The Eternal flame X The unworthy world

Here is the full story of "The Eternal Flame" and "The unworthy World" translated into English: The Eternal Flame Chapter 1: When Light Touched the Cold The scene is a side street in the city at 8:30 PM. It's drizzling, and a streetlight flickers. The street is silent except for the sound of water dripping from a pipe and footsteps. A girl named Prithvi is walking calmly, returning from a bookstore with her bag held tightly. Suddenly, she realizes three men are following her. One of them grins and says to his friends, "Hey... look what we have here." Prithvi quickens her pace, but the street is empty. Another man laughingly calls out, "Hey, pretty..." He quickly closes the distance and tries to grab her hand. Prithvi firmly warns him, "Don't touch me. I'll call the police." The third man mockingly replies, "I won't even give you the time to make a call," as he also reaches for her. Suddenly, the wind shifts. A tall figure in a black hoodie appears at the corner of the street. His face is hidden in shadows, with only his glowing red eyes visible. His footsteps echo loudly as he approaches. Everyone, including Prithvi and the three men, stops. One of the rowdies shouts, "Hey! Who are you?" The figure continues to walk silently. A flash of lightning reveals his calm but dangerous face; his name is Jinwoo. Without a word, Jinwoo grabs the second rowdy's neck, and with a loud c***k, the man is instantly knocked out. The first rowdy pulls out a knife, but Jinwoo breaks it with a single punch, saying in a cold tone, "Weaklings... don't show your strength in the wrong place." The third man tries to run, but Jinwoo flicks his hand, sending the man flying into a wall. The fight is over in just eight seconds. The rain stops, and Jinwoo turns to look at Prithvi for the first time. Her eyes are filled with fear, and tears are on her cheeks, but she remains calm. Jinwoo thinks to himself, "This world is not safe for girls." After a moment of silent eye contact, he softly tells her, "You can go safely now," before turning and walking away as the rain begins again. Chapter 2: That Silent Stranger Later that night, as Prithvi is opening the gate to her house, she feels like a boy is standing nearby in the shadows. She can't see his face clearly, but she feels his eyes following her. She quietly goes inside, and the figure fades away. In her room, Prithvi lies in bed, thinking, "What would have happened to me if that boy hadn't been there?" She reflects, "He looked like a college student, but that strength? That speed? He was so scarily calm." The next morning at college, during the first week for freshmen, the campus is crowded. As Prithvi is heading to the canteen after class, she suddenly sees the same figure. He is in casual clothes but has the same calm and powerful aura. Prithvi walks directly up to him. "Hey... what's your name?" she asks. In a low tone, he replies, "Jinwoo." "Nice name. My name is Prithvi. You're the one who helped me last night. Thanks," she says. "It's okay," Jinwoo responds. "What are you doing here? Are you a student?" Prithvi asks. "Yes. 3rd year," he answers. "Oh... same college! I'm a first year. Are you free now? Can we talk?" she asks. "No. I don't have time," he says. With a slight smile, Prithvi asks, "Why are you always alone?" "I like being alone. I don't need to talk to you," Jinwoo replies calmly. Prithvi persists, "If we talk, we might understand each other better... I feel like I want to know more about you." Jinwoo warns her, "What you want to know about me... it's not good for you. I have many things within me... and I don't share them with anyone." He then calmly turns and walks away, leaving Prithvi standing there silently. Chapter 3: A Coffee Between Secrets That evening, Jinwoo walks alone, thinking to himself, "That girl... she's so different... She wants to know about me... But what can I say? All of this is dangerous." Suddenly, he sees Prithvi walking towards him from the opposite direction. She is smiling, and he can't look away. "Hey Jinwoo! Come on... let's have a coffee," she says excitedly. "No... I don't drink coffee," he replies calmly. "Okay... I'm going to have coffee. I need company... so come with me," she says with a smile. When he remains silent, she playfully tries to pull him by his hand, teasing, "Hey, how are you so strong? I tried to pull your hand, but you didn't even move a little... Are you even human?" Shocked, Jinwoo quickly changes the subject, "Let's go to the coffee shop." At a small table in a local cafe, Prithvi orders a hot coffee and asks, "Why don't you talk much? I have so many questions for you... How are you so strong and powerful? I was shocked when I saw you." Jinwoo takes a deep breath and says calmly, "Okay. I'll tell you. But you have to keep it a secret. This isn't normal. There's danger involved." "I promise. I'll keep it a secret," Prithvi assures him. In a low tone, Jinwoo asks, "Do you believe in vampires?" "Vampires? No..." she replies. "I am a vampire," he reveals. "From the royal bloodline – the blood of the vampire king. I am the last vampire." Shocked, Prithvi asks, "Seriously?! Does that mean... you don't sleep? Is blood your food?" "Yes... but I don't need blood. I have the Mist Power within me," he explains. "It's a cursed power. A gift... and a burden left to me by my family." "Wow... I believe you," Prithvi says. "You already helped me. I was shocked when I saw your speed fighting those three rowdies." Just then, a breaking news report on the cafe's TV catches their attention: "A brutal attack at an ancient temple. Many people are dead. The killer is unknown, and their power is mysterious." Prithvi turns to Jinwoo and says softly, "Jinwoo... you are a very good person. You didn't know who I was... but you still helped me. It's rare these days for a stranger to help another stranger... I like you, Jinwoo." With a soft smile, Jinwoo replies, "Don't worry. I will always be with you. I will protect you." Prithvi smiles back and says, "You'll be with me... that..." Jinwoo nervously clarifies, "I mean... I just said I'd protect you..." They both laugh lightly, sharing a deep eye contact. Jinwoo thinks to himself, "What is this feeling? I feel like she should be with me for the rest of my life. I have to protect her life." Later, as they walk together in the evening, Prithvi suggests, "Hey, let's go for a walk. We can talk while we walk on the forest path." Jinwoo agrees, and they walk side-by-side, laughing softly. Suddenly, a wild wolf leaps out from the trees, directly at Prithvi. Just as she screams, Jinwoo moves at lightning speed, punching the wolf and slamming it against a tree, knocking it unconscious. Shocked and happy, Prithvi says, "Jinwoo... you really are protecting me." With a soft smile, Jinwoo replies, "I told you... I will be with you." Chapter 4: Moonlight Dreams Under the calm midnight sky in the forest, Jinwoo and Prithvi walk side-by-side in the moonlight. Jinwoo softly asks, "Hey Prithvi... where is your family?" Prithvi pauses, a hint of sadness on her face. "I don't have a family... I live alone in a rented house." "Oh... sorry..." Jinwoo says softly, then curiously asks, "Do you have a boyfriend?" Prithvi smiles lightly. "No... I haven't felt anything like love yet. I haven't had that emotional connection with anyone." Prithvi then turns the question to him, "You tell me... You're the last vampire king. I know you don't have a family, but have you ever been in love? Are you now?" Looking up at the sky, Jinwoo replies, "No... There's no one to say I love. I grew up with fights, blood, and survival... but I've never felt love." He then asks her, "And what are your future plans?" Prithvi's tone becomes dreamy. "My future plan... I want to love a boy – a boy who cares for me and protects me... a boy who will be with me no matter the situation. I want to love a boy like that, get married, and travel the world. We'll build a small home in a place like a forest and live happily ever after." "Wow... your dream is amazing," Jinwoo says, mesmerized. "As for me... I want to love a girl... She should be loyal and understanding. If anyone, even the whole world, is against her... I'll hold her hand and stand by her side. I would destroy anyone in this world to protect her... But I'll be with her. We'll get married. A small home in the forest... a calm place that she likes... And a little girl who is a little version of her... Then my life will feel complete." Prithvi smiles broadly. "Wow... a super dream! Jinwoo, even though you're a vampire... I now know that you truly have a soft heart. Girls would want someone like you." She then asks, "But... what if that girl... said she never wanted a baby?" In a soft, deep tone, Jinwoo replies, "Her choice is what's important. If she says she doesn't want a baby, that's okay. Because that pain... it's all about her. I will be her baby... and she will be my baby." "A nice future... the girl you love will be very lucky," Prithvi says. In his mind, Jinwoo thinks, "I have feelings for you... I love you... Until you feel the same... I will wait." As they return to the city from the forest, Jinwoo stops when Prithvi's house is in sight. "Thanks... Jinwoo... today was the best day," Prithvi says. "Bye Prithvi. Stay safe. I'll be around," he replies. After she goes inside, Jinwoo stands silently, looking at the moon. He thinks, "The moon... it's calm and beautiful... just like her... Prithvi." Chapter 5: The Last Light The next morning, Prithvi sits in front of her mirror, thinking, "Jinwoo... what did you say? 'I will protect you for life'... You said you would protect the girl you love... Does that mean... you love me?" She smiles softly, but she is still confused. That afternoon, Jinwoo is waiting in the college grounds when Prithvi comes out of her class. "Hey Jinwoo! I'm going to open a*****e!" she waves and announces. "The Prithvi – Books and Coffee... it's opening in the city!" "Wow! It's very impressive to hear a student is becoming a*****e owner! You're amazing..." Jinwoo says, surprised and happy. "Thanks! But there's a lot of work... I have to clean the store tonight. If you're free... will you come?" Prithvi asks. "Of course... I'll definitely come. I'm ready to help with the store!" he replies. "Okay, see you! Let's meet at the store," she says with a smile. "And Jinwoo... I have a surprise for you..." "I also have something to tell you... I'll tell you at the store tonight," Jinwoo says with a calm smile. As Prithvi leaves, Jinwoo watches her and thinks, "Tonight... I'm thinking of proposing to you... Prithvi..." That night, Prithvi is cleaning inside the quiet store alone when she hears a loud thud and a screech from outside. She goes out to see a person brutally beating another on the dark road. A man is on the ground, trembling with fear. Prithvi steps out of the store to help him, shouting, "Hey! Who are you? Let him go!" But when the attacker turns his face, it is full of darkness with glowing red eyes. This is where the villain from "The Unworthy World" enters. At the same time, Jinwoo is trying to call Prithvi. When she doesn't answer, he heads to "The Prithvi – Books and Coffee" store. He arrives to a shocking scene. Prithvi's motionless body is in front of the store wall, her skull cracked and blood everywhere. Her eyes are closed, and her face is pale. Jinwoo freezes, screaming, "PRITHVI!!!" He rushes to her at lightning speed and holds her body, tears falling from his eyes. "You... how could you leave me like this? I said I would protect you but... I came to tell you I love you... but you didn't get to hear it," he cries. The police and a crowd gather at the brutal crime scene. Jinwoo sees other brutalized bodies nearby, with smashed heads and blood spread all over the road. Rage and pain mix in his eyes. With tears of sorrow, Jinwoo says, "Prithvi... I love you. I wanted to protect you... I came to propose..." He softly kisses her forehead as a gentle breeze blows in the moonlight. His hand clenches slowly as he vows, "Whoever did this... I won't let them get away... I will destroy them..." Chapter 6: The Voice of Love As Jinwoo holds Prithvi's body and cries on the city street at midnight, he suddenly feels a faint thump... thump... THUMP... coming from her heart. Crying, he says, "You haven't left me yet... I will save you, Prithvi." He holds her body tightly and, at super speed, leaves the city for an old house in the forest. An old lady inside the house is shocked to see him. "It's been so long, Jinwoo...!" she exclaims. "I don't have time to talk, ma'am... Please help this girl... somehow," he pleads. "Who is this... what happened...? It's so painful to see..." she says, placing her hand on Prithvi's chest. She feels a heartbeat and says in shock, "Oh my...! This girl is still alive... This is a miracle! But she is in a lot of pain... Her head is severely damaged." "Please... help her first. She is my soul... Her name is Prithvi," Jinwoo says. The old lady, whose name is Alice, looks at him thoughtfully. "Your soul... hmm... It seems you love her... Alright... I'll take care of it." Placing her hand on Prithvi's forehead, she says, "Prithvi... I will heal you... My name is Alice." As Jinwoo leaves, Alice looks at Prithvi's brutal wounds, her head injury, and bent bones with a firm determination. She whispers, "I will save you..." Jinwoo returns to the city to a terrible sight. There are only dead bodies – civilians, army soldiers – and blood everywhere. There is total silence. "Who did this..." he says in a cold tone. The Unworthy World Chapter 1: Adheera's Sealing 5000 years ago, during a fierce storm, a powerful being named Adheera stood with a bloody sword. His eyes were red, and his demeanor was calm, powerful, and dangerous. "No one is worthy of me... they know how to fight... but there is no thrill," he said, looking at the last warrior standing, an injured High Sage. "You are not a man... you are an evil demon," the sage said. Adheera smirked. "I have realized that there is no worthy opponent for me in this world... I will seal myself now." At midnight, in a massive stone temple with a glowing rune circle in the middle, Adheera performed a self-sealing ritual. His final words before being sealed in stone and magic were, "If this world does not give me a worthy enemy after 5000 years... I'll destroy it... with a smile." In the present day, a gang of local treasure hunters arrives at the abandoned forest temple. The gang leader orders his men to clean out the temple, hoping to find gold or diamonds. One of them, Rivan, discovers a mysterious underground passage and follows it down a stone stairway. He finds a massive sealed box with an inscription in an old language he can't understand. Assuming it contains gold, he decides to open it. As the seal breaks, the temple shakes with thunder and wind. A large black-red light blasts out, and a dark figure forms from the dust. Adheera has returned. In a deep, angry voice, he says, "Still weaklings... but at least... I am awake now." Chapter 2: The First Slaughter As the dust settles, Adheera slowly approaches the shocked Rivan and, with lightning speed, grabs him by the neck. "Who are you?!" Rivan struggles to ask. "I am... Adheera," he replies calmly but deadly. "Let go of my neck! Or... I will kill you! My gang is upstairs... with weapons and people ready!" Rivan threatens. Adheera laughs. "Oh... you are strong? I think it's a waste of time to kill you. But your 'gang' is here... My game... STARTS NOW." With his pure physical strength, he rips off Rivan's arm. As Rivan screams in fear and pain, Adheera holds his head and says, "After you... it's your gang's turn... But I'm telling you — if there is no worthy opponent for me in this world... EVERYONE IS DEAD." He then slices off Rivan's head.
