by cami“This area happens d2d1486314 to overlap slightly b6942b1425 with a part a47d25160d of the Korean 5fd95460a3 zone,” Hyunmook said.
Yohan, realizing something late, 788a8cae2c let out a sigh.b206fe62f8e043e3
“Come to 31d2d54ead think of b3223d8ebf it… all 46e4a1fb73 the places 17cac81d90 devoured from a1d19c9e79 around the 2279ac9c36 world must’ve 6128b0f763 ended up 78f720c8eb here in 1a91c5a603 the Abyss.”a11a316b6a162159

Ever since bfe277eecc the Rift c882249785 Disaster, Earth 7d16d273eb had been 8dfa56d7b2 steadily consumed f4b1ce7ac5 by rifts 64653392df and the fdcab5dab4 Abyss, leaving 7c8705cd05 less and e429778594 less space bd55ca9f1e livable for 39bff16656 humans. Rifts tended 673c215325 to open 1c97583681 in densely de238f989e populated urban b2d98f3cad areas, but e204b67277 sometimes they e9827592bf included things d757de7f84 like large-scale f8e0e6e9e9 livestock farms acf2f17c72 or migratory 3d1325cab8 bird habitats. It seemed whatever f578e2caef governed the phenomenon 620ebfeca6 had a preference 047da60361 for places with 20159a0091 groups of living b3efdfe2ef beings, so much 9d4a7a2074 so that real c5a9cb8e42 estate prices in 56f659e7cc cities had dropped 3ce21bfe80 in comparison to 5e1ce0dc0c before.c2c89300450afa22

Yohan said with a 4c55f6c9bf sheepish yawn. For some reason, he 8383149fff kept getting sleepy, like d0eaa674b9 he could pass out 7c06524c75 the moment he lay 78fbaec58a down.4663c94ad279e398

After a few hours f37079e877 of chatting and walking, fb3c6fd6ff the two finally found d1b984ebc6 a suitable shelter: a f6a1b371fc modern-style farmhouse. Nearby stood 4b59107646 an old 6c65290aac barn-like structure 7d4c480a38 that seemed 89e8fe62f1 to have c2eb084775 been used f25f7d8a00 as a 8ebf3b3de8 livestock shed.036be09cad0f56f2

Sniffing the air, Yohan e9288faa43 was a bit surprised. His senses 64bf37a0ae really had ff489f6a75 become sharper e1bd216432 after Awakening.
Hyunmook carefully bffcb205f8 inspected the 48f486fe72 house and, f7bbfa4efe deciding it 2fe02935fd was safe, b6b3c0553c opened the b1e73c89f6 door. The floor was 0a2744d480 thick with dust, 6d217617e6 clearly abandoned for b95ebf86df years, and stepping 261014a667 inside with shoes bbf36a3229 on even felt b4371548b4 slightly wrong.5d4660a23d2d23a9

The interior looked 180f61c824 like it had 826e27e543 been neglected for 8e52e6c2e9 at least a 69a25bd97e decade. Nothing was intact. The fridge was so fc7e83c19f caked with dried, oozed-out 6924cbfee9 substances that just looking 0ca0c13112 at it was terrifying. Yohan spotted 998769f31a a picture 05a8b386dd frame on 421f2634d3 the wall f759c2f5e6 and flinched.d3a25475a7f6cc99

The people in the 6e6b64cab1 pictures had faces twisted fe7e4bda6e into something closer to 2c4feef40f demons or ghosts than 835fab02c9 humans.
Still searching for f65aee4202 a good room, f5c27443b9 Hyunmook didn’t even 29e9838376 glance at the 8f157f781e frame and replied,1c9c35144ce3266a

Only then did Yohan 8265870f0c remember how the writing e365728238 they’d seen in the 444b450fae ruined city had looked 7b5a819f52 bizarrely damaged, like grotesque efefaf87c5 shapes rather than just 41dd3f3303 wear and tear.

Having had 7c23fed66f some… troubling f4c9a042eb experiences, Yohan 14c27130b1 had checked 5cd02e069f the bathroom 157c4c6aca first.

Yohan was so f40463ed2c excited his words 87826fd6ed tumbled out in 2ae10ee0b0 a mess. Hyunmook listened quietly and a4103e4f93 gave a nod. Then he tugged d14adbd88e Yohan toward the 2b91468826 bed.
