The Grim Reaper: Death Male Reader! Insert!

Chapter 3: Testing

I walked through school much more different than how I usually did, now that I felt like I was something else... Not a human, I felt distant.

I had almost no friends in school, but I did like to make small-talk with people who at least sat beside me in class. But I mostly zoned out and made sure my fellow classmates didn't notice my lack of complexion. This remained a regular routine until lunch, when I sat in my usual spot, a flight of stairs near the lunchroom.

Did I even need to eat? Or was that a leftover instinct of my past humanity?

My gender is death... heh yeah right, take that Social Justice Warriors... I'm something that actually exists.

Teacher: MR. L/N!

I jolted up, bashed out of my room of thoughts, I nevertheless was surprised at my teacher's sudden uproar. I looked around to see various people staring at me, boys were whispering, I caught how one of them seemed to say 'retarded' which infuriated me... The girls were just looking at me in silence, expecting me to blurt out the answer to whatever the teacher was saying, or begin bumbling foolishly about how I missed what he had said.

Me: Um, what was the question again Mr. Ramadon?

I asked as Ramadon sighed in disappointment.

Mr. Ramadon: Please name the first ten elements of the periodic table...

... Oh Shit! Not the periodic table again!

Me: Uhhhhhhhhhhh... Titanium... Bavarian... Gold?...

People only stared or snickered as I plummeted even deeper into the word pool, pulling out whatever had come to my mind.

Me: ...Petroleum... Stalinium... Bovoron... Ken-to...... rion? Uranium, RAHHHH DAMMIT! Florion and... uh... AFGHANISTAN...-IUM?!

Everyone erupted in laughter as Mr. Ramadon sighed and held his hand to his forehead. Shaking it slowly.

Mr. Ramadon: Honestly L/N... Death could be educating you on this and you'd still be wrought all up in that labyrinth of a mind that you call yours! Do you ever have a care for your life!?

No, because I AM Death! And I have my life all figured out! You can be flowing around in a lava pool in your future for all I know! Byotch!

Me: I'm sorry sir, it'll never happen again.

Ramadon: As so said the last two billion-gajillion times.

He muttered underneath his breath.

Fuck the Periodic Table...

Timeskip.

This was it... I needed to make sure that the power was actually legit.

It was already lunch, I looked around and sighted an average looking guy. Edmond, he wasn't much of a talker, but I figured I could get a wanted result out of him.

Me: Hello Edmond...

Edmond: Who are you?

Me: You don't know me, and I don't know you. But I think we could be great pals the real of the year...

I proceeded to reel him in, getting him to trust me while I operated under the masquerade of trying to be friends with him. Eventually he gave in, we opened up a conversation with each other about our lives and it became personal...

It eventually came to the part where I sprung my trap... This is the moment I'd test if what Marik was telling me was true...

Me: Would you lay down your life for me if you could? I'm asking this as a fellow bud...

I asked curiously.

Edmond: After that long talk with you Y/N, I'm obliged myself to say that yes, I would indeed lay down my life to you...

I then all of a sudden felt like puking... Had I...actually done this?! Had I actually manipulated someone into killing themselves?

Marik: Uh oh... Look what you just did! Ha ha ha ha ha!

I heard Marik's gruff voice cackling behind me, I felt disgusted with myself... Edmond then swallowed... gasping for air. As he stumbled off the table, grabbing the attention of various bystanders. I grew nervous as I decided to throw on another masquerade to avoid garnering negative attention from said bystanders.

Me: Edmond!? SHIT! SOMEONE GET THE NURSE AT THE OFFICE.

Two girls ran off to the office while other students crowded around me, while I held Edmond in my arms. His life slowly drained out of his eyes as he muttered incoherent words, as if he were losing his mind.

Boy: What the fuck happened to him!?

Girl: Someone call an ambulance!

I only heard the dense laughing of Marik in the background as I muttered the only thing I could say to this person I had just used as a lab rat...

Me: I'm sorry... I shouldn't have done that... why did I? Why did I use this boy as an experiment... Restrain yourself Y/N! You're not God! You can't play with people's lives like that!

He then closed his eyes amongst the gasps and murmurs of the onlookers, as I gently lie him down. I'm not doing that ever again...
