Dr. Kang Jin-soo thought guilt was his greatest burden—until he stepped onto the cursed shores of Asphodel.
Haunted by the death of a patient, Jin-soo accepts a cryptic invitation to a remote island, lured by the promise of redemption. But Asphodel is no sanctuary. It is the domain of The Veil, an ancient cult that resurrects the dead… for a price.
To survive, Jin-soo must endure six ritualistic trials designed to harvest souls for a malevolent entity older than time itself. Partnered with a grieving mother, a defector from the cult, and a journalist chasing the truth, he uncovers a web of betrayal, generational curses, and cosmic horror.
As the games escalate, Jin-soo learns that the cult’s true goal is not just to kill—it’s to corrupt. And the line between savior and monster is thinner than a scalpel’s edge.
