Chapter 0
The word “death” carries different meanings for different people. For some, it is a reminder of human suffering — the pain of losing family, friends, and everyone they have ever loved. For others, it is a strange blessing — an escape from a life they no longer want to live.
But the power to control such death...that burden was given to me.
The one who created me never gave me a name. Yet I know everything about this world — the languages people speak, their cultures, their emotions, their fears. I don’t know how I know these things; they simply appear in my mind, like memories that were never mine.
I decide death.
Whenever someone’s time has come, a scale appears before me.On one side stands a person. On the other side stands another. Two lives... and I must choose which one will end.
The scale gives me everything about them — their past, their mistakes, their kindness, their secrets, their dreams, the people who love them, the people they have hurt.
And every time I decide...one soul disappears from this beautiful world forever.
That is my agony. That is my curse.
And now...in this endless responsibility of choosing who must die, I need your help.
