Jeok‑un Mountain Pass is a front‑line border zone between the demon race and the interspecies Federation—a strategic strongpoint where training and real combat happen simultaneously. The Federation military, following prophecies from an ancient scripture, is searching for the foretold “Ten Transcendents” who will help reclaim lost territory, so conscription and selection processes are in constant operation. However, what the recruits discover is that something even more terrifying than war with the demons awaits them: the absurdity and brutal hazing of military life itself. This is a dark fantasy story about surviving not just monsters, but the suffocating reality of military culture in a fantasy world.
