Reborn in Yuukoku no Moriarty as...?
The concept of reincarnation was no stranger to me. You could find it everywhere you looked in the the twenty-first century; television, novels, manga, and animation. Ironically, reincarnation or transmigration was my favorite trope. I had always imagined what it would be like to awaken in a new location and time. Reborn as a side character or a villain; the possibilities were endless. However, I had never anticipated it would actually happen. It actually did. Who knew Death was not so scary. . . . "I didn't get the chance to delete my browser history" The boy mumbled regrettably. Dark clouds surrounded the antagonist he collapses with his hands and knees on the floor "Not only that! I am THE William James Moriarty, the little devil who will die in the fire!" I take it back! Death, you are a jerk! - - Warning: Contains swearing (adult language), mature and graphic scenes.
