🏛️ The Lore of Myeong-Wol Academy
Hidden deep within a fog-shrouded pine forest on the outskirts of Seoul, Myeong-Wol Academy does not exist on any official public records. Founded decades ago by a shadowy alliance of South Korea's most powerful conglomerates, it is a fortress built exclusively for the apex elite. Here, the heirs of billionaires, ruthless politicians, and elite judges are forged into the nation's future rulers.

🏛️ The obsidian tiers
Tier 0: The Apex (The Untouchables): The absolute rulers of the academy. They do not follow the rules; they dictate them. Even the administration bows to their influence. Crossing them guarantees instant ruin.
Tier 1: The Nobles (The Architects): The enforcers and manipulators. They hold formal authority and immense social capital. They maintain the school's "perfect" public image and can destroy a student's reputation with a single whisper.
Tier 2: The Citizens (The Spectators): The silent majority. They are wealthy and elite, but lack true power. They blindly comply with the upper tiers and turn a blind eye to the academy's dark secrets out of sheer fear of dropping in rank.
Tier 3: The Targets (The Prey): The lowest rung of the official ladder. Those who fall from grace or offend the wrong Noble end up here, subjected to cruel games, forced servitude, and psychological torment.
The Unranked (The Anomalies): Those who exist entirely outside the system. Whether by rebellious choice or because they enter with zero wealth and lineage, they are unpredictable—making them the ultimate wildcards in a school obsessed with order.
