    Volume 1 Chapter 28
    And now.

    – …Velmaret…

    Lee Yeonwoo’s goal was nothing but “deep collapse”.

    – Let the veins say what I have forgotten.

    Immortality?

    A body made of blood?

    The expansion of one’s own self?

    “Of course, it is interesting.”

    But that wasn't what he wanted.

    "Even if it succeeds, it will only transform the body I have now."

    Lee Yeonwoo simply wanted the ritual to fail.

    This was the only way he could achieve the "side effect" he desired. The plan was to touch the soul, the deepest element of blood, and trigger the resurrection algorithm.

    "I won't be returning; I've already bled to death."

    Of course, it would fail. Lee Yon-woo didn't fully understand the text.

    "At best, it's a superficial understanding."

    It was like shooting blindly, hoping to accidentally hit a bird.

    "So naturally, only the bullet will fly. The bird won't fall."

    And yet, he had to shoot. It was the most obvious form of failure he could inflict on himself. A predictable failure was better than an unpredictable success. It could be controlled.

    It wasn't a way to survive. It was just a choice he could make at the very end. And as long as the choice was there, it was his responsibility.

    – Back-red, calm the bone-brain.

    Just don't die.

    "I know the theory."

    His body began to crumble.

    "My mind is still there."

    His senses were dulled—or heightened.

    "Is this me?"

    Me, me. My blood.

    Flowing down.

    "Am I there?"

    Beyond life.

    Transcending memory.

    Destroying emotions.

    Breaking the will.

    Touching the soul.

    "Or maybe..."

    All that remains are my memories.

    Stop!

    – ……

    – ……

    …This.

    Was not the failure I wanted.

    Something was writing me. It was blood.

    Memory. Personality. Emotions.

    It was disgusting, the way it pressed on my nerves and mimicked me, and yet it was me. An irony in which it was impossible to distinguish the parasite from the host.

    But strange!

    I understood this disgust. I could understand it. And this understanding made it no longer unpleasant.

    To shed its form in order to survive. To sacrifice oneself in order to exist.

    It's not wrong. It's unpleasant, yes, but understandable.

    The most basic choice that all life has to make.

    I, Lee Yoon, loved order.

    But this...

    Wasn't entirely necessary.

    Clear!

    That's it.

    It wasn't a deliberate failure.

    An unwanted correctness. A result he couldn't be satisfied with.

    And yet, despite that, he could save a man.

    Wasteful.

    Yes. Wasteful.

    – …

    …It was a success.

    – …Ha, hng…

    Though not the one he wanted.

    – Ha-ha, ha… kkh…!

    Now it was inside me.

    It could no longer be pushed out.

    Nor did it need to be.

    – Kuh…

    – …

    I.

    – …

    It was just there.
