Seoul Object Story

Along the dusty corridor, the Golden Grim Reaper carefully made its way to the slightly open door.

The gap was so narrow that a human couldn’t possibly pass through, but for the palm-sized Golden Grim Reaper, it was more than enough room.

Cautiously slipping through the gap, the Golden Grim Reaper was met with a scene full of shadows.

The room, much like the landscape outside the mansion, was filled with a living darkness that seemed to breathe.

The darkness, as if black ink spreading through the air, filled the space, making it hard to determine the room’s boundaries or size.

However, the bookshelves that stood in spaces untouched by the darkness gave the Golden Grim Reaper a clue as to the nature of the room.

‘A room full of books!’

The Golden Grim Reaper had often seen such rooms in human homes.

Humans called them "libraries."

Driven by curiosity, the Golden Grim Reaper slowly stepped forward and stood before the writhing shadows.

It reached out its small hand to touch the darkness, but recoiled, startled by an ominous feeling.

‘It seems like I shouldn’t touch it…’

Instead, the Golden Grim Reaper turned its gaze to the space that the darkness had not reached.

Books, tightly packed on the shelves, came into view.

Normally, the Golden Grim Reaper wouldn’t have been interested in books, but now it felt differently.

For its beloved human, it was prepared to look through every single book.

‘The solution to this mansion’s mystery must be here!’

Since entering the mansion, the connection to the Mini Grim Reaper network had been severed, and there was no way to call for help from other Mini Grim Reapers or its mother.

To solve the problem, the Golden Grim Reaper would have to find the answers on its own.

Though its small size prevented it from viewing the entire bookshelf at once, the Golden Grim Reaper didn’t give up and began carefully inspecting each book, one by one.
