4 Ch 3 - Fate

(A Few Minutes Later)

"Yawn, the food should arrive any minute now" muttered Aki who was lying down on the couch with a bored look while he looks around the air like an insane person as he watches some Metube through the glasses he wore.

*Ding*

As soon as the sound of a doorbell ringing was heard, Aki instantly stood up from the couch and took off his glasses while picking up the knife hidden below the couch and hid it inside his long sleeves, a habit he got after realizing he could be taken by the government without fail because of his weak body and be forced to revive others, and also because he loves the feeling of safety he gets from the knife.

"Coming!" shouted Aki as he walked towards the door and opened it to see the usual delivery guy that always delivers the food to them.

"Hello sir" said the delivery guy with an amicable smile as he nodded and look towards his pocket to take out the required amount of money for the food he ordered until he suddenly felt the familiar sense of a metal knife skewing his stomach as he looks towards the delivery guy who was wearing a massive grin.

Soon, he dropped down towards the ground and felt his consciousness fading away and listened attentively to what the delivery guy was saying.

"HA! It worked just like that, I couldn't believe that they will leave their weak son alone, now I have the house all to myself and take all these valuables away" said the delivery guy who started to suddenly change forms as it became what appears to a young girl in their teens around the same age as him as the clothes became too big for her.

"Ooo! The latest model for the glasses!" said the girl in joy as she took away the glasses he wore and put them inside a large bag as she turned around and look all around her house.

"Sigh" suddenly, the girl heard a resounding sigh as she looks around wearily for what is about to come and saw Aki's dead body started to move and looked at her with a blank stare.

"W- wha-" but before she could finish her shocked words, she suddenly felt a chill crawl up her spine and saw red miasma spewing out of Aki's body as only one thought resided on her mind.

'Death'

Soon, she felt her body going limp as her legs shook in fear, she looked towards Aki with a frightened face as she saw a knife appearing in his arms while he started to walk towards her at an eerie pace that was like a metronome's tick.

Tip, tap, tip, tap, soon, the resounding footsteps of Aki was heard as with each step becoming louder for her as the red miasma became darker and darker and felt the reaper's scythe hanging just below her neck as she started to talk.

"D- demon! You're a demon!" said the girl with tearful eyes as magically, the dreadful atmosphere suddenly disappeared as Aki suddenly looked like a prince charming in her eyes that made her more creeped out than before.

"Be not afraid" said Aki with a smile as he walks towards her like an angel but what she saw was instead a wolf in sheep's clothing as she uncontrollably shook on the ground until she felt Aki's hand on top of her legs and felt her shaking legs coming to a stop, either from too much fear or Aki is hiding something behind that normal veil of humanity.

"A- are you gonna fuck me ha!" said the girl in defiance as she looks at him with an angry face.

"No, I'm just going to simply kill you, it seems like you have a shape shifting Gift and probably killed the delivery guy maybe outside so I guess that's two test subjects" said Aki as she started to feel the hands of death already grasping her heart as Aki neared his knife that has the familiar scent of blood, complemented with the glowing red sheen of the blade, it just made her heart pounded harder in fear.

"Wait! Don't kill me please! I- I was forced to do this!" said the girl as she started to rapidly plead for her life.

"Let me guess, bla bla bla sad childhood, no parents, forced to steal to survive? I know that story already, you know, you kinda deserve this fate to be honest" said Aki with an amused smile as she became confused on how he knew the outline of her story.

"It seems like I was correct huh, this world just becomes more and more mysterious with each passing moment. But you're stupid is all I have to say, you having fucking shape-shifting for fuck's sake, what, you need to kill others to transform into them hah! Well, why don't you just kill a baby of a rich person with no fucking template and just live as an impostor your whole life, heck, I have so many ways to reach the top with your Gift already, become an influencer, a star, an assassin, holy shit your Gift has so many fucking uses and it was wasted on someone stupid like you. If I was born as you with the same circumstances, I would have probably been super successful before even reaching 18. Sigh, my words wouldn't even change your fate so I guess why don't you say hello to lady death for me, the lady that I so much wish to see" said Aki with a cold face, and before the girl could even respond, the knife was already plunged directly to her neck as she slowly died a painful death.

"Now where the fuck is the delivery man?" said Aki as he stood up and covered the bloody floor with some clothes while he headed outside and conveniently saw the delivery guy dead inside a bush in their wide garden and dragged him back inside to the basement that isn't really used for anything as he tied both of them towards the wall, ground and more as he heaves a breath of relief and felt his profusely aching body.

"Hahhh, now this is the moment where my fate is decided, I don't know what will happen but I literally have nothing to lose, so might as well try and make a miracle myself and defy heaven's will" muttered Aki as his eyes glowed in resolve and pointed his hands towards the girl he killed in cold blood.

Soon, his hand shone in a cacophony of colors as this one single moment will dictate the fate of one life, and perhaps the lives of billions and more.
