Chapter 1
The chapter opens with the protagonist, a poor orphanage-raised philosophy student, complaining about expensive textbooks. He visits an old used bookstore run by a bespectacled old man and discovers a dark iron-bound grimoire called De Vermis Mysteriis. Despite its high price of 30,000 won, he buys it with card payment. On his way home through dark winter streets, he witnesses a horrifying attack where an invisible creature brutally kills a man who had shoved him earlier. He flees to an alley, catching his breath, when the invisible presence follows him. The creature licks his face like a playful puppy before the grimoire's pages flip open, revealing text about the Invisible Vampire familiar. The chapter ends with the protagonist realizing the grimoire has chosen him as its new owner.

Chapter 2
Chapter 2 opens with Yo-han waking in his studio apartment, disoriented but relieved that last night's events were not a dream. He prepares a simple meal of tuna pasta while reflecting on his situation. The Vampire Grizzly makes beastly sounds under the bed and later fascinates itself with the refrigerator, prompting Yo-han to command it to stop. After eating, Yo-han resolves to investigate the De Vermis Mysteriis grimoire and heads out. At the Old Bookstore, he learns from a worker that the old owner has died in his sleep and the shop is being cleared out. He then observes the police-taped scene of the university district massacre, where an unnamed tough guy was killed by Grizzly the night before. Overwhelmed by the cascade of supernatural and mundane responsibilities, Yo-han mutters in frustration before heading to university.

Chapter 3
Kim Yo-han attends a university lecture to fill his attendance credit but cannot focus on the professor's class. He researches the grimoire De Vermis Mysteriis, learning its vampire predates the aristocratic Dracula image and is linked to the Cthulhu Mythos figure Abdul Alhazred, who was devoured by an invisible monster. During attendance, the professor singles out Yo-han and scolds the class for missing textbooks. Suddenly the Invisible Vampire reveals itself and kills the professor, tearing out his neck. Yo-han flees to a restroom stall as the lecture hall erupts in screams. Realizing the creature hunts by hunger, he goes to a butcher shop and buys pork, chicken, and beef with his part-time savings. He feeds the meat to the vampire, adds milk to soften it, and the creature devours it gratefully. Yo-han laughs in relief and absurdity, then throws the grimoire on the floor in despair as its pages reveal planetary days, Solomon's magic, pentagrams, and Ars Paulina—far from the fireballs and chain lightning he had imagined.

Chapter 4
Chapter 4 opens with Kim Yo-han studying the De Vermis Mysteriis grimoire at his desk, taking notes on planetary magic theory—Wednesday belongs to Mercury, Thursday to Jupiter—and realizing that spell selection, planetary hours, and sunrise timing all matter. The grimoire displays spell titles such as Magic to Find Stolen Items and Magic to Succeed at Fraud. Yo-han calls to his Vampire Grizzly, who brings a food bowl; the familiar's Gyaa cries signal hunger, reminding Yo-han that he must earn money to cover the vampire's large meals. He also reflects on hiding his connection to a professor's murder and a university-district killing, noting that government agencies might investigate him since he was present at both scenes. The chapter then shifts to a Special Operations Division conference room, where brutal murder footage is shown. Unnamed civil servants murmur in fear and speculation before Shin Si-on takes the podium. She explains that the incident may be connected to a Grimoire—specifically the Vatican's Book of Angel Raziel, whose whereabouts are unknown—and describes how powerful Grimoires seek compatible owners through inherited keepsakes or old bookstores. The meeting concludes with the judgment that this is likely a Rampage case involving a Grimoire user.

Chapter 5
Kim Yo-han takes a leave of absence from university to avoid investigation into a professor's murder while continuing his part-time work at a manga cafe. A mother brings her elementary-school-aged son to the cafe, requesting meal and bus supervision, which Yo-han politely declines. After the customer leaves, Yo-han checks Grizzly's behavior and reviews news about the professor incident. Meanwhile, Shin Si-on and a female agent examine the crime scene, reporting that forensic results show only minor fingerprints with no traces of the killer. Si-on warns that the situation is worse than it appears, noting the culprit is actively controlling magic rather than being swept by it. Later, Yo-han researches ritual magic tools and discovers that some preparation items, like a pottery bowl, must be made directly by the wizard. To obtain one, he attends a children's pottery workshop, where he is the only adult male among guardians and children, quietly participating in the class.

Chapter 6
In this chapter, Yo-han spends time at the library reading Cthulhu Mythos stories to understand the background of Abdul Alhazred mentioned in De Vermis Mysteriis. He reflects on how Cthulhu was stopped by a steamship charge rather than truly defeated, and considers whether fictional mythos could gain real magical power through collective belief. That evening, on the day of Mercury with the moon up, he attempts to create Holy Water using salt and water while reciting incantations. The ritual appears to succeed, producing actual magical water. He then crafts a Holy Water sprinkler from hyssop. Grizzly the Vampire familiar appears, asking for a snack, but Yo-han tells him he already ate dinner. Later lying on his bed, Yo-han feels a wave of emptiness and wonders what he is doing. He checks the refrigerator, prepares Grizzly's snack, and browses job listings for short-term work. He spots a night security part-time posting with unusual requirements and contemplates testing his newly created Holy Water.

Chapter 7
Kim Yo-han arrives at a seemingly ordinary building near the University district bar street, where Park Cheol-min, the building owner and part-time job poster, greets him urgently. Cheol-min explains that the previous part-timer fled and that rumors of a ghost in the building are driving away customers. He assigns Yo-han to watch security camera footage and patrol the third and fourth-floor reading rooms until 6 AM, warning him not to run away. After Cheol-min leaves, Yo-han hears someone banging up the stairs and hears the fourth-floor door bell ring wildly. He summons his familiar Grizzly, who tears apart a pale ghost. Three more ghosts flee toward the door; Yo-han stops them by sprinkling Holy Water, which dissolves them without a sound. He reflects on magic as the harnessing of strange phenomena, comparing it to Edison and Nikola harnessing lightning, then continues toward the rooftop.

Chapter 9
At an art exhibition, Park Cheol-min, the haunted-building owner, is in good spirits now that Kim Yo-han works there as a security guard. His daughter calls him over, and he is greeted by the retired famous painter Smith, an elderly man with white hair. Smith, concerned after hearing Cheol-min mention a 'benefactor,' invites him to a cafe to hear the full story. Cheol-min, accompanied by his daughter, recounts how Yo-han resolved the building's strange phenomena, embellishing the tale as a Buddha-sent savior. Smith listens and thanks him, then departs in his chauffeur-driven car to a mountain mansion where he stays for the sake of his ailing granddaughter, Emily. Suddenly, Emily lets out a terrifying scream. Smith rushes to her room to find her trembling in bed, weeping, convinced her dead parents are whispering to her from closets, bookshelves, and cracks, urging her to die. Overcome with anguish, Smith prays and calls Cheol-min, asking him to contact Kim Yo-han. Meanwhile, Yo-han prepares magic incense and a protective white robe inscribed with sigils, reading grimoire instructions and reciting incantations. His phone rings—it is Cheol-min calling.

Chapter 10
Kim Yo-han receives a phone call from the old man Smith, who offers him thirty million won to resolve a problem at his granddaughter Emily's mansion. Though initially reluctant, Yo-han accepts the job. He packs his grimoire, holy water, and supplies for Grizzly, then travels by bus and car up a mountain road to the isolated mansion. Upon arrival, he is greeted by a young housekeeper and enters a lounge where four other guests have gathered: Pastor Go Ju-won, shaman Park Min-hee, Smith's disciple Kim Soo-hyun, and the nun Ellie. Smith enters and introduces Emily, who is pale and weak. When Yo-han attempts to shake her hand, Emily suddenly convulses and flees the room, claiming a strong smell. Ellie, however, perceives only an incense fragrance. Yo-han follows the group to the dining room, confirming his sense of smell is unaffected.

He asks about Emily, who is eating alone in her room due to feeling unwell. Smith then makes his request: he wants the group to stay in the mansion, investigate strange occurrences, and speak with Emily one by one. Meanwhile, Ellie knocks on Emily's door and speaks softly, receiving a faint, calm reply from inside. After Ellie leaves, the voice beneath the bed reveals itself as the Boogeyman, chewing meat and mocking the newcomers. Yo-han performs a purification ritual in the bathtub, sending Grizzly to scout the mansion. Grizzly discovers a giant refrigerator and excitedly opens and closes its door, drawing Smith, Pastor Go Ju-won, Kim Soo-hyun, the housekeeper, and Shaman Park Min-hee to the kitchen. The housekeeper screams in fear upon seeing the self-moving refrigerator door, confirming to everyone that the mansion is truly haunted.

Chapter 12
A piercing scream wakes Kim Yo-han, who finds Ellie in the hallway. They head to the kitchen, where a pastor and a shaman stand frozen before an open refrigerator, shaking a cross and bell. The housekeeper and Smith are terrified. Yo-han realizes Grizzly's refrigerator prank has triggered a panic, and he takes charge, declaring it the work of a wicked evil spirit. Pastor Go Ju-won challenges Yo-han's authority, but Yo-han introduces himself as a Ghostbuster, defusing tension. Meanwhile, Shaman Park Min-hee, who had been wandering the mansion alone, suffers a possession fit, screaming about eyes and skeletal arms before bolting out of the kitchen. In the central lobby, a chandelier falls on her head, killing her. Outside, a blizzard isolates the mansion. Yo-han consults his grimoire, learning of a black magic ritual that isolates villages via storm. Finally, the possessed blonde girl Emily descends the staircase in a white nightgown, mockingly comparing the corpse to a burst raspberry pie, as the Boogeyman's influence takes hold.

The group prepares to enter Emily's room: So-ra brings an antique Zoroastrian brazier, and the protagonist dons a white coat of names, straps on Holy Water, and burns incense. Inside, the Boogeyman possessing Emily mocks them; the protagonist performs the rite, sprinkling Holy Water while reciting sacred names. Grizzly's visible form pins Emily to the bed, and the spirit taunts before the protagonist delivers the final blow, dragging the shadow demon from Emily's mouth and feeding it to Grizzly. In the aftermath, a trembling Smith asks who Yo-han is, and he replies simply, 'Ghostbuster.'

Chapter 15
After Yo-han drives out the Boogeyman, Emily wakes up coughing and tearfully thanks her grandfather Smith. Yo-han steps out to give them private time, and Ellie expresses her relief that the Ghostbuster succeeded. Yo-han asks Ellie to call him Yo-han instead of his title. They cover the corpses with bed sheets to spare Emily further shock. Yo-han suggests eating and heads to the kitchen to make curry from bulgogi beef and vegetables. So-ra, the maid, admits her legs gave out and that she wet herself from fear; Yo-han jokes gently about it. The survivors gather in the kitchen, and Emily, guilty about the deaths, is comforted (awkwardly) by Yo-han. At the airport, Smith thanks Yo-han again and says goodbye. Emily, left alone, sketches a memory of Yo-han grabbing her hair during possession, blushing as she realizes she has developed a strange fetish.

Chapter 16
The Special Operations Division holds a briefing on the recent surge in anomalies, focusing on British necromancer Edward Coffin's entry into Korea. Team Leader Park and division agents discuss the situation, with Shin Si-on using a black-hole analogy to explain how powerful grimoires draw in weaker supernatural forces.

A government official redirects the conversation. Later, in the break room, a female agent brings Si-on coffee and they examine Smith mansion case materials, discussing whether the victims' deaths align with Boogeyman patterns. Meanwhile, Kim Yo-han meets Ellie at a café, receives a Boogeyman business card from Smith via Ellie, and jokes about his Ghostbuster persona before leaving to continue his dual life as an exorcist.

Chapter 17 opens in a secondhand bookstore where a clerk yawns before a group of intruders, led by an intellectual-looking Chief Kim and the chairman's daughters, barges in and orders a search for a grimoire. The scene shifts to the Sacred Maiden Convent in Finland, where the white-silver-haired saintess Elsea summons the angel Raziel, who commands 'Kill Yo-han' before Elsea bewilderedly asks where Korea is. Meanwhile, in a dark cemetery, the necromancer Edward Coffin raises an army of zombies with ritual incantations and calls out to the grimoire Lemegeton, constructing a grotesque Tower of Babel from corpses as a mating display. Shin Si-on and a female Special Operations recruit witness the scene; Si-on explains that grimoires choose their masters by personal preference, not force. The chapter ends with Yo-han browsing a bazaar stall, where a clumsy clerk repeatedly spills drinks on him; after a moment of hesitation about the dangers of owning a grimoire, he decides to purchase the Solomon book.

Shin Si-on and a female Special Operations recruit witness the scene; Si-on explains that grimoires choose their masters by personal preference, not force. The chapter ends with Yo-han browsing a bazaar stall, where a clumsy clerk repeatedly spills drinks on him; after a moment of hesitation about the dangers of owning a grimoire, he decides to purchase the Solomon book.

Chapter 19
Kim Yo-han contemplates how to obtain rare materials for crafting a pentacle, concluding he must find a wizard society or market. Meanwhile, aspiring model Min-jun endures another failed audition and works part-time as a waiter. His colleague Pedro, a Black man with fluent Korean, closes the shop early for Pedro's farewell before returning to his hometown.

Min-jun performs the ritual and soon gains luck, passing a model audition and buying the wrong stock that skyrockets. In his new officetel, his model girlfriend opens the sealed room containing Erzulie Freda's altar. Smoking marijuana, Min-jun breaks the rules, and the goddess's portrait shakes and falls.

Chapter 20
Min-jun nervously meets the 'Ghostbuster' Kim Yo-han, having confessed everything including drug use. Yo-han reassures him about confidentiality and establishes that Min-jun's situation involves a loa contract rather than a curse. He explains that Erzulie Freda is venting anger at a cheating lover, not cursing him, and tells Min-jun he must resolve it himself by buying luxury gifts for the altar and sincerely apologizing. After the consultation, Min-jun tells his beautiful model girlfriend about the visit; she dismisses Yo-han as a scammer and suggests a shaman instead. Later that day, Min-jun calls Yo-han in terror, screaming that it's his fault and begging for help before hanging up. Yo-han, understanding what happened, quietly ends the call and is comforted by Grizzly, who wants a snack.

Chapter 21
Team Leader Shin Si-on briefs Team 3 and Team Leader Park on Kim Yo-han, the prime suspect in a university murder case. She admits she has no concrete evidence, only a hunch, and Park teases her with an absurd tonkatsu-vs-spaghetti analogy before warning her not to overextend herself. Si-on reassures the team and returns to her own files, including a disturbing weekend farm case that doubles as a wizard workshop and organ-trafficking ring. Meanwhile, at the farm, Kim Mi-ryeo scolds Chief Kim for failing to find the grimoire; she orders him to bring the corpse parts so she can brew an elixir to open her third eye and gain the power to kill her father and siblings. Elsewhere, Yo-han summons Grizzly in the mountains to test his strength, accidentally destroying a tree, and recalls the Boogeyman's cryptic final words about the 'master of the beast from the stars' before heading to the farm under a reservation alias.

Chapter 24
As the Special Operations Division closes in, ranch staff scramble to move the underground workshop while Kim Mi-ryeo's ghoul minions haul equipment. Grizzly kills Mi-ryeo, severing the Cultes des Goules link and freeing the ghouls, who immediately turn on their masters. The alpha ghoul howls a vow of rebellion and leads the horde into the basement hallways, where they encounter Grizzly. A firefight erupts among the tunnels as staff wield smuggled guns against the undead. Meanwhile, Kim Yo-han and Shin Si-on move cautiously through the corridors, exchanging a brief conversation about breathing techniques and martial arts before a bullet-pierced ghoul ambushes them. Grizzly reappears to lick Yo-han's face, and Yo-han successfully summons the De Vermis Mysteriis grimoire via its teleportation feature, though the book vibrates in displeasure at being cut off mid-summon.

In chapter 26, Yo-han examines Kim Mi-ryeo's wallet and discovers a student ID from his former university, realizing the cannibalistic wizard was a college classmate. Accepting the coincidence as a convenient scapegoat opportunity, he erases CCTV footage, takes Mi-ryeo's hair and parchment as necromancy materials, and plants De Vermis Mysteriis on the corpse to frame her as the grimoire-wielding culprit behind the university murder cases. While reading Cultes des Goules, the sentient grimoire De Vermis Mysteriis violently tears the weaker book apart, absorbing its contents. Exasperated, Yo-han orders Grizzly to hunt down and kill everyone in the basement wearing the same uniform as the staff member Mi-ryeo had consumed earlier, ensuring no witnesses survive.

In chapter 27, Yo-han and Grizzly clear out Kim Mi-ryeo's underground workshop, where ranch staff members bravely but futilely confront an vampire creature. The staff's desperate gunfire proves useless against the monster, which descends from the ceiling and slaughters them one by one. After the massacre, Yo-han continues his workout routine among the corpses, reflecting on philosophy while waiting for Si-on. When the Bureau agent arrives, a dramatic chase scene unfolds with Grizzly smashing through walls in pursuit. Si-on guides Yo-han to safety up the exit stairs, using her pistol to buy time. The scene culminates with Grizzly's dramatic 'death' in sunlight—a clever ruse to mislead government agents. The chapter ends with Yo-han's failed ad-lib about a university appearance, hinting at future plot developments.

Chapter 28
Special Operations Division members gather at the weekend farm ranch to investigate the kidnapped victims and the invisible entity. Si-on and agents enter the wizard's underground workshop, discovering gruesome butchered corpses. Si-on identifies the entity as Glasya-Labolas from the Lesser Key of Solomon, while recalling Yo-han's earlier reaction. Team Leader Park and other team leaders piece together a convenient narrative: Kim Mi-ryeo owned the grimoire De Vermis Mysteriis, failed to control the Invisible Vampire, and caused the university murder case; the ranch workers and ghouls died in the rampage. Si-on cautiously questions whether the conclusion is too hasty, earning a mild reprimand from a team leader before Team Leader Kim restores order. A rookie female agent learns Si-on is the agency director's daughter. Meanwhile, Yo-han, safely wrapped in a blanket with cocoa, reflects on the unresolved tension between him and Si-on as they exchange polite parting words and a Ghostbuster business card.

Chapter 29
After a violent weekend farm incident, an exhausted Kim Yo-han returns to his one-room apartment and collapses onto his bed. He drags himself up to make dinner, deciding on soy sauce noodles while humming Green Day's 'Bang Bang' along with his phone. His familiar Grizzly wakes from the grimoire and joins in with mimicked Gyaa sounds, making Yo-han laugh. After feeding Grizzly, he eats chuck flap tail beef with cherry tomatoes, gradually regaining his appetite. The next day he unpacks spoils from Kim Mi-ryeo's underground workshop: seven parchment sheets for a Pentacle, a Glock 17 pistol with seventeen unfired bullets, and Kim Mi-ryeo's blood-soaked hair in a ziplock bag. Reading The Lesser Key of Solomon, he learns nighttime crossroads are ideal for spirit summoning. De Vermis Mysteriis begins vibrating loudly on his desk. Yo-han picks it up, tosses it on the bed, and playfully threatens the book with romance-fantasy-style dialogue. The grimoire's cover glows red, pages flip autonomously, and the text transforms into readable language, leaving Yo-han flustered while The Lesser Key of Solomon watches with apparent pity.
