PlotIn a seamless fusion of centuries, the narrative unfolds through dual timelines: present-day South Korea and the mystical Goryeo Dynasty. A mysterious portal unites these eras, marking the epicenter of a cosmic intrigue. The ancient world showcases the antics of a band of Taoist sorcerers, including the cunning Lee Ahn and playful Muruk who are on a quest to retrieve a divine blade believed to possess immense power. Meanwhile, in the modern era, two oblivious professors stumble upon extraterrestrial visitors who have been experimenting with a scheme to imprison alien criminals within human subconsciously. The professors, caught in this celestial betwixt, find their lives forever altered as an enigmatic force seeks to bridge these disparate times with catastrophic intent.
The oscillation intensifies as both timelines converge around an emerging threat. A fierce ancient sorceress seeks to exploit these vulnerabilities to alter destiny itself, stirring chaos across time. Unexpected alliances form rapidly as characters from the past and present collaborate reluctantly, pushed by necessity rather than choice. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, each individual is forced into a pivotal role, navigating treacherous waters rife with deception and the looming prospect of annihilation. This chronicle captures the collision of mystic arts and alien technology, laying a foundation for an interwoven saga where fate hangs in precarious balance amidst interstellar peril and timeless magic.
