I don't know how I came to be a deity. All I remeber is just being here since the beginning of time, they say I carry my power in many forms through animals, plants, spirits, elements but I prefer the human form. It's like a mask so I can delude myself into thinking that I fit in, when I don't.

I walked through the city of Seoul mindlessly waiting to 'run into' another one of my victims. Everday a life was born, and another was taken away. It was the circle of life. A law put in place to ensure all balance, a curse, or a gift however you'd see fit, one that could never be broken.

"Kang Taesoo." I whispered as I emerged from the shadows of his cell. He was curled up into a ball in the corner of the room rocking back and forth and muttering a load of bullshit. "S-satan, you're here a-again?" I chuckled and leaned against the cold, stone walls lighting a cirgarette for him. "I'm not Satan. Call me Doom, even worse." I chuckled and handed him my cigarette which he gladly took a puff of whilst I light myself a new one.

"Why are you here? How did you get in?"

"Taesoo, your times up. You killed 29 people and injured 86 leaving a total of 115 victims and that only the physicaly hurt victims. You will die."

"N-no please, let me work for you. Spare me I beg of you."

"Why are you scared of death? You should be scared of living."

"I-I see them. The 29 d-dead people. I c-can see t-them everywhere."

"You're right. They are everywhere in this cell right now. I can see them and feel them too-"

"You can! I'm not crazy. I told them I wasn't crazy-" He screamed and I chuckled grabbing Taesoo by the chin and pulling it up to face me before stuffing my light up cigarette into his mouth. He started coughing and wheezing his eyes as wide as plates as he backed away from me.

"They tell me they want you gone. Now."

"If you k-kill me, I won't b-be able to escape them a-at all. It will be e-even worse t-than when I was alive." My eyes faded from black to crimson red as I summonned for the spirits of his dead victims to join us in the real world.

"NO DOOM PLEASE!" He cried and started banging his head against the wall uncontrollably. Maybe it was me, maybe it was the force, but eventually his head cracked open and blood poured out like a river as he lay there, his eyes wide in shock.

Maybe God could forgive. But me. Never.

It had been 2 weeks since I'd properly talked to Hwayoung. She was using me the entire time and it took a long time to tell it to myself, but I'd fallen for it. I. Was. Foolish. I could've let her fall. In reality I should've. Yet there was something that cried out to me telling me that she didn't deserve to die. That this shouldn't be the end for her.

I needed to use her to die. If I can't die, then I can't be reborn as a human or as anything that has the luck and riches to live a proper life. Instead of working as a slave full time for something as worthless as humans.

"She's such a bitch."

"I really hope he's okay."

"This tastes gross."

"I don't wanna go to work today."

"This is so boring."

"Why is she calling me?"

"She's so pretty."

"I gonna fucking kill him."

"What's this fucker looking at?"

I scoffed at the last thought. Fucking insignificant humans. I hated hearing their thoughts, it made me sick to my stomach to have the wisdom of knowing everything about everyone uncontrollably. Sometimes I wished I could be surprised by someone's response or their opinion about something.

The only person I've blocked out of my mind is Hwayoung per her own request. Since she's my chosen victim from the night of my birthday, she's the only person I can actually block out.

"M-minhyuk please." I cried as he dragged me by the arm towards my living room. "I was nice at first asking you to let me in so we could talk but you just ignored me hmm?" He threw me onto the sofa like I was some sort of puppet and before he could grab me again a hand grabbed his shirt and shoved him against the wall.

Riki.

"You." He groaned and stared Riki down but his arrogant expressions soon faltered into one of fear. "W-whats with your eyes? F-fucking creep." Riki dropped Minhyuk to the floor and he started screaming and yelling in pain.

Minhyuk's eyes had turned completely black not a speck of white could be seen in his orbs. I backed away from the situation trembling in fear as Riki bent down to face Minhyuk. "You're time is over." Riki grabbed Minhyuk by the throat squeezing tightly as Minhyuk disappeared into dust.

"R-riki what did y-you do?" I gulped and Riki turned to face me his eyes flashing from crimson red, to black, to white and to silver. "He's gone. Dead. Forget this ever happened and don't worry about the police or anything I'll handle it." I nodded and before Riki could leave the house I grabbed his arm pulling him back.

"I'm forgive you, about our fight and everything. Please don't leave can we just have everything go back to normal." I spoke in shaky breath's still traumatised by what had just happened. Riki just studied me carefully as if searching through my eyes to find some sort of truthful answer to my words.

"I'm not apologising for anything."

"Love starts with forgiveness. I'm gonna love you, so that I can live and you can die, we'll both be happy in the end." I shot him a smile and slowly stood up as he just steadily watched me. He scoffed and clicked his fingers which got rid of the mess and the remaining ashed of Minhyuk on the ground. Everything basically looked like before, he even brought his part of the house back.

"Then let's do it right. Love me to the point that you want to destroy the world for me.
