Yoon Seoho combed through every single alley nearby as if searching for a lost needle.
But when he couldn’t find it easily, his anxiety reached its peak.
Standing in an empty alley, he shouted, spat out curses, paced around like a madman, and felt uneasy.
It was to the point where he couldn’t even understand himself.
Even though Yoon Seoho thought he was extremely strange, he did not stop wandering around looking for it.
“Fuck, fuck!”
Had he ever thrown out his emotions so violently before?
He had never lost his composure like this, but no matter what he did, it was difficult to maintain his sanity.
The brick wall Yoon Seoho grabbed soon crumbled down into pieces.
It was due to his body which was extremely developed as an S-rank.
“You, fucking…!”
Yoon Seoho, who was screaming curses, suddenly froze.
A tiny sound of breathing that he couldn’t hear earlier drifted into his ears.
It was very small and faint.
A breath that wouldn’t be strange if it cut off right this moment wrapped around Yoon Seoho’s mind.
It’s over there.
Yoon Seoho began to sprint like a crazy person.
The sound of his footsteps echoed loudly in the silent alley.
“Haa, haa.”
Yoon Seoho, who had never run out of breath once since awakening as an Esper, panted heavily.
The sound of his blatant panting made a harsh discord with his chaotic footsteps.
Finally, the moment he turned the corner and arrived at the source of the sound.
“…Ha.”
Yoon Seoho felt a shiver run through his entire body.
A sensation he had never tasted before sharpened his five senses sensitively.
A sensation so distant and massive, as if he were trapped alone in the universe, soaked his entire body.
It felt as if something indefinable had opened its mouth and swallowed his body in an instant.
“Ha, what is this… Huh?”
Yoon Seoho looked down at his trembling body.
He couldn’t calm down at all.
No matter what kind of drugs he had tried, he had never felt this kind of mood.
Compared to the current feeling, drugs were just mere chemical substances.
But what on earth was this sensation? What is this?
“Fuck, what is this. Huh? What are you. What are you!”
Someone collapsed on the ground came into Yoon Seoho’s sight.
A certain figure lying on the dirty street, letting out a thin breath.
He hadn’t taken his eyes off that figure from the moment he arrived here.
No, he couldn’t take them off.
Wasn’t that fragile and beautiful figure, like a withering flower, telling him that it was the answer?
Telling him that this figure was exactly what he had been wandering around searching for.
Is this what a divine revelation feels like?
Yoon Seoho was captured by the sensation that an entity he didn’t believe in actually existed right now.
Every cell in his body was screaming that he needed that.
As if the very reason he was born was for that thing.
‘Crack, snap.’
The moment Yoon Seoho took a step closer to it, a cracking sound was heard.
As he slowly lowered his gaze, he saw cracks forming on the surface of the watch on his wrist.
A shiver ran through him once again at the number displayed on the screen visible between the cracks.
「Measured Level: 0%」
“Ha, haha…”
A hollow laugh escaped Yoon Seoho’s mouth.
It wasn’t because he felt empty.
It was a laugh that blended the rush of excitement and joy of finally finding it.
That is mine.
The only thing that belongs to me, found before any other Esper.
Taking one more step closer, Yoon Seoho finally reached out his hand.
The moment his fingertips touched the figure, Yoon Seoho suddenly lost consciousness from extreme ecstasy before barely snapping back.
“Haa, fuck, ha…”
Am I even breathing right now?
Yoon Seoho even doubted whether he was alive.
He couldn’t distinguish whether he was in heaven or hell.
It was ambiguous whether the person he caught held an angel or a devil.
Was it an entity that came to drag him down to hell?
Or was it an angel that came to save him?
If it wasn’t either of those, then maybe…
“My god.”
Yoon Seoho muttered without realizing it.
The entity in front of his eyes was ‘God’ itself.
There was no way this could be a human.
This is a human?
No, it couldn’t be.
It was definitely an entity that came down to earth directly to save him, who was living pointlessly because he couldn’t handle the boredom.
With such a precarious and fragile body.
Yes, it was definitely an entity that came to meet him.
That must be why it appeared in front of his eyes on its own.
Yoon Seoho completely forgot the fact that he had searched for and found this figure himself, deeply lost in his own delusion.
He tightly bound the fragile figure.
As he locked it in his arms and lifted it up, a white and slender wrist dropped downward.
Seeing the closed eyes made his heart sink.
He urgently checked the condition of the person in his arms.
Putting his ear close to the pale pink lips, a faint breath could be felt.
It seemed that it had faced restrictions because it hurried down to earth from the heavens. Yoon Seoho, still trapped in his delusion, took the unconscious face into his eyes.
The body was a mess with bruises and scratches, but the face was perfectly intact like a lie.
A noble and holy appearance that looked as if nothing had ever touched it in its entire life grabbed Yoon Seoho’s attention.
It was on a completely different level from the people with pretty faces that Yoon Seoho had seen countless times.
It was an entity whose face clearly revealed a feeling that didn’t seem human.
Something beyond beauty was deeply settled on that face.
Yes, his thought was right after all.
There was no way a person with this kind of face could be human.
Yoon Seoho hugged the figure in his arms even tighter.
The hands binding it were incredibly sticky like a spiderweb.
The person trapped in Yoon Seoho’s arms didn’t make a single movement.
They were as quiet as a doll, as if their consciousness had sunk deeply.
He checked once again if the entity in his arms was breathing.
Placing his hand over the heart, he felt a faint beating pulse.
“Yes, you shouldn’t die easily. After coming all the way down to meet me.”
Lowering his head, Yoon Seoho whispered secretly into the figure’s ear.
A voice laced with dark obsession quietly echoed in the alley.
A glittering gleam in his eyes slowly swept down the entity in his arms.
Like a beast that had gotten its hands on the prey it had craved so much.
“Since you are a noble entity who made a difficult journey, I must treat you accordingly. Right, huh?”
Yoon Seoho’s eyes curved sinisterly.
He had already finished calculating in his head how he would control the entity trapped in his arms.
Since it came down to earth in an imperfect state, its mind would obviously not be fully intact either.
So there was a high probability it would be in a blank, innocent state.
Rather, wasn’t that better?
The corner of Yoon Seoho’s mouth curled up.
He reached out one hand and grabbed the deer-like long, slender neck without hurting it.
In that state, he lowered his head and brought his lips to the pink lips.
The moment their breaths touched, a massive sensation rushed in, causing Yoon Seoho to let out a deep breath.
His crotch, which had been heavy from the extreme ecstasy since he arrived here, swelled even more.
He wanted to take this sweet body right this moment.
It was clearly a messy appearance, but the tip of his nose was filled with sweetness.
Perhaps because it wasn’t human, even the smell was ecstatic.
Yoon Seoho, who thickly wrapped his tongue around the plump tongue hidden secretly inside, curled up the corners of his mouth.
He couldn’t control his body from the rushing joy.
Is this what it feels like to be alive?
It was unbelievable that he, who used to be numb and bored with everything, could feel this emotion so vividly.
Yoon Seoho straightened his bent back and stood up from his spot.
In his arms, the beautiful figure was still hanging limply without consciousness.
Hugging the figure in his arms tightly once more, Yoon Seoho slowly moved his steps.
Heading toward his sanctuary, which would become a cozy cage from which one could never escape forever.
