Eunjae’s been losing sleep from some decidedly disturbing dreams: some kind of otherworldly being keeps having its way with him in the middle of the night. His days are filled with strange coincidences and hours of his day just seem to disappear... Then one night, a man in a strange mask saves him from being hit by a bus. Turns out the strange man isn’t a man at all, but a goblin. It isn’t long before Eunjae’s forced to accept that according to the world of the afterlife, he’s dead. And there’s only one being now that can protect his body and soul from slipping away: San, the goblin.
really interesting unique supernatural fantasy mystery plot set in modern world. fleshed out interesting characters, worldbuilding, mystery, good art with unique character designs
eunjae is being preyed on? by some mystery monster called hwan?, is a webtoon artist who's lost inspiration, loves his dog who died, has depression - traumatic past?, san is told by geumsun to specifically kill? the ghost targeting him for some reason but instead san ends up saving him but his death gets put on the official death record (though he's alive) so now san has to stay with him to protect him from ghosts that would try to take over him since his soul and body are now looser from each other/it's now easy for him to die and have his soul knocked out and become a ghost
san - goblin, good/sweet, fan of eunjae's webtoon, goblins need to feed on yang energy from humans regularly (get it best through fluids/sex) but he doesn't force eunjae (consent!) - otherwise can only get yang energy from illegal pills made from reaper blood, mystery past as he lost his memory 20 years ago (704, geumsun, and yama know why but won't tell him and 704 seems guilty about it) (doesn't know reason for his name or symbols on him though goblin names are tied to important object of power for them?), used to live with geumsun since g had to transfer energy to him after accident - s doesn't crave yang energy though goblins are supposed to, and is now scared to go out by himself/lonely
704 - reaper, very protective? of san for some reason, complicated relationship with geumsun - reluctantly gives his body for sex/yin energy to g to get illegal pills for san / other reasons?
geumsun = another goblin, was pretending to be human coworker to eunjae from before for some reason, complicated relationship with 704 - makes 704 wear his reaper blindfold when they have sex and seems to dislike him? but maybe secretly opposite?/possessive over 704, mysterious motivations, also seemed to have made mysterious deal with yama even though he hates him regarding eunjae's death record/that ghost that possessed him
yama - king of underworld, also mysterious motivations
