The Ambiguity Of Selfishness
Description
Kim Minseok is okay with being a useful cog in society as he waits to die and be done with his guilt, namely by working at an alternative waste company. But when powerful aura strikes him in the back, and the injured kitty he takes home ends up being a prideful and cantankerous demon, he realizes that angels, demons, and the souls of his dead family aren't going to let him die so easily.
Now he has to deal with Chen, his surly demon guard, and between being a target to a wanted criminal and learning how to deal with the changes that come with changing his whole damn species, Minseok shouldn't have the mental capacity to question his confusion between growing guilt and budding companionship.
But he does, much to his distress.
Foreword
Any warnings in the chapter will be mentioned at the top and marked, but I can already tell you that there's blood and violence, incitements of death/killing, and strong language.
A small sneakpeak:
“Like what you see?”
Minseok made the mistake of looking up at the person’s face, at the end of that mouth curling like a certain… Oh .
“Yixing.”
“Yes?”
“He’s my cat, isn’t he?”
His friend gave him a sympathetic smile, and Minseok covered his face and cursed.
Hello people! As usual, I wanted the story to be short—just an episodic comedy of a recycling guy's house becoming a supernatural meeting place, but then I started writing ψ(._. )> So here's a complete and complex plot filled with questioning the boundaries of selfishness, breaking down the givens of emotions and relationships, and the supernatural world of angels and demons tearing itself apart! This one's more mystery, deduction, fluff, and angst, but there is action in there, especially towards the mid to end. I hope you enjoy the story~ Plagarism is not a form of enjoying or getting something out of my story. Do not plagarize or reproduce elsewhere without my explicit permission. I currently do not accept translations. Hit the upvote or subscribe button, or drop a comment! I enjoy the feedback and questions hehehe Laugh, Cry, Laugh, my peops. Kiwi-C December 25, 2021 Disclaimer: The names, events, and places in this story are used fictiously or made up by me. I do use several religious references that may allude to but not accurately represent the object/subject and its real life use, meaning, or context. I like to think that humans got more than a few things different while recording or interpreting these ideas of the supernatural, biblical, and religious. And, of course, I'd like to think that the world around us holds creatures invisible to our notice with their own ty society to deal with. If, however, this bothers you, then you are free to not read this or to put it away for later. Whatever helps your mental first <3 Also no, I don't actually believe that any of the people's images I've used here are accurate representations of the person in real life. Note: So the main character works at an "alternative waste solutions" place. Most of the descriptions and layouts and functions are taken from my visits to a recycling plant, a wetland project (filters water naturally), and a plant that composts human poop. Add a really big helping of imagination and creativity, aight. So the mechanical and technical stuff might not be 100% accurate. Same with the relationship counseling LOL
Questions I'll Preempt (QIP)
Q: How many chapters will this be?
A: 49
A2: I know.
A3: And then I'll put bonuses from time to time, the usual.
Q: What's the update schedule like?
A: Will try to be weekly once I start updating. I write all my chapters before releasing them and have to edit them again after the writing is done.
Q: Is this going to be complicated?
A: It's my story, so yes. But I might put a guide and update it as the chapters progress. Who knows? This is slowburn though, so savor it ╰(￣w￣ｏ)
