    Summary

    “A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" Pointless, really..."Do the stars gaze back?" Now, that's a question.” ― Neil Gaiman

    Jongseong and Sunoo are street rats from the lowest rings of King’s Ground. That is all they have known. No stories of the Promised Land or the magic beyond the forest can make them dream of a better life.

    When Sunoo falls ill from the plague, Jongseong must find a way across to the forest to deliver the only thing that can cure all malady for his brother:

    Summary

    Impediment: A hindrance or obstruction in doing something

    Every soul who enters the Ground has an Impediment, or something that hinders them from reaching the afterlife. For most, it is relatively easy to receive the closure they need and move on to their final destination. For others, like Park Sunghoon, it's a bit harder than that. When he enters the Ground with no memories of his life or how he died, Sunghoon is unable to overcome his Impediment and becomes stuck in the Ground as a grim reaper, helping others passing through find peace. He has no hope of overcoming his fate until a certain soul comes along and turns the place upside down.

    While the residents of the Ground scramble to solve the mystery of how their paths are intertwined, there is more happening in the living world than what meets the eye...
