"Haaaahhhh.. So tiring! Aigoo! My back feels like it's gonna break." I stretch the tension in my muscles and relax my body.

I have been working on the next update for my webtoon as an artist. This was one of my works that I really enjoyed, not forgetting, it is also a new release.

The plot I had in mind is of seven tyrant royals. They're all very close, like brothers in arms. ..and ruthless demons.

Starting it off with a child who then ends up being adopted by all seven. In the future, on her eighteenth birthday, they kill her. The reason being, is that there is a prophecy that will end all their lives, and she is involved in it.

To me, it was a good start. But thinking about it now, it is beginning to give me a headache. Well, this is the path I chose anyway.

Sighing, I place my laptop in front of me to check my feed. The Kpop boy band I had been staning since their debut had comeback. I am always a sucker for them.

Their music gave me hope in my most darkest times and I appreciate their existence. However, I still have not met them in person. I want to so bad, but I have a life to live and money to earn.. so someday, when the time comes, I'll be able to meet them in real life.

"Sucks to be me, huh?" I sigh dejectedly and slump in my seat.

Glancing toward the digital clock on my desk, I stand and make my way over to the open balcony, looking down at the busy streets in Seoul.

I had recently moved to South Korea to experience my so-called 'dream Asian life' five months ago. Where I came from also isn't the infamous America, Japan, Korea itself, or any other big countries, but instead a nice tropical country in the Pacific.

Working on webtoons and novels has also provided myself with decent income at least. However, those aren't the only jobs, more likely hobbies, I do.

Photography also provides me comfort. I simply love it. As long as I can earn more money for my survival in such a foreign land.

Puffing out another sigh, I lean against the rail, it was nightfall and quite late. Although the night has reached across the sky, I still need to feed myself. Knowing that my fridge is empty except for the few bottles of water, I knew that a grocery shopping is absolutely necessary.

Grumbling to myself, I prepare to head out to the nearest convenience store. Slipping out of my apartment, I lock the door and walk toward my destination.

The lights were flicking slowly down the street as I strode by, giving me a slight sense of déjà vu. Too immersed in trying to head to the nearby store which is about approximately 25 minutes away, I did not take note of the shadows lurking in the dark corners.

If I had checked my surroundings beforehand or the news, maybe I might have not ended up in this situation.

A situation which ended my life of 21 years.
