If I Shall Ever Break

The "Red Ring of Death," also commonly called the "Devil's Halo" is something that is given to those that have committed disgusting crimes. Though it is only merely a terrible legend, a myth, something that hasn't actually been seen by the human eye yet, that is, until 17 yr old Youhei Kouseki comes across a 15 yr old girl donning one herself. Refusing to have her name told, she calls herself GirlX. Curious about the mysterious girl, Kouhei decides to try & figure & out why she has the "Devil's Halo" but the reason is shocking! Being the first real human that is both able to see the Devil's Ring as well as the person wearing it makes him special though, not necessarily in a good way... ╭ ╮ Rated PG13 for violence, drama, heavy topics/subject matter, crude language, implied but NOT adult-like nudity, nihlism, religion references, etc~ ╰ ╯

Karma

Aside from the sounds of crickets chirping & owls singing their songs, it was fairly quiet. Though, in this case, it was the kind of quiet that could send shivers down your spine.

Just outside of a small house was a young girl, maybe 14 years old, name, unknown. In her hands was a large kitchen knife stained with blood & her face was covered in blood & tears. Turning her head left & right, she glanced at the world around her & let out a shaky breath. She then turned back to the house that she had just been in & bit her bottom lip. Inside that house were the bodies of three random people. A 23-year-old woman, a 13-year-old girl, & a 12-year-old boy, all of whom had been brutally killed by her. Though, despite this, nobody seemed to notice the girl or hear their screams of terror. Heads empty & heart racing, she began to hold the knife up to the moonlight & watched as the blood almost seemed to glow. As she let the point of it hover over her face, she gulped before letting it enter her face...until the sound of a faint buzzing began to ring from above her & she could feel something touching the top of her head. Eyes wide, she immediately whipped out her phone & saw that there was now a giant red ring on the top of her head.

Shocked, she dropped her phone as well as the knife & collapsed onto her hands & knees. Biting back tears, she let out a desperate & horrified wail as the ring started to glow brighter & brighter & on it, it read, "Expiration date: 6/19/2023" & today, it was 1/3/2023. She didn't have long & she quickly regretted her violent actions.
