《Hello, Inside Monster》CHAPTER V: A FRIEND OR AN ENEMY
Advertisement
Park Mina noisily sipped the last drops of beer left on the bottom of the can. „Hwa, I can relax now! Today was definitely a devilish day. I thought that if I stay one more minute in my office with my boss yelling in my ear, I’ll kill him for sure,” but she heard no answer from SolHi who was completely immersed in thoughts. „Something happens? SolHi? SolHi! Ya, Ian SolHi, with whom am I talking?”
„Aaa?” SolHi finally reacted while looking at her friend as if she was a perfect dumb. „Aaa, besides the fact I have to see the Hunting Dog every day, while I have a gun in my hand, nothing else happens”.
„The Hunting Dog? And with the „Hunting Dog” do you have in mind the...?”
„The Prosecutor Han DooSan, of course. He’s my boss now,” SolHi answered and sketched an ironic smile.
Drowning with beer, Mina splashed everything with bitter drops after a loud „pfff” that came out of her mouth. „And did you sleep with him?” Mina’s sure question sneaked out of her mouth, while her black little eyes were rolling in circles on the orbit.
At that moment, Mina was looking like a perfect mouse, and when she was looking like that, something not too good was happening for sure. Not too good for SolHi only, because she felt that she would be again the target of Mina’s mockeries that day.
„Yeah, and I have two children with him too. Have you lost your mind? How the Hell could you think that I could enter the bed with that … Demon? Only if to strangle him,” was SolHi’s answer and, by deforming the beer can, she threw it in the trash den. „Bingo!”
„Damn bingo! You didn’t answer my question, Ian SolHi. Why will you and Han DooSan work together? And why do I have the feeling that you two, working together, will be a re-enactment of the „Tom and Jerry” cartoon?! And yeah, I’m damn curious to know who Jerry is here,” and, perfectly putting an arm on another and lying her chest on it, Mina stared at SolHi while waiting for the desired answer.
„I don’t know, ok?! I don’t know who the fucking Jerry is between us two and who Tom is. I just…”
„Talk nicely, Ian SolHi. You aren’t a man in a rock bar to talk like that and it definitely does not sound nice”.
„I don’t know about talking nicely, but I definitely know that I won’t ever lose in front of that jerk. All the shits he did to me in the past without an answer - that was enough for me. This time, I’ll go till the end and if one of us dies, then lucky him”.

„I think you should leave the police, SolHi. If Han DooSan is involved in this, it is because he’s again after evidence and he won’t stop until seeing you in jail”.
„Then he should nicely sit down on his ass because he has a damn long time to wait. And... I won’t give him the privilege to see me kneeled down in front of him, Mina. I’m tired of hiding or running and you know that if I quit now, it doesn’t mean he will give up on his obsession to break me down. I’m his target, remember?! All this shit happens already for 7-years-long. He won’t step back and me either. Not until one of us will be out of the game”.
„And with „out of the game” you mean a dead man.”
„I like that you are smart, Mina. Not for nothing, you are a psychologist: you definitely are able to make logical conclusions.”
„Ha-ha, and I feel that it hasn't been something nice addressed to me”.
„I told you already that I like when you make smart conclusions,” and, for the first time since they met that night, SolHi smiled.
„And ...what will you do then? I still think that making him a lover will be better than fighting with him. He’s sexy, motherfucker. If not for the problems between you two, I could even say that he’s the perfect lover.”
„I think so too,” SolHi answered, to Mina’s surprise. „He’s hot like a bat who sleeps upside down during the day while he’s the Master Vampire during the night. You know, that famous one: Dracula. Han DooSan is his vivid copy on Earth after half a century already, I think”.
„And what I think is that you also saw what vampires can do to their women,” Mina said, grinning, while SolHi was staring at her like a dumb. „You know the series „Twilling,” right?! I think there was a scene with the broken bed in that movie and I also think that you and Han DooSan, if...”
„Yah,” SolHi loudly shouted, forcing Mina to cover her ears.
„What?!” Mina said this time. „You two are the perfect copy of the other because none of you knows what really happened that night, but you are trying to suck the other’s blood and you definitely are both crazy vampires. The world is your mirror, remember?! The others are copying your own movements and life returns you everything you did to others, like a boomerang. If you would have told Han DooSan about what you lost that night, maybe…”

„Never. Did you listen to me, Park Mina? I’ll never tell Han DooSan about this. I don’t need his mercy. The only thing I need from him is to be left alone and if this isn’t possible, then I’ll fight with him till the other one will be out of the game, traitor” and SolHi walked away, leaving Mina staring behind her.
„And I still think that you are two perfect idiots. But who knows: from hate to love it’s one step left and... you said this once, SolHi: a friend is your enemy. Always”.
***
An apartment building in a neighborhood for the rich people. The street is quite crowded for that late hour of the night, but people all around still do not hurry to go home.
A white van with the inscription „Fast delivery: Duck Pan" suddenly stopped in front of the building. Min An Sock, the delivery guy, got out of the van and, opening the rear doors, he took a big box with a red bow covering it.
„Someone will have a nice surprise,” An Sock loudly said, and, taking the stroller for carrying heavy things, he finally managed to take the box out of the van. „What the Hell are they sending in this box?” An Sock wondered, difficulty breathing, after forcing himself with the box. „Some of us never think that somebody else should carry on all this,” he mumbled unsatisfied and entered the building.
Getting in front of the elevator, he pressed the button several times, but seeing that it didn't move, An Sock started to be nervous: „why is this shit delaying to come? I have better things to do than to wait,” he thought and he again nervously pressed the button. „Come on, you bastard, come once,” An Sock yelled at the button.
„It’s broken,” An Sock heard a woman's voice behind him, and turning his head, he saw a young lady about 35 in a wheelchair approaching him. „You should press it gently, then it will work,” the woman said and she pressed the button slowly. 2 minutes later the elevator’s doors opened. „I told you it will work this way,” the young lady said and she entered the elevator.
An Sock followed her while making funny grimaces: he was definitely not satisfied that he has been taught by a lady. „Which floor?” she asked while staring at him.
„Aaa?! Aaa, the floor. The 5th,” he answered, after looking one more time at the address written on the box.
After the young lady pressed 5, the elevator started to move, but it moved so slowly that the movement made An Sock be even more anxious than before, and that lady, that kept staring at him: was so fucking impolite. „Nobody ever told her that it isn’t nice to stare at others, especially when you don’t know that person?” An Sock yelled in his head, but he hadn’t enough time to finish his thought: the elevator stopped, and right after the doors opened, he exited it, pulling the box after him.
„503. 503,” An Sock mumbled while looking for the apartment with that number.
Then, when he saw the door at the end of the corridor, he hurried up and left the box in front of the door because it wasn’t necessary for the recipient’s signature, and the last thing he wanted, was to meet a talkative client. But even so, before leaving, he decided to ring at least the doorbell and to announce the client about his delivery.
When the client opened the door, An Sock was already closing the one that led to the stairs, because he felt that his heart was about to exit his chest and it was something that he hated, and waiting again for the elevator was something that he didn’t want at that moment.
But his client was not as anxious as An Sok was, a man about 40, not very tall, with an athletic body and blue eyes, something that wasn’t often seen in an Asian guy, but this made him absolutely handsome and for sure it wasn’t a surprise for him that he received such a gift. That’s why, after opening the door, he carefully looked around, but he became happy and forget about everything else when he saw the box.
Reading the note left on the box, Ri Jun smiled. „Only for you, oppa!” Ri Jun loudly read it. „Open me when you will be alone,” and he again smiled, because he didn’t expect such a surprise, but he was definitely happy receiving it. „Silly girl. She decided to surprise me,” and after these words, Ri Jun dragged the box into the apartment.
Dragging it closer to the sofa and comfortably sitting down on it while preparing to enjoy the surprise, he slowly opened the box, but a scream exited his mouth when he saw that the surprise sent to him was a dead girl.

Soul of the Warrior
In a world where Classes, Stats, and Levels are the everyday norm, Reivyn has a secret. He was unusually aware of his surroundings from an incredibly early age, and Skills and Stats were acquired easily. He was just the son of an ordinary village family, and nothing appeared out of the ordinary on the surface. But below the surface, dreams of another life help shape his mentality and growth. Why does he have some remembrance of a past life, and what is his purpose in this new one? "Soul of the Warrior" is what I call a Semi-Isekai LitRPG. I say "semi," because Reivyn's past life is remembered like a dream, and very incomplete. It is still Isekai, though, as he remembers enough that it directly shapes his personality and his sense of self. The System that governs the world of "Soul of the Warrior" is a combination of modified versions from Selkie's "Beneath the Dragoneye Moons" and Kosnik4's "Magic Smithing." I have changed enough of these Systems and combined them in a way that is unique that I'm mostly sure it's fine, but I still have requested permission to use these ideas. They have both graciously granted me permission. Winner of the April Writathon Challenge. Release Schedule is Mon, Wed, Fri on Royal Road.
