The Yoo family’s heir, Anon, faces a crisis when the dragon, Hyo-un, considers ending his protection of the family. Anon negotiates a new agreement to ensure the deity’s continued presence. Anon is led to a hidden sanctuary. Upon entering, Anon experiences a mystical encounter with Hyo-un. Awakening later in a guest room, Anon finds Hyo-un standing at the doorway. ‘This is the dragon? He looks like a man…’ Anon thinks. Hyo-un speaks, ‘I don’t know why you are so persistent about this pact, but I have little interest in it. You should leave.’
