When Your Dad is a Pillar of the Universe: Snippets 2
Kim Rok Soo was brushing his teeth when he saw something unusual. He kept seeing a flicker of red in the mirror.
"Old man! The mirror is acting weird!"
"Let it be, Rok Soo! Just Arrodes sulking as usual!" His old man shouted back from the kitchen.
Kim Rok Soo returned to brushing his teeth. Of course, the mirror was still flickering red. Until finally, when Kim Rok Soo finished wiping his face, his reflection changed.
"Interesting," said his monocle wearing reflection.
Shocked, Kim Rok Soo yelled for his old man, "Old man! My reflection is wearing monocle!"
Suddenly, the bathroom door was blasted open. His old man suddenly wore a black and yellow cloak and carrying an old fashioned gun. Menacingly, he pointed the gun at the mirror. The mirror's reflection smirked while mouthing something.
A bright light explode from the gun, breaking the mirror apart. Rok Soo felt a bunch of doorways opening around him to transport the mirror's fragment.
"What was that, old man?"
His old man didn't answer. Instead, he pulled a golden strip from somewhere and shouted something in a weird language. Immediately, another explosion rocked the poor bathroom, further turning the mirror into dust.
It seems his old man isn't done and was planning something else.
"Wait, wait, wait! You'll destroy the apartment and the city if you continue! Stop! Old man stop!"
His old man wheezed. The light in his hand dissipated and the black yellow cloak disappeared.
Suddenly, his old man grabbed his face and turning it left and right. He also grabbed a flashlight somewhere and shined it to Kim Rok Soo's eyes.
"You didn't have the urge to suddenly put on a monocle, do you? Or a penchant to wear weird wizard clothes?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Listen Rok Soo. If you ever see anyone wearing monocles that acted suspicious, immediately called me. Understood??"
"I don't get it. But alright."
His old man nodded and told him to go to bed. After that, for a few months afterwards, his old man kept doing drills on what to do when you encounter suspicious monocle wearing people.

Roan Kingdom, at a ball celebrating the Crowned Prince's birthday
"Oh shit."
Several people looked at Rok Soo.
"Weird bastard, what is it?" Asked the red head.
Rok Soo didn't answer, instead, he grabbed his pendant and whispered, "Old man, a weirdo wearing monocle is here. He kept staring at me with a weird smile."
All of a sudden, the sky outside the ballroom turned dark. Many thunders strike at the ballroom.
The guests were scared, Rok Soo and Cale's group was busy evacuating every guests and ensuring no one got hurt.
Weirdly enough, the thunder seems to be only targetting one person only. Somehow, everytime the thunder strikes, there was this soft voice accompanying it.
"Get away from my son, you #$*^#&%#!!!!!"
Kim Rok Soo sort of regrets calling his father even though it was a reflex by now. Those drills are terrifying.

My Roman Empire is the original owners of the bodies in transmigration stories.
The less we know about them the more I think about them, especially if we never find out what happened to them after someone else basically posseses them or if we are just left to assume that they are dead.
And so many of them get replaced without anyone ever finding out, it seriously breaks my heart... but that makes the few times these type of characters get a happy ending even more special

When Your Dad is a Pillar of the Universe 4
A few month since the accident, Kim Rok Soo was passed between his relatives. At this moment too, Kim Rok Soo realised he could remember everything as clear as the moment he first experienced it.
Until he finally got transferred to a distant uncle from his father's side of the family, he always heard how his relative called him misfortune bringer. By the time his uncle, Kim Seung Jong, pick him up, Kim Rok Soo has became a silent child.
Kim Seung Jong is a heavy smoker, was Kim Rok Soo's first impression. His second impression was, his eyes were just like dad's. So dark, it feels like no lights can escape. His third impression scared him a little, his uncle had the same smile as his dad did before the accident.
"Hello. I'm Kim Seung Jong, your uncle." He said as he crouched in front of Rok Soo.
"I guess you'll have to stay with me now little Rok Soo. It's nice to meet you." Uncle Seung Jong said while smiling that weird smile of his.
Rok Soo's current aunt pushed him roughly, "Hurry up and take him away. Him being here just caused us more trouble than it's worth."
Rok Soo who still kept a close eyes on Seung Jong's eyes noticed that his uncle's eyes flickered to dark brown before returning to the deep darkness he first saw. Kim Seung Jong frowned, "Well, maybe your misfotune wasn't caused by little Rok Soo here, but instead because your son and husband got caught in gambling debt and fraudulent investment."
Rok Soo's aunt was silenced. It wasn't a secret that her husband likes to gamble. But her son too?
"H-how? How did you??" She stuttered as she took a step back.
Kim Seung Jong stood up and grab Rok Soo's hand, "Well, I am quite an expert in fraud. I am a cop after all. Well, have a good day ma'am." He gave her a salute before grabbing Rok Soo's bag and left.
When they reach the car, Kim Rok Soo finally spoke, "You felt like my dad."
Kim Seung Jong hummed. "Is that so? What makes you think that?"
"Your eyes. And smile. They are similar to Dad's when we left for vacation."
"Ahahaha.... we are family after all."
"No. Who are you mister?"
"Your family of course."
"Yeah, but who are you? I know the big sis was worried about having me in your care. But you are definitely different from her files."
Kim Seung Jong was silent. They drove in silent for a few minute before Kim Seung Jong finally spoke, "You, really are a precocious child."
"My family is dead. I had to grew quickly"
"Yes, I suppose you do."
The car returned to silence as Kim Seung Jong focused on driving.
"If I said I was your father, would you believe me?"
That sentence caused Rok Soo to glare at this man calling himself his uncle. "How dare you! My mom would never cheat!"
"Ah, wait! Wrong sentences! Wrong sentences!" The car almost swerved before Kim Seung Jong managed to control it again.
"Let's talk when we reach home, alright? I'll explain everything later!"
"You better, you weird stinky old man!"
"S-stinky??"
"Yeah! You reeks of smoke! So stinky!"
"Dammit, Kim Seung Jong..."
