After coming out of her grave, for some time now, Ollie has been hiding in an empty house that is rarely passed by people, especially at night. The haunted atmosphere created in this house also made Ollie choose this house.

Right now she is still like a newborn baby in the world because her memory is still very little. The only memories she has right now are the memories of being with the figure of 'The Death' and the weird butterfly that brought her back to life.

Ollie looked at her own hands. The pale skin with many stitches and another purple skin that was visible was a patch, of course someone was responsible for assembling her body so that her soul could return to her current body.

Ollie heard a trickle of water from the ceiling that had almost collapsed and created a puddle on this dirty floor. She then went over to it and looked in the mirror to see her current face.

"So this is my face now."

A pale face with diagonal stitches that seemed to split her face into gray and purple parts. In addition, Ollie also noticed something different about her face.

The original color of her irises was red, but currently one of them was yellow and the other was greenish-red with a diamond shape in the middle.

"What the hell are these eyes?"

She tried to touch her red eyes and realized that the texture was hard and not soft and watery like a normal human eye, more like an eye attached to a stuffed toy.

Ollie still did not understand the purpose of the butterfly giving her 'a second chance' to live again. She didn't know what consequences it would take for her to come back to life and how 'Death' would react after learning that she had escaped the afterlife.

"As for my body, you could say I'm more flexible than other humans. This disassembled body, although it’s weird, it helps me a lot if I encounter something that threatens me."

Ollie tried to remove her left hand and it came off quite easily and she felt no pain at all. After putting it back on, she then tried to feel her heartbeat.

There was no pulse at all.

Somehow that made her feel sad. Ollie knew that she was dead, but thinking about it further made her feel tormented. She wasn't supposed to be in this world, but because of a small desire in her heart, she became what she is now.

"I almost forgot! That desire! It's what brought me back to life at this moment."

There was no time for Ollie to be sad. If this was the case then there was no turning back, she had to make a plan for her life going forward and Ollie had already divided it into three plans.

The first plan is to find the person who brought her back to life, then the next is to find out about her past and desires, and the last is to hand herself back to the figure of ‘The Death’.

Ollie realized that she was an anomaly in this world. So after she found out her desires during her lifetime, that was enough for her and she would return to the afterlife.

“Yosh ....”

After nodding her head and agreeing to the plan she had thought of, Ollie walked out of this empty house as it was already midnight. During the whole day, she stayed inside the house because she realized that her appearance was different from normal humans.

But when it was midnight until about 3 am was time for her to get some fresh air because humans were sleeping at that time.

Ollie also realized that she didn’t need to eat or sleep because biologically her body didn’t need anything like that anymore.
