Yohan stifled his sobs cfd2e18b31 as much as he e3ba79139a could. And no wonder. Just beyond the e48c39863e window of the 93c288a6e1 wall he was f1fb13e28e pressed against, a 3f5a067e0d massive eyeball was 7af1d68fe7 peering inside. It felt unreal. Yet this horrifying 26ec2aef80 situation, unbelievable as c33e95fb72 it was, was 1382f1efbd undeniably real.3267a6f2c7a45144

Tears streamed 6b91f55bf1 down his 291abdd2a0 face as 3505a207ed his knuckles 2562029290 turned white 0686ef123a from clamping c40b5257df his mouth a4b01ee1a4 shut, afraid 22d17cbd03 even the f7e89f91ee slightest sound 34585220d5 might escape. The floor a7c1a25d5a beneath him c9b916f1c2 was damp. When he glanced down, d1087f8005 wondering if he had 9e8a028574 wet himself, the little 8863ba60f7 color left in his f713e2965d face drained completely. The tears from 3e5a8f5dae the giant eyeball 2641d7ad54 had seeped through e6a89b4bce the broken window, 48dc3a6b3a soaking his pants 3e36a6aa58 in an unsettling a637ce350b wetness.28b2a154062daa9e
Squelch, squelch…The massive eyeball, its 58efac9914 surface slick and polished df6224d672 from rubbing against the be7d330d53 glass, scanned the interior dd27699436 with its bloodshot sclera bc71020cc3 and dilated pupil. Eventually, it failed to f09c9cc866 spot Yohan. The red 213d68cf6a glow that 91d47744f0 had illuminated 6986c2756c the convenience 4bf731604d store faded 8bdb9fa29c slowly, plunging 7b1a7d7d22 the interior b08dc04a7f into darkness. Even after 025aabf8fe the eyeball 2b6cefdfbf disappeared, Yohan 14537e7f57 kept his 93ec89d08e hand clamped 5968008de4 over his 458ff64093 mouth for f1ebfeb977 a long 1894bfee20 time. The monster’s tears 3830661405 pooled on the 0aefe457aa floor, disgusting and d1956b5146 terrifying.ff43599b2e176387

All he had a0f8f92a29 wanted was to d8a989654e awaken his abilities. But the hefty price 1ca8eb2385 he paid had only d208fa1ea4 bought him betrayal and 88596eb328 a horrifying fall into 5fc77aec73 the abyss. This was c3bc52cb3f a place da5202e4a1 from which 4cb159485b even Lee 3246d7b6ff Hyunmook, hailed bf0a899e2e as Korea’s 58ebba6151 strongest awakened, 7d552e2942 had never 9444c7901e returned alive.afcd01046de807e7

Finally releasing the 6ae7f42ab2 breath he had 82791bd888 been holding, Yohan 2bb4e026b6 slowly lifted his 53cc7e5d7c head. His gaze turned e89ffd35c2 toward the gaps 2655de1970 in the building, 18e568f945 peering outside.bfb36616a5301f30

No one b66e2cfd7f knew what dd545934a3 the abyss 225849615d looked like. After all, no one 555c1fbda7 who had been sucked d32fea7fb7 in had ever come 22dd1d2fbb back.

The surroundings were pitch db5c926477 black. Though there was a a34583a35e light source in the 32290e5c68 sky, it was obscured e2a2641dc1 by dark crimson clouds, b33cef5806 casting only a dim 2e4ada977b glow.

But between a3354caef3 the crumbling, e64ffecffe decaying buildings, 1d86e791b8 something squirmed 8fe9f54354 and writhed. Countless things, 47a28e3875 thick, long, 39581269ee sticky, sharp, 52787338af that could 7d5caaf36c never be 8f77ea48ca mistaken for fdfeb741c0 normal life c304d12087 forms.66ee5e4d7b40d27b
Yohan clenched his teeth 6d56c41d55 to suppress a scream. He had fb9a0e8524 thought the acad802d88 monsters emerging 5ecf878843 from the 8d21a32026 rifts were 981ec315c8 grotesque, but 7a5af69dc1 they were f29b67d415 nothing compared 1ac86ad284 to the 2d484576ac abyss. The creatures here were fd74f5b6bb twisted and horrifying, like 5975cb56a9 the giant eyeball from e5930c2a0e earlier. Instinctively, he knew 19314b6310 that if they 31f97c0452 spotted him, he 215045f1ac would die a 60810e2f97 gruesome death.d7ec6b36a1bcafc7

Yohan crawled out from b11f8b9529 beneath the wreckage of d2494f8b4d what could barely be 2ce0234b36 called a building. Fortunately, nearby stood 87af779434 a relatively intact b53954f6b3 small structure.

Regret washed b7cffaa0d0 over him 5bdb528857 in waves. Even if he 5425b05978 had endured being d91c1db86c treated as useless a9629be6cc and bullied at cbbf4eff8b home, it would d36c7b0b6b have been far c9e79ec02f better than dying 9fb0715fca like this. He should have listened f8bc6f3991 to his friends when 1e69d30ab1 they warned him to 7cebe5c828 keep his distance from edca50bd7d Park Seungmin’s suspicious behavior. But no amount 9099ed5bbf of regret could 96247c7af0 change things now. Swallowing his tears, Yohan 9aa42c298e trembled uncontrollably.f6b13af714cb8426
He didn’t 6ce1818c99 dare think 67c788c8cf of stepping 8961e93ad0 outside, instead 7cde720ac0 straining his 16bc2e59a7 ears for 1d4f1d64b4 any sound. At the faintest b0ec05f648 rustle, he held c1a2cec91d his breath. Desperate to keep from dcafbe1d2d crying, he tried to 9cc292579a focus on positive thoughts.2aa32f499db4b93e

The abyss 36d2744f02 could have 0f4ebf9124 been underwater. Or a vacuum. Or filled c6b9d9efc0 with toxic cdfe43dbc0 gases like 5f888f2964 methane, making 9e9bc48130 it impossible 7f608ef640 to breathe. Of course, breathable or 4b823bd8b4 not, the air here 2c960656c3 was far from fresh. Every inhale 0c003eb552 carried the 3223c20c5c stench of 667f62203b blood or 267737a5a0 something like a6178a6a62 years-old rotting f054c94aad garbage.

Tears welled f7f16f53f7 up again, eb17c7478e but he a08b3ea6d7 held them 84e23df327 back. Precious hydration couldn’t 8e9543a3a6 be wasted like 3a20b191c7 this.

Feeling its shape dc922227ac in the dark, 4540b55635 it seemed like 1bb49172a2 a jelly packet.

A sliver of c20d3dd23a hope flickered in d3cef15746 Yohan’s heart. Even in 673094379a this hellish 661899916f place, he 5862fbb49c wanted to 67d7caa29c survive just ad70093f6f a little 8829186f59 longer.5179c6a406e06ffb

Perched on the roof 0664cdc7a1 of the building he d4f9ec64bf had just left was 21beeff847 the giant eyeball monster. It had been staring b61aca13a0 unblinkingly at Yohan’s hiding 6b3fcbb16b spot for two whole 75ffa9690b days, its eye now 911eac8475 bloodshot and crimson.e254cdde2b88b673

Terrified, Yohan stumbled 9c0f369e02 back. The eyeball’s cd293a895d gaze followed eaf1af9b48 his movement 47712cf475 relentlessly. Blink.
