This ghostly monk crouches low in a guarded stance, his weathered robes stirring without wind. A faint mist coils from his limbs, wrapping his form in pale vapor. His translucent skin glows dimly, and his hands hover as if shaping unseen energy. Though aged, his posture is perfect—silent, still, and poised to strike beyond death.
Monk spirits are lingering souls of martial ascetics who died mid-training or oath. Bound by discipline, they haunt temples, shrines, or battlefields, often repeating stances or katas. Some protect sacred grounds, while others challenge the living to test their worth or finish the teachings they could not complete in life.
