What nonsense?!! Heat flared through Yuin's body, a storm of emotions churning within him. But above them all, anger. Why the hell should a system decide his death out of nowhere? It was true that he found it unfortunate that he wasn’t a chosen, but he didn’t go begging desperately for it. So why should the error of a strange system drag him into a mess that warranted his death? I have to die…? And leave my three pumpkins all alone?! The more it settled in his head, the angrier he became. But reality soon ripped him out of his head. “KYAAAH!!” A gut wrenching scream from a girl pierced his ears. Instinctively, Yuin’s gaze snapped toward the sound to meet the trembling figures of the crowd and a puddle of blood on the floor. It stood out sharply, a dark stain on the pristine void. Looking closer, Yuin met five lifeless bodies on the floor. Before things could even register in his head— FIAM! Five tiny transparent wisps shot forward. They snaked through the crowd and pierced five hearts. “KKUHU!” The victims coughed blood and collapsed forward. It’s the same as that day, Yuin’s heart dropped. This was how the celestials made an example of them three years ago when their arrival plunged the world into chaos. With just tiny wisps that wove through the crowd, hearts were pierced, heads cleaved. ARGHHH!!! The crowd roared in dread, scrambling about to find safety. But there was nowhere to hide. In such endless white space, even a shadow would stand out. FIAM! STAB! PLOOK! Wisps slithered through from the celestial’s palms. They stabbed through hearts and coiled around necks, cleaving heads from bodies. “Fuck! What did we do?!! What was our offense?!” A voice cracked from the crowd. “Killing us like this— fuck!” “Please, spare us. Spare me— I have a son waiting for me at home. He’s just 4,” a woman fell to her knees in tears. “I just graduated, hik! It was finally time for me to work and h-help my mom, ha!” The celestial’s onslaught never slowed. In fact, the helpless cries seemed to delight him because his face beamed with thrill. “Be honored that I’m taking out time to give you rest!” Stained with blood from the crowd, Yuin’s eyes trembled wide. Not a single thought able to penetrate his mind. This was his second time experiencing such ruthless slaughter. That too, from someone they could do nothing against. A celestial couldn’t be harmed nor stopped. Even if he tried to stop the wisps, they’d pass straight through him and continue their tasks; killing. The crowd wailed bitterly, desperately running toward the glass wall and attempting to break through. BAM! BAM! They hit, crying. “Fools!” The celestial shunned from above. “Do you think that is an ordinary glass? It is a veil between two realms that the lots of you can never access.” THUD! THUD! THUD! Group by group, Yuin watched the crowd crumple lifelessly. His heart hammered against his chest as the crowd grew thinner. His turn was coming. In the next moment, his eyes spread wide as a wisp snapped toward him, rippling through the air. His muscles spasmed where he stood, blood pumping. I have to— WHAM! The wisp slammed with forceful pressure, stirring a gust of wind that flapped Yuin’s clothes. “H-Ha…” Yuin’s breath shook, his legs frozen and trembling in place. The celestial recalled his wisps from the fallen victims. Then he turned to Yuin with a questioning look. “Hmm?” “What did you do?” He asked Yuin who was still wide eyed at the wisp that seized in front of his chest. He had done nothing. He couldn’t even act before the wisp reached him. But as though a wall was standing before him, the wisp slammed into something and seized right in front of his chest. The celestial’s eyes squinted with ire, evidently displeased. But a subtle confusion lingered. “No matter,” he said. “I just have to do it again.” The wisp in front of Yuin slithered back to the celestial and— FIAM! It shot forward again. This time, it came faster. Fiercer. Leaving Yuin no chance to rea
