Seoul Object Story

The James Space Station, occupied by the Green Moon.

The woman slowly opened her eyes inside it.

At first, it was difficult to recognize where she was.

As she blinked and looked around the dimly lit surroundings, the situation just before falling asleep gradually came back to her.

I must have fallen asleep….

The woman murmured blankly to herself.

In truth, she shouldn’t have fallen asleep during such an urgent Object incident, but she couldn’t help it.

The Special-grade Object ‘Green Moon’ that appeared on the space station.

The simultaneous loss of communication with Earth.

The grass and trees that suddenly started growing.

Moreover, as the station twisted, she was separated from her coworkers and left shivering alone in endless darkness and cold.

The moment she encountered a ‘friendly’ grotesque creature that went “Ming!”, it was truly unavoidable that she fell asleep as the tension released.

The grotesque creature was still nestled in her arms.

“Miing. Miing.”

As if it was asleep, the cute grotesque creature was making miing sounds like it was snoring with its eyes closed.

The woman smiled fondly and slowly stroked the grotesque creature in her arms.

As she was enjoying the warm and soft sensation, the grotesque creature opened its eyes and woke up.

“Hello.”

The woman greeted it while looking into its two golden glowing eyes.

“Miing!”

The grotesque creature miinged, imitating the woman’s intonation.

Huhu.

The woman chuckled softly and started playing with the grotesque creature.

After all, without rescue, she was 100% certain to die as a space dweller, and with the Object incident on top of that.

The woman had given up, thinking it was all or nothing.

The awakened grotesque creature seemed interested in humans, not taking its eyes off her.

Perhaps because of that, the grotesque creature gave off a feeling similar to the Mini Reapers her friend had told her about.

Though it looks different, it’s a bit like a Mini Reaper.

At the James Research Institute, it was established theory that Mini Reapers were related to the ‘Moon’.

Could this grotesque creature born from the Green Moon have some connection to the Mini Reapers?

The grotesque creature would mimic the woman’s actions exactly.

If she stretched out her hand, it would do the same, and if she patted its head, it would reach out and pat her head in return.

When she spoke to it, it would ming-ming while trying to imitate her words.

Unfortunately, the grotesque creature didn’t seem to understand language, but just having someone there made her feel much more content than being alone.

As they played like this, the sun began to show itself again beyond Earth.

As the darkness and chill faded, warmth spread inside the station.

Grumble.

The woman’s stomach growled.

Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten properly.

As the woman clutched her hungry stomach and thought about being hungry, the grotesque creature started to increase its size.

“Ming!”

After growing larger than a person with a loud ming, the grotesque creature lunged at the woman.

“!!!”

The woman was truly startled, but before she could show her surprise, the grotesque creature had already grabbed her.

Is it finally showing its true colors and going to eat me?

The woman could only close her eyes tightly and wait for death in the grotesque creature’s large grasp.

But the grotesque creature merely lifted her up and placed her on top of its head.

?

Then with a slithering sound, it began to leave the area where the communication console had been.

The woman felt a bit embarrassed for having been scared, and slowly patted the grotesque creature’s head.

“Ming!”

The grotesque creature simply responded with a “Ming!” to the woman’s action and continued crawling along the floor.

Slither slither.

The sound the grotesque creature made while moving was very quiet, but perhaps due to its large size, its movement speed was quite fast.

“Huh?”

And the moment they turned the corner at the end of the corridor, an endless jungle spread out before them.

???????

This can’t be.

Why has the space station suddenly become a forest?

The woman couldn’t help but be extremely bewildered.

The space station that was there until just recently has disappeared.

While it was sufficiently Object-like for grass and trees to suddenly appear on the space station, the current phenomenon went beyond that.

“Is this the ‘Moon’s’ spatial erosion?”

The Red Moon’s desert, the Blue Moon’s lake, and so on.

There were quite a few observed cases of moons changing the environment, but experiencing it firsthand felt different.

It was truly a realm that current human technology could never reach!

Looking back, the corridor they had come through was nowhere to be seen, and endless jungle spread out in all directions.

The place where she stood with the grotesque creature was on top of a fairly high hill, from which the jungle’s appearance could be seen at a glance.

The forest stretched to the horizon like a vast green carpet.

The dense trees were packed so tightly they looked like a broccoli forest.

This space had become a place that could no longer be considered a station.

As the wind blew in from the edge of the horizon, the leaves swayed in the breeze, creating waves of green.

The humid air characteristic of forests hit her skin.

The birdsong of unfamiliar birds resembling archaeopteryxes crossing the sky and the damp woody scent added to the forest’s vitality.

“Ha, haha.”

The woman let out a dejected laugh as she looked down at the jungle.
