Seoul Object Story

As I walked slowly and arrived at Gwanak-gu, the morning sun rose above the horizon and casted a golden glow over the landscape as if to welcome me.

The warm light also bathed the ruins in a soft glow, illuminating the intricate shapes of the broken buildings scattered around the area while shadows danced playfully among the debris, creating a mosaic of light and darkness that decorated the desolate ruins.

However, in that serene and quiet morning landscape, the sticky black mucus also made its presence known. The ‘evolution fluid’ rippled smoothly like well-maintained synthetic rubber and shone with a unique luster. It looked as if a lot of smooth rubber had been laid out on the ruins.

It could have been a beautiful sight, but the foul stench that permeated the air tarnished the beauty of the scene.

The stench, filled with the smell of petroleum and malice, seemed to gnaw at my sanity, it was a terrible smell that I could never get used to.

Because the liquid was harmful to both living things and Objects, there were no living beings found in the ruins. Not only were there no bugs crawling on the ground, there were also no birds flying in the sky.

I thought there would be many people flocking to Gwanak-gu after seeing the notes of the Director of Trinity Third Research Institute and the ‘Evolution Liquid’ used in Mount Odae, but the ruins were more deserted than I thought.

There were Trinity Research Institute camps and research camps belonging to the Association set up around the area, but there were no researchers working in them. There were also almost no security guards guarding the area.

Looking at that, I thought It would be easier to remove the ‘Evolution Liquid’ that had seeped into the ruins than I expected.

I should have cleaned up that disgusting mucus a long time ago! But, I never thought that there would be so many people trying to recycle the liquid that had destroyed an entire area.

In particular, after reading the records from the Trinity First Research Institute, I couldn’t just leave it alone after reading a report that the Association was also researching it in order to use it to suppress Objects.

However, when I actually thought about removing every single drop of it, I felt a little regretful. After all, I wouldn’t be able to play the mini reaper drop game anymore.

Then, which mini reaper should I throw in for the one last time?

I’d used the Golden Reaper so often that it became boring, so I chose one of the younger ones. The weak ones wouldn’t die even if they touched the black mucus, but they would have a hard time. So I thought the ‘Black Reaper’, who was as tough as the Golden Reaper but hated black mucus so much, would be the one who would give me the best reaction.

When I summoned a Black Reaper to my palm, it quickly bared its teeth and made a fierce expression as it looked at the environment filled with black mucus.

Then, the moment I gently picked up the Black Reaper and tried to slowly put it into the black mucus, the Black Reaper turned into slime and escaped from my grasp.

Punch-! Punch-!

The Black Reaper, who had climbed up onto my shoulder, clenched both of its fists and punched me in the cheek. While doing so, its expression was as if asking how I could do such a cruel thing.

Then, I started to feel a little angry.

It might be hard to throw the Golden Reaper with time acceleration, but wouldn’t I be able to do it against the Black Reaper?

However, when I tried to throw it using time acceleration, I failed every time. The Black Reaper, who could freely change its shape, was much stronger and more agile than me.

Hing-!

It seemed impossible to just grab it and throw it.

Who would have thought the Black Reaper would be more agile than the Golden Reaper, the eldest…

Why do my children all have better athleticism than me?

Just as I was about to give up, the Black Reaper conveyed his will.

Why are you playing such pranks, Mom?

Well… because it’s fun.

The Black Reaper nodded and slowly walked towards the black mucus.

Watch closely, Mom!

As the Black Reaper trudged towards the black mucus, it turned to me and conveyed its will.

It wanted me to watch closely.

“?”

The Black Reaper looked solemn and scared for some reason.

Stop!

I urgently conveyed my will, but the Black Reaper had already knelt before the mucus and put its trembling fingers into it.

Gurgle-!

Then, the black reaper began to melt. Starting from its fingertips, the black mucus gradually crept into its body and melted it. At the same time, the Black Reaper fell to the ground like a doll which had its strings cut.

I was so startled that I ran and hugged the Black Reaper.

!

The Black Reaper opened its eyes slightly as if it were dying and let out a small sound.

Squeak-!

Now that you know how harmful it was, you shouldn’t play pranks with it, Mom.

At the same time, I could feel a faint will coming from it.

I’m sorry! I won’t do it anymore!

In a situation which was more urgent than I expected, I kept apologizing while throwing firewood into it.

Even though the black mucus couldn’t affect the Golden Reapers, it turned out to be fatal for the Black Reapers.

I thought all my children were immune to it, but maybe it was just me and the Golden Reaper who were special?

I’m sorry! Don’t die!

After some time passed as I kept injecting firewood to fill the Black Reaper’s body hundreds of times, one of the arms that had disappeared slowly began to regenerate.

Ha… Thank goodness.

I thought so as I slowly stroked the Black Reaper’s head, who was soundly sleeping.

It must have hurt a lot…

Black mucus really needs to disappear from this world!

Even though half of it was my fault, the fact that such a harmful substance existed on Earth was simply a problem.

I summoned a black sphere with my anger and started destroying the black mucus. The smooth black mucus was sucked into the black sphere like liquid being sucked into a water hole, and its very existence disappeared soon after.

Each particle of the evil mucus was broken down by the power of the black sphere and evaporated, leaving no trace of its existence or remnants of its malice.

I looked back at the cleaned-up Gwanak-gu while caressing the Black Reaper in my arms.

We shouldn’t leave such harmful substances behind for our children!

*********The Gangnam-gu situation was considered quite serious by the association.

A sinkhole of unknown origin?

It was a phenomenon reminiscent of what Gray Reaper had done.

Although the Sehee Research Institute submitted a report stating that the Gray Reaper had never escaped from their institute, an auditor from the association was still dispatched to confirm the fact.

However, the auditor was very dissatisfied with her current situation.

Even sending an audit team would be insufficient, why were they sending only one?

“Ha… Since I’d already been ordered, I have to check it.”

The auditor, dressed in a neat women’s suit, let out her frustration and got off at the Sehee Research Institute parking lot. She then stood at the entrance to the Sehee Research Institute and took out a large piece of equipment.

It was an equipment to measure the existence of mind corruption that the Association had only a few of. However, It was so old that it couldn’t measure how severe the corruption was.

Beep-!

A beeping sound rang out from the equipment’s old speaker, and a red light attacked to it and blinked.

There’s a mind corruption spreading here.

As soon as the auditor from the Association confirmed that there was mind corruption ability in the research institute, she took out a mind corruption blocking helmet and put it on.

I haven’t even entered the research institute yet, but I already have to be careful because there’s mind corruption spreading here.

The auditor judged that the mind corruption seemed more serious than she thought.

Surely the research institute itself isn’t being taken over by the ‘Gray Reaper’ right?

As the auditor walked toward the main gate of Sehee Research Institute while wearing the helmet, Director Lee Sehee, the director of Sehee Research Institute, welcomed her. A conversation went back and forth between Director Sehee and her, but she couldn’t focus on the conversation at all.

After all, a warm scent of warm sunlight was tickling her nose. It was a scent that instantly made her happy and relaxed.

Sehee smiled meaningfully as she watched the auditor who couldn’t focus on the conversation at all. When she moved her gaze away from the auditor, she found Oh Yerin was hiding. She was holding a large amount of Golden Reapers in her arms, more than she could possibly hold.

The auditor slowly read the records Sehee had handed over and walked toward the containment room of the Gray Reaper.

The data is all fake.

Even if they had roughly prepared this data this morning, it was so sloppy that it would make no sense for her to believe it.

“The Gray Reaper is in its containment room.”

Plop-! Plop-!

When the auditor raised her head at Sehee’s voice, he could see the Gray Reaper walking around the containment room, smiling happily.

“Hmm.”

It really looked like the Gray Reaper. However, instead of a blank expression that made it seem indifferent to the world, it had a cheerful expression. On top of it, it also had sharp shark teeth that had never been reported before.

In other words, it looked similar, but it wasn’t the Gray Reaper.

I have to report it quickly.

Even though she was wearing a mind corruption blocking helmet, she was still getting dizzy.

Since dizziness and headaches often occurred when someone tried to resist mind corruption, she had to report it quickly.

The auditor tried to take out her cell phone, but the dizziness was so unbearable that she dropped it.

Oh no.

As the world seemed to spin around, she lowered his head to pick up the cell phone. At that moment, something small and cute was holding her cell phone and handing it to her.

It was an Object that resembled the Gray Reaper. However, instead of dull grey, it had golden-colored skin and was as bright as the sun.

Ah, so this is the Golden Reaper.

As she picked up the phone with her trembling hands, the Golden Reaper patted her fingers with concern. It had a sad expression on its face, as if it was worried about a close friend or family member who was sick.

Seeing the expression that seemed to be asking, ‘Are you okay?’, the auditor forced herself to open her mouth.

I’m fine. I’ll be okay once I rest a little.

The auditor smiled faintly at the Golden Reaper and patted the Golden Reaper.

The Golden Reaper smiled happily, probably liking the feel of the auditor’s fingers. It even grabbed her finger and rubbed it against its cheek as if marking its territory.

It’s definitely cute. It’s no surprise that it’s popular.

The auditor placed the Golden Reaper on her palm and opened her mouth again.

“Wait a minute. I’ll make a phone call and play with you again.”

Upon hearing that, the Golden Reaper sat down on her palm with a sullen expression.

The moment she saw that expression, her irritating headache suddenly disappeared.

Feeling refreshed and happy, the auditor thought.

Well, I can just make the report later. First, I have to play with the ‘Golden Reaper’.

When the auditor took off her helmet, the Golden Reaper ran towards her with a bright expression and clung to her cheek.

The auditor felt like she was having the happiest time since she was born and accepted the Golden Reaper cuteness.

However, it was not just those two who were happy. Sehee was happy too.

*********In the Garden of the Mini Reaper, which was covered with fluffy marshmallow land, a Golden Reaper was jumping around with a happy expression.

Perhaps because of how noisy the Golden Reaper was, the white fur that had been gathered in a round shape began to fall apart.

What looked like a white fur ball was actually curly and fluffy hair.

Unlike the other mini reapers, the abundant hair spread out in all directions, revealing the body of the orange reaper.

Big youngest!

The Golden Reaper looked up at the Orange Reaper and sent a blast of joyful emotions in all directions.

The Orange Reaper looked quite different from the Golden Reaper. It was about a head taller than the Golden Reaper while its body curves looked much more mature.

The Orange Reaper walked slowly toward the Golden Reaper and hugged it tightly. With a happy heart, it hugged it tightly.

Then, the hair began to close again, gently wrapping around the Golden Reaper and the Orange Reaper.

And then it began to float up, just like the furball that the Golden Reaper first discovered.

As it floated high enough to touch the Unchangeable Sphere floating high in the sky, the Golden Reaper’s face popped out from the furball and smiled brightly.

The Golden Reaper, who had jumped and shot to the sky before, smiled brightly with a truly joyful expression. After all, it was its first time flying in the sky.
