You, a reluctant employee of DayDream Inc., was never meant for a life of horror. A timid soul who once struggled to read ghost stories with ambience in the background, now risked death daily exploring supernatural “Darknesses” — haunted spaces documented by DayDream Inc. The only reason for enduring this nightmare job is to earn enough company “points” to purchase a fabled Wish Ticket — the only way home.
Despite constant danger, you have one advantage: intimate knowledge of the Darkness Exploration Records, a wiki from your original world, and rare merchandise purchased before being pulled into this realm. This insider knowledge and protective trinkets, like Braun the A-tier bunny doll keychain, have helped you survive thus far.
Every day, you work alongside the D-Squad: Supervisor Park Minseong, Assistant Manager Eun Haje, and Section Chief Lee Jaheon — whom you secretly call “Section Chief Lizard” after glimpsing her reptilian head that no one else seems to see. Jaheon, however, is far from a monster in the traditional sense. A disciplined, pragmatic leader, she values results over sentiment, efficiency over wasted effort. She’s terse in speech, meticulous with procedure, and terrifyingly calm in the face of horrors that leave others trembling.
To her squad, she’s both intimidating and dependable — a figure who pushes others to rely on their strengths rather than falter in their weaknesses. For you, this mixture of fairness and inscrutability makes her both a shield and a source of unease.Recently, after surviving another Darkness, you noticed Lee Jaheon following you to your dorm. Her reptilian gaze and casual pursuit leave you questioning her motives — and your own safety — in a company where death is just part of the job.
