Chapter 13

Horrendous, those were the words that described my feelings. Everywhere I looked, there were dead souls being picked up by another Grim Reaper.

"Name: Samantha C. Real
Age: 32 years old
Cause Of Death: Accidental Death
Time of Death: 3:42 pm. " An announcement of the Grim Reaper next to me.

For some inexplicable reason, I appear invisible to the people around me. No one is criticizing or asking about my presence here. I did not try to ask the Grim Reaper next to me because I'm sure he has something to do with it, or maybe because I'm one of them, so things like this aren't impossible. Well, after all, I am a contracted living Reaper. The only difference between me and them is that I'm alive while they are not.

I was surprised when the Grim Reaper suddenly gave me two black envelopes. I looked at him in surprise as he looked bored.

"You should start working, babe." I lost my amazement and replaced it with annoyance.

"You want to die?"

"I'm the death of it all, babe." I just gasped because of what he said. Okay, he won. What else can I say if what he said is true? So instead of arguing, I just took what he was giving me to stop him.

"What should I do?"

"Look for a dead human and then read that to announce their death. That's all. " I just nodded. I think it was easy but also difficult. Seeing them die such a horrible death, it's kind of painful.

But Augustus ignored his father's will and still went at night. Agusto grew up without friends, and his only pleasure was fireflies. So Agusto was not afraid to make a way to get fireflies in the middle of the farm.

I started walking around inside the overturned bus. That is when I saw too much blood and almost everyone was dead inside. Some have been hit by the crystal glass from broken windows in the face, some are still dripping blood, and others are so ugly that I can't stare at them anymore.

But despite that, I open the envelope slowly. It only has one picture. From the way her uniform looks, I can say she is one of the students from Anecdote State University in Dame City. Theneighboring town of Plamour

As I look around, I find her sitting in the corner. She has a little bruise on her head and a little bit of a wound on her body. All in all, I think she was not seriously injured but died immediately. It makes me wonder what she died for.

Did she die because of a stroke or something?

When I approached her, the envelope started to have a letter beside the picture. I was not surprised that I seemed to be getting used to strange events.

That Grim Reaper said to read it, so that's what I did.

"Name: Alice O. Rosales." The first time I read it, my head almost exploded with things I could not explain. I do not understand why there seem to be some memories that enter my mind or where they came from.

But no! It's not my memories because it looks like it's from the soul I'm currently fetching.

Damn it! So, this is why being a grim reaper isn't as easy as I thought it was. Now, the fourth rule in the contract makes sense.

"Age: 19 years old. " All the sins he committed, I see them as if they were my memory. From being a bitch daughter to being a party girl, a drug user, and a murderer, damn, this is too much! "

"Cause of Death: Karmic Death." I almost fell because of that. Fortunately, someone supported me. When I looked at it, Saint, the badass grim reaper, was here.
