Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days (2018)
Unveiling millennium-old secrets.
As the deceased soul Ja-hong and his three afterlife guardians prepare for their remaining trials for reincarnation, the guardians soon come face to face with the truth of their tragic time on Earth 1,000 years earlier.
In Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “afterlife bureaucracy”. The story fights on E8/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing authority, justice, faith, mortality.
