Why are you alive?

A woman appeared in a hazy silhouette with bloodshot eyes and ghastly skin. The darkened prints around her neck screamed agony and quick death. As she loomed over the man on the floor, claimed by fear, she forced a breath of disappointment from her pale dry lips.

"Men are greedy. Since I was born, I was taught that way."

Ryo Sun Ah mumbled and shrugged her head as she gazed at the body of the man, with bulging eyes and wide-open mouth. His neck had the same blackened bruise mark as hers. And the one who caused it stood faceless in the dark.

"Tch! You don't deserve to die like this."

Baffled by the woman's words, Ghost forcefully opened his jaw to rip the clump of skin on his face. The slit displayed the menacing sharp teeth and long tongue making him hiss like a snake. Even without eyes, he sensed the vengeful soul standing near the cold corpse on the floor and asked.

"Do you feel merciful towards him?"

Ryo Sun Ah turned, glaring at his presence without an inch of fear, and replied.

"No, but I regret that he didn't kill me painfully as I wished to be killed. I died so easily in his hands I couldn't remember his face."

"Others died in agony in the hands of their perpetrator. Why long for pain when you had the luxury to die with only an inch of misery compared to others?"

Ghost whispered while walking towards the cadaver. When he lifted his hand, glowing fragments as bright as the sun flowed from the lifeless man on the floor and into the mortal embodiment he owned. It was a vital process for him to draw the essence from each death. As it fuels his monstrous body these misplaced spirits used to avenge their sudden demise in this plane.

"Because he killed me for the very same reason I was alive."

"Everyone dies of greed. For love. For money. For power. No one escapes the nature of men."

"Did you die from greed?"

"I died for nothing."

The sound of Ryo Sun Ah's laughter was like steel clashing to his ears. It was irritating and he was perplexed by the notion behind it.

"Why are you laughing?"

"A man who dies for nothing is the most heartbreaking thing to know. Without knowing greed. You will not long to live anymore."

"I never intend to live."

"Then why are you here? Why are you helping souls like me to get revenge on the people who took our lives? Why are you alive?"

In his mind, he knew the answer well. He never forgets the reason why he existed. A thousand years had passed and yet it felt like yesterday when he was cast as a monster to linger in the world of men.

"I live to avenge a death I cause to someone else."

"So you killed someone? Did you kill the one love?"

"It doesn't matter to you who I killed. You had your revenge, now claim the soul of your grief and walk towards the west where the sun rests. Your guide will tell you what to do next."

Ghost stepped away from the misplaced soul. His face wtiwhile the clammy skin began to squirm to create thin lips, a prominent nose, and dark brown eyes accentuated with thick brows above.

Ghost whispered, hissing through the horizontal crack on his face. His teeth glistening teeth sunked

"Everyone is killed by greed. Love. Money. Power. Once we became se

"Whoever told you that, is not wrong."

Ghost whispered, hissing through the wide opened slit on his face. The sharp teeth glistened while the clammy skin began to squirm to create thin lips, a prominent nose and dark brown eyes accentuated with thick brows above.

"Youngjae will be next. The person behind my death will not stop until we are all dead."

"Tch! Do you think I care?"

Ghost replied with the soft tone of a woman. An innocent face emerged as each muscle from the mortal vessel started to accompany the female form Ghost chose to transform into.

"I'm not asking you to save him.

Ryo Sun Ah turned to him with eyes drawn to tears. Even if the vengeful woman glared at a monstrous image of clump skin, she didn't shiver in fear.

The at the once faceless being replaced the clammy skin.

"No."

"Can you please look after Youngjae?"

Ghost whispered, hissing through the wide opened slit on his face. The sharp teeth glistened while the clammy skin began to squirm to create thin lips, a prominent nose and dark brown eyes accentuated with thick brows above.

"Youngjae will be next. The person behind my death will not stop until we are all dead."
