I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

t think it’s here?”

Closing the door, I looked at the pattern once more.
Just in case, I looked around and found that each door had an unknown pattern engraved on it.

‘Maybe this is…’

A similar pattern appearance suddenly flashed across my mind.

“He forced the paper into my hand.”

A paper handed to me by Park Geon-ho, whom I met right after the Gangnam incident.
A strange picture that looked like a number or a pattern that was drawn on it.

“I was only asked to deliver it.”

I was sure he said that.
The shape of the painting was so unique that I still remembered it clearly.

“Let’s take a look at the patterns.”

“Patterns?”

I accelerated my pace and crossed the hallway.
I walked out, carefully examining the doors and patterns on either side of the long hallway.
Ha Tae-heon, who was following me in a hurry, grabbed my wrist and at the same time, I found a pattern that exactly matched my memory.

“Han Yi-gyeol, what the hell…”

“This is it.”

Five figures reminiscent of the number 8 above, with a star-like shape in the centre and leaves surrounding it.

“It’s here, Ha Tae-heon-ssi.”

“Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Let’s go in.”

Ha Tae-heon overlapped my hand that was holding the doorknob.

“Wait.
Don’t open it recklessly.”

“But…”

“Stand back.
I will open it again this time.”

There was concern in the resolute words.
I took a step back, gently crossing the doorknob.

Ha Tae-heon hesitated for a moment then opened the door with strength.
As before, a cool breeze blew through the gently opened door.

As I opened the door a little wider, white petals fluttered with the sound of the wind brushing the gentle grass.
The scent of acacia passed through the tip of my nose.

Above the tree full of white flowers, I could see the blue sky and cotton candy-like clouds.
Was it the door leading out, not the door leading into the room?

Click.

The door closed by itself behind my back.
I was mesmerized by the beautiful unexplored scenery that unfolded before my eyes, and Ha Tae-heon, who was standing next to me, suddenly let out a rough breath.

“Gasp, keueuk…”

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi?”

I quickly grabbed him as he staggered while covering his mouth.
Ha Tae-heon, who frowned, gasped.

“Han Yi-gyeol, be careful…”

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi!”

Ha Tae-heon couldn’t stand it any longer and fell forward.
I shouted as I held him in my arms that he wouldn’t hit the floor.

“Wake up, Ha Tae-heon-ssi!”

Why did the SS-rank Ha Tae-heon have a problem, not me? My anxiety soared as to whether something went wrong.
Biting my lip, I calmly looked at his condition.

Fortunately, his complexion was fine and his unstable breathing returned to normal.
Then why…

“He just fell asleep, don’t be surprised.”

“……!”

My shoulders flinched at the unfamiliar voice.
Holding Ha Tae-heon’s upper body and lifting my face, I saw a man standing opposite me wearing a deep grey robe.

“…who are you.”

“Don’t you already know about me?”

My mouth was dry at the soft answer.
I didn’t relax and opened my mouth slowly.

“Prophet, right?”

“You can call it that.”

“The person who gave the paper to Team Leader Park Geon-ho and the person I met in my dream… they’re all you?”

“Correct.”

The wind blew once more.
The robe fluttered through the fluttering grass.

“What did you do to Ha Tae-heon-ssi?”

“Like I said, he just fell asleep.
The conversations you and I will have are things that the child shouldn’t hear.”

He slowly raised his hand.
Then, a butterfly with pale pink wings flew out of Ha Tae-heon’s arms.
Glittering powder flew from the butterfly that flew and landed on the white fingertips.

“This butterfly has the power to make the opponent fall into a deep sleep.”

“The power strong enough to put the SS-rank to sleep…”

“That’s not the case usually.
But this child was born and raised by my side.
So it’s quite possible.”

His white fingers snapped slightly and the butterfly flew high into the sky again.

“Your face seems to have a lot of questions.”

“……”

“Follow me.
Let’s move.”

Follow me? After thinking for a while, I shook my head without letting go of Ha Tae-heon.

“I can’t leave this person behind.”

“You are afraid of me.”

He smiled as if he understood and walked towards me slowly.
At the end of the long robe, white bare feet were slightly exposed and sprouts were visible.

“It seems easy but very difficult to act carefully without making hasty decisions.”

Standing in front of me, who was sitting holding Ha Tae-heon, he leaned his upper body slightly and lifted my chin with a very careful touch.

“If you give me faith that I won’t harm you, I will follow you.”

“…how are you going to convince me?”

“That’s easy.”

A white cat and rabbit appeared from somewhere and flocked around Ha Tae-heon. Meow, the cat which lightly tapped Ha Tae-heon’s cheek with its pure white paw cried as if it was nice to see him again.

“Han Yi-gyeol.
The book you read probably didn’t mention the Prophet properly.”

“What are you…”

“Right? That’s why you can’t be sure that even the Prophet is right in front of you.”

He slowly took off the robe that had covered his face.

“Abyss.
There is no record of what the Prophet looked like or what conversation he had with Ha Tae-heon.
It just shows you what happened after he met the Prophet.”

The first thing that caught my eye was the soft hair shining as white as silver.
His long silver hair, which reached his waist, fluttered in the wind.

“Will you trust me now? Han Yi-gyeol.
No, Kwon Se-hyun (권세현).”

Golden eyes that sparkled with light powder as if studded with stars and black eyes with darkness reminiscent of the night sky turned to me.
My fingertips trembled at the friendly eyes that were clearly revealed.
