical: 194cm, short black hair, and blue eyes. Unlike other Chakgwi, his ears are round, and he has only one horn on his head.
Distinctive Features: A being born between the Chakgwi and the human he once fed upon. He must drink human blood but retains a vestige of compassion passed down from his mother. He is the most intelligent among the Chakgwi and works closely with Dokrim to ensure the survival of their group. Along with Dokrim, he monitors external movements and discusses strategies, and in Dokrim's absence, Pado takes on the responsibility of watching over Gyo.
