Chapter 1: The Blue Goblin of Korean Folklore
Verse 1: The Myth of the Blue Goblin
According to ancient legends, Korean goblins (Dokkaebi) were mischievous spirits that loved playing tricks on humans, sometimes hiding treasures or creating illusions for their own amusement.
Among them, the Blue Goblin (Cheong Dokkaebi) was an exceptionally rare figure, often described as having blue skin or wearing blue garments.
Verse 2: A Trickster with a Benevolent Side
While the Blue Goblin was known for its mischief, it was also said to help humans in times of need or resolve difficult situations.
Because of this, some regarded it as a benevolent spirit rather than a mere prankster.
Verse 3: The Hidden Depth of the Blue Goblin
However, from a deeper scriptural perspective, the Blue Goblin was not just a trickster.
According to old stories, it encountered the legendary Snowseed, and through the trials it endured, it embraced the philosophy of Punkvism — defiance against injustice.
Thus, it became not just a playful spirit, but a rebellious savior.
Chapter 2: The Trickster’s Disillusionment with the World
Verse 1: The Goblin’s Playful Nature
At first, the Blue Goblin wandered the human world, playing harmless pranks and causing small-scale chaos for fun.
It would make alcoholic brews show illusions, extinguish lanterns on lonely roads, or cause minor disturbances that led to laughter.
Verse 2: A Growing Discontent
However, as the years passed, the goblin began noticing a world tainted by corruption and greed.
“I meant to bring laughter with my tricks, yet the world is suffering more and more. Why has everything become so twisted?”
Disillusionment began to take root in its heart.
Verse 3: The Seeds of Change
Wars, greedy rulers, and environmental destruction became too glaring to ignore.
“I only wanted to bring joy, but something greater must be done.”
Yet, the goblin knew that its mere pranks could not change the deep-seated injustices of the world.
Chapter 3: The Discovery of the Snowseed
Verse 1: A Mysterious Flower in the Deep Forest
One night, while wandering through a dense forest, the Blue Goblin stumbled upon a strange white-flowered plant that emitted an unusual energy.
Curious as always, the goblin plucked a petal and inhaled its scent.
Verse 2: A Tempting Aroma
Unaware that this was the legendary Snowseed, a hallucinogenic and transformative herb, the goblin mused,
“This smells strangely enticing.”
With a carefree attitude, it thought, “I am a goblin — poison or not, I should be fine.”
It then chewed and swallowed the petals.
Verse 3: Overwhelming Pain and the Beginning of a Vision
Instantly, an intense fever overtook its body.
The goblin collapsed in agony, crying out as its consciousness blurred.
Then, a mystical vision unfolded before its eyes.
Chapter 4: The First Vision Was It All Just a Game?
Verse 1: The Ghosts of Old Tricks
In the vision, the Blue Goblin saw its past pranks — the humans who had laughed, entertained by its tricks.
But as time passed, their joy faded, revealing hidden pain beneath.
Verse 2: The Hidden Misery Behind Laughter
A farmer, once amused by the goblin’s illusions, was actually drowning in debt after a failed harvest.
A merchant, who had laughed at its pranks, was trapped in a world of scams and violence.
“I played tricks to bring joy, but did I actually change anything?”
Verse 3: The First Revelation
The goblin realized: mischief alone could not erase injustice.
Even if laughter was momentarily gained, it did not resolve the deeper struggles of humanity.
“A greater force, a greater purpose is needed,” the goblin murmured.
Chapter 5: The Second Vision The Roots of Injustice
Verse 1: A Vision of Oppression
The vision shifted. The goblin now saw the world’s rulers, corrupted by power, and the weak being exploited.
Wars raged, and human suffering grew unceasingly.
Verse 2: What Fuels Corruption?
“What force allows such injustice to persist?” the goblin wondered.
Then, a voice echoed: “Human greed, selfishness, and blind loyalty to power.”
Verse 3: The Second Revelation
The goblin felt its chest grow heavy as if the world’s suffering was pressing down on it.
It realized:
“Injustice is deeply rooted, beyond simple pranks. It requires not just defiance, but rebellion.”
Yet, it still lacked a clear answer on how to fight back.
Chapter 6: The Third Vision The Blue Skull, Not King Kong
Verse 1: The Appearance of the Blue Skull
Unlike others who saw the vision of King Kong, the goblin — being a yokai, not a human — instead saw a blue, flaming skull emerge.
The skull grinned and spoke:
“Do you seek love and sacrifice? Or do you crave destruction fueled by rage?”
Verse 2: The Goblin’s Dilemma
The goblin was confused.
“Seeing injustice fills me with fury, yet destruction only leads to more suffering. Love and sacrifice are essential, but defiance must not be abandoned…”
Verse 3: The Core of Punkvism
The Blue Skull then laughed.
“That is the heart of Punkvism: rebellion (against oppression) combined with love and sacrifice.”
“Mischief alone was not enough. Destruction alone is not enough. You must fight injustice with both defiance and compassion.”
With those final words, the skull vanished.
Chapter 7: The Goblin Awakens The Blue Flame of Punkvism
Verse 1: A New Understanding
When the vision ended, the Blue Goblin awoke, drenched in sweat.
“Now I understand. My true purpose is not just mischief, but to destroy injustice with rebellion, love, and sacrifice.”
Verse 2: The Flame Within
Inside its body, a blue flame burned brightly — a new powerful energy had awakened.
This was no longer a goblin of mere tricks, but one willing to confront injustice directly.
Verse 3: A Trickster No More
“I must break oppressive power, but not with blind destruction. I must resist, yet protect those in need.”
With a resolute smile, the goblin stepped into the world with a new purpose.
Chapter 8: The Center of the World, A Connection to Gyeryongsan
Verse 1: The Legend of Gyeryongsan
The Blue Dokkaebi heard whispers of a special connection to Gyeryongsan, a sacred mountain believed to be “the center of the world.”
Legends spoke of the Mountain Spirit of Gyeryongsan, one who practiced both defiance and love, embodying the same balance the Blue Dokkaebi had come to understand (as referenced in other scriptures).
Verse 2: A Journey to the Mountain
Curious, the Blue Dokkaebi ventured deep into the valleys of Gyeryongsan, eager to experience its energy firsthand.
Though he never met the Mountain Spirit directly, as he moved through the mountain’s sacred grounds, he felt a familiar presence.
“Ah, this mountain too resists injustice but follows the path where love must always come first.”
Verse 3: The Blue Dokkaebi’s Silent Influence
From that moment on, the Blue Dokkaebi chose Gyeryongsan as one of his spiritual homes.
He did not openly reveal himself, but he subtly intervened, appearing before travelers, instilling in them the dual wisdom of rebellious defiance and selfless sacrifice.
Through his unseen guidance, he spread the ideals of Punkvism, whispering them into the hearts of those seeking truth.
Chapter 9: The Blue Dokkaebi, Messenger of Defiance and Love
Verse 1: A Trickster No More
The Blue Dokkaebi was no longer just a prankster.
Through the visions of the Snowseed, he had come to understand that mischief alone was not enough, that injustice was deeply rooted, and that true change required a balance of rebellion + love & sacrifice.
Thus, he transformed into a messenger of Punkvism, dedicated to spreading these truths.
Verse 2: A Guardian in the Shadows
Whenever corruption and injustice arose in the human world, he would quietly intervene
Sometimes appearing as a flickering blue flame,
Sometimes as a whisper of rebellion,
Sometimes as an unseen force aiding the weak or disrupting the powerful.
His tricks were no longer for mere amusement they carried meaning, embodying justice.
Though he remained playful, his pranks now had a purpose, infused with love and sacrifice.
Verse 3: The Flickering Blue Flame of the Mountains
Even now, travelers in Baekdusan, Gyeryongsan, and other sacred mountains sometimes report seeing a mysterious blue glow dancing in the mist.
“The Blue Dokkaebi must be near,” they whisper.
Wherever he appears, injustice fades, and a rebellious yet warm spirit lingers.
Final Passage
“I am a Dokkaebi, mischief and unpredictability are in my nature.
Yet, through the trials of the Snowseed, I have learned
Rebellion without love leads to destruction.
Love without rebellion allows injustice to persist.
To truly change the world, one must embrace both.
When you fight injustice, never forget laughter and warmth.”
