"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?"

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.
