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:

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq3BpgmZn1

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9KwwtH21Y

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.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm61JQLksS

I took a step toward the door. Then another.

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslee0QRsbw

I reached for the doorknob—and suddenly stopped breathing.

The world shrank to a single point.

Darkness swallowed me.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4MNH6BMeT

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.

:Who are you?

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcISqLqKXPe

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

Dead.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT3kP53A7f

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.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEGUaKMfqG

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

But something pulsed in my chest.

Like a heart—but not mine.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHZg1ByaOu

:Hi! a voice suddenly said.

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JMlR2YH2j

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26Mj55KFKl

:Chae Eun. Nice to meet you.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpanYdNGLJo

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEEIIDuNAT

:Sure…

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUfXPW250y

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

Flashes of memories that weren’t mine.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTdz47d5BM

I touch the ground—it cracks.

I look at someone—they slowly turn to dust.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPDJ2LjxUs

This isn’t me…

But I feel it. Like I did it.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZFopGJSsh

Yoon So Ra (scared): Are you okay?

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugGSfz2zMJ

:Yeah… just a headache…

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9VEtutdrr

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61cEDETEXU

Yoon So Ra: Let’s sit down for a bit.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EwpFjU5UR

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

But something inside me burst out again.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IQE1xXBUi

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG5d9HYGHw

I jumped up.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv3afnDv94

:I need to go home. I just…

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnxMrWRy5z

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.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE4pQW4Hab

:Who are you?

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAVhCCNchO

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"

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBX54GjAJP

But there were only fragments.

Morania—a being born from pain and love.

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCj1RCXAK4

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.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIatubJhmi

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

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVid8d5TsF8

G:She’s awakened…

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTImMSWLG3

:Who?

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcPhxf5qOe

G:Morania. She’s inside you, child.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQvwGHpm9c

I shrank back.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks7Z4EIlwx

:Go away! I… I don’t want to know!

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcbwo3LBNm

Grandma stepped closer and softly said:

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINRvkyJV1r

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

You still hav

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Ir1uUGLP

e a choice, Chae Eun… for now…”

She chose you.

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