NTH 59

Jeha, who was pacing around the living room with Jin on his back, immediately strode into the room upon hearing those words. After carefully laying Jin down on the bed, Jeha layered his body over him and lightly licked his lips with his tongue.

In that brief moment, a tingling sensation, as if an electric current had passed through, spread from his tongue throughout his entire body. Jeha, who was wetting and tasting the entirety of Jin’s lips, slowly pressed their four lips together, overlapping them.

Thrusting into the mouth that opened as if to welcome him, he spread his tongue wide and stroked every nook and cranny of Jin’s tongue. Jin reached out his arms and hugged Jeha’s body tightly.

Blood rushed to his genitals as if in a mad dash, making Jeha’s mind go numb. He wanted to bite and suck all over the white, slender nape of Jin’s neck, which had been stimulating his lust for hundreds of years, and leave marks on it.

Mine. This is my territory.

“Hngh, ungh……”

As Jeha gently caressed Jin’s nape and cheek, he moaned, crushing his pretty voice. The desire to violate Jin’s nipples with the tip of his tongue and to take his genitals in his hand and knead them made Jeha’s lower body swell up.

The kiss deepened. Like a person who had discovered an oasis in the desert, Jeha sucked and drank Jin’s saliva without letting a single drop spill. In his current state, it was obvious he would pound into him like a beast regardless of whether the delicate entrance tore or not, so he had to be careful. Jeha knelt like a four-legged animal, bent his waist, and kissed him deeply.

Jin’s lower body, as he tossed and turned as if in agony, was bulging. When he stealthily brushed his hand against it, Jin’s body flinched as if electrocuted. As he slowly pulled down the pajamas and underwear, he let out a languid voice.

“You take yours off too. Let’s do it together.”

“If I touch yours, I really don’t think I can hold back. I’ll do it for you today.”

Jeha grabbed the thin thighs above the slender, straight calves and slowly spread them apart. He clutched one of the soft mounds in each hand and kneaded them. It felt like holding soft, fluffy rice cakes in his hands.

“Hnng, it feels good……”

Unable to hold back any longer, Jeha grabbed both of Jin’s legs and pulled them wide apart. He opened his mouth and sucked Jin’s genitals, from which beads of pre-ejaculate were forming and dripping, into his mouth in one go.

“Hah…! Wai, wait, just like that…! Ahh……”

After deliciously eating the shaft that was gradually hardening, he licked it up thickly from the root. A watery fluid spurted out from the narrow opening at the tip of the genitals. Jeha swallowed it all before it could even trickle down. A strong impulse arose to suck every fluid in Jin’s body dry.

Absurdly, he felt like he understood why the Parasitic Spirit had chosen Jin as its host. If it could make even Jeha, a real human and not a ghost, a top-tier soul whose body was brimming with yang energy, so greedy, how desperate a prey must he be to a monster that was the incarnation of yin energy.

Jeha moved his tongue downward and explored the two small, firm, round balls. After rolling them with his tongue like candy and sucking his fill, he tightened his throat so that the genitals pressed against it and began to move his head back and forth.

“Ah, hngh…, ah! Aaah!”

Jin lifted his hips and let out a shrill, ecstatic cry.

Jeha’s desire to take things as slowly as possible also reached its limit. Jeha reached a hand under Jin’s shirt and found the nub in the middle of his flat chest. After fiddling and toying with it a few times, he could feel the nipple become hard and erect.

He continued his head movements while pinching it with his thumb and index finger and rubbing it gently, and Jin screamed a high-pitched sound.

“Haaah, no, I’m, I’m coming……!”

“It’s okay to cum.”

“No, it’s dirty, hngh…… I’m telling you I’m coming, ungh, aaah……!

In that instant, Jin’s body stiffened with his hips lifted in the air. Jeha received and drank all of the fluid that gushed out from his genitals.

After confirming that Jin was sound asleep, Jeha went to the room with the exercise equipment and did some strength training. After working up a good sweat, he took a cold shower, and his head felt much clearer.

He took a sparkling water from the refrigerator and gulped it down before heading to the study. He sat in the leather chair and checked his phone, finding some nutrition-less messages from acquaintances.

Skimming past them, Jeha turned on the computer and connected to the internet. For a while now, he had been gathering information indiscriminately.

#Reincarnation

#First-Class Soul

#Parasitic Spirit

The search results were always either excessively numerous or too few.

For ‘Reincarnation’, over three million results appeared, including song titles and all sorts of useless information. On the other hand, for ‘Parasitic Spirit’, only a few strategy guides came up, as it was being used as a character in some game, and for ‘First-Class Soul’, which meant a high-level soul, there were almost no search results at all.

Having failed his portal site search, Jeha looked up similar keywords on YouVid. He scrolled down, click-click-click, with indifferent eyes skimming over gruesome thumbnails with sensational titles, when he happened to discover the channel of a shaman YouVid-er with over a hundred thousand followers.

The YouVid-er was a young man with a rather neat face, wearing the same bright red Hanbok overcoat in all of his videos. And among his list of videos, a title caught Jeha’s eye.

「Shocking Interview – Meeting a Reincarnated Man Who Remembers Ten Past Lives」

Jeha clicked on the video.

「Hello! This is Cheonsu Doryeong, your slightly special friend. In this video, as I previewed last time, I will be conducting an interview with a man who remembers ten of his past lives. I ask for your understanding regarding the mosaic filter and voice modulation used to protect his identity.」

This kind of thing eroded credibility. It was highly likely to be a script concocted to increase view counts.

In the video, Cheonsu Doryeong went on and on explaining the process of how the reincarnated man came to share his story with him, and Jeha watched with a glazed look in his eyes.

A moment later, the man, his face blurred into a mosaic, finally appeared on screen.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: Hello. For convenience, I will call you ‘Reincarnated Man-nim’. Do you really remember your past lives?

— Reincarnated Man: Yes, I do.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: What was the oldest past life you can remember?

— Reincarnated Man: The Joseon Dynasty. During the time of King Taejo.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: Oh, Taejo Yi Seong-gye! The king who founded Joseon! So what kind of life were you living back then, Reincarnated Man-nim?

— Reincarnated Man: I lived as a commoner, farming. To be honest, I think I was born before that as well, but I don’t remember it well. It was when I was a Third-Class soul.

Jeha’s eyes flew open.

The phrase ‘Third-Class soul’ was not something just anyone could say. Even the Korean folklore professors he had met did not know about such specific soul classifications.

More importantly, Third-Class souls did not even know they were Third-Class. That is because one had to be at least Second-Class to realize that they had grown from being a Third-Class soul.

Jeha straightened his posture and focused his eyes and ears on the video.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: What exactly is that, a ‘Third-Class soul’?

— Reincarnated Man: Human souls are largely divided into First-Class, Second-Class, and Third-Class. Most souls are the lowest, Third-Class souls, and a very small fraction of these reincarnate, and when that is repeated, they become Second-Class.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: What changes when you become Second-Class?

— Reincarnated Man: From Second-Class onwards, you can remember past lives sporadically. It’s impossible for Third-Class souls.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: Oho. Then I suppose First-Class is the highest. What abilities do you gain when you become First-Class?

— Reincarnated Man: From the moment they are born, a First-Class soul can remember all of their past lives. They are born retaining all the knowledge and experience they’ve accumulated from their past lives. However, they can only exhibit the abilities built up from past lives after their newly born body has grown enough to learn to speak and move on its own.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: Wow, that’s really amazing. And what else?

— Reincarnated Man: Other than that, well, not much. You don’t get superpowers like in the movies.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: I see. Then, Reincarnated Man-nim, are you a First-Class soul right now?

— Reincarnated Man: Yes.

From Jeha’s perspective, everything the reincarnated man said was correct, but the lack of mention about the significant development of the five senses or physical abilities felt a little unsettling.

Jeha had never met another First-Class soul besides himself. So he did not know for sure if such abilities were unique to him or if all First-Class souls had them.

The video continued to play.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: What would be a good thing about remembering all your past lives?

— Reincarnated Man: To be honest, reincarnation is just being born again, not going back to the past, so there aren’t that many advantages. There’s nothing like knowing about future events like in the movies.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: I see.

— Reincarnated Man: You also can’t control where or how you’ll be reborn. Still, I was mostly born into good environments.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: Have you ever been born in a country other than Korea?

— Reincarnated Man: Yes. I’ve been born in India, China, and South America.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: What about your gender?

— Reincarnated Man: It was different every time. Sometimes as a woman, sometimes as a man.

That part was completely different from Jeha. He was always reborn on Korean soil and only with a male gender.

Cheonsu Doryeong then asked the reincarnated man to speak in other languages like Hindi and Brazilian Portuguese, and the reincarnated man demonstrated some language skills. Since Jeha could not speak Hindi or Brazilian Portuguese at all, it was difficult for him to judge whether his pronunciation was fluent.

Cheonsu Doryeong asked the reincarnated man again.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: Have you ever visited lovers or family from your past lives?

— Reincarnated Man: I couldn’t do that because I was born in a different country each time.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: Do you ever think of them or miss them?

— Reincarnated Man: Sometimes I did, and sometimes I didn’t. As I repeated reincarnation, I gradually became numb to such feelings.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: Then is this your second time being born in Korea?

— Reincarnated Man: Yes. It was very interesting to learn about the time I lived in again through Korean history.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: I see. Excuse me for asking, but what do you do for a living now?

— Reincarnated Man: I run a small business.

— Cheonsu Doryeong: I’m a shaman, but I have no memories of being reincarnated, so I’ve always been personally curious, if you know there is a next life, does your current life become less regretful?

— Reincarnated Man: No. As they say, it is better to roll in a dog-poop field in this life than to be in the next. Life is always precious. And since I have no idea how long I can keep reincarnating like this, I always live diligently thinking this is my last life.

For the next few minutes, Cheonsu Doryeong made small talk, saying things like the General he serves was telling him that the reincarnated man’s words were true. Compared to the title, it was a somewhat trivial and bland interview.

Suddenly curious about people’s reactions, Jeha looked at the comment section below the video.

— Seriously, I doubt the intelligence of people who believe this stuff

— Cheonsu Doryeong-nim has something on his face. Handsomeness!

— Is reincarnation for real. Then what kind of sin did I commit in my past life to be born in Hell-Joseon?

— In the year two thousand and twenty-two, I have had two thousand and twenty-two out-of-body experiences.

— The feeling you sometimes get that something has happened before for no reason, that’s because of a past life, right?

↳ dude that’s just déjà vu

↳ a past life would be at least decades ago, how could the exact same thing have happened then?

— I am currently accumulating virtue to meet good parents in my next life. I pretended my connection dropped and hung up when my so-called parents from this life called me asking to borrow money.

— Look into my eyes, you are getting reincarnated

As expected, the general atmosphere was one of disbelief. No one would be unaware that questioning the authenticity of such content is meaningless.

However, since a few things that only one who has truly repeated reincarnation could know came from the reincarnated man in the video, Jeha had to grasp at even the slightest straw. He wanted to meet that person and ask if he knew anything about the Parasitic Spirit. And also whether his physical abilities were several times greater than an ordinary person’s or not.

Jeha clicked on Cheonsu Doryeong’s profile. It was written that he ran a fortune-telling house somewhere in Y City, Gyeonggi Province, and provided paid in-person consultations to those who made reservations. Y City was, as it happened, not far from Gu Minho’s residence.

Jeha had witnessed humans with spiritual abilities prostrate themselves and tremble before Gu Minho several times. If Cheonsu Doryeong was a truly spiritually gifted person and it was true that he served a spirit called a General or whatever, he would be able to recognize at once that Gu Minho was not human.
