Chapter 1 - My Time's Definitely Numbered
Querencia's POV
Ah, today is the 21st day of the eleventh month. It's almost my 18th birthday and I only got a few days left here on Earth . 5 days in fact. I made a bucket list which I really wanna accomplish while I'm still alive.
Bucket List of things I want to do:
1. Prepare a Road Trip
2. Ride a Ferris Wheel
3. Take a trip to another country
4. Find my soulmate
5. Enjoy my last day
'But unfortunately, I don't have enough time to do it all.'

"Hey Rencia, It's almost the Day of Of the Gods. Let's go shopping together." Persia said as she smiled at me.
"Sure."
'Well, This might be the last time I will be able to go shopping with her.'
"Really?! That's Great!"
'Ah, that smile on my best friend's face... Will I be able to still see it in the future??'

26th DAY OF THE ELEVENTH MONTH, YEAR 20XX
"Awesome party Rencia."Said Dan. A great friend of mine.
"Thanks Dan." I replied with a sweet fake smile. The people left shortly after, then I quickly ran to the balcony.
' I spent almost an hour here. Crying and hoping the Gods would forget...... but it's impossible. '
"Queque?" I heard someone called from behind. As I looked at her, I couldn't help but cry.
"Aunt Rei?" I said as my voice cracked . She then rushed to hug me.
"I know it's a bit hard knowing when will be the end of your life..... But I do hope the Gods will forget about the deal..... It's already been years since that day."
'Well, I also hope they'll forget about it'
"Well, whether I like it or not, the choice isn't up to me to decide"
"They are Gods after all...They have a lot of things to take of aside from your situation....They'll probably forget about the agreement" Aunt said.
I admit it made me feel at ease after hearing that. But the moment was ruined by someone who we both don't recognised.
"Who'll forget?" It seemed to be a man's voice coming from behind us. Aunt rei and I broke from the hug.
"W-who are you?" I asked fearfully as I tried my best to protect my Aunt.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Elysian. I was sent here by the Gods to end that beautiful maiden's life." He said with a devilish smile.
'N-no... This cant be the end'
I had no other choice but to follow his signal.
While walking, I suddenly felt someone hugging me from behind . It was Aunt. I couldnt help but hug her back.
"Ahem, time is ticking Ms. Mystra." He said and with no choice, I continued walking ... Towards the person who will take me back to the creators above.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
As I walked out of my apartment, I noticed that Elysian was quite good looking....
'I would've fallen for him if only he was'nt the one walking me to my death.'
"What are you staring at, Ms. Mystra?" It was then I noticed that I must've stared too long at him.
"None of your business" I coldly answered as I turned away from him. When I looked back at him, I saw him grinning like he won the lottery.
' Hmph! Jerk! Your lucky you have a pretty face or I would've punched you.'
He just shrugged it off and contiunued to walk. We walked for a while, then we turned to a corner. Then another and another and another, until we were in a dark alleyway. He then suddenly turned around and faced me.
"Do you know how much I hate my job?" He asked me in a very serious tone.His voice sent shivers down my spine. It made me straighten my back.
I then shook my head no. I'll admit it I was scared. He was really serious. I was trembling, my knees felt like it would give out any second.
After a few minutes of me trembling and him just standing there, he heaved a heavy sigh.
"Fine, I have made a decision to not kill you today. I will give you a year of living your life before I kill you." He said making me feel a little bit at ease.
"But... " He continued. "I will be with you the whole year. No objections."
He smiled as he turned around and left me there dumbfounded.
"Are you coming or not? " He asked me as he looked back at me and extended he's hand at me.
I grabbed his hand.
'Another year to live is better than dying on the spot.'
"I won't disappoint you Querencia."
