Second life

Episode 4

지민

Is that the light that comes out when you call from above?

나연

Then where should I go?

지민

Let's go together first - are you all going?

모두

yep

주현

If anything happens, call me right away, Nayeon-

나연

huh!

After saying hello to Joohyun, I teleported somewhere with the seven grim reapers.

The place I arrived at was the very bottom floor of the building I first came to after I died.

태형

It's been a really long time since I've been here!

윤기

I think it's been over 10 years since I came here lol

나연

Where is this place?

석진

These people are just office workers, and if you go to the other end, there is King Yeomra.

석진

Originally, to become a grim reaper, you had to meet him once.

나연

My heart is pounding!!

I barely managed to calm my pounding heart and walked down the seemingly endlessly long hallway.

I walked and walked until I arrived in front of a large door.

정국

From here on out, you have to go alone, sister.

남준

Because we all did it haha

나연

Okay! See you later.

모두

huh-

Leaving behind the seven people who greeted me with smiles, I opened the door, which looked very old, with difficulty, and heard a creaking sound.

I closed the door so as not to make a loud noise and walked down the hallway again.

Just when I was starting to feel tired, I vaguely saw someone sitting on a large chair in front of me.

I stood in front of him, thinking that he must be King Yeomra.

As soon as I stopped walking, the chair that had been turned around turned towards me.

I was startled the moment I saw the face of the person sitting there, my eyes raised as the chair turned.

나연

?!

염라대왕

You're surprised to see me too.

나연

Uh, how..

염라대왕

Well, whether it was 100 years ago or 1000 years ago, the stereotype that the king is a man is the same.

나연

But why did you call me?

염라대왕

Since you are the only female soul to become the Grim Reaper, it is true that you want to see me once, but it is traditional for the prospective Grim Reaper to meet me once.

나연

As a woman myself, I'm proud of the fact that the highest ranking woman in the underworld is a woman.

염라대왕

Thank you

염라대왕

Ah. If you ever get tired of being a grim reaper, bring the seven of you and that kid, Juhyun?, and let us live together.

나연

Why such special treatment...?

염라대왕

You'll find out in a month - by the way, where are those guys who will educate you?

As she waved her hand in the air a few times, the seven figures waiting for me on the old door leaf appeared on TV.

염라대왕

I've been waiting for you-.

나연

thank god.

But you have a lot of sadness on your face. Did you never find true love while you were alive?

나연

(Nod) He's not called King Yeomra for nothing.

염라대왕

Don't worry! You'll have a new life in the afterlife.

나연

But I have a question. Even when you get older, will you still look the same in the afterlife as you did when you died?

염라대왕

Most of the time, yes... Okay, it's time to go back! I'll give you this ring as a gift, so wear it always.

나연

thank you-

I nodded to her and went back, but somehow I felt good and a smile escaped my lips.

So I thought that since I was living an unhappy life in this world, I might as well live happily in the afterlife.

But even in this world, conspiracies existed.

I have to go to school, study, and other busy things, so I decided on a publishing cycle.
