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:

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDgwSil7Cm

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNYN8XWOoY

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.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDolJKS6YmZ

I took a step toward the door. Then another.

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxpFjyv6N4

I reached for the doorknob—and suddenly stopped breathing.

The world shrank to a single point.

Darkness swallowed me.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJrxWaGz7Y

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.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxDbqfnNYw

:Who are you?

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmHg2qTpki

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

Dead.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7swCDNZpT

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.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVklR2obsX

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

But something pulsed in my chest.

Like a heart—but not mine.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXlZp2wvxe

:Hi! a voice suddenly said.

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxt6AUOVdM

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGRKpajzAY

:Chae Eun. Nice to meet you.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPdFMozAff

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5kuFgegmT

:Sure…

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8t96swkqk

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

Flashes of memories that weren’t mine.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr2fwuBETx

I touch the ground—it cracks.

I look at someone—they slowly turn to dust.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbqUvVXDzP

This isn’t me…

But I feel it. Like I did it.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxuQ7wmgKG

Yoon So Ra (scared): Are you okay?

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI87V0bwYZi

:Yeah… just a headache…

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLBN20Pnon

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2LqhZ4cOa

Yoon So Ra: Let’s sit down for a bit.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDTZLUcMuv

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

But something inside me burst out again.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAX6otvDdd

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBtPY32iiU

I jumped up.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLddjBwkQ0d

:I need to go home. I just…

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbHrd7srzO

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.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35VgMykPN2

:Who are you?

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bHN0m4GBD

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"

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0l83aK9a

But there were only fragments.

Morania—a being born from pain and love.

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1esHQY5Ui

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.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MXLJoYUMA

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

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhk8IgGOVo

G:She’s awakened…

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVveGD9h4IR

:Who?

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWytGQ1trc

G:Morania. She’s inside you, child.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7FnWhgQSR

I shrank back.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4csHTj628C

:Go away! I… I don’t want to know!

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDUHQGIFTh

Grandma stepped closer and softly said:

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY2bD3wD57

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

You still hav

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDBIosIYY

e a choice, Chae Eun… for now…”

She chose you.

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