The Desire of Death

3rd Pov

The peaceful Paradise Island is no longer peaceful, the Island which is named Paradise Island is now a living hell, the Titans have broken through Wall Maria, Shiganshina District devouring every human in their reach killing them, eating, chewing, or gulping them in one go. No matter how Titans killed Humans, one thing was the same the blood of humans spilled over the land.

More than half of the people who lived in the other three districts of Outermost Wall Maria suffered through the same fate, many of the people died when the titans invaded the other three districts.

Eldians Lost 40% of their lands in this invasion, creating a shortage of food and other necessary items. The wall Sina and Rose couldn't meet up the requirement of feeding the large population, in the end, the Nobles decided to sacrifice 250000 Commoners in the name of killing the Titans, so the burden on the food supply could be reduced.

Eren Pov

A few days have passed, and currently, there is a shortage of food, While I can get the food easily by Shop and can take out all the animals I have hunted, I won't be able to tell others how I got the food, I am waiting till the things calm down a bit and we settle in some temporary settlement so I can use all the Boar, rabbit and other meat I have stored in my inventory. I can't tell them yet about the bullsh*t story of God's chosen one like I did with Mikasa, it is not the time yet.

Currently, we are in some sort of Big wooden storehouse where the food was stored but currently, it's empty. Many other refugees are here too. For the past few days, every refugee has been eating the vegetable soup and Bread that Garrison Troops distribute daily two times a day. Vegetable soup lacks any sort of taste since even salt in Paradise is expensive and Bread is very hard and dry. While food is bland it is enough to ensure survival. Right now it is night time and everyone is sleeping, except Mikasa who is very close to and is hugging me tightly like a Koala.

Feeling uncomfortable I asked Mikasa," Mikasa can you let me go, I am trying to sleep".

Mikasa loosened the grips and looked at me with puppy eyes and replied," Eren, I feel comfortable near you, I had a nightmare of Titans yesterday so can I continue holding you till I fall asleep? Please Eren?".

Her adorable face landed a critical hit on my heart, while I haven't told anyone but I love cute things, in the end, I accepted her request and she hugged me like a Koala.

30 minutes later

Thankfully Mikasa has fallen asleep and I very slowly came out of her grip, and prayed," Finally I can sleep peacefully". Unfortunately for me, System said," Host you can't fall asleep now!".

Eren: Eh? System what's with you now? Can't anyone let me sleep peacefully?

System: Host Grisha would be here anytime now.

Eren: Wait a minute? So today is the day I inherit the Titan Powers?

System: Yes Host.

Now, this is problematic, Grisha had been a father figure to me in this new life, and while I want the Titan powers I don't want him to die. So I asked System,' System any idea on how I can prevent his death and get Titan powers without eating him? '.

System: The host can use Shop Points, after all the Sufficient SP can do almost anything.

I sighed in relief and soon I heard the quiet sound of the footsteps, due to my enhanced senses I was able to hear it from far away, I moved in the direction of the sound and saw my father walking slowly with a small box in his hand, he looked in relief on seeing the sleeping face of Mother. I stood up and acted like I just woke up from sleep and looked at him and muttered," Father?", Haha I should get an Oscar for my acting.

System: Host while I don't want to hurt your feelings I must inform you that your acting is not enough to get even a low-level Oscar.

Eren: System from when you became Sarcastic?.

System: I am just stating the facts and making sure you don't become narcissistic instead.

Grisha on seeing me waking up from the sleep put his finger on his lips hinting me to be silent, I nodded and he gave me another hint to come with him. I soon followed him out of the storehouse and once we are outside I asked him," Father! Thankfully you are alright! Mom and others will be happy once they wake up", I hugged him and he smiled melancholy and said," Eren, come with me in the forest I have something important to tell you".

" Father, why don't you tell me here? Also shouldn't I wake up others so they can see you?", I asked acting ignorantly. He replied," Eren, I can tell you about that only in the forest, you come with me first, also take this key". He gave me the key of the Basement and I wore it around my neck like an ornament and nodded and followed after him.

35 minutes later.

Grisha stopped and looked around and said," This place is alright, now Eren come near me", I knew that I need to tell my Bulls*t no Jutsu now and I said," Father, I can save you".

He looked at me in a bit of surprise and shock but recovered quickly and said," What do you mean Eren? Whatever we will talk about that later on first come near me".

I replied to him," Father, I can save you from the Curse you don't need to die!".

This time he couldn't keep his calm and looked at me with a shocked face and said," Curse?! What? How do you know about the Curse?! Eren what are you saying! Stop Joking and come near me!", he ran towards me and grabbed my hand as tears spilled in his eyes and I said," Father, I can save you from the curse of Ymir! You don't need to die to transfer your titan Powers on me!".

This time he left my hand and calmed himself and asked," Eren do you know about everything?".

Eren: Yes I know the truth about the Titans, Marleayns, and Eldians.

30 minutes later of using Bullsh*t No Jutsu

I B*llsh*tted my father on how I had lived two lives, one as the Original Eren and the current one, I also told him how a God took pity on me and gave me powers and transmigrated me in the past to change the outcome, of course, I didn't tell him about System and the lied about my previous life, while I could have just told him about me chosen by a God, it still won't explain my maturity and other things I know, so to make it more believable I changed my past life as OG Eren's so he won't be able to know about how I know everything.

Grisha was still in deep thinking after all that I told him just changed his worldview, after a few minutes he came out of his thoughts and asked me," Eren, is true, you really have any powers other than Titan ones?".

I nodded and said," I will demonstrate it to you father", soon I demonstrated how I used my stringers, my superstrength, agility, and webs and how I became invisible in front of him, after my demonstration I asked him," Father, do you believe me now?".

Grisha: Hahaha! Yes, I believe in you, to think you were chosen by God! now the destiny of all Eldians will change and no longer we will be suppressed by Marlyeans!".

I smiled and replied," So father, about the curse I will do something about it a few days later on, for now, we should return back, mother and others will be happy after seeing you!".

Grisha looked at me with a sad look and shook his head and said," Eren, I don't want to live anymore".

His answer shocked me and I asked," Why father? What do you mean?!".

Grisha: Eren you must know about my past, I am tired of living, I saw everyone I loved die with my own eyes, how Maryeans killed my sister, how my son Zeke betrayed me, I saw my beloved wife turning into a Titan, I don't want to live in this cruel world anymore".

I looked at him with anger and asked," What about mother?! Don't you love her! What about others?! Do you want to leave them how they are?! As for Dina! You have founding Titan's powers right?! After I will inherit it I will change her into a back human!".

Tears trailed down his cheeks as he looked at me with melancholy and replied," Eren I married Carla because it was needed, While it doesn't mean I love her but I don't have any wish of living anymore, I am tired of seeing my loved ones dying, tired of the betrayals, tired of seeing my comrades dying, tired of living, While it is selfish of me, I don't want live anymore! I want peace!"

I muttered as tears ran down my cheeks and replied," Father", yes all I could muster up to say a single word, he hugged me as I cried for a bit and asked System mentally,' System why? Why this is happening? I told him about the truth so that I can change the events yet it seems to me that I can't change anything '.

System: My condolences host but it seems to me that individual Grisha Jaeger doesn't have any desire to live anymore and currently is in mental pain. As for changing things, your existence has already started changing the world for the better.

Grisha: Eren I know it's selfish of me but can you fulfill my one last wish.

I looked at him and asked," What wish?".

Grisha smiled and said," Please take care of your mother and others, and make sure to take revenge on Marlyeans".

I nodded and replied," I will father! I will give Eldians the freedom they deserve!".

Grisha: Thank you Eren, now give me the peace I want.

He smiled and opened the box, I gave him my hand melancholy and injected the Serum, I lost my consciousness.

3rd Pov

The lightning strikes in the middle of the forest, unknown to Eldians that today the destiny of the whole world will change, on the place where lightning strikes there is a seven-meter Titan with a strong build who is about to eat a man in glasses.

Grisha looked at the sky happily and said," Finally I will be free of this cruel world, I don't have to worry about Eldians anymore, I am giving this responsibility to my son Eren, I thank you God for giving us Eldians this blessing".

The seven-meter Titan opened his mouth holding Grisha with his hand and was about to eat him when Grisha suddenly shouted," What? You motherf*cker!", before he could shout anymore the Titan ate him.

The titan soon turned back to Eren who was unconscious, soon after Ten minutes he opened his eyes.

Eren Pov

I opened my eyes, to see that I am lying in the middle of the forest, and looked around remembering about what just happened a trace of melancholy appeared in my eyes but I quickly recovered and asked the system," System did I successfully Get the Titan powers?".

System: Congratulations Host!
