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:

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mRz3rGlj1

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegRPk4FgUj

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.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbQ6XFrowu

I took a step toward the door. Then another.

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWDbogIopQ

I reached for the doorknob—and suddenly stopped breathing.

The world shrank to a single point.

Darkness swallowed me.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO6QERJmzj

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.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96bVLBCeXO

:Who are you?

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w7T176y8S

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

Dead.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0AAGRmKp4

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.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7MxPEJ2z3

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

But something pulsed in my chest.

Like a heart—but not mine.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DlXMPLDZf

:Hi! a voice suddenly said.

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbYga9dnia

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfajVpcsoAs

:Chae Eun. Nice to meet you.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdAjITEddB

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvMPbW2Che

:Sure…

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTBGI8yWbJ

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

Flashes of memories that weren’t mine.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtNqVTWHkO

I touch the ground—it cracks.

I look at someone—they slowly turn to dust.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ754yCYxAHI

This isn’t me…

But I feel it. Like I did it.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd481fWWEJ

Yoon So Ra (scared): Are you okay?

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7fHPmbUqS

:Yeah… just a headache…

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbiahoGbr6

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sybE9qS2i

Yoon So Ra: Let’s sit down for a bit.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuyuFQtUyq

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

But something inside me burst out again.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeEg3CD7nv

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CePkrAWVD

I jumped up.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDRbxa0Mog

:I need to go home. I just…

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0bwPhbExt

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.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb0ctnb2HQ

:Who are you?

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqndav3CVM

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"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r3h9CDQO8

But there were only fragments.

Morania—a being born from pain and love.

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzoO6rCxTz

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.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkTHPtmFQc

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

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpm0KTujlJ

G:She’s awakened…

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkYAijcMQs

:Who?

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBPXDs0Cjr

G:Morania. She’s inside you, child.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj5VVzC7qj

I shrank back.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqDxus09T3

:Go away! I… I don’t want to know!

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQI3d0PuWL

Grandma stepped closer and softly said:

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f484V1fiu

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

You still hav

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd1F3Sqt47

e a choice, Chae Eun… for now…”

She chose you.

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