Have you seen my world?(English version) - Chapter 1

January 24, 2014

Alone again.

Dad, as always, is away on a business trip. My sister and brother are at our relatives’ place.

The house is empty and echoing—like even the walls sigh from loneliness.

I put on some music, slipped in my headphones, and lay down on the couch.

Through the rhythm of the bass, I suddenly heard a whisper:

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjAJIpQIIA

:Do you want to see your past self? Come closer… and everything will change.”

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxlZS4oy6L

My heart froze.

I took off my headphones and looked at the bedroom door.

There was something about that voice… cold, but tempting.

Like someone was calling me from within the darkness itself.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCbU3MVWeO

I took a step toward the door. Then another.

As I got closer, everything grew quieter. The air thickened like smoke.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8R3y89Rx6

I reached for the doorknob—and suddenly stopped breathing.

The world shrank to a single point.

Darkness swallowed me.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwWU1Sjlm6

I woke up. But I wasn’t… me.

The world looked strange: the colors were brighter, the sounds—muffled.

And most of all—I didn’t feel alone.

She was inside me.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluKlNveaTZ

:Who are you?

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFirzZgvIV

But instead of an answer, I saw people. Standing still.

Dead.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva7r6yNT09

I screamed, ran out of the house, not even knowing where I was going.

Only in the park did I stop to catch my breath.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9LnD0yRz9

I sat on a swing, trying to feel real again.

But something pulsed in my chest.

Like a heart—but not mine.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ3IGGTrZS

:Hi! a voice suddenly said.

A girl with short hair and freckles stood in front of me.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiPss5IGtS

:Let’s be friends? I’m Yoon So Ra. And you?

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYjEH3ADRJ

:Chae Eun. Nice to meet you.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbXiza6Atf

Yoon So Ra: Want some ice cream? There’s a new place nearby. It’s amazing!

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhOr6xHsut

:Sure…

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaGaYydZyi

We walked down the road when my head started spinning again.

Flashes of memories that weren’t mine.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkpC2Dvhrx

I touch the ground—it cracks.

I look at someone—they slowly turn to dust.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfBSTBzU2e

This isn’t me…

But I feel it. Like I did it.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gLzs1rzfu

Yoon So Ra (scared): Are you okay?

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfGFzbiWza

:Yeah… just a headache…

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEt2OmnToU

I tried to smile, but it was hard to breathe.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvaoFLaNMF

Yoon So Ra: Let’s sit down for a bit.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRSMrovpXT

We sat on a bench. I looked up at the sky, trying to focus on anything else.

But something inside me burst out again.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExH02ZE0bi

:Finally… I’m back, a voice whispered inside.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoijh57ACtn

I jumped up.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkobF1QsJk6

:I need to go home. I just…

I couldn’t even finish the sentence—I nearly ran off.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbwsia1TYf

When I got home, the room smelled like smoke.

Black marks covered the floor, like ash.

And the mirror… for a split second, someone else’s smile appeared on my face.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N5veixNbu

:Who are you?

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIHdjxzGQM

The next morning, I went to the library.

I sat at the old computer and typed:

"ancient beings that feed on emotions"

"do souls exist after death"

"legend of Morania"

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdimsiCz7EM

But there were only fragments.

Morania—a being born from pain and love.

A creature that feeds on emotions and… can possess humans.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AkYNHZebW

A knock on the door.

I turned—and there stood my grandmother. I hadn’t seen her since summer.

Silent, as if she already knew.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUnqAEN6T6

:You can feel her, can’t you? She whispered.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR5cmApOmB

G:She’s awakened…

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Qr2hmhY7

:Who?

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KcjrSUQLp

G:Morania. She’s inside you, child.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLugReYFmz

I shrank back.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD4tSgjaUo

:Go away! I… I don’t want to know!

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgURt5ECzDe

Grandma stepped closer and softly said:

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvePcmXHfP

G:Then listen. Or she’ll destroy everything you love.

You still hav

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaqFam2o6r

e a choice, Chae Eun… for now…”

She chose you.

Now you’re either her prison… or her weapon.
