Seoul Object Story

After dealing with the Blue Moon and leaving the cave, the lake was still the same. It was as quiet, clean, and mysterious as before.

In fact, the lake itself was such a nonsensical phenomenon that I thought it would naturally disappear once the Blue Moon was destroyed.

Either the water level could no longer be maintained and dried out,

Or...

The clean lake became polluted as the submerged city rusted and decayed.

However, neither happened.

What happened was that the ownership of the lake was transferred to me.

Yangcheon-gu Lake maintained its original appearance and became mine.

I also inherited the mind corruption ability that made Objects and the lake always ordinary to the eyes of humans. But, it had deteriorated to the point where it was hardly noticeable.

The Blue Reapers seemed elated to have a lake.

The energetic Blue Reapers asked me to entrust them with the management of the lake, and when I told them they should do what they wanted, they looked very happy.

The Blue Reapers were already gathered and divided their respective areas.

Why do they like it so much?

Was it just because the lake is nice?

In the end, I gained two abilities from defeating Blue Moon.

It was a mind corruption ability and an ability to control an area at will, just like the garden.

As dawn was already approaching, the sky was starting to turn blue.

Now that the incident was over, I brought the cruise ship carrying the people from Sehee Research Institute which had been evacuated to the garden back onto the lake.

It smelled a little like hot chocolate, but I guess it should be no problem.

Before long, the blue light of dawn began to illuminate the people scattered around the ship.

I could see them sleeping in various positions, disheveled and crooked, as if they had fallen asleep after a fun party.

Now that I think about it, a lot of time has passed. They must be really hungry now.

But when I looked at the people's complexions, they seemed pretty fine.

Did the mini reapers continue to take care of them?

The Golden Reapers probably fed them hot chocolate, or perhaps the Blue Reaper did something with their magic.

As the sun grew stronger, casting a warm golden light across the deck, the researchers began to wake up one by one.

Sehee, who was lying in the center of the deck, woke up and mumbled.

“Keuuu. It’s morning already? When did I fall asleep?”

Sehee, who stretched her body in order to shake off the sleepiness, seemed a little taken aback as she looked at the lake which was shining brightly due to the sunlight.

Sehee, who looked a little sleepy, took out her cell phone from her pocket, checked it, and shouted in surprise with an expression that clearly told she had completely woken up.

“What happened? Why did time suddenly pass like this?”

Perhaps because so much time had passed since the last time she was awake, Sehee seemed quite surprised.

Sehee believed that the accident was caused by an Object and quickly ordered Kim Jungrwi to take care of the people's safety.

“No one was hurt or missing. Luckily, it looks like we just fell asleep.”

“Ha, I’m so glad. There’s nothing more troublesome than coming to a place to visit and having an accident.”

Perhaps due to the fact that time had suddenly passed, the deck was becoming more and more cluttered.

Probably because no one was hurt, the mood of the people was not that bad.

“Reaper, I thought we’re going to have fun together at the lake, but time passed so quickly!”

Yerin said so as she looked a little depressed, perhaps sad that the vacation was ruined.

Even though Yerin had just experienced an Object related incident, she still remained the same.

The group couldn’t come to a conclusion between two conflicting opinions of whether they should make the most of the remaining time since they could do nothing about it and they should quickly return to the institute because it was dangerous here.

However, the one who concluded it came from a completely unexpected direction.

“You are from Sehee Research Institute, right? We are from the Object Association. We need to investigate the Yangcheon-gu Lake incident, so please cooperate.”

Everyone, including Sehee, was taken away by the association's investigators.

I looked at Yerin, who looked particularly sad, from my simple containment room, and grabbed a piece of pudding and ate it.

Since it looked like everyone would be late, I should return to Sehee Research Institute first.

Hihihi!

*******

[ More than 780 deaths have been confirmed in Yangcheon-gu Lake. Including the missing people who have not even been properly counted, it is expected that there would be thousands of victims. ]

The TV in the security room of Sehee Research Institute was randomly talking about the Yangcheon-gu Lake incident as breaking news.

It was natural.

Right now, the whole of Korea was in a state as if they had woken up after falling into hypnosis.

It felt as if the whole of Korea was dreaming.

It was something which was hard to understand now that they thought about it.

< everyone="" living="" in="" korea="" wanted="" to="" go="" to="" yangcheon-gu="" lake.="">

< Everyone living in Korea loved Yangcheon-gu Lake. >

< As long as it was related to an Object, no one would found it strange no matter what happened. >

How scary it was that everyone thought the same thing.

[ If you look here, there are a lot of empty ships. The joyful traces that were left behind make my heart ache eveen more. ]

The security office employees who were watching a broadcast showing the interior of the cabin, which was empty although traces of the party remained, spoke.

“To think they wanted to go to such a dangerous lake. Should I say it’s fortunate that I didn’t go?”

“Of course we are fortunate. I heard there were a lot of people who died this time. Even though the employees of our institute seemed to be fine, It was still scary.”

The security guard, who was chewing potato chips while watching TV, suddenly asked a question.

“Now that I think about it, it was strange. Don’t you find it strange too, sunbae?”

"About what?"

The security office employee frowned and said, as if he was scared just thinking about it.

“What do you think you will do when you return to your one-room apartment, take a shower, and all of your laundry were suddenly cleaned? For me, I think I’d probably start screaming, call the police, and sleep at my friend’s house.”

“If it were me, I’d take a baseball bat and search the room.”

“Right? It’s normal to be very scared, right?”

The security room employee continued to spoke while searching through his cell phone.

“In that respect, there’s something good about the ‘Yangcheon-gu Lake Incident.’ right?”

“Something good?”

“Think about it. Now that we know what the Blue Reaper does, we found it cute and not scary. What if ‘Yangcheongu Lake’ hadn’t existed? Wouldn’t we be so shocked and make a fuss?”

The man who was thinking deeply nodded his head.

“Right, right.”

“Then how heartbreaking it must have been for our gentle and kind Blue Reaper? So, there is something good about it.”

“I… I see.”

The man roughly agreed with a puzzled expression on his face.

The senior security officer was feeling distant from his junior because he liked the Blue Reaper so much.

What his junior did these days was travel around various places looking for the Blue Reaper.

However, it seemed difficult to find the Blue Reaper, as it would suddenly appear and disappear into the air.

“Sunbae, sunbae! Look at this.”

“Why are you shouting like that?”

Om Nom Nom-!

As the senior approached, what he found was a Blue Reaper sitting comfortably on his junior's palm while eating a pudding.

He couldn't see its face because it was pushing its hat down tightly, but it was clearly the Blue Reaper.

“How did you do it?”

“I do it with my sincerity! The Blue Reaper understood my heart!”

The junior had a triumphant expression on his face.

“Did you know that the Blue Reaper is a bit cold like water? Oh, it’s so cute.”

The junior looked happy as he stroked the top of the blue reaper's hat.

When the senior saw that, he thought he should get some pudding too.

*******The battle scene between the Hydra and the Gray Reaper was playing on TV.

Since the incident in Korea was reported even in the United States, there was definitely something unusual about it.

An Object that could control the entire country?

It was an Object that sent a bigger shock to human society compared to the fact that there were Objects that could be physically destroyed.

Meanwhile, what became popular was the battle scene between the Gray Reaper and the Hydra.

It was a scene of overwhelming destruction.

The sight of the Gray Reaper bouncing around with an expressionless, or rather bored expression in a place where it seemed difficult for anyone to survive shocked people.

Then, it overwhelmingly defeated the Hydra.

It was rare for an Object to intentionally destroy or subdue another Object, further highlighting the uniqueness of the Gray Reaper. It was especially true when it came to light that the Gray Reaper had dealt with quite a number of Objects.

As a result, there was even talk about the need to buy the Gray Reaper from Korea in the United States.

Of course, the cautious theory that they should not only look at a cross-section but investigate more carefully was still more dominant.

Nevertheless, perhaps thanks to its unique expressionless expression and relaxed attitude, it was clear that the Gray Reaper was developing its own fan base in the United States as well.

So, as soon as James saw that video, he contacted Sehee Research Institute using the contact information he had received from Yerin. In the end, he was able to conclude the story on a positive note through consultation with the deputy director of the Sehee Research Institute.

Then, they signed a contract to use ‘The Gray Reaper’ as the brand ambassador for the pudding.

< the="" gray="" reaper’s="" favorite="" pudding!="">

That catchphrase and a picture of the Gray Reaper eating the pudding were used on the pudding packaging.

Since many people were reluctant to eat the pudding because it was made by Objects, the growth in sales has slowed, so he decided to engage in unconventional marketing.

Of course, it was a very risky choice.

From public opinion that could be critical to Object, to a possibility that the government and various regulations could become problems, but James decided to take that risk.

In James' hand was a new pudding with a picture of the Gray Reaper eating it while holding it in his hand.

It's called < Gray Reaper Pudding >!

Since James had a job to do for the Gray Reaper Pudding, he planned to go back to Korea soon.

There were also things he really wanted to show the Gray Reaper.

James made a meaningful expression as he looked at the bag containing another artifact number 0.
