Y/N POV

I was walking through the ruined streets of the city that had been more than devastated by Edwin Black's servants who, in the original timeline I came from were some of my closest friends, were turned his vampire servants and playthings. By this point, with the constant reincarnations into alternate realities, I have grown jaded to everything but I foolishly held onto hope that this timeline would be a happy one... I quickly realized that wasn't the case and after killing a Grim Reaper/Shinigami, I took their scythe as my own since I felt it fit my character perfectly, especially with my morbid sense of humor, the one thing I've been able to hold onto in terms of my original life. Aimlessly wandering the ruined streets, I sensed a human male rushing towards me with a metal pipe. Without a second thought, I knocked the pipe out of his hands, causing it to crash to the ground loudly.


I then swung my scythe at the man's legs, forcing him to his knees but I quickly unsheathed my Taimanin sword that was gifted to me by my original timeline's Asagi and decapitated him. As his head fell to the ground and his body hit the ground with a "Thud," I heard a woman cry out in despair and anger. Looking at her, I saw that she was a vampire. I then saw that she had a little girl, no doubt her daughter, which I quickly put two and two together. I had just killed her husband, who attacked me out of fear that I'd kill his family... I suppose he was right to believe so.

Vampire Mom: You bastard... You killed him!

Y/N: He attacked first.

Vampire Mom: He didn't deserve to die! He was a loving husband! He was trying to protect us from you, you monster!

Y/N: He shouldn't have attacked me. Not that it matters... *Looks around* Look at the world around us. It's reached its end. There's nothing left for you or your daughter in this life. *Starts walking towards her, preparing his scythe* Memento Mori. You must accept the fact, be freed from this nightmare...

Child: *Crying* M-Mommy! I'm scared!

Vampire Mom: *Hugs her daughter tightly* Stay away from us! I won't let you kill us!

Y/N: Just close your eyes...*Raises scythe* it'll be over faster than you can imagine.

Child: *Sobbing* Mommy! Please sa-

I slashed the two in half with my scythe with no expression. I've grown numb to killing. In the end, I'm doing them a favor instead of letting them starve to death in this forsaken timeline.

Y/N: Don't fear demise... Be at peace. Rest forevermore with your family. Cherish it. What I wouldn't give up to be in your place...

???: You really have become a shell of your former self... I can't even call you human anymore. You cut down a defenseless mother and her daughter after killing their spouse and father... What happened to you...

I turned around and saw Ingrid, Edwin Black's right hand woman.
