Modern Era Witch
"Are you some emo action figure or what?"
That was the first thing Park Joon-Ho said to her—with a bleeding lip and a confused expression that refused to fade, even as death hovered over his shoulder.
In an era where the veil between the living and the dead has worn thin, ghosts roam freely beside humanity. To maintain balance, elite sorcerers known as the Divine Wardens rise—guardians trained in sacred arts to trap, cleanse, or banish wandering spirits. Among them is Hwang Minhee, silent and sharp-eyed, cloaked in midnight threads, her power pulsing just beneath the surface.
When Park Joon-Ho—a brash and arrogant businessman drunk on his own success—accidentally crosses paths with a vengeful spirit, fate delivers him into Minhee’s path. She saves him. But at a cost.
Joon-Ho dies… and yet, does not vanish. Something ancient awakens within him. In the moment his soul brushes against Minhee’s power, he absorbs a fragment of her magic—a rare, forbidden bond formed in the crucible of death. Now partially bound to her, he becomes a beacon for hostile spirits—marked, hunted, feared.
Worse still, Minhee cannot reclaim her full strength without him. Her spells are only at their peak when he stands by her side, and so the cold, disciplined Warden must tether herself to the chaotic man she never asked for.
They are mismatched, misaligned, and impossibly bound by fate.
And the world?
It’s spiraling into chaos.
This story is no mere tale of spirits—it’s a collision of power, pride, and something that might just become love, forged in blood and bound by magic.
Yes... this tale just keeps getting better and better.
