The road to the afterlife
PROLOGUE
My wrist is swollen with red liquid and a red line. But it's my wrist...
It was disgusting.
No, I guess it would be correct to say that it was a clear victory.
My wrist was really hurting.
It must have been the last SOS I had requested to survive in this tattered world.
I was hoping someone would notice, but no one does.
Oh, my head hurts. I feel like I'm losing feeling in my arms.
I feel like my eyes are closing too.
현여주
Goodbye, dirty, rotten world.
....
.....?
Am I not dead?
What is this place? It's so dark.
현여주
Damn it... I'm not dead this time either? I thought my body was finally dying.
민윤기
I finally opened my eyes
현여주
What the fuck!
That strange man popped out of nowhere. The force was no joke. What the... Am I not dead?
민윤기
You are dead.
현여주
.. No, if I were dead, I wouldn't be able to talk and move like this.
Oh, the self-harm marks on my wrists are gone.
What the... reincarnation? No, there's no way that could happen.
민윤기
This is the afterlife.
현여주
What the... Don't talk nonsense
민윤기
The self-harm marks on your wrists are gone.
현여주
yes
민윤기
That's the proof. Civilians who voluntarily die are summoned to the afterlife with their suicide marks gone.
Summoning... the afterlife... what is this? Am I dead after all?
현여주
Am I dead?
민윤기
That's right
현여주
Wow... that's a relief
민윤기
.... I don't understand why death is a blessing. Was I so devoid of any regrets about life?
현여주
Who are you, sir? You've been speaking informally to me for a while now. Do you know me?
Honestly, I don't like it. He's been talking informally and squeaking to strangers ever since.
민윤기
I died at the age of 26 in human age. I've already lived for 200 more years in the afterlife.
현여주
.... 226 years old.. Wow, I'm quite old.
민윤기
You're 19. You're much older than me, having only been in the afterlife for about five minutes.
현여주
ah....
Anyway... I'm glad I never have to face that dirty world again.
