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:

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeA56wnRU2

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxuNoIE6Jk

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.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuEoRU9hKY

I took a step toward the door. Then another.

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy9c8Xy4EM

I reached for the doorknob—and suddenly stopped breathing.

The world shrank to a single point.

Darkness swallowed me.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ENb2t8O4C

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.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEsp4A2oEo

:Who are you?

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRkPFfq943

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

Dead.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbTaq3PvCd

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.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08NfvuGTDR

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

But something pulsed in my chest.

Like a heart—but not mine.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28coUXKMmA

:Hi! a voice suddenly said.

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAffc2l9iS

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmKBtg0td4

:Chae Eun. Nice to meet you.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNtiK7YcqI

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnMxFdNC2k

:Sure…

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru9YzfAlty

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

Flashes of memories that weren’t mine.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l35QB5dwP

I touch the ground—it cracks.

I look at someone—they slowly turn to dust.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiuCGvK6Vf

This isn’t me…

But I feel it. Like I did it.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8so1N6zwOJ

Yoon So Ra (scared): Are you okay?

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvqyRgdivk

:Yeah… just a headache…

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUy5VVSIgu

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm2Eqz9YdN

Yoon So Ra: Let’s sit down for a bit.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfiss8Phm1

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

But something inside me burst out again.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl4tGnNrx5

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT61YkHMiY

I jumped up.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnplAsbDtQ

:I need to go home. I just…

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c9fgcQ2al

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.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfkBawEg2H

:Who are you?

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaVh5OSB3s

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"

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGJ5iSKzsG

But there were only fragments.

Morania—a being born from pain and love.

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG70LcdNmc

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.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivmvcfedKO

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

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPfdxSmhEQ

G:She’s awakened…

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvjjILbJaT

:Who?

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dw6fIZvbA

G:Morania. She’s inside you, child.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavIvSpISay

I shrank back.

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYOzfKQm4F

:Go away! I… I don’t want to know!

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg97JRw4nb

Grandma stepped closer and softly said:

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6W0nFSDLi

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

You still hav

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbEc5LIciG

e a choice, Chae Eun… for now…”

She chose you.

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