CHAPTER#1: SCENT OF EVIL
Every evil has a scent, from far away, I can smell the burning essence of darkness....
To become an immortal soul forever is a repeated promise of devil to those who follows him...... but promise never comes true....

She is walking down the road, in her uniform, unsettled air surrounded her as she crossed the road. She entered a street and started walking down the side of road when she felt a sensation on her back. A cold breeze of air passed before her eyes and she is, suddenly breathless, shaking....
" Not again, no please.....let me go....."
She runs down the road as she cries silently, running from something following her.
She turns around to look but hardly gets hit by a car coming from the other side of road and car stops as she falls, barely getting hit fron the bonnet.
The door unlocked and a man came out, snapping the door behind him as he sneers at her. The cold glare gets her even more upset and fearful. Her knee is bleeding.
As he comes closer, a dark cold essence passes beside her. He stopped for a minute and his umbrella comes out of nowhere. He tucks it down on road, full of rage. A wave of air passed in a circle.
" I see..... " He shakes his head in a low voice.
Then bends down on his knee to look at lady. She sits there, trying to get up but she can't.
The cold spirit is still spiraling there.
The cold gaze continues staring at the street where cold spirit is mingling in the air. His eyes shine suddenly and the spirit escapes.
A hand of support came out and she was able to get up.
" I am grateful...." she wipes her tears as she feels alot warmer now. The cold essence is gone.
" Get hold of your desires and let them not be known..... That way you won't become a vessel to the evil ....."
" I have no desire left in this world.... A small wish to live as normal human.... "
" A very potential desire there .... "
He said.
Then he returns to his car, without looking back.
She walks down the road but she couldn't feel pain anymore. The bleeding wound was almost healed.
She turned back to look but car had disappeared from the street.

Jangman University,
9:00 am
" Humans, being lethal weapons to evil, get to live enough in this world. Without an outwardly interference, they can breathe and struggle through sea of desires and needs. The problem lies beneath, needs were always met but desires..... they were not ....
They led humans to gain control over life and eventually bad practices, consuming life forces and broken souls, they loathe immortality. There is no such thing as immortality..... "
As he continues his lecture, all ears to him. An interest in the air.
An essence of discomfort fills his body as same lady from the morning, entre the class.
She sits at the back but looks up front, seemingly surprised.
" Evil continue to follow those who have made wrong pacts and decisions to get through their needs and desires..... God knows when to give you your need .."
She looks up as she thought she was addressed indirectly.
The same cold gaze continues in his eyes as he continues.
She listens to each and every word, diving deep to the sea of her memories as she remembers falling from a clif.
" This is your fate ...." someone whispers from the back of her ear.
" Noooo..... "
she shouted out loud and fell anyways.
She woke up from her dream, she was on a soft bed.
" Are you alright. Nara?" Ji Soo asked her.
" What happened?"
" You fainted ...."
" Did I?"
" Yep... It was like hardly fifteen minutes you sat straight and then zoned out. I tried to wake you up but you fainted."
" Oh no .... not again.... this can't be happening again....why am I like this?? "
" It's not your fault, we shouldn't have gone to that lady shaman.... she almost killed you and ...." Ji Soo blurted out.
" shhhhh..... are you crazy? What if someone hears us? " she hushed her.
" Did shaman satisfy your wishes?" He came as he continued talking.
They almost felt If he was a ghost.
" Maybe she almost got you at risk of cursing yourself and putting yourself to self harm.... is that what you call satisfying your wishes?"
" Maybe they'll never come true....."
"Oh, they will.... "
" If all wishes were to come true in this world, we can't exit even one more minute, maybe someone's wish is for us to disappear... that someone held this responsibility in his hands and not letting humans exploit other's existence.... " He said.
" Do you think I am alive anymore?.... I don't have any more wishes...."
" Maybe you have them but you have wrong source to get them..... Wishes are not be taken from others but they are granted distinctly to everyone.... the source you should have been looking for... "
" I don't want to ..." she blurted out in anger and started crying suddenly. Her face grew even more pale.
" I think you need to come out of your own darkness first... you can see light if you don't block it out yourself ....."
He gave her a little hope.
" Professor, can you plz help Nara?"
" In that case, if she wants to find herself, I can...."
Ji Soo smiles as Nara dries her face.
" But I don't grant wishes for free, there is always a price for the wish you want ....." He said with utter seriousness.
Nara and Ji Soo suddenly felt discomfort and fear going down their spines.
