TO BE or NOT TO BE: The Inevitable Choice
The path the choice leads to



건희🌪
Sigh...here again..?


???
Hahaha, this curse will never be lifted.


건희🌪
Huh? Don't talk nonsense.


건희🌪
Do you think I, a wizard, wouldn't know that there's a way to break a curse?!


???
Do you really think this curse will ever be lifted?


???
Well, that depends on how you think about it.


???
By the way, now is the time to choose.


???
Is it the death of people, or-


건희🌪
-What are you asking?


건희🌪
Of course...then I'll become a vampire.


???
Hahaha!!!


???
Are all the sons of the sun this stupid?


건희🌪
Are you cursing the sun god Helios now?


???
Helios...ha! You guys still believe in that god?


???
How foolish. It was Helios who turned a blind eye to this curse in the first place... Hehehe.


건희🌪
What? Ugh-!!

A pain as if my flesh was being torn apart spread throughout my body.


???
You'll find out later anyway.


???
Okay, now that I'm half-vampire, I have a question.


???
TO BE and not drink blood as vampires


???
Blood-drinking NOT TO BE.


???
There are two options.


???
What will you choose?


건희🌪
Ugh! Gasp...huh-


건희🌪
I...I...ugh!


건희🌪
'「I need blood... blood-!!!!!」'

The vampire's screaming voice rang in Geon-hee's head.


건희🌪
No... no... ugh!


건희🌪
'You must choose NOT To BE!'


건희🌪
That can't be...


건희🌪
I will choose To.....BE-

Bam.

Before Geon-hee could even finish speaking, he lost consciousness.


건희🌪
Ah~ Really. You don't understand even when I say it like that?


???
TO BE... I wonder if I can maintain that choice.


건희🌪
Haha! Then I guess I'll be going now.

The image of Geon-hee, who had become a vampire, disappeared.


???
Hmm - then let's go somewhere else.


시온🏞
Here...when should I come...?


???
Until the curse is lifted.


???
But it would be better not to even dream.


???
Because this curse is not one that can be easily broken.


시온🏞
Who the hell are you?


시온🏞
I can't even see you. I can only hear your voice...


???
You don't know, just choose.


시온🏞
Stop asking. The answer is obvious anyway, so you keep asking me to choose!


???
Yeah, a vampire.


???
Hehe, who would say he's the son of Helios?


시온🏞
what?


???
Helios was like that too.


???
He always says he'll take responsibility...hahaha!


???
But you don't even show up in front of me like a coward?


???
Do you still feel sorry now... Heh heh.


시온🏞
What the- ugh! Huh-huh-

A pain that felt like it was squeezing my heart and lungs struck my whole body.


???
We'll meet again someday, Helios.


시온🏞
What...what...


???
My sons are under a curse, and given their personalities, I guess it'll come to pass someday.


???
And you are given one more choice.


???
TO BE who does not drink blood after turning into a vampire


???
Blood-eating NOT TO BE.


???
Which one would you choose?


시온🏞
Cough...huh-!!


시온🏞
"You have to drink blood! Or you'll die!"


시온🏞
Gasp... gasp...


시온🏞
I... I...

The moment Zion opened his mouth, breathing heavily-

Bam.

-Reason fell asleep just like that.


???
Huh? Is this the first time something like this has happened?


시온🏞
Haha, I won.


시온🏞
My answer is-

Zion, who had become a vampire, said with a sly smile.


시온🏞
-NOT TO BE.
