Myriad Immortals Return to Origin
Dan Ha and So Ryeong waited days for Lee Seo-jun, who never came, and finally gave up.
“…He’s not coming.”
So Ryeong muttered, hugging her knees. There was no strength in her voice.
Dan Ha said nothing. She simply stared into empty air.
They waited one more day. Still nothing.
In the end, with their food gone, the two had no choice but to leave that place.
When they stopped at a nearby village, they heard shocking news.
Taeheo Pavilion, Guihon Gate, and even the Red Blood Sect—all three forces had suffered near-total annihilation. And all at the hands of a single man: Wang Tae-ho.
That wasn’t all. Horrifying stories spread that Wang Tae-ho alone had slaughtered every nearby power and torn the hearts from living humans to devour them.
The fates of Seo Ran and Lee Seo-jun remained unknown.
Lee Seo-jun.
Is he alive?
The villagers’ whispers brushed past her ears. Dan Ha sat on the stone rim of the well, staring down at her feet. Her red eyes were flat and empty of feeling.
Mom…
In the end, she hadn’t even managed a single conversation.
If I’d known it would turn out like this…
From behind, So Ryeong quietly approached and sat beside her.
“…Dan Ha.”
“Yeah.”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine….”
It was a short answer. So Ryeong didn’t press further. Instead she simply stayed there in silence at Dan Ha’s side.
Dan Ha closed her eyes.
He’s alive. He has to be.
She wanted to believe it. Lee Seo-jun was the kind of bastard who would claw his way out of even a death trap.
Then So Ryeong carefully asked,
“What do we do now?”
Going back was impossible. Returning to a place where Wang Tae-ho was massacring people just to search for Lee Seo-jun and her mother was no different from suicide. But they couldn’t simply keep hiding either.
“I don’t know….”
“…I-If you don’t have anywhere to go, want to come to my house…?”
“Your house?”
“Yeah… Actually I ran away from home… If I go back I’ll get scolded half to death, but it’ll be safe. Probably?”
“Let’s do that.”
The decision made, the two quickly slipped out of the village.
The entire walk, So Ryeong chattered nonstop at her side—how terrifying her father was, what kind of earful she would get when she returned. She poured out every worry.
Dan Ha walked half-listening until something felt off and she stopped.
At Dan Ha’s sudden halt, So Ryeong broke off mid-sentence and stopped as well.
“Why’d you stop all of a sudden?”
“There’s… something up ahead.”
A presence stirred from inside the undergrowth.
“C-Could it be Wang Tae-ho…?”
So Ryeong’s face went deathly pale.
Dan Ha drew her sword at once.
“Come out.”
With those words, something emerged from the forest.
“Squeak—!”
“A rat…?”
It was a pure-white rat, no bigger than a palm, with long whiskers. The rat looked back and forth between them, then gave another short cry.
“Squeak.”
So Ryeong patted her chest in relief.
“What, it’s just a rat. I thought my heart was going to stop for real.”
Dan Ha did not lower her sword.
The rat was strange. An ordinary rat would have fled the moment it saw people. This one not only refused to run—it had boldly stepped out onto the path.
And from that tiny body came a palpable pressure.
A spirit beast.
The instant Dan Ha adjusted her grip, the rat launched itself.
“Squeak-squeak—!”
It sprang forward in a blur, then used its feet to race up the flat of Dan Ha’s blade in a heartbeat—wrist, forearm, shoulder, all the way to her chest.
“Kyaa…!”
It was far too fast. No time to react.
“Dan Ha!”
So Ryeong lunged and cupped the rat in both hands. It offered no resistance and was caught obediently.
“Squeak.”
So Ryeong set the rat on her palm and narrowed her eyes.
“Dan Ha, it’s carrying something on its back?”
Dan Ha leaned in for a closer look.
A small bamboo slip was bound to the rat’s back with a thin red thread.
Dan Ha’s hand slowly reached out and untied it.
The moment she unrolled the slip, the writing came into view.
Seoha, I’m safe.
“…Mom.”
Her fingers lightly brushed the characters on the bamboo. It was a short sentence. That was all. But it was enough.
So Ryeong peeked from the side and tilted her head.
“Seoha?”
Dan Ha gave no answer. She carefully folded the slip and tucked it into her robes.
“Squeak.”
The rat cried again. Then it hopped down from So Ryeong’s palm and began running into the forest. After a few steps it stopped and looked back at Dan Ha.
It was telling them to follow.
“Let’s go.”
“Is it okay to follow?”
“It’s fine.”
Saying so, Dan Ha set off after the rat. So Ryeong hurried after her.
“Um… can I ask what Seoha is?”
“It’s my name.”
“Wasn’t your name Dan Ha?”
“Dan Ha was an alias I used to hide my identity.”
“…Then should I call you Seoha from now on?”
“Yeah. Now… it’s okay.”
So Ryeong looked at Dan Ha—no, Seoha—for a moment.
“Seoha, your name is pretty. Why’d you hide it all this time?”
“I’ll explain on the way. Hurry, or we’ll lose it.”
Seoha started walking ahead. The rat was already some distance in front.
So Ryeong quickened her steps to catch up, muttering,
“…Why does it feel so weird just from changing one name.”
I sat in lotus position at the heart of the waterfall, both eyes closed.
I wasn’t circulating qi. Just ordinary meditation.
Why the hell do I have to be doing this?
Seo Ran had ordered it, so I was doing it, but I had zero idea what I was supposed to be achieving.
Sitting around with my eyes shut felt like the opposite of training.
Do I really have to keep this up?
Thwack—
“Ow!”
A pebble flew with perfect accuracy and smacked into my forehead.
“Male, you were having stray thoughts again.”
I opened my eyes. A black wolf sat on the ground, kicking a pile of stones with its front paw.
That shitty mutt.
It was the wolf spirit beast Seo Ran had stuck on me for surveillance. Name: Rang.
“I wasn’t having stray thoughts.”
“Lie. I can tell from your face.”
“A spirit beast reading faces now?”
“Heh. Male’s face is easy.”
At the sight of Rang rolling another pebble with its paw, I squeezed my eyes shut and resumed the posture.
I hated it, but that shitty dog was stronger than me.
Thwack—
“You shitty mutt, why hit me this time?!”
“I was bored so I tried it. This is more fun than I thought.”
My hands and feet trembled with rage.
I-I’ll fucking kill it.
Barely suppressing the murderous intent, I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes again. The roar of the waterfall hammered my ears; spray soaked my face.
Hoo… deep breath… think only good thoughts.
That wolf pup’s real job was clearly to watch me while sabotaging every attempt at focus.
I forced the stray thoughts down and endured. At some point my mind began to quiet.
Only the waterfall remained; everything else drifted away.
So this is meditation.
And in that fleeting calm, Ho Hwa-rin’s naked body floated up unbidden.
Oh…
Pure white hair, golden eyes, springy breasts. Last night’s scenes started replaying on their own, and I got hard without even trying.
Is this really meditation?
Then Rang’s voice cut in again.
“Male, your breathing is too rough. When meditating, the breath should be calm.”
“…Shut up.”
Rang kicked another stone. It struck my forehead dead center.
Thwack—
“You bastard!”
I finally snapped and shot to my feet.
Rang sat there nonchalantly, slowly wagging its tail.
“You mustn’t get up. Seo Ran said to meditate.”
“Because of you the meditation’s gone to complete shit!”
“Not my fault. Male’s mind is simply scattered.”
“Hey, I’m trying to focus and you keep throwing rocks!”
“Two of the rocks were for stray thoughts. The other one was because I was bored. None of it is my fault.”
“Today I’m going to kill you and skin your entire hide!”
“Male cannot beat me.”
Rang finally rose as well. Black fur bristled; a low growl rumbled from its throat.
“Delicious!”
“Yeah, eat up.”
I won the fight. How? I simply tossed some decent food from my storage, and the thing dashed over and started devouring it.
No matter how well it talks, it’s still a beast.
I used the food to gently lower its guard and sat it down beside me.
No more meditation. Much better.
“Hey, can you transform into a human too?”
“Munch… possible… chomp chomp.”
“Don’t talk while you’re eating like a pig.”
“Gulp. Possible.”
“Then do it.”
Rang took another bite of meat with its front paw, then slowly rose. Black fur undulated like water; the low sound of bones twisting and muscles rearranging filled the air.
A moment later, Rang stood in a completely different form.
Black hair cascading to the waist. Healthy brown skin full of vitality. Wolf ears perked atop her head; a black tail swayed lazily behind her hips.
Large, springy breasts jiggled with every breath. The hips that flared from her slender waist drew perfect curves. Without the ears and tail she would have been a flawless beauty.
So it was a female all along.
Rang seemed to feel my gaze and lifted her head.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nothing. Just keep eating.”
“Got it.”
Watching her tear into raw meat in human form wasn’t exactly a pretty sight, but that wasn’t the point.
Daring to throw rocks at this body… you’ll pay the proper price.
I slowly approached from behind while she ate. Absorbed in the meat, Rang never noticed my presence.
Heheh. You’re dead.
Every time she bent to take another bite, that springy ass lifted naturally.
Bushy pussy hair, huh.
At the thought of properly educating this clueless beast bitch, the corners of my mouth curled up on their own.
The moment she bent again for another mouthful, I quietly reached out and wrapped my arms around her waist.
Rang’s body went rigid.
“…Male?”
“Came to collect damages.”
And just like that I seized her ass hard and drove my cock straight into her pussy in one thrust.
Schlick!
“Ugh, uugh…?!”
“Ohh, so this is dog pussy!”
With one hand I grabbed her black tail and lifted it slightly.
Her body tensed; her ass rose even higher.
“Haah… Male…! Pull it out—I have a husband!”
“You’ve got a husband? Even better.”
I slammed my hips like a madman.
Thwack! Thud! Thud! Thwaack!
“Ang, hieuk— S-Stop… eek…!”
When she tried to resist I cranked sensory amplification to thirty times.
In that instant her pussy clamped down on my cock like it was trying to crush it.
“Hiiiiiek♡”
At the first taste of that overwhelming pleasure her eyes rolled back.
“Hek♡ Ah, no…♡ Th-This is weird…♡ My head… is melting…♡”
“This is a human master’s cock!”
Schlick! Schlick! Schliiick!
I locked both hands on her waist and pounded like a beast. Her pussy swallowed me greedily, contracting in frantic waves as if it refused to let go. Inside she was scorching hot, ridiculously tight, and writhing like something alive.
“Hieuk…♡ No… I… have a husband…♡”
“Who the fuck cares! I’ll knock you up for every brain cell of mine that died today!”
Schlick! Schliiiick!!
“Hwaang…♡ Cock… too… big…♡ Inside… all… ruined…♡”
“Hryat! Hryat! You bitch of a female dog—how’s the human master’s cock feel?!”
Schliiick! Schlick!
“Ook…♡ Whine…♡”
