Cradle of Imae

In the kingdom of Jinyeok, a land plagued by malevolent spirits, a boy named Ryujin is born. Shortly after his arrival, a wandering exorcist observes the child and leaves behind a cryptic warning: beware of fire. Despite this ominous prophecy, Ryujin grows up only to watch evil spirits systematically strip away everything he loves. When his home is ultimately consumed by flames, the same exorcist reappears and directs him toward the Exorcism Academy—a place where he can finally learn to fight the demons responsible for his suffering. Setting out on this desperate journey, Ryujin unexpectedly crosses paths with a mysterious figure known as Imae. This chance encounter proves to be far more than a simple meeting along the road. From that moment forward, their bodies and souls become inextricably bound together. For Ryujin, Imae is not merely a companion but an intense, unrelenting fate—one that will shape his path through a world overrun by darkness.
