Among the Hidden Gods
Jin Pak was a young man living in the underbelly of Seoul, burdened by the debts of parents long gone and trapped in a life of struggle. Forced to drop out of school and work three dead-end jobs, Jin’s world is one of constant survival. But when an ancient door that has haunted his dreams for years finally opens, his life shatters completely.
Transported to a dark, twisted parallel world, Jin awakens in the blood-soaked ruins of a massacre, taking the place of a man named Leonard. Surrounded by death and strange, occult forces, he is thrust into a battle between secret societies, each with their own hidden agendas. Some seek power, others vengeance, and some wish to bring about the end of the world.
In a world where magic, forgotten gods, and cursed artifacts rule, Jin is no hero. He is a pawn, a man with no purpose—yet a dangerous power lies dormant within him, a skill not seen for over 2,000 years. As Jin struggles to uncover the mysteries surrounding his transmigration, the secrets of this world begin to unravel, revealing forces far greater than anything he could ever comprehend.
Haunted by a strange goddess and pursued by shadowy forces, Jin must navigate this dark realm and uncover the truth behind his mysterious arrival. With enemies on all sides, he’ll have to decide whether to accept his fate or forge his own path among the hidden gods who rule this cursed world.
Will Jin survive the game of shadows? Or will he be swallowed whole by the secrets that lurk beneath the surface?
