Death Contract (PUBLISHED)

Saint Archangel

Saint Archangel

In this world, there are many things you cannot explain. Things that only believers can know and understand. Things that a person who lives only in this world to die can not comprehend. Human life is short. That is the biggest difference between them and other creatures that quietly and secretly live with them. Creatures with a single duty: that is to keep the balance of the world. The world is shrouded in so much mystery. Mysteries that only a few people know about and will continue to know about.

While walking down the hallway of the school, now called Adelaide Academy, which when I last visited was a forest, a forest that creatures like me call paradise, that place is sacred, and unholy souls are not admitted. A paradise where I remember my siblings and I playing and happily visiting the world with Dad. But many things have happened as fast as the weather in this world is changing. I was punished for a sin I don't remember. Fallen angels like me and those punished have no memory of the thing that caused the punishment. Whatever it was, it looked like a big thing that made Dad angry.

I couldn't help but shrug off, not remembering the past as my feet continued to walk amidst so many students just penetrating me.

Wearing a hat, a black cloak, black shoes, and carrying a small black envelope, I turned towards the Dean's office. Today I have a soul to fetch as my duty. Whether it is something I want or not, I will not be able to escape.

By an unexpected coincidence, I was continuing to follow the person I was going to pick up when, by an unexpected coincidence, someone suddenly stopped in front of the person who was destined to die today. I totally didn't expect her to suddenly look directly at me. In the few years I have lived as a Grim Reaper, I have never once experienced looking directly into the eyes of any creature, whether living or dead. But today is different from normal days. A student suddenly appeared and looked at me. At first, I thought she was looking in the other direction, so I ignored it.

When I turned to her, she was a woman in her 20s. Compared to all the other students here, she was unique because she simply dressed, wearing a simple blouse and skinny jeans while carrying a book.

"Dean, please don't go to your office today." That's what he said after touching the person I was going to pick up. I couldn't help but be surprised. But eventually, I realised he could actually see me and he could read what was going to happen. That's when I smiled.

It looks like she's the Guardian of the Soul of these centuries. The Guardian of Souls appeared in the year 2000.

"Dean, please listen to me. Don't go to your office just for today. " That's when I gasped for breath. In fact, no matter what a person does to avoid their death, nothing will happen. He will not die today. He will also die the next day because that is the design of death. They would just give the death compiler a lot of work for what they were doing, and they would bother us, who still had to hunt for fifteen souls per day and ten at night. Let's say we don't sleep and rest, but don't they know that it takes a long time to make death notes and reports to be forwarded to the ministry of death? Tsk! Worthless human.

The woman insisted on restraining her Dean, and I watched until late. Later, the students gathered, and some were already laughing at the woman. I couldn't help but tilt my head in astonishment. If you think about it, she is not related to the dean. What does she care if he dies? But I was also the only one who answered my own question. Well, she is the Guardian of the Soul, after all. It was in her nature to care about humans who were dying. Something she could snatch and give.

"Stop it, Miss Ivanovich! You're not funny anymore. Let me call your parents tomorrow. " After that, the dean left, so I followed. That day, I had no idea that this woman would be a big part of my life. A woman who will change and unravel secrets I don't remember. That's the first time I saw her, or the second if I count the incident that happened years ago. However, that day, I actually didn't know that she was the child of Eve, my destined bride.
