King of Shadows

00002 Flower Spring

/001

Since he was a child, he could look down at the world with a special view. Solid values and ability to observe from a mindset. Following his former memory, he began his life on the starting line, a few steps ahead of everyone else.

But that was it. I didn't have a special history in my past life. He was just a salaryman who could be seen anywhere. That was his past life. Ordinary life. Ordinary people. Ordinary personality. A rational and intellectual development that did not match his age made him human, but that became another chain.

He will, too. The world he lived in was a different place than the world he knew. Another world, like the same. In front of the world walking a different route from his previous life, his memory did not help.

It was different. The world revolves around an ability called stigma. Stigma. It was a term used to refer to the collective portrait abilities of humans at the edge of evolution.

The power of miracles in one person's hands has taken the world to a slightly higher level. Small blossomed and large split the continent. A force so great that it cannot be called the will of an individual. Stigma was such a force.

It has been 55 years since the concept of thought was revealed. Stigma, who leads man to God, has somehow become a foundation for measuring human value. Unfortunately, Xi Hyun was off the pole.

He didn't have any stigma. Was he not given it in return for remembering his past life? Many questions passed through my mind, but I could not find a clear answer.

Moreover, there was no room for rehabilitation because there was no thought in his body. A truly incompetent one among the incompetent. Xi Hyun had a perfect zero, a peculiar sieve that is considered to be ten fingers even for the current human race.

However, she did not think that her reality was sad. In a way, it is also called ability to remember your previous life.

"Yes, I've been... stunned by the defeated."

Sihyun came into the cold house without an answer and looked around the intestine. In the corner of the living room was a pile of green liquor bottles. Cigarette ashes were stamped all over the place in the shape of someone's footprints.

"Again..."

Shi Hyun, who had thrown away his old bag, started cleaning as soon as he came home. His family was destroyed a long time ago. He was just living his life every day with the money he earned from his part-time job.

He was an alcoholic who lost his will to live, and his mother had already left him a long time ago. It was an uncommon, but uncommon, downstream routine. He was not embarrassed. This situation is not surprising to him who has stepped in the same order in his previous life.

Naturally, the ratio of the upstream and downstream was dramatically different. Needless to say, it's a pyramid-like structure that gets narrower as you go up. In other words, it's a matter of chance.

It was said that if you are reincarnated according to the results of the wheel, you are less likely to win in this family. At least it was more favorable to the upper class.

"I'm going in."

He opened the door of the room and found a man sleeping on the floor. Tough clothes. Hot hair and beard. Skin is lifeless. He sighed a little as he found his father.

The microscope, Sihyun's father, was as incapable as Sihyun. An incompetent, passionate, incompetent person. The microscope was betrayed by only one wife and lost its meaning in life. He was pouring alcohol into his old, aging body every day, and he had no interest in Sihyun. I was so consistent with my father's attitude that I could not find the degree of commitment or responsibility to protect him.

Sihyun was also saving. that the distance from the scope is farther than the others. But there was nothing she could do. At first, I started the day with worrying words and finished the day with a homemade meal.

But like a battery-depleted radio, the microscope only reacts faintly. I couldn't reach a warm word to a human who had lost the meaning of life. Sihyun was well aware. He was like that in his past life. Eventually, I needed time to accept and adapt.

"Ha."

Sihyun sighed for a second, looking out the window.

The world was cold to people without stigma. The distance that could not be narrowed by effort made the demonstration frustrating. But maybe it's because I've learned to accept and convince people in my past life. He quickly focused on finding another way.

It is because we have to live in a different way unless we have the ability to get it anyway. Life was too short to be envious and jealous of others.

However, all this was only a positive expectation of the demonstration. How to trample minorities for multiple lives. The world was designed as a route for Stigma. There was no line for the weak who could do nothing. There was no paradise for the incapacitated. The incapable had to make room for themselves with their own abilities.

When she was a child who knew nothing, she admired the illusion and sought happiness. But sadly, the walls of reality were high and cold. His life has never been the way he thought it would be. The emotion naturally dried up. And there were less expectations for something.

"... will you not destroy the world?"

I accidentally spit it out of my mouth. Sihyun, who knew it couldn't be done better than anyone, stood up with a smile. He thought it was like the whimpering of a little child. But God did not forget his wish.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Suddenly, the sound of alarm echoes throughout the neighborhood. Sihyun approached the window with a loud noise from the east office. What happened? Sihyun was surprised by the sudden sound and looked at the Dong Office. At the same time, the office collapsed.

Kuguagaaaaang.

The four-story tall building was neatly smashed by the 'numerous monsters' coming down from the sky. It was not just the same office. The department stores and apartment complexes visible to the public were also fallen into a void by the unknown presence. There was a spark everywhere. I heard the screams of thousands of people. Popularity, full of chaos, dug into the skin.

"What?!"

Until just now, there was no more peaceful life. Incidents always come in situations that cannot be fathomed. In the face of a dramatic situation, the demonstration instinctively turned to the group that caused this disaster.

An army indiscriminately falling from the sky tramples on human civilization. Like a swarm of worms, the group of loosening types had different shapes. Size and type and appearance. Everything was different.

One thing you can see is that they have overwhelming power. A civilization made of concrete and steel was strangely unaware of the power to break down a city like a sandcastle.

Sihyun became distracted. Everything was real. Extremely overwhelming in reality compared to artificially produced films and novels. Realizing that the mysterious monsters were hostile to humanity, Shi Hyun hurriedly ran towards the room. There was a phenomenon in which he had not yet touched himself.

"... Shit."

However, he immediately had to complain about his choice. One of the monsters I saw outside broke the window and came in.

"Werewolves. Moss."

Sihyun calmly observes the appearance of a monster blocking his path. A kidney that surpasses a normal adult man. A flawless appearance of muscles and veins, like peeling off skin. Unusually developed fangs and nails. The intruder who came into the house was an unexplainably bizarre monster.

With a quick gesture, he pulled out a knife from the shelf and straightened himself towards the unknown monster. However, the monster was just observing his behavior, not knowing the concept of eating knives.

"No, there's a basic notion of flying. There can't be anything technologically advanced enough to fall from the sky with nothing."

Xihyun considers the monster's reaction to be a relaxation coming from the weight difference. No one was afraid of the ants' jaws. It was clear that even the mysterious monster was relaxing for that reason.

"If you've made up your mind, you better do it fast. We don't have time to waste here."

The heart raced like it was about to break a rib. The two hands holding the knife were also trembling beyond recognition. However, Sihyun kept his mind straight. Even if you go into the tiger's den, you can live if you stay awake. After returning to the meaningless proverb, Xi Hyun leaped into a clumsy posture.

The target is the heart of the monster. It may not have the same body structure as humans, but there was no choice given to him.

The unidentified monster leaped violently and grabbed him by skillful gestures. Movement without maggots. A full-body demonstration was a meaningless, violent move within the creature's grasp. Harder than a vise, the creature's hand was strong enough to bring down an azurite tree at once.

"Around the Irish?"

The creature flicks its finger lightly, and his arm breaks without hesitation. Bones and muscles that are easily broken like a hand. When his arm lost its function, he had to miss the knife in his hand.

"Ugh..."

The joint that returned in the opposite direction at the same time as the fracture did not think of returning. He did not groan even in the craziest pain. They realized it could be the key to calling the other monsters.

"... damn you."

He bit his lip tightly. Stigma has never been more desperate than today. At least Stigma wouldn't be in vain. But it's funny to wish for something that wasn't there. A standing demonstration of a broken arm kicks the creature's abdomen with its foot. However, the muscles of a sturdy monster like armor did not allow the kicking of the strikes.

"Between Gillicks?"

The monster tilts his head to see if his actions don't make sense. The creature does not see him as a prey. Rather, I saw it as a toy. A lump of meat that can be broken at any time. That was the monster's assessment of the demonstration.

"Let go! Let go! You son of a bitch!"

"Riiiiiiiic! Riiiic."

The creature that soon lost interest severed his stride at once. Woodcock. With the sound of bones breaking, the visceral organs spill down in a delicate crust. He hurriedly tried to get his blood and intestines, but it just flowed down through his fingers.

"Ahhhh!!"

A merciless event. She seemed to forget how to breathe in such a headache. The creature grabbed Sihyun's body, struggling to survive, played with him like a toy against the first feeling. I rip off the limbs and grind their faces. I made fun of life, made fun of the flesh.

She smiled spontaneously as she felt her body drifting away from her whole life. It was a body that pierced the afterlife from its previous life to its rebirth. Perhaps there was a dramatic opportunity and I thought I was having a second peak.

But he was just one of many and many people in the world. That was one far from luck, too.

"... That's it."

We've had our opinions about the afterlife. Attraction, nothing, rebirth. Heaven and hell, but Sihyun knew. There's another life after death.

Maybe that's why. Sihyun was able to give up relatively easily. If you fail, you can try again. If it falls, we can go back up. Even if you lose your memory and the world changes, another person will live a new life. Xi Hyun, who had vague expectations in his heart, lost his mind.
