Seoul Object Story

The Tower of the End, where everything had concluded.

As the spider turned to dust from my ‘Gray Reaper Beam’, the Black Reapers that had been clinging to my body began to stir.

‘We won!’

‘Mom is victorious!’

At first, they wriggled in joy, celebrating the victory.

After a while, the Black Reapers began to transform from their fluid-like state into Mini Reaper forms.

Their heads began to protrude from the smooth surface, taking on the shape of Black Reapers.

And their exuded will changed from rejoicing in victory to expressing joy at meeting me.

‘Mom is warm.’

‘We love Mom.’

Especially those clinging to me would gently bite with their sharp teeth or lick me.

I grabbed one of the Black Reapers that was nibbling on my cheek.

‘Eek!’

The Black Reaper, startled, began to squirm.

‘What punishment should I give to Black Reapers who keep biting?’

As I was thinking this while looking at it, the squirming Black Reaper calmed down and started looking up at my face with a grin.

‘Mom is gentle!’

When I didn’t do anything for a while, the Black Reaper hugged my finger tightly and exuded its will.

It’s cute, I suppose.

And it did help me shoot the ‘Gray Reaper Beam’ this time.

‘….’

But still, it bit me, so I should bite its head!

Hehe.

I put the Black Reaper’s head straight into my mouth.

‘No!’

‘Mom ate it!’

The other Black Reapers, startled, began to flee.

‘Ah!’

‘It’s collapsing!’

Even the Black Reapers maintaining the giant doll form started to run away, causing the massive doll outfit to crumble rapidly.

Thud. Thud.

Black Reapers fell to the ground with soft sounds.

And I fell onto those soft Black Reapers.

As I lay on the fluffy Black Reapers looking up at the sky, I could see a Halo slowly flickering in the sky.

When I reached out towards the Halo, it quickly rushed into my grasp.

As if I were its rightful owner.

I held the Halo in my hand and slowly examined it.

‘So this is the Halo of Word Spirit.’

I grinned, imagining all the pranks I could play with this.

As I was spinning the Halo on my finger and letting my imagination run wild, a bright light burst forth from the distant black horizon.

It was the sun.

At first, a faint beam of light cut through the darkness, then gradually, an intense golden radiance began to shine down on the ruins.

As the sun’s warm light enveloped this desolate landscape, tiny flowers bloomed all at once amidst the ruins.

Between broken stones, and among scattered and crumbled pipes.

Yellow, purple, white, pink, and various other colored flowers adorned the drab ruins.

It looked like a constellation of stars had appeared on the ruins, replacing the stars that had disappeared as the sun rose.

Every time the wind blew, the small flowers swayed together as if dancing, and it looked as if waves of life were rippling across the ruins.

‘Not bad.’

It was a sight that even I, who wasn’t in the habit of appreciating flowers, couldn’t help but admire.

The Black Reapers didn’t seem particularly interested in the sparkling morning sunlight, but they were carefully observing the flowers that had struggled to grow, as if looking at something curious.

Poke. Poke.

The observing Black Reapers gently poked the flower petals, which were slightly covered in dew.

“Flowers have bloomed…”

The pink-haired girl, who had seemed intimidated among the suddenly appearing Black Reapers, muttered while looking down at the flowers, holding the Blue Reaper in her arms.

As I watched the Blue Reaper looking up at the pink girl with a soft smile, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘Ah, I miss Yerin too.’

Creak. Creeeak.

At that moment, like a rooster crowing at dawn, a loud sound began to echo from the massive structure I was standing on.

It was a dangerous sound, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Probably the aftermath of fighting with the spider and tearing through space.

Well, it’s a structure sturdy enough to withstand even Objects running wild, so it won’t collapse right away, but I decided it was time to bid farewell to this world and return to Yerin.

‘Alright! Everyone gather round! Let’s go home!’

As I exuded that will, the Mini Reapers began to sluggishly gather around me.

The pink girl looked bewildered, but approached with her pinky finger held by the Blue Reaper.

I began to slowly pull, sensing the Earth connected to me far away.

And in the next moment, I leaped across space, taking myself, the Mini Reapers, and that Attachment Human with me.
