Seoul Object Story

In the cozy bedroom inside the private jet which was dark with no lights turned on, the moonlight filtered in through the oval windows, softly illuminating the room. The walls, which were reflecting the soft lights of the moonlight, were walls with dark mahogany panels, and underneath it were thick, soft carpets. All in all, It was a bedroom where the carpet felt soft and pleasant when you stepped on it.

The small light of the cell phone, slowly blinking, was shining on the table, and next to it were the remains of countless bowls of pudding I had eaten.

“Weaper….”

As Yerin smacked her lips, she was mumbling something in her sleep. She was munching on my antennae as if she was eating something delicious.

Just what kind of dream that she had to the point she was smiling happily even though her eyes closed under the soft moonlight?

Unlike the happy Yerin, I was lying on a large, soft bed while being held in Yerin’s arms while wearing uncomfortable clothes. When I slipped away from her embrace with my Phantom Form, Yerin started feeling around like a baby looking for their toy.

I summoned a quite large Hungry Ghost and put it in Yerin’s arms, then went to the oval window and looked at the scenery outside the private plane floating above the sea of clouds.

Moonlights with several different colours and countless stars.

The plane which was floating above the sky made the scenery below look like a desolate and lonely snowfield for some reason. When I reached out and touched the cold window, I saw a small gray hand and blue sleeves.

I guess it’s time to take it off. I quickly took off the kindergarten uniform with Phantom Form. Then I summoned a white Hungry Ghost and forced it into the kindergarten uniform before making it sit on the sofa.

Gyuu-!

The white Hungry Ghost, which was twisted in many places because of the clothes, made a discontent voice as if to express how uncomfortable it felt. Looking at the white Hungry Ghost who wore a wronged expression while wearing the clothes, made me laugh a little.

Hihihi!

With that done, I started my preparation to go play in the Garden of The Mini Reaper.

First, I summoned a Golden Reaper to my palm to leave it next to Yerin. However, the Golden Reaper looked at me and moved busily as if trying to say something.

Did something happen?

It jumped up and down on my palm and explained diligently while gesturing with its whole body. Of course, since it was hard to understand the Golden Reaper’s body language, I focused on reading its intentions.

A younger sibling?

A new youngest sibling appeared?

I thought so as I stroked the Golden Reaper, who seemed very happy to have another younger sibling.

Another one appeared…

I think I’ve been having new children too often lately.

Well, the Mini Reapers were all good kids, unlike me, so it was okay to have more of them.

If the Golden Reapers, who were the closest to my personality, straight up cloned everything about me and became ‘Mini Gray Reapers’, things would really be so messy… �

I couldn’t help but laugh as I thought about myself running around and making a mess after becoming smaller. But since managing them would be annoying, I petted the Golden Reaper and conveyed my intention.

‘SInce ‘Golden Reaper’ was the eldest, you should take good care of your younger siblings, okay?’

The Golden Reaper smiled brightly and nodded vigorously.

By the way, what made another Mini Reaper appear this time? I thought it would only increase if I solved something related to the moon…

This time, I only dealt with a Giant Pig King, so did that mean a pig-headed Mini Reaper had appeared?

While imagining a not-so-cute mini Reaper, I conveyed my intention to the Golden Reaper.

‘Then, take good care of Yerin. I’ll go to the garden.’

After summoning a bunch of Golden Reapers and decorating Yerin’s surroundings, I moved to the Garden of the Mini Reaper.

*********I was dreaming a very old dream.

It was a dream of the moment when I was born.

In a vast and desolate mountain range which stretched endlessly filled with landscape with nothing but rugged rocks and bitter winds, the only thing that was visibly different was the mountain ranges which could be seen in the distance which were as sharp as blades. However, the peaks couldn’t be seen because it was covered in endless icy fog.

The cold, as if it would freeze even the soul, did not tolerate any life. In this kind of harsh place, a single spark of flame suddenly came to life. It was a light that breathed red and warmth into the monotonous world of ice and stone.

I was born in that flame.

I was born in the ‘desire of humanity’ to overcome the endless harsh cold and hunger which was caused by the climate.

I was a light that drove away the darkness, and a flame that consumed the cold.

I was a being that swallowed up cold and lifeless rocks and gave them the elixir of flame that would overcome hunger.

As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw were small humans who were worshipping me, a huge being which was looking down at me with an expressionless from behind a guardian dyed in white.

The scenery in my dream gradually became blurry. Then, I woke up from a deep dream and felt my eyes opening again.

I was born again.

What I saw in my blurry vision were small things filling my surroundings, a huge being looking down at me with an expressionless look, and a white guardian.

Ah, I was finally back.

However, when my vision became clear, what I saw was not the same scenery I saw in the dream. Instead of land filled with strangely shaped rocks, there was soft and gentle land. Moreover, instead of cold and strong winds, there was gentle warmth and gentle breeze.

What filled my surroundings were also not humans who were worshipping me, but a girl-shaped being with a bright smile.

The white guardian also had lost its dignified expression. It only had a resentful expression on its face.

The creator who was looking down at me also hid its playfulness behind its expressionless facade and slowly approached me.

Then, it ate my flesh.

My once strong body had turned into something transparent, soft, and sweet.

I couldn’t rebel against my creator, so I had no choice but to quietly be eaten while showing a vexed expression.

*********When I arrived at the Garden of the Mini Reaper, the first thing I saw was a huge black sphere.

The thing which looked exactly like the <unchanging black="" ball=""> was floating in the Garden of The Mini Reaper.</unchanging>

Under it, there was a tower of cookies that had collapsed miserably.

Om nom nom-!

It must have been made in order to reach that sphere. However, since the material was not strong enough to sustain something as high as that tower, the Golden Reapers were just happily eating the remains of the collapsed tower.

So, a new sibling was born inside that sphere?

But the sphere was so high up that there seemed to be no way to climb up.

How on earth did they build a tower that high up with cookies alone?

Golden Reaper~ As expected, you guys were so capable.

I walked around under the sphere, pondering over and over again. If only I could fly in the sky, it would be easy.

While pondering under the sphere, flames suddenly bursted the Garden of the Mini Reaper. For a second, the Golden Reapers were surprised. However, they quickly surrounded the flames while I just slowly approached the flames out of curiosity.

It felt similar to when the Hungry Ghost was born.

As I continued to look at the flames, I saw a small pig-shaped jelly growing in size within the flames. Strangely, it was a jelly that smelled incredibly delicious, unlike regular jelly. It smelled so delicious that the Golden Reapers started to drooled.

However, from how they looked back and forth between the jelly pig and me, it was obvious they were holding themselves back because they wanted me to eat it first.

Then, should I taste it?

I slowly approached the pig and ate it.

Om nom nom-!

It was such an innovative jelly. It was chewy and juicy.

Moreover, when I looked at the part that I had bit, there was no sign of it having been eaten.

Since it regenerated quickly, I guess it could be used as emergency food like the white Hungry Ghost.

When I turned my back, the Golden Reapers rushed at it with happy expressions and started eating it little by little.

Just like that, the Jelly Pig became as pitiful as the White Hungry Ghost.

*********The ruins of Trinity 3rd Research Institute in Gwanak-Gu was still covered by black liquid and still remained as a land of death where not a single person could live.

Gwanak-gu, filled with this mucus that was harmful to humans, other creatures, and even Objects, became a place where could only be visited by humans wearing protective suits.

In such a place, a secret meeting was taking place inside the research camp set up near the ruins.

Now, only two directors of Trinity Research Institute remain.

The Director of the 1st Trinity Research Institute shook the sealed glass bottle which had the black mucus sealed inside and opened his mouth.

“It’s amazing. Really really amazing. Maybe this liquid will be the light that will illuminate the future of humanity.”

Upon hearing that, the Director of the 2nd Research Institute frowned.

“You’re going to utilize such a suspicious Object byproduct? Do you want to end up like the Director of the 3rd Research Institute?”

“This liquid is neither suspicious nor a byproduct of Objects.”

The first director continued with a meaningful smile.

“Haven’t you seen the third director’s journal? You should know the recipe and its effects.”

“Don’t tell me… You don’t believe in nonsense like human evolution or something, do you?”

“There’s no way I would believe in something like that.”

The Director of the 1st Research Institute answered with a laugh, but the Director of the 2nd Research Institute guessed that there was a little sincerity in that smile.

He’s dangerous.

Feeling something ominous from the Director of 1st Research Institute’s expression, the Director of the 2nd Research Institute quickly got up from his seat.

“I guess that’s it for today. See you next time.”

“Okay.”

The Director of the 1st Research Institute continued to watch the Director of the 2nd Research Institute’s back with a meaningful expression.

*********I was finally able to enter the black sphere. It was thanks to the small Jelly Pig’s ability to eat something and grow in size.

The pig, who had been forcefully fed with numerous snacks scattered throughout the Garden of The Mini Reaper to bulk up, was finally able to grow large enough to reach the black sphere.

However, the inside of the black sphere was far from the happy place where the youngest lived, like what the Golden Reaper had described to me.

It was more like a graveyard.

A huge corpse could be seen in the distance, while the mucus on the ground was the corpse of the Mini Reapers. It had lost its shape and melted like ice, but I could clearly see it: The slimy substance was the corpses of countless Mini Reapers who had lost their firewood and collapsed.

I lowered my hand and scooped up one puddle of Mini Reaper, then transferred some firewood into it. Then, the Mini Reaper, which had melted like ice, quickly regained its shape and succeeded in reviving.

However, it was a strange being with no legs and arms.

The Mini Reaper which had white burning firewood looked at me with empty eyes. But before long, it changed its appearance.

It became a black Mini Reaper who looked exactly like me.

Should I called it Black Reaper because it’s black?

The Black Reaper stared at me, then turned around.

The Black Reaper, who had been looking back and forth between the corpse and me, tilted its head.

Mom?

Unlike the Golden Reaper, the Black Reaper was not convinced, so I spent half of the firewood that I had worked hard to gather from Yerin and put it in the large corpse.

Woong-!

With the sound of flames blazing, my consciousness was transferred into the corpse.

However, just the consciousness transfer alone consumed all the firewood in an instant, so consciousness bounced back into my body.

Mom!

The Black Reaper, with its eyes wide open as if it was startled, jumped up and clung to my face, and started to cry loudly.

With that for a start, my firewood filled the black sphere, and the nearly infinite number of Black Reapers stood up and rushed at me.

It’s mom!

I was a little puzzled by the Black Reapers who were suddenly clinging to me and crying, but I could vividly feel their sorrowful emotions.

It’s okay. Mom is here.

However, I could only pat the countless Black Reapers who were crying.
