Oh my god. The moment I saw the words "egg" and "world" together, I knew it must be Hermann Hesse's "Demian" (the German helped, too). I'm with you, Korea and Japan, in loving my Hesse. (There was a BL called "Demian Complex" as well, using the same-ish idea as the quote in this first chapter...althought this quote is from later on in the book than the idea used in Demian Complex....I'll shut up now.)
