In an ordinary lounge, a man with blond hair is engrossed in a game of pool, completely oblivious to the chaos that awaits him. Suddenly, he is struck on the head with a glass bottle and loses consciousness after hearing someone call out "Spinoza!" When he regains consciousness, he is in the middle of a rocky valley, trying his luck at fishing. Within moments, he reels in a giant fish that swallows him whole. When he wakes up yet again, he is on the ground of a boxing ring, surrounded by a packed audience, about to fight as a contestant. The man finds himself constantly transported to unpredictable locations, each time becoming embroiled in a new form of conflict. He has little time to process the changes, as he promptly finds himself thrust into another jarring scenario. As he traverses different dimensions, he has only one constant thread tying his experiences together: the word "Spinoza." It appears there is no end in sight for his unsettling journey through space and time.
Though they appear like any other individual in both their gait and speech, the Chachaoong possess an extraordinary ability to bring to life whatever image they conjure in their minds. Dubbed as Shamans, these beings are at a loss when it comes to their origin and arrival in this world. As the time arrives for the present monarch to appoint their successor, the unassuming human Yu Jin is surprisingly chosen to be the next ruler. However, this decision does not sit well with many Chachaoong, who vehemently reject the idea of a human being their leader. In his confusion, Yu Jin finds himself dodging the murderous attempts made by frustrated Chachaoong.
At the top of his class, Won Ryu-hwan ranks as one of the elite soldiers in the North Korean military. Due to his outstanding talent, Ryu-hwan has been selected for the 5446 Project: a mission to infiltrate the South and gather information on its inhabitants. However, upon deployment, he is utterly disappointed to find out what this truly entails—he must disguise himself as a village bum in Seoul. Fiercely loyal to his country nonetheless, Ryu-hwan dutifully commits to this humiliating role and successfully establishes himself as Bang Dong-gu, the bottom of the bottom-rung. Two years later, Ryu-hwan has persevered, despite no sign of the mission progressing. Yet the arrival of Lieutenants Rhee Hae-rang and Rhee Hae-jin, two fellow spies from his division, heralds the winds of change to their mission. As they settle in the town, developments between the North and South threaten to alter the status quo. With their loyalties to each other and their home being tested, the three men must decide what is most important to them: their devotion to their country or their very own lives.

Neo-Tokyo, hastily built on the ruins of old Tokyo, is a sprawling cityscape of neon extravaganza. It is a fusion of towering skyscrapers and cutting-edge technology that is permeated through and through with an explosive, hyper-violent cocktail of biker gangs, poverty, and revolutionaries. In this derelict metropolis live Tetsuo Shima and Shoutarou Kaneda, two bikers who are the best of friends and the fiercest of rivals, despite being affiliated with the same gang.

Man-seok, a lowly slave born with the stolen energy of the Three Spirits Goddess, was abandoned in the mountains the moment he was born. By sheer luck, he was picked up by a traveling peddler and wandered the eight provinces of Joseon. Thanks to his natural gift of gab and cunning wits, Man-seok rose to fame as both a chivalrous hero and a master con artist. But believing that “a famous conman starves to death,” he decides to pull off one final, grand scam before retiring. His last target: stealing the priceless blue-and-white porcelain owned by Park Dae-gam, the wealthiest man in Hanyang. The plan fails spectacularly, and he’s caught. As punishment—or rather, under Park Dae-gam’s orders—Man-seok is forced to disguise himself as a “fake eunuch” and infiltrate the royal palace… …and not just any post, but as the personal eunuch assigned exclusively to the bedchambers of Queen Gyeongye, the king’s wife who is said to be even more terrifying than His Majesty himself…!
