'Then, if you had abandoned the mother nature, come and embrace me…' a shadow appeared in front of Maroch, Maroch couldn't fathom what was in front of him, 'I am Urduk, the corrupted.'

'The corrupted?' Maroch asked. 

'I am solely created by my master, God Han Ye, to be his representative to corrupt the world. But I need a real body to contain myself, and I need the body of a tormented creature to live.'

'Maroch, you are the one suitable for me. Don't you see how that evil Elven King and Elven Priest killed your entire tribe? And that Elven King decapitated your brother without remorse. Are you going to let this happen? Do you want them to kill everyone?'

'You want justice, right?'' Urduk asked.

'Yes…' Maroch answered.

'Embrace me then. You will be the beast of corruption. Together, we shall destroy everything on the earth, including the elves. We will make them our slaves and feast upon their frail body.'

Maroch stared at the corrupted shadow for a moment. He knew that he had lost everything unjustly, and his tormented soul would be a vengeful spirit in the end. Because he couldn't forgive the Elven Priest and Elven King, he accepted the shadow. 'Take my body. I want to avenge my tribe and my little brother…'

'Good, God HanYe will be very pleased with your willingness,' the shadow said. He entered Maroch's body and began the process of merging their soul together.

***

Elven King Elyon and Elven Priest Euran returned to the Elven Kingdom with complete victory. Again, they had killed another beast tribe and was hailed as the messiah of the Sacred Tree. 

They were planning to continue doing this until the Elven King Elyon suddenly started acting weird. He became erratic, and the previously mighty king slowly descended into madness for an unknown reason.

Meanwhile, Elven Priest Euran also suddenly isolated himself. He rarely left his house and never opened his door for anyone who asked for healing or help. Little did they know, the Elven Priest Euran was now on his bed with a beastman that Elven King had killed a few weeks ago, Maroch.

"Ah! Ah! S—Slowly!" Euran moaned when Maroch thrust deeper and faster. He was naked and covered in sweat. 

Maroch grinned when he thrust in. "Elyon must've been brokenhearted right now. He loves you, you know that, right?"

"Ahhh, I don't care! He will never touch me anyway. Come, fuck me harder!" Euran yelled. Maroch moved faster, and after a brief moment, Euran screamed and ejaculated, followed by Maroch. Maroch shot all his corruption essence inside the Elven Priest.

Euran was too tired to think. He had been doing this with the beast for a while and enjoyed every part of it. He didn't understand how this beast could live again, but he forgot about his question and just enjoyed the moment since he was drowning in pleasure. 

Maroch/Urduk checked on Euran's heart. When he saw the ink spot in Euran's heart that started spreading around his heart, Maroch was finally sure that the Elven Priest had been defiled. His heart was not pure anymore.

'Now… I have to weaken the Sacred Tree.' Maroch planned.

***

"Your Majesty, the Sacred Tree is weakening. We have to retrieve the essence of the earth in Marduk Lake," Euran said to King Elyon.

King Elyon was already suspicious of Priest Euran because the shadow always came to him at night and whispered that Euran had another lover.

"Then, let's go and retrieve it, just the two of us," Elyon said.

Euran and Elyon went on a journey far east to the Marduk Lake. But along the way, the seed of doubt between Euran and Elyon slowly grew. In the end, Elyon killed Euran in a fit of rage after discovering that Euran had had sex with a filthy beast. Then, Elyon killed himself because of his own grief. He killed his loved one.

The Elven Priest and Elven King died before they could reach their destination to the Marduk Lake.

When Maroch/Urduk was about to take over the world and enslave the elves, Sacred Tree immediately appointed a new Elven Priest and Elven King to save the elves. Although the new Elven King died in the end after fighting against Maroch/Urduk. The Elven Priest had successfully sealed the beast of corruption for a century. The Sacred Tree will automatically recover the essence of the earth.

Thus, it became almost like a mandatory test every few centuries when the beast of corruption, Urduk, was released from his chain and wreak havoc again. The appointed Elven King and Priest would need to retrieve the essence of the earth by sealing Urduk or personally go to Marduk Lake to retrieve it. 

Centuries had passed, and Maroch/Urduk never succeeded to destroy the world, but the Sacred Tree also had its limit. It had lost its power to retrieve the essence of the earth. 

If Erolith and Elduin couldn't retrieve the essence of the earth, then the Sacred Tree would die alongside the newborn elves. 

Thus, Elduin and Erolith's success was determinant to save the world. 

[So, this is a cursed cycle that forces the Elven Priest and King to retrieve the essence of the earth to save the Sacred Tree, but Urduk will always come between them and taint their heart, right?]

[Pupa: Correct. Fortunately, Urduk never succeeded. But in every cycle, he would kill the Elven King, and the Elven Priest would seal Urduk once more. This is an endless cycle of hell.]

[Then, how about the essence of the earth?]

[Pupa: Once Urduk died, the essence of the earth will automatically return to the Sacred Tree. In fact, no Elven King and Priest before you has ever reached Marduk Lake. So, nobody knows what the essence of the earth is and how to personally retrieve it from Marduk Lake without the Sacred Tree's help. This world is an endless cycle of hatred and revenge.]

[… what a painful world to live in, is this all created by Han Ye?] Yunyu asked. [That shadow said to Maroch that he was created by God Han Ye. So, Han Ye is a… god?]

[Pupa: I don't know. Perhaps, there is this unknown deity called Han Ye that created Urduk.]

[But why would a deity create such a painful world?]

[Pupa: I don't know….]

Yunyu was unsure whether this God Han Ye they were talking about was the same Han Ye in his real world. Because when he entered that backup world, Taewoo and Kibum had Han Ye's face.

[This is confusing and scary, Pupa. And I thought we are in a fun and happy quick transmigration story.]

[Pupa: Everything has a consequence. Do you think those whom you left behind after your Quick Transmigration will forget you immediately? Like a butterfly effect, your action in each world give an impact.]

Yunyu was silenced. He didn't know who Han Ye really was and their past together. But if Han Ye could create such a thing, he must have been tormented for a long time. Yunyu clenched his pained heart.

[Pupa, whenever I remember about Han Ye, my heart always hurt.] 

*Hidden plot end*

Yunyu opened his eyes and was surprised because he was teleported to a small lake in the middle of a thick forest. His eyes observed around in confusion. Yunyu was surprised when a strong hand hugged him from behind.

Urduk's rubbed his cheek on Priest Erolith's cheek, then whispered. "Priest Erolith, we are in Marduk Lake."
