ON HOLD 1001: the number of ants the two killed in an hour as children. Having something similar to split personalities can be tiring, especially when your other half doesn't act similarly. Ten is a lustful soul with a fickle view of his appearance, and he has the insatiable desire to be with women. However, he can't help but involve his dagger. Zero-One is a repetitious man who focuses on necessity first, and he dismisses the wants of Ten. However, after his needs are met, he goes after those who have yet to live, thinking back to his younger days. The two greatly wish to split, and the need only grows when Ten takes on a mission from Solirra, a succubus who's fallen in love with him. He has a month to find her sealed body, going by what she tells him while within his mind, or his lover will die. But another interest comes to both halves of the whole. An emotionless necromancer named Ire has the ability to split the two, shoving one into a new body while one remains. However, only the winner keeps their shared flesh, and an extra problem occurs for Ten other than his disinterest for anyone but his lovely Lirra.

You gripped the cold metal gun tighter and threatened," Stay back or I'll shoot!" He stopped with an exasperated sigh and stared intensely at you with sweltering dark brown eyes.The gun almost slipped out of your shaky hands. Then his low almost a growl voice reached your ears. "That's enough playing around. Put the gun down Y/L/N Y/F/N and maybe I won't punish you too hard."he did not look amused anymore. And that was when you knew, you were screwed. __________________ Hi ARMY! and anyone who wants to give this book a chance!
