—Urek Mazino
Founded by Urek Mazino and his friend Baek Ryun, Wolhaiksong (or The Winged Tree Under The Moon in English) is an organization created out of the desire to find a way to break out of the Tower and, while not much is known about the organization, it appears as though they have a large number of supporters to the point where the 10 Great Families of the Tower have grown cautious of them. They are technically not antagonistic towards the Jahad Empire, however, their goal inherently clashes with the laws that were instated by Jahad, thus making them come at odds. Considered more of a social club rather than an actual organization.

Leaders
Baek Ryun
Baek Ryun
Tower Position: Wave Controller
Rank: 9
Occupation: Ruler of the 77th Floor; Wolhaiksong Leader
Sobriquet: None (Rejected offer)
Baek Ryun is the Ruler of the 77th Floor and the best friend of Urek Mazino. He is also the co-founder and current head of Wolhaiksong.- The Archmage: He's one of the greatest Wave Controllers in the Tower and is largely self-taught.
- Badass Normal: Baek Ryun is the third-highest-ranked non-Irregular in the Tower at number 9. *
- Brains and Brawn. As the leader of a Tower-spanning organization, he's the brain to Urek's brawn.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Urek, his best friend and the Vice-Leader of Wolhaiksong.
- The Leader: Baek Ryun is the head and co-founder of Wolhaiksong, the organization dedicated to escaping the Tower. Since they have comparable influence to one of the Great Families, Baek became notorious enough to be the ruler of the 77th floor and a top-ten ranker.
- Person with the Clothing:
Word of God says that he is an orphan and the name Baek Ryun originates from the fine silk cloth that he was wrapped in when he was first found. - Solitary Sorceress: Gender-flipped. Barring his time climbing the Tower, he never leaves his forest.
Urek Mazino
Urek Mazino
Tower Position: Fisherman
Rank: 4
Occupation: Wolhaiksong Vice-Leader
Sobriquet: Ray Barracuda
Outside the Tower, there exists a vast world, rolling skies stretch endlessly, and countless stars illuminate the darkness. A place that is a thousand times — no, a billion times wider and freer than the tower. Once you imagine that such a world exists, don't you think all those things you want are all so trivial?
Urek is an Irregular that entered after Phantaminum and Enryu (possibly tracking down Phantaminum) and climbed the Tower in just 50 years, a fraction of the time a normal Ranker takes. Urek is currently the 4th strongest and the strongest active Ranker (with Phantaminum and Enryu's whereabouts unknown and Jahad in hibernation). He is the most recent Ranker to enter the Top 5.
He is one of the co-founders of Wolhaiksong, a group that has influence comparable to that of the 10 Great Families. Combined with his unmatched strength, Urek's every move influences the future of the Tower.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Garam detests the idea of being with Mazino, and wastes no time in telling him that.
- Always Someone Better: Phantaminum. And it pisses him off.
- Arc Villain: Towards Viole and Sweet and Sour during the Flower of Zigena Story Arc. Though it turns out later on that the 21st Floor Test Administrator, Noma, was the true villain.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Of course, he can back it up; he obliterates Karaka with a single finger and not even 1% of his full power.
- Attention Whore: Seriously, he could probably out-spotlight-hog most Princesses, given half a chance to mug for a camera. Even with a small audience of soon-to-be-victims, he showboats every move he can.
- Big Damn Heroes: His whole role in the Floor of Death boils down to this up to eleven.
- Blood Knight: Boasts that a thousand Rankers should be brought to face him instead of three so he won't feel embarrassed to talk about it later. He also greatly approves of Viole standing his ground and not running away from him.Urek: It's written on my back! Mazino. If there's anyone who has a problem with what I do, tell them to come find me. I'm not afraid of anyone.
- Boisterous Bruiser: He loves having a good time (read "getting out and causing havoc"), and his off-the-wall energy levels are hell on other people. Hence, some of the ribbing he gets.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Is goofy and sometimes a Butt-Monkey. However, he is the strongest active high ranker, second only to King Jahad.
- Calling Your Attacks: His Emperor's Scorching Fist of Death, particularly. Notable since Viole successfully managed to learn it after seeing Urek use it; but, he outright refuses to add it to his repertoire as-is, since he finds the name too embarrassing.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: All his current battles, due to him being the most powerful active Ranker, have him pull this off.
- He utterly wrecks Team Sweet and Sour while not even trying to kill them and renders Viole unconscious and badly injured with a single attack. Although.... Viole does manage to scratch him, but we have to remember Urek wasn't even trying. Then he proceeds to kill off an entire group of Rankers in a matter of moments.
- How does he fight Karaka, a High Ranker and a Slayer of FUG? He uses one finger to easily cut Karaka in half and cause a devastating shockwave that leveled the arena, while having the luxury to protect the girls he came to save.
- Once he and Bam have gotten far enough away so he can fight Hell Joe without putting his other allies in danger, Urek releases 10% of his power and proceeds to easily plow through anything Hell Joe tries against him and he even goes as far as to say that the way he was using shinsu could easily be replicated by many others in the Tower, most of whom are obviously much weaker than him. Once he removes the Red Thryssa from Hell Joe, it takes him only seconds before he has it in his grasp and crushes it.
- The Ditz: It's not that he's completely thick, spaced-out, or unplugged-in (you can't afford to be, in the Tower), but... well... you get the impression he needs assistance to think in straight lines and/or to stay grounded a lot of the time. He's bright enough to know that, too, even if he does slip his Winged Tree crew from time to time.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: While there are quite a few people who recognize Mazino for his power, the rest of his inner circle sees him as a frivolous, boisterous blowhard. One time he was even believed to have done shady business to Bam, using his Casanova Wannabe tendencies as an excuse.
- The Dreaded: People are terrified to face him in battle, knowing he can easily obliterate anyone. However, he also has a reputation as some kind of a pervert, causing some of the reactions he gets from new people to be... worried in a less than respectful manner.
- Everyone Has Standards:
- When he learns that the Test Administrator sent Regulars after him because the Yeon Family wanted him to kill a FUG Slayer Candidate, he is disgusted and ends up offering them a chance to walk away freely. Even when they challenge him, Urek makes it clear he doesn't want to kill them and lets them leave after thoroughly smacking them down.
- Urek may be arrogant, but as shown with his interactions with Po Bidau Gustang, he still views other non-Irregulars as being no less, if only different, than irregulars like him, Baam, and the Family Heads and absolutely abhors his disregard of other people as bugs.
- Urek is clearly against the idea of hurting girls, as displayed by how he avoids retaliating against girls like Yihwa and Yuri and outright intervenes when Karaka is hurting Yura and Miseng.
- In-Series Nickname: The Winged Tree Organization still calls him Urek Loser-no, Loser-rek Mazino, U-Loser Mental Mazino-seon ever since he got owned by the deputy head of the Ranking Office. Of course, no one in the series thus far has dared to call him that to his face.
- Hellish Pupils: Red vertically slit pupils.
- Lightning Bruiser: All High Rankers are most likely this at minimum, but Urek is famous for being one.
- Mr. Fanservice: Is there a reason he doesn't wear a shirt?
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: He acknowledges that giving Hell Joe the Red Thryssa wasn't a good idea due to it taking over Joe and corrupting his lofty goals.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His design is clearly inspired by Eminem, although he's actually not that good at rapping according to Word of God...
- No-Sell: Not only does he stomp any opponents he goes up against with ease, but he also proves able to shrug off anything they can throw at him.
- While holding back a ridiculous amount of his power, he easily resists Prince's Lighthouse and states he's no-sold Lighthouses to where only the Opera even managed to stop him at all and takes no damage from their combined attack that caused an explosion. Viole's strongest attack only leaves a slight scratch on his face.
- Karaka launches a powerful shinsu whip at him that destroys a decent amount of the arena.... And Urek is not only completely unharmed but also deems that Karaka is only worth one finger. Another powerful attack from Karaka that has him explode himself? He is only surprised by how audacious Karaka was and simply protects the girls he wanted to protect with no damage done to him.
- Using 10% of his power, the Red Thryssa's attacks on him do no damage apart from knocking him back, Urek even has it in him to say how disappointing the Thryssa's power is.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Damn creepy ones... until he starts being his dude-bro self at you. That greatly mitigates the effect.
- Space Compression: As a power. He once shrunk an entire forest and put it in a suitcase. Then carried it all the way to the 77th Floor upon which he re-expanded the forest.
- Super-Speed: Fastest flash-step so far; he went from standing still to being in the middle of kicking a Ranker in the back of the head from one panel to the next.
- Sympathy for the Devil: For Hell Joe in the Floor of Death arc. Even after learning what kind of man he'd become after receiving the Red Thryssa, Mazino has nothing but sympathy for him and even offers to help him off of the Floor of Death. Mazino once admired Joe's aspirations for greatness, and agreed with how unfair the election process that broke Joe was—even at the end he still thinks Joe can rise up again. It's that same sympathy that made Joe turn away from Mazino altogether when his emotions were at rock bottom, seeing it as Condescending Compassion for an opponent he completely trounced.
- Terrain Sculpting: To satisfy Baek Ryun's desire to see the outside world without leaving his forest, Urek used his spatial compression ability to shrink it enough to fit in a box and literally carried it to the 77th floor. This is where Wolhaiksong, "Winged Tree Under the Moon," got its name.
- The Magnificent: Ray Barracuda due to his incredibly aggressive and powerful but impossibly fast fighting style.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: In his debut. This was, perhaps, purely to show off his tattoo.
- Willfully Weak:
- It's easily obvious that Urek was holding back IMMENSELY when he was fighting Team Sweet and Sour. He doesn't use shinsu and just physical attacks and that leaves no lasting damage at all on Wangnan, Arkraptor, Horyang, and Prince apart from leaving them stunned and when he does use a legendary technique, it doesn't kill Viole, just severely injure him, and it even leaves Miseng unharmed. As he later on easily annihilates two Rankers at once with a shinsu blast, it's clear even those attacks would have totally killed them had he really wanted to kill them.
- When he uses 10% of his power against Hell Joe, while easily overwhelming him, he still clearly refrains from really fighting even then, as his moves don't outright hit Joe, just plow through his attacks. He even makes it clear how he really didn't want to harm Joe, just beat some sense into him, and that had he wanted to, those attacks would have killed him several times over. When Red Thryssa is finally out, it takes just one hit to completely separate it from Joe and he then just crushes its neck with one hand.
- World's Strongest Man: He refers to himself as this, even though he technically isn't.note
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: On all his appearances, Urek has never hit a girl at all and even saved them at times.
- He avoids contact with Yihwa while he easily tosses aside the males of the group and when he sees Miseng intercept his attack, his reaction is one of shock and it may have been the reason why he holds back his attack.
- The moment he sensed Karaka about to hurt Ha Yura and Miseng, he comes to their rescue and ends up protecting them while also stomping Karaka.
- He gets repeatedly hit by Yuri and despite being obviously significantly stronger than her, does not retaliate at all. Albeit granted Yuri is one of his friends.
- Worthy Opponent: For Arie Hon and Khun Edahn, Khun Aguero's father. Even the arrogant Po Bidau Gustang acknowledges him as such and states he is the only one in Wolhaiksong the Family Heads respect.
- Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: It's clear the feeling is not so mutual, however. While he clearly knows better than to just dismiss the Family Heads as he does with others, it's more because he is wary of them rather than respecting them. While we've only seen his relationship with Gustang, it's clear from Urek's words that he considers them far from friends, calling them all goddamn idiots and stating he avoids interacting with them.
- Unrequited Love: For Garam Jahad, no less.
Members
Khun Hachuling
Khun Hachuling
Tower Position: Scout
Rank: Ranker
Occupation: Wolhaiksong Member
I've been out of the Khun Family for a long time. Ever since I got this wing.
A defector of the Khun family, Hachuling is a Ranker member of Wolhaiksong that accompanied Yuri and Evan on their 2nd Floor expedition.
Hachuling oversaw the Workshop Battle task he was originally assigned by Yuje that he eventually passed on to Lero-Ro and Quant after the two of them came looking for him on the 77th Floor.
- Black Sheep: Rejects his family for a separatist group feared by the Ruling Class.
- Con Man: He's a Khun, after all. Unlike his Serious Business younger brother, however, he does it to simply relieve his boredom or amuse himself.
- Geek: Hardcore gamer to the extent he ended up setting up an arcade for fun on the 77th Floor, which, due to its location, sees very few customers.
- The Gadfly: Has a lot of this about him, and it mostly comes off as It Amused Me rather than For the Evulz. Trolling little bro to knock him down a few pegs was for a purpose, after all. And, Quant, well... why not?
- Gentleman Snarker: He's got snark, brains, privilege, connections, and plenty of laziness to shift "tedious" tasks onto others.
- Loveable Rogue: To a tee.
- Manipulative Bastard: Again, he's a Khun. It's pretty much their thing (unless your name is Ran). He certainly manipulated Quant (not hard) and Lero-Ro (much harder) into doing donkey work without breaking a sweat.
- Playful Hacker: Though a Scout, he is perfectly capable of hacking into Lighthouses.
- Shout-Out: To Star Wars when he surprises Quant with the Death Star he built.

—Urek Mazino
A Wolhaiksong Ranker who serves as Urek's assistant. Yuje is usually seen alongside Urek wherever the Irregular decides to go.
- Big Damn Heroes: Thanks to Yeon Ehwa's flames shielding her and Danhwa for a brief moment, Yuje was able to go in and save the two of them before they died off to Yuri's overwhelming Rose Shower attack at Name Hunt Station when she was trying to kill off Karaka.
