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:

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNvHMfzaip

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2hAZpL0fd

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.

I took a step toward the door. Then another.

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufSP4T72XF

I reached for the doorknob—and suddenly stopped breathing.

The world shrank to a single point.

Darkness swallowed me.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHwfiQAcpb

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.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbkQqcPgi6

:Who are you?

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd1ymUBCis

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

Dead.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamyT0IcXM

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.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBZhRp56yK

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

But something pulsed in my chest.

Like a heart—but not mine.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzAsdgexHK

:Hi! a voice suddenly said.

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ra78GzirS

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1VmieqYnm

:Chae Eun. Nice to meet you.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS9Sl4jhMW

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUqQSVL360

:Sure…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOXVOjEyYv

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

Flashes of memories that weren’t mine.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKxMmi1bCx

I touch the ground—it cracks.

I look at someone—they slowly turn to dust.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSsc4Dfnoz

This isn’t me…

But I feel it. Like I did it.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2QwvcJ8Iv

Yoon So Ra (scared): Are you okay?

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YttB6IyJw

:Yeah… just a headache…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM90O8Q3X7q

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡach0IW8UN1

Yoon So Ra: Let’s sit down for a bit.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZoVwvVyT

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

But something inside me burst out again.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvT3dROnyx

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf5LjqWQ9u

I jumped up.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaNkspN62j

:I need to go home. I just…

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztv1kANSmM

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.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWuHEk0qpS

:Who are you?

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUck3ztDF8

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"

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZVfj2ZVRm

But there were only fragments.

Morania—a being born from pain and love.

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG7nBBfeqn

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.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYSqnl9Gjx

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

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUvhtdWNpV

G:She’s awakened…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri2ucbU4eC

:Who?

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrrivg72Kc

G:Morania. She’s inside you, child.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01v3eki0n6

I shrank back.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNwiTvW1F8

:Go away! I… I don’t want to know!

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZwbGFLLkB

Grandma stepped closer and softly said:

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYwckKWai8

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

You still hav

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LluvTIUiP

e a choice, Chae Eun… for now…”

She chose you.

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