The fickle ball of fire quivered under the assault of the gray mist. Its brilliance dimmed as it threatened to extinguish under the air of death any second.
“Haa…”
My hand relaxed and muscles let go of the tension. The mist vanished like the wind, the trembling ball of fire soon returned to normalcy. Floating without any care in the world. I frowned. How long had I been doing this?! And moreover…
I turned to look at Ash who seemed to happily tap awa...

The meal at the steakhouse ended somewhat uneventfully. Well I thought it was gonna end uneventfully. Until…
“Kaiti, you can’t only eat cheesecake.” The Old man said with a deep frown. He was certainly, upset.
“Why not?”
The Old man sighed hearing my reply. “You’re gonna get diabetes from eating only sweets. And even if you don’t, it’s still terrible for your health.”
But I wasn’t even human. And what was ‘diabet...

I woke up to the sun hitting my face. Everything was quiet. Too quiet. I rubbed my eyes trying to clear my vision and soon my eyes landed on a distant white square. A small piece of paper that contrasted with the black coffee table.
I looked to my left — since I had claimed the bed next to the window — and Ash was missing, her bed was neatly folded. Well I remembered her using the bed. It was a bit weird to remember she just slept in the living room of the apar...

I could barely see amidst the darkness, non-distinct shapes approached with screeches. Why did it have to be dark? I scowled and prepared myself. Ash was— she was angry. A ghoul leaped towards me, or a shadow did. I repositioned my scythe like a staff and did an upwards sweep with the blade facing up. A shriek followed and blood splattered on my legs.
I blinked, seeing a bit better now that my eyes had readjusted, there was barely any light— everythi...

The morning was uneventful. I did get my backpack. Well Ash had given it to me after it was apparently retrieved, though I just awoke to my backpack being there. I used new black clothes, and that was that— they looked very similar, though it was more like a blouse rather than a turtleneck this time around.
Like a proper morning should begin, I was woken up Ash using the phone next to the bed to order a cheesecake. And like any morning should begin, another cheese...

I closed the door behind me. The officer waved at me with a small smile. Unlike the other one that had questioned us, this one was actually receptive to my tales! At first I was slightly skeptical, but to my surprise he never stopped me. Not even once.
Ash walked next to me as I turned to her. “That was great! I never thought they would never believe me!” Needless to say, I was happy. Though I didn’t mention how my fight went with the tentacle monster— that made me depres...

Officer Carter enjoyed his job. He really enjoyed the leisure of the night shift, or more specifically how calm the nightlife was in his area. After all, it was the countryside. He did think it was a bit of a pain to end his shift, given how tired he felt after it was over, he wasn’t much of a night owl compared to a lot of his coworkers.
However, he had lucked out. He wasn’t a hardworking man, or well. He didn’t consider himself a hardworking man. Always choosin...

I took a deep breath on the ground. I was weak… The monster was long dead. Footsteps echoed, and Ash stood next to me.
“Well done Kaiti.” Ash said, ruffling my hair, her hand was warm. “You’ve done well, the fact that you’re alive is proof of it.”
Hearing her words something broke inside of me. I was a Grim Reaper. I was supposed to be the natural enemy of this monster. And yet I barely scraped by the skin of my teeth. And it was all thanks to b...

The white faded into trails of blue smoke. Ash stood at the edge of my vision. She no longer wore a onesie, but an outfit clad in black— rugged, a vest full of pockets with various magical tools. Her legs had various knives on them as well as a small bone wand, and her back had blades and various weapons.
“Glad to see you’re still alive.” Ash commented with a sarcastic tone as she made her way towards me leisurely, completely ignoring the monster.
“Sorry…” I tried...

Liquid pooled at the touch melting through the sofa, the black tentacles wiggled as they expanded onto the floor and ceiling of the apartment, soon it became a wriggling mass of flesh that constantly dripped darkness. I blankly stared at everything that was happening.
Why was a being from — Was he even from the Underworld?! — Why was something like that here?! It reminded me of the teacher I once had during my studies, but this one was much more unrestrained,...

Under the blue light we sat on a chair, a husky cackle echoed throughout the tunnel.
¨Hahaha! So you’re saying you fell while climbing the tree and scared the kid?”
I scratched my cheek, I was embarrassed about lying, but I couldn’t really tell him the kid saw me holding a scythe of death.
“Yeah…” A sigh escaped me as I looked into the blue glass wall that stretched the entire length of the tunnel.
“But why were you climbing a tree though?” The Old man...
