Into the book
A bear or a wild boar can't tie her hands and feet, so people must have raided the mountain lodge. If there was an enemy, it's unclear why they didn't kill her but just tied her up and left her there.
Isn't it?
Are you already dead, but you are pretending not to notice the death because it is too difficult to bear the extreme state of death?
I was confused myself, so I tried making a sound with my mouth, saying things like "I'm in pain," "I'm alive," and "I'm moving" in my voice.
Dead people can't make sounds like this.
At best, it only produces a whistling gas sound that occurs later as the body decomposes.
The sound of welcoming a messenger.
--- pp.8~9
So last night.
Continue the cut scene.
What happened after dinner?
Did someone come to the mountain lodge where only two people were?
Think, think, did he tell you to think, or did he tell you not to think?
I think it's important to know and distinguish exactly when to think and when not to think.
No, neither.
Always think, but don't let time pass between thought and action.
You have to think every moment, but if you get lost in thought, you die.
--- pp.9~10
- You tried to gouge out my eyes.
Not towards him, but towards myself for forgetting for a moment that he was this kind of person.
How could I have let my guard down, he clearly said so before we left.
After you get into this car, I'll rebuild your body from start to finish.
I'll pull out everything from the head to the limbs, torso and internal organs and put them back together.
Are you okay?
The question, which had no escape route, rang in her ears like a dart, and instead of answering, she glared at him, opened the car door, and got in.
--- pp.16~17
He picks up a knife about two spans long with the handles together and fiddles with it.
It was a clean blade that had never even touched a drop of blood, cut or cut anything, let alone reached the center of the heart, shining sharply as if it had just been sharpened in the forge the day before yesterday.
The dazzling light of that extension, which would draw countless bloods like a magnet and demand someone's life, stimulated the impulse and resistance coexisting in her mind with almost equal magnitude and depth, and she turned her body with the utmost speed she had ever imagined... (omitted)
- About half a second? I hesitated.
Right? Should I really stab this kid, should I really draw his line? He's acting vague, so I can't.
Once you've made up your mind and picked up a knife, don't hesitate.
--- pp.26~27
The metal in my hand is slippery with sweat.
And maybe the chance is once.
I am not idle enough to ponder the strangeness that comes to my mind when I realize that it is a living, moving animal, not a target.
The guy is running.
She holds a world in her two hands and shatters it.
The world shatters like a crushed fruit with just one gunshot.
The sound of the explosion strikes her ears like a thunderbolt, but she does not break down at the sound.
My eyes are burning.
With this, nothing can be undone and there is no going back.

Publisher's Review
“Once you’ve made up your mind and picked up a sword, don’t hesitate.”
The name most strongly engraved in Korean novels, ‘Jogak.’
Author Koo Byung-mo, through the protagonist of his masterpiece, Breakthrough, has created a new female narrative with the unique character of a “female killer in her 60s,” an unprecedented character in Korean novels.
The character, an 'elderly person' and a 'woman' who has been discriminated against as the weakest in society, fights against an oppressive and violent society with the strong name of 'killer'.
How did this unprecedented character sculpture, which has captivated readers around the world and been translated and published in 12 countries, come to be?
The answer is here.
Koo Byung-mo's new novel, "Shatter," is a spin-off of "Breakthrough," and depicts the beginning of how a character named "Jogak" became a killer.
Chogak, a teenage girl who has stepped into a harsh world where “you can’t get out of here alive until you kill that person” and “you can’t leave that room until you eliminate the person you’re facing,” cultivates an “orchard of death” by “constantly instilling in her the body she must become and the body she must achieve in order to do her future work.”
The story of the birth of a piece that, through harsh training that bordered on the brink of death, learned how to destroy others and ultimately chose to shatter its own life, is vividly brought to life through the overwhelming prose of author Koo Byung-mo.
50 stories in 50 books in one year
A special experience that allows you to breathe deeply into 'a single story'
Beginning in November 2022, Wisdom House will be introducing the most diverse and newest stories of Korean literature, one per week, through its short story serial project, "Weekly Fiction."
The series is released every Wednesday through the Wisdom House website and newsletter 'We Pick'.
Beginning with author Koo Byeong-mo's "Shred," 50 stories will be released to readers over the course of a year.
The Wepick series publishes novels that have finished serialization in this way sequentially.
The first five stories will be released on March 8th, and four stories will be published every second Wednesday of the month thereafter, creating a festival of 50 stories throughout the year.
This time, rather than the conventional method of binding together several short stories, the book is composed of only one short story, an unusual attempt that provides readers with a special experience of breathing deeply into each story.
Wepick is not bound by any criteria or distinctions such as material or format, and focuses solely on the completeness of a single story.
Through novels by a variety of authors, including novelists, non-fiction writers, poets, and youth literature writers, we break down genres and boundaries, expanding the possibilities and enjoyment of stories.
There is also a special gift inside the book.
This is a supplementary poster titled 'One Novel', which contains an entire novel on one poster.
A single novel offers readers the special experience of encountering a story in a new way.
