I quickly walked up and ran at the top, with excitement surging through. I was soon leaving the world, maybe moving on to another or maybe sleeping forever. I wonder how it feels to die, but for sure, death is the best gift in life, and I will soon receive it. I clutched my hand as I stood on the edge. I opened my eyes and saw the stars shining like diamonds on black marble, and the moon, the most beautiful one of all, was right above me. It was comforting. It was the perfect way to die, just as I imagined. I smiled, and I heard sirens. Red and blue lights shone through the thick misty fog that made the scenery even more beautiful and mysterious. I wondered how it would feel if I jumped now. I felt my heart beating faster and faster. I felt hot, but the chilly wind cooled me off. As I was about to fulfill my wish that I had been dreaming of for years, I jumped off and opened my eyes to look at the sky again. I closed my eyes to see the darkness that was taking over. It comforted me, and I thought maybe sleeping forever isn't that bad after all. When it all came to a halt, I smiled, as the ecstasy of the moment had me feeling this indescribable surge. The annoyingly noisy, crowded city vanished into the depths of silence, finally bringing the silence I had longed for. If this is death, I don't regret my decision; I will do it again and again if necessary.
And then, suddenly, the silence was broken by the sweet voice of a mysterious new figure. I was surprised. Its voice echoed in my head like it was my inner thoughts. There was a little voice that was talking to me in my head. It was clear and soft. It told me to open my eyes as I thought, Why? It repeated to open my eyes, and I obliged. I opened my eyes only to see a cute doll with a black ring floating above its head and black wings. It was darker than the sky behind. It looked cute. I wanted to squish it, but I resisted the urge and asked, "Are you the devil? Will you take me to hell now? " I was certain of my death. It took a while for me to realize I was in midair. I was... flying?! Then the little doll spoke.
Unknown entity: You're not flying, $#$#!&.
$#$#!&: Can it hear what I'm thinking?
Unknown entity: Yes, I can hear your thoughts.
$#$#!&: Am I dead?
Unknown entity: No, I saved you for now. I have already synced with you. You, my dear, are now my host.
$#$#!&: Tsk, why can't I just get a damned break!? I wanted to die!! How do we undo this whole host thingy? Spill it, you wannabe angel doll!!
Unknown entity: Sorry, I am not permitted to do that, and once I have chosen a host, the process is irreversible. I can tell you, however, that I am here to completely change your life, give it meaning, a purpose.
$#$#!&: Hmm... Let's say I am interested. What's in it for me?
Unknown entity: As the reaper system, I can satisfy all your murderous needs. Ahem, you are required to provide me with a name. However, before that, let me explain why I am here. We'll be killing people from now on. Criminals, in particular.
$#$#!&: Can I- well can you... Can I order you to stop reading my thoughts? Just who is in control here, buddy?
Unknown entity: As of now, I am in control. Once you give me a name, we will be serving you as best we can. You won't be able to order me around. However, for your actions, there will be penalties.
$#$#!&: We!? Who is "we", exactly?! Who gives you the right damn it!!?
Unknown entity: As of now, this is a question I can't answer for you. Allow me to proceed. We will be killing the top criminals and clearing 50% of the world's criminals. Our job here is to reduce the number and balance it. This world will be your first trial. You may think of it as a tutorial. The time limit placed on this world is 2 years. If you fail to complete the task and get rid of 50% of the criminals, this world will be destroyed and a penalty will be applied. While progressing, you will be rewarded for every criminal you kill. Killing civilians will result in a penalty. Basically, you do the job, you get rewards. If you don't do the job, there will be consequences, some worse than death..
$#$#!&: Wait wha- the little thing disappeared... what am I meant to do now?
Meanwhile stuck in midair
$#$#!&: Wait, where did you go!!? How can you just leave me suspended like this?
Wait thinking back... it did say I needed to accept... hmm, maybe it isn't such a bad idea. After all, it said there is a lot in it for me.
$#$#!&: I agree!!!
Unknown Entity: Host agreed, Syncing started.
$#$#!&: WHAT, YOU LIAR!!! you said we are already synced!!!
Unknown Entity: Syncing completed, transporting the host to private space.
$#$#!&:What?!!? Where are you taking me!?
Unknown Entity: Transport Completed.
