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:

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8e4tICBTo

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70DUr9TXXB

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.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCkHezRdSG

I took a step toward the door. Then another.

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ksrro4BnQ

I reached for the doorknob—and suddenly stopped breathing.

The world shrank to a single point.

Darkness swallowed me.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsxBKL4zeh

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.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBLq0btdnD

:Who are you?

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BDAC12Oe9

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

Dead.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ug5LzLCFf

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.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDvISmP6dz

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

But something pulsed in my chest.

Like a heart—but not mine.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFE58dNPiV

:Hi! a voice suddenly said.

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaNLuA13SS

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzEnWgCfru

:Chae Eun. Nice to meet you.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JJw2ninAq

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3YIA1BiXz

:Sure…

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrNmPHK12k

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

Flashes of memories that weren’t mine.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSlxZUN2HF

I touch the ground—it cracks.

I look at someone—they slowly turn to dust.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZprTJFXvY7

This isn’t me…

But I feel it. Like I did it.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjTlEYqMjT

Yoon So Ra (scared): Are you okay?

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Jfool1yw

:Yeah… just a headache…

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlvX9XPjq4

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyaq78BSQo

Yoon So Ra: Let’s sit down for a bit.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSQbpI8YKX

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

But something inside me burst out again.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51rBE7pfMV

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Mh9P86QL

I jumped up.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLLftipQT

:I need to go home. I just…

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxnjy9KtKW

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.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqVTiAKsnb

:Who are you?

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GlE4Udz3e

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"

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIyUnsbwiY

But there were only fragments.

Morania—a being born from pain and love.

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GSuq8GLUH

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.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfRvdNVO5P

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zcsQgjjA

G:She’s awakened…

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRzhcZzUPa

:Who?

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nRhV8RmJD

G:Morania. She’s inside you, child.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cqozznyvg

I shrank back.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJk96Nxn6d

:Go away! I… I don’t want to know!

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKoHjgGhPL

Grandma stepped closer and softly said:

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirTB2RbJmC

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

You still hav

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzSqVM7Ztt

e a choice, Chae Eun… for now…”

She chose you.

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