*Ichi's POV*
//October 1, 2040//Monday//
How many months has it been since I made this fucking death game? How many months has it been?! So why..?
WHY ARE THEY STILL NOT KILLING EACH OTHER?!
*CRASH*
"FUCK!!!"
Despite everything that fucking happened in here, nothing is going well according to my plan! Every one of these fuckers is doing well, and that fucker Machida is still continuing with his fucking investigation!
THIS FUCKER IS TOTALLY A PAIN IN THE ASS AT THIS POINT!!!
How long? How long do I need to hide every piece of information from this piece of shit?!
I want to kill them! I WANT TO KILL THEM WITH MY POWERS!!!
But what's the point if I do that?
Their suffering is my pleasure.
If I kill them, then what is the point?
Especially you, Kiyoko Sasaki.
YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE THE GREATEST PLEASURE OF THEM ALL!!!"
When will I see it? When will I see the things they have built up come into ruins?
But with all the things that are happening right now.
*CRASH*
"THAT WILL NOT FUCKING HAPPEN WOULDN'T IT?!"
I kept on throwing everything that I found inside my lab, and I started to feel weak.
"Fuck… my body…"
*BEEP*
I opened the transmitter that was on my desk to contact a certain person that is in the outside world.
"Yes, sir?"
"I NEED MORE OF THOSE BY TOMORROW, PIERRE!!!"
"As you wish, sir."
That's right. Pierre was my right-hand man from the very beginning. We were the ones making those things to make me powerful. The two of us made it, and I fucking need it!
I need that to sustain my power. I am not a God without it. If I don't put those things inside my body.
I will fucking die…
I need to see these people suffer first before I leave this world. All of those talented fuckers who rule this stupid fucking social hierarchy.
I will be the one to ruin them. I will be the one to give them the most despair they could ever think.
But why?
WHY ISN'T EVERYTHING GOING ACCORDING TO MY PLAN?!
*SCRATCH*
Damn it…
*SCRATCH* *SCRATCH*
DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!
I kept on scratching my cheeks until they started bleeding.
*SCRATCH* *SCRATCH* *SCRATCH*
DAMN IT!!!
"Dicere nomen meum, et ego apparebi."
Wait, those words…
"Ichi…"
I regenerated the injuries on my face, and then I was forcefully transported to the Director's Office upon hearing those words from an anonymous person.
When I appeared in the Director's Office. I didn't expect who it was.
"Hahaha! How funny it is that you will show up if I say those words. Dicere nomen meum, et ego apparebit, a sentence constructed in the Latin language or also means as, say my name, and I shall appear."
What is this person doing in here?
"Isn't that right, Ichi?"
"What do you want, Raku Nakamura?"
"It's been a while! You haven't shown yourself to us for a long time. Did you miss me?"
THIS FUCKER IS ADDING TO MY PROBLEMS!!! I WANT TO FUCKING KILL THIS GUY!!!
"Aww, don't look at me with that scary face of yours. Come visit us some other time soon."
Is this piece of shit mocking me?
"Well, that is if they are still alive at this point."
Did I hear that correctly? Did this guy of all people say that?
With that smug face of his that I want to fucking destroy, he bluntly said something that is quite a big deal.
"What do you mean by they are still alive at this point?"
"Ichi, don't you think that someone needs to die right now? The game has been going on for months already."
"So? What is your point?"
"Help me, Ichi."
Raku was offering me a handshake like how he does it to a friend he knows.
"I want you to help me kill these people in an extraordinary way."
I couldn't stop myself
"Pffft!"
I couldn't stop laughing because of how pathetic Raku is.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"Huh? Did I say something wrong?"
"DO YOU THINK THAT AFTER YOU REJECTED MY OFFER BEFORE IN KILLING THESE PIECES OF SHIT DO YOU THINK THAT I WILL STILL HELP YOU?"
I'm done with these people. I'll just kill them one by one.
"How can I trust someone who is fucking loyal to Kiyoko Sasaki like a lap dog following every command she says?"
I pointed my finger gun at him aimed right at his heart. I am ready to kill this guy, but then Raku suddenly…
"Pffft! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Despite coming closer to death's door, he still has the guts to laugh.
"Did I ever say that I am loyal to her?"
I was confused about what Raku is saying. He then started walking straight towards me and placed his chest right on the tip of my finger gun.
Is this guy insane? Does he want to die?
"It's true, it's true. I am having a good time with the people here, especially with the ladies. Those are fun times, very fun times. But out of all the people in here, Sasaki was the one who I find interesting. No, I was not just interested, I am obsessed with her."
"What?"
"Tell me, Ichi."
Raku held my wrist and lifted my arm which is pointing right on his chest upward.
His face was close, and his smile was creepy.
"What would happen if I killed the person who I am obsessed with?"
Raku was acting crazy, and I was shocked by his sudden change of attitude. This feeling, this vibe that is coming from him.
It was bloodlust.
"Hahahaha! Aren't we the same, Ichi? Well, you can say that Machida is also a pain in the ass for snooping around your secrets. But I can tell that you are also obsessed with Sasaki. The two of us are!"
It's true, even if Machida was a big deal that I couldn't do something about it. It all begins with Sasaki. If Kiyoko Sasaki dies, everyone here will go in despair.
It was all because of Kiyoko Sasaki!
She is the one who is ruining my plans from the very beginning!
"What are your true intentions, Raku Nakamura?"
"Isn't it fun if you build relationships that you have made for a long period of time, and then destroy them in seconds like a monster?"
After I listened to that twisted philosophy of his, I backed away and turned my back against him.
"So let me get this straight, you want to ruin the trust of these people in the end because it is fun for you?"
"That's right."
Wow! I'm amazed at the audacity of this guy! With him on my side, I will truly get what I want.
"I truly admire your bravery in telling your true intentions to me, Raku Nakamura. I truly am."
But…
I glared at him while releasing my frustrations, and irritations to this fucker who was talking to me. You dare show me that bloodlust of yours? Well, mine is greater.
"Stop with your fucking bullshit. You will not fool me with your lies-."
*THUD*
I didn't notice right away, but I saw him throw a knife that grazed my cheek. I looked behind and saw the knife stuck on the wall.
This guy…
"You need me for your pleasure, right?" Raku asked with a smile on his face.
"Regenerate…"
I healed my cheek, and Raku was surprised about it even if he knew about my powers.
"Hohoho! It always amazes me how you do those things. How do you do it?"
"Start speaking."
How he threw that knife earlier was not something that an amateur can pull. This guy is experienced with it.
"It's a win-win situation for the two of us. Your greatest pleasure is everyone killing, and betraying each other while my pleasure is having those relationships that I build come into ruins."
It's true that I wouldn't lose anything with that offer of his. But still, I have my doubts.
"Why would I believe everything that you say?"
"Everyone knows by now that you are also human just like us, Ichi. You are not a God."
"What?!"
Did Raku just say that they know that I am just a human? How? How did they know?
I started biting my fingernails while I think of the possibility of how they found out about my true identity.
"Based on your reaction, then it must be true."
"How did you know?!"
"Machida was the one who learned the truth."
DAMN IT! DAMN IT! IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT FUCKING DETECTIVE! THAT FUCKER DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE ME A BREAK!"
"How about it, Ichi? What if I become your spy that will tell you everything that they have found out?"
"Why do you need to do that? If I kill every one of you pieces of shit, then all of this irritation that I have inside me will all disappear!"
"Don't you think that killing them right away wouldn't be fun at all? Just like leaving a woman behind without any assurance if you will come back just for the sake of making her suffer. Wouldn't it be exciting to watch what they are doing while you on the other hand knew what is up because of me?"
I haven't thought about it, but this guy's mind is abnormal.
"Aaaah… How priceless their reaction will be if they found out that they were betrayed in the end? So what do you say, Ichi?"
"Two crazed maniacs should help each other for the sake of achieving the pleasure they want. Do you want to form an alliance with me, and give them the despair that they deserve?"
I LIKE THIS GUY'S WAY OF THINKING!
"Hahaha…"
Maybe my plan wasn't completely destroyed yet.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Maybe this is the moment that I am waiting for!
"You're an interesting man, Raku Nakamura!"
"Oh, am I?"
"Fine then! Don't kill them yet! Give me the information they need! And if the moment comes! Be the one! BE THE PERSON WHO WILL DESTROY THEM!!!"
I reached my hand in front of him, and Raku gave me a handshake.
"You have yourself a deal."
FINALLY!!! THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING!!!"
"But who do you want me to break first?"
"The answer to your question is already obvious, Raku Nakamura!"
Of course, the person who we want to break first is the person who we have our eyes on all the time.
"Kiyoko Sasaki…" Raku answered with that eerie smile of his.
I know that Machida should be the one who needs to be killed first, but that guy does not fear death.
The person who should break first was the one who gave hope to these people. Without her, everyone will lead into despair as well.
YES!!! SHE SHOULD BE THE ONE!!! I WANT TO SEE THAT FACE OF HERS THAT LOSES ALL HOPE!!!
AFTER EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME!!! I WANT TO BREAK YOU EVER SINCE!!!
KIYOKO SASAKI SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO SUFFER THE MOST!!!
*BEEP*
Raku opened his phone to check who messaged him.
"Oh, speak of the devil. I need to go now, Ichi. Sasaki is calling me."
As soon as Raku was about to leave the room, I asked him something.
"Is this who you really are, Raku Nakamura?"
He stopped walking and looked at me.
"I love playing games and following everyone's orders like a happy-go-lucky guy that everyone is comfortable with. But now, playtime is over…"
He turned his back against me and held the doorknob of the door of this room.
"It is time to focus on swaying with everyone's feelings that will lead them to their doom."
