DTD 18
At last, we narrowed the search down to a single district. It didn’t matter how densely populated Seonan-dong was. I stationed staff throughout the area, paying special attention to high foot traffic zones, and instructed them to stay on alert 24/7. But even after several months, not a single significant lead surfaced. Not one of my people spotted Johan. Not even a strand of his hair. "I'm sorry, Guild Leader Simeon." They’d all seen Johan’s face through <Portrait of Saint Germain>,…-

The sound of a sob that I couldn't swallow filled the room. There was no one to hear me, but I vented my frustrations at the top of my lungs. The absurdity of acting like a victim in a situation I brought upon myself made me laugh until that laughter turned back into tears. What was I even crying for? My mind was so clouded with sadness that I couldn't grasp even the simplest things. As I clutched my aching chest, the paper in my hand crumpled naturally. The scent of the sea embedded in the paper…-

“Are these all the precautions we need to take?” “No.” Simeon shook his head firmly as he replied. “We can’t let any beings inside the gate realize that we’re ‘outsiders.’” “What happens if they find out?” “If they get too suspicious, we’ll be instantly ejected back to reality.” There were more things to be cautious of than I expected, and I couldn’t help but let out a sigh. To stop the spirit’s rampage, we had to enter the gate and complete a specific…-

A week had passed. Thankfully, there were no suspicious followers nor any accidental encounters with any of the apostles. It felt like returning to my life before discovering Simeon was Sang. I couldn’t ask for more if the days continued peacefully with occasional requests. A request came through the usual open chat. At the time, I had no idea. But this was the beginning of a fateful encounter. Honestly, I was suspicious. There was no reason to…-

In the days leading up to the end, I spent time with some of the members of The Apostles, one by one. I attended a gemstone auction with Raphael, bought Matteo the beef I’d promised him ages ago, and went to a long-awaited overseas orchestra performance with Shinhwan. There wasn’t any deeper meaning behind it. I just wanted to settle my thoughts quietly in my own way. And yet, the more memories I made, the harder it became to leave. Attachment was a terrifying thing. I’d drawn the line, told…-

The train's speed had slowed significantly. Yet, no announcement was made about any mechanical failure. The dimly lit interior quickly filled with uneasy murmurs. Just as I was beginning to suspect this was all part of his plan… "Mom, look!" A child's voice, full of excitement, cut through the tense atmosphere. The boy pointed outside, and instantly, all eyes followed. Boom, boom—! With loud explosions, fireworks burst into the dark sky. Each dazzling explosion sent waves of colorful…-

Last night, the full moon greeted us as we finally defeated the last water creature. I spent the morning thoroughly re-reading the original Divine Comedy to prepare for our journey. Considering that I was heading to hell, my preparations were surprisingly minimal. All I carried in my pocket was a dagger and my mother’s will. As midnight approached, I went down to the first floor as we’d organized. Simeon, who’d arrived early, was talking with Enoch. I cautiously approached, not wanting to…-

It was an unusually bright moonlit night. The forest didn’t appear to be one where people usually walked—there wasn’t even a path in sight—and somewhere in the distance, the eerie hoot of an owl echoed. For a dream, it felt way too vivid. I stood there blankly, staring up at the moon, when suddenly, my pocket vibrated. “…Simeon?” Now he was even calling me in my dreams? I picked up the call before the ringing stopped. “…Uh… no?” Well, I wasn’t technically…-

The sound of the wind brushing against the leaves no longer felt comforting. The soft rustle near my ears felt like crawling insects. And then, I felt it—eyes watching from somewhere. Glancieng around quickly, I finally saw it. A screaming man’s face was embedded in the tree trunk Simeon was leaning against. “T-There…” At first, I didn’t even recognize it as a face. The bark’s deep brown, rough surface looked nothing like skin. But starting from the hollowed-out knotholes where eyes…-
