Be It Apart [Lout of Count's Family Fanfiction]

Trash in the City of Rabbits VII

Before he knew it, Kim Rok Soo is yet again surrounded with darkness. But this time it was just pitch black. An endless one like he's a mere dust inside a very large box, or in the galaxy devoid of stars, lost, floating somewhere yet nowhere.

'Now what?' his sweat dropped from the coldness seeping on his skin, sending shiver on his neck with no mercy. It made Rok Soo alarmed, he whipped his head back, looking here and there for something that can give him a mark. However, he seen nothing tangible but himself

'Tangible' Kim Rok Soo quickly called for the system, something that should be attached yet not to him

[Bwdudiiqvhcksoqglahcyqpnchvt]

Letters with no space and meaning type itself endlessly

"Is this thing broken?" Taken aback from the long letters that's making no sense, he subconsciously blurted

Gullible words and flickering transparent screen, Kim Rok Soo have an unsure look. He can't help but frown as he wave away the screen

[Hrokwhsoodjl/*jkimjdkr-ch-child]

But it refuse to turn off like how it should

[Hshk/@;-akjx-child]

[----/"!$!'ch/*?'!;"--ild-]

He furthered narrow his eyes looking at the words that seems to be a repeated error from the server or a bug before he heard a noise similar to a broken radio that failed to connect with the channel

[Ch-- child, can you]

'Is this thing addressing me?'

And then it shut off.

Kim Rok Soo became wary. But at this situation, he could only call for the system again

[---chi---/--\¢°}×~'-ld--]

"What the fuck is wrong with this"

[---/#l*!nguage---]

'Is it lecturing me now?'

[----Ko-----a--]

[K--orean----]

[Kim Rok Soo]

"This.." Kim Rok Soo took a step, no, float back from the sudden voice that call for his name, but it was useless as the system screen just followed him. It look like it was programed to follow a certain range between the player

[I guess it's connected now. The records will return, my child]

'Who's your child?' Was his question to the unknown man behind the screen but Kim Rok Soo froze and put a palm on his temple, unable to ask with the pain absurdly drilling, suddenly throbbing like a prelude of a fever

Images flash through his mind like a picture book flipping in a fast pace, leaving almost every scene blurred.

His head keep throbbing, but the strange thing was that, his head might be aching badly but his mind was clear as the shallow water in the pond

It's almost unbearable. Almost. Like having a cold, heavy that you can't even sleep as your mind is wide awake. This made things barely distinguishable, but could be discern if attempted. So he look, taking a glimpse at the images

Then Kim Rok Soo was able to see a house

Then the next thing is what seems to be a celebration

Then there were two kittens with peculiar color

Then there was explosions

And then fire

Then a dining table
