Seoul Object Story

The newly created isolation room in the corner of Sehee Research Institute was filled with an unexpected sight.

The room had transformed into a playground for Mini Reapers.

On the bed, Golden Reapers were bouncing on the soft blanket, inflating it like a balloon to use as a trampoline.

Across from the bed, the table was covered with all kinds of snacks.

Black Reapers had gathered around it, nibbling on the snacks with bright expressions.

In the center of the room stood the Lead Doll, surrounded by Mini Reapers and White Hungry Ghosts waiting their turn.

On the Lead Doll’s lap, a small Golden Reaper was bouncing up and down, looking up at the doll.

‘Pat me!’

The Lead Doll responded with a gentle smile, slowly patting the Golden Reaper as it had wished.

Watching this scene from outside the isolation room, Seo-ah was reviewing a report.

The report was titled.

It contained the results of tests on the types of wishes the Lead Doll responded to and the risks associated with their realization.

After finishing the report, Seo-ah closed it and spoke.

“It certainly doesn’t seem dangerous.”

“Then!” Yerin exclaimed, cutting off Seo-ah’s words with excitement, but Seo-ah shook her head.

“Still, we can’t keep it outside the institute as Researcher Oh Yerin suggested.”

“Aww.”

Behind them, James and the tattooed alchemist were engaged in conversation.

“So the doll’s words meant ‘That wish has been granted’? No matter how I look at it, this ‘Kingdom Language’ is quite complex.”

“Well, this language is more about realization than learning. It’s rather surprising that you were able to interpret even a little.”

James slowly walked forward, peering through the glass window into the isolation room, and spoke.

“Its appearance is similar to the Gray Reaper, but its behavior is completely different. An Object that grants all requests, how benevolent…”

The tattooed woman approached James and muttered as if truly regretful.

“If only the Gray Reaper were such an Object… It’s really a shame. We might even be able to remove all Objects from the world through alchemy.”

The alchemist seemed very interested in experiments and research involving the Gray Reaper, perhaps because she had sensed limitless potential in its energy when crafting the sword previously.

“Well…”

James stroked his chin slowly after hearing the alchemist’s words and murmured.

“No matter how I think about it, I don’t see a particularly good future coming.”

James was watching the Lead Doll with a serious expression as it performed ‘Daejji’ on a Golden Reaper at the request of a White Hungry Ghost.
