Mortal Parellelism
Description
In this century, there are such things as legal slaves.
Called 'Scaiv' , or 'the immortale', these are no more than test-tube born human, genetically engineered to be beautiful, to live for a ripe old age of 300, to never age the way a human will.
When a Scaiv dies, he dies beautiful.
Every three years, a festival is held, called the Schaivo Dando Fiesta, where all Scaivs at the agency are put up for sale, excluding a rare few. Here, Scaivs are chosen mostly for their beauty, their charisma, which is abundant. For all of them, this festival decides how they live for the next sixty years or so for their life.
But this year, this year is different.
Flawless skin
And
Big beautiful eyes
And
High cheekbones
And
A smile that can light up the world
Not the descriptions of a modern day vampire , angel
More like the modern day servant
A 'Scaiv', the word derived from the italian translation of 'slave'
The result of a perfect, immortal test-tube-baby
Bred for a life of slavery
Foreword
Main Characters
----------------------
[Park Chanyeol]
See this skin? No matter how many times I cut it, it always heals. No trace. This skin is my scar, a scar that never fails to remind me that I'm less than human.
[Byun Baekhyun]
Just because we don't have parents to cry over our abuse, just because our very lives were molded out of test tubes in a lab, just because we were born for their purpose, means we are not human? I came into this world knowing that we deserve our rights, Chanyeol, that we are human.
[Do Kyungsoo]
I see myself walking again in the future, Kai.
[Kai (Kim Jongin)]
I'm sure that they can create robotic legs for you, but they definitely can't create a me who's willing to listen to monsters like them.
[Lay]
Me? I'm in danger all the time . I can drop dead at any moment, the heart pumping blood in my chest isn't even mine to control. And if they want, they can erase me from the face of the earth, no records, no nothing. I wasn't meant to exist at all.
[Chen (JongDae)]
Hey, Kyungsoo, I know I have it good and all, but frankly I think I'm gay.
[Luhan]
Don't disturb me, JongDae. You can't just come here and try to mess up my perfectly good life by declaring your obviously fake infatuation with me.
