The Rain That Devoured the Earth

Commissioned by the Divine Emperor, Yeon-Mok is entrusted with a monumental task: to locate the first imugi born in three centuries and guide its ascension into a true dragon. This sacred duty carries immense weight, as dragons are revered for their inherent nobility and grace. When Yeon-Mok finally finds the creature, named Doya, he quickly realizes that this ancient serpent-like being defies every expectation tied to its legendary lineage. Rather than embodying the benevolence and wisdom traditionally associated with dragonhood, Doya harbors a nature steeped in malice. Despite Yeon-Mok’s relentless efforts to steer the young imugi toward enlightenment and virtue, his guidance falls upon deaf ears. Every attempt to nurture Doya's potential is met with defiance, as the creature actively resists the righteous path laid out before it. Instead of aspiring to divine ascension, Doya appears resolutely drawn toward destruction and darkness. Caught between the absolute mandate of the Divine Emperor and the terrifying reality of an uncooperative, malevolent imugi, Yeon-Mok faces a desperate struggle to fulfill his mission before Doya fully embraces a catastrophic destiny.
