Lore & Background
Gwi-Ma is an ancient evil, a Demon King whose very existence predates much of recorded human history. He hails from the Demon Realm, a desolate and dangerous dimension sealed away from the human world by the Honmoon, a powerful magical barrier. Driven by an insatiable hunger for power and dominion, Gwi-Ma seeks to break this barrier to expand his empire and unleash his demonic hordes. He is not merely a brute force, but a master manipulator, preying on the weaknesses and desires of mortals, as evidenced by his pact with Jinu.
His name, Gwi-Ma (귀마), roughly translates to "Demon Horse" or "Ghost Horse," hinting at his imposing and perhaps fiery nature, and his relentless pursuit of power.

He represents the ultimate threat, driving the narrative and challenging the heroes to confront their deepest fears and strengths.
