By 2030, rules and regulations on the usage of magic has been set in place by the government to ensure the safety of the general populations. Even with the strict rules and measures in place, Detective Kim Hyun Ook was stumped with his latest criminal investigation. Several criminals has been murdered with forbidden and restrictive magic, and the authority has not been able to determine or find any leads that could help to catch the perpetrator. The only clue that they had from eye witnesses’ interviews was that the perpetrator wears a crimson robe. To make the matter worst, the crimson robe has gained popularity with the public for he has “helped” rid the city of criminals. Detective Kim vowed to catch the crimson robe and bring him to justice.
PERSONAL NOTE: The art takes some time to get used to, and the story goes beyond just catching crimson robe. It leads to a bigger conspiracy as the story progress. There’s a lot of death in this webtoon and it’s plot driven = text heavy, but there’s also humor to lighten the mood.
