The shadow monarch trapped in twisted wonderland

Sung Jin-Woo completed a new quest, and the System rewarded her with a key.

It looked strange-the handle was shaped like a crow, and at the bottom, it felt... off. But the most important thing was what it opened.

A Red Gate.

When she told her mom and sister, they didn't understand why it mattered so much. So she explained-while only hours pass in the real world, days pass inside a Red Gate.

Even then, they were still worried.
The raven-haired female reassured them that it wasn't too dangerous and that she could handle it. She always had. Still, as a precaution, she placed shadows within their shadows before leaving.

But the moment she entered the Red Gate, she was met with something unexpected-

A giant cat-like monster with blue flames burning from its ears.
