“Well then, shall i open the door?”

“Yes, Master!”

I reached out to open the door, but my hand was suddenly grabbed roughly.

I tried to shake the hand off, but wasn’t able to.

“Hmm........?”

I turn toward to see the hand’s owner, and it was none other than the fake saint.

“You bastard.........!”

While his eyes were filled with extreme hatred, he twisted my hand around my back, put all his strength upward and dislocated my shoulder.

Oh wait, this isn’t time to analyze this!

“...........! Aw aw aw aw aw!!!! It hurts you little fuck! even though i’m immortal, it still hurts!!!”

With my shoulder dislocated, he forced my hand downward, while shifting his center of gravity to the left, raised his right knee and went for my arm.

Snaaaaaaaaap!

My arm broke, just like that.

“....................!!!!!!!”

I let out an inaudible scream, as he let goes of my hand and side flips toward the wall and starts running on it.

Spider man did it waaaayyy cooler than he did!

I await my body to recover on its own, but it refuses to do as such.

“............Oh wait. i forgot.....i no longer have an immortal body.......right...........?”

This is turning out to be pretty.....bad.

To begin with, wasn’t this supposed to be the scene where i awesomely knock out Jesus and go save Acil as a knight in shinning armor.

Hopefully with that, she’ll fall for me and i’ll....hehehe.....

While i’m stuck in my own thoughts, the fake saint quickly shouted “If you’re going to enter, go alone! leave mistress away from there!!”

“Shut up! who the hell do you think you are? i’ll do what i want to do and she’ll do whatever she wants to do!”

Really, i expected something along the lines of him waking up and saving me when i was in a pinch, and viola, a new comrade is made!

Or rather, a new rival!!

Way to mess things up, you fake!!!

All that tension build up.....for nothing!

“You bastard..........!”

I’ll make you re-----

“Woah!”

-Craaaaaack~

I was suddenly pushed from behind with a force so big that it smashed the heavy door open.

........And yup, that was my ribs breaking.

I use my right side, which had my broken shoulder and arm, in order to shield my still-functioning hand.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaagh-----!”

Of course, it hurts like hell.

I grit my teeth in agony, and somehow get up on my feet while enduring the pain my chest gave away.

I look behind me, and see Than looking down.

“Hehehehe..........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”

She starts laughing madly while exaggeratedly shaking her shoulders as she slowly began to look toward me.

Her eyes gave away her madness.

She continued to laugh and laugh.

“Hmm........is there no such thing as adrenaline in this world?”

She’s been laughing for quite sometime now, i’m more shocked about that then her betraying me....

Anyhow, i need something to lower the pain i’m currently having....

Well, i do have a few skills for that but that would be cheating.....

I’d rather not use them if i could....

“Well, whatever~”

I turn around ignoring Than, and began to descend the stairs that toward.

Although the door looked pretty expensive, the insides didn’t have anything that could rival its value really...

Not even the artificial lighting!

The room had candles here and there, dimly illuminating it.

In the very center of the room, stairs could be found leading to the undergrounds.

I slowly began to descend said stairs.

Moving in itself hurts a lot y’know....

“.............Eh?”

I can hear Than’s confusion echo through the stairway.

“Hmm~ i guess she needs to be punished~?”

I’ll do that later~~

Hehehehehe!

If it was all an act, i’ll make sure to train her right this time around!

“Ring a ding dong~ Ring a ding ding dong~”

These stairs go forever....

“I'm not easy to please~ I might tear you apart~♪ i’m only going to break your heart~!”

How far is this going to go down?

I’m starting a concert over here....

“I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed~ Get along with the voices inside of my head~!”

Woohoo~

This is what i’m talking about~!

“Right in my ding ding dong!”

Yahhoo~

“............!?”

Shit!

I forgot i’m injured!

I got too carried away and started dancing my way down!!

“Wooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Fuck, Gravity is playing with my body!

As i am Falling down, a familiar sweet voice echos through.

“You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath....”

Damn, this isn’t the time to continue from where i left off, Acil!

.........And to begin with, how do you even know the song?!

“..........Guaaaagh!”

Gravity played its last hand and smashed my head on the floor.

My already broken ribs began to dig through my organs, and blood began to escape by the mouthful.

This is one of the times i wish i was immune as one of those protagonist from novels....

“Good job making it here~”

Two figures walk toward me, and lift me up.

I look toward the two, and the only word to describe them is beautiful.

And yet, they still fall short to Acil.

They began to move me around to face the throne a few ways away, where a young, handsome man is sitting on.

He brushes his blond hair away from his eyes while he reveals a sweet smile, and to his side is the most beautiful woman in the heavens wearing what seemed like a wedding dress.

The frilly wedding dress was quite traditional, and if viewed alone, it would without a doubt be called ‘plain’.

And yet, On the blond girl, it looked like the finest masterpiece there is.

The two looked like siblings, both very out of the world.

If i were to be honest, they looked like the perfect couple.

The man crossed his legs and pointed toward me, and his sweet smile changed to that of a sinister one.

Really, it looked as if an arc drew on his face.

His eyes were full of desire.

........Full of killing intent.

“Good job making it here~ Even though i wasn’t expecting the girls upstairs to be much of a challenge......perhaps i’ve been overestimating you?”

“Heh....well, i ran into a few problems you see....”

Really, have i been careless?

Should’ve i killed that fake saint?

Even though i’ve suspected Than to be an enemy all along, perhaps i shouldn’t have followed her?

All these ‘What if’ situations began to pop up in my head, but surprisingly....i don’t have any regrets.

Acil looked at me worried, her face was painted in confusion.

The man draws a white revolver and throws it toward me.

“Hey, have you heard of Russian Roulette?”

He asked.

“Of course i do.”

I gave the obvious answer.

“You see.....a once met a man with a very weird personality....it seems like he came from the same world as you. He had this game he liked a lot. he called it ‘Russian Roulette’. he said something about it being very exciting, giving him the thrill of knocking on the afterlife’s door or something....well, that man right now is a very important person you see.....so i’m quite interested in the game.”

Both of the women make sure that i’m balanced out, and then let go of my arms.

One of them picks up the gun with both hands, as if touching a sacred treasure and then hands it to me reluctantly.

The beauty glared at me for a second and then broke eye contact.

She turned toward the young man, bowed and then left.

The other one, of course, left along side her.

“Well then, as the game states, there is but a single bullet inside that thing. i want you to shot five shots toward your skull....if you survive, then i’ll let you walk away. if you don’t,.....i don’t have to explain, right?”

“But of course.”

I flip down the hammer of the white revolver without checking the cylinder and put force on the trigger.

--Click

Nothing.

The man, with a gentle smile says “Yay~ One down!”

I do the same, press down the hammer and pull on the trigger.

---Click

“And that’s two!”

----Click

-----Click

I give out a sigh and then raise my own death flag.

“Hey Acil. I want you to know something......it’s all your fault. My death that is, is alll~ Your fault. If i didn’t meet you, i would still be at old man’s place, slowly raising through the ranks.”

Acil looks down, biting her lips hard enough for it to bleed.

......It seems like she isn’t allowed to talk.

The man shows a surprised expression and raises a brow.

“Hoo~ I thought you were going to say something along the lines that she shouldn’t worry...that it isn’t her fault that you’re going to be killed. Well, that’s not set in stone....right? Well then, go on.”

I press the gun toward my scalp, lower the hammer and then slowly......

A few memories began to surface, joyful ones.

.........Never mind, nothing appeared.

Even at death’s door, nothing appeared huh.

Well, i don’t remember having a flash back in my two lives back then either.

Really, all this seems like an illusion.

Are you sure it isn’t?

Meeting Acil, becoming her slave, transfer to a dead world filled with zombies......and meet that Thanatus.

Returned to heaven, only to find that fucker escaped to hell.

Reach out to hell, suddenly get captured and meet the all holy saint, Jesus.

Get betrayed by Thanatus.....and get sent here.

Really, what a nightmare.

..........Isn’t this a halfassed way to stir the reader’s emotions?

I’m sorry.

Well then, lets hope this doesn’t have a bullet in it.

“NOOOOOOOO!!!”

------Bang

GAMEOVER

Like hell it’s game over.

The two followers screamed their rejection of reality, as my gun released smoke from firing its ammunition.

The gun, of course, was aimed toward the young man in the throne.

“It’s game over for you, mate.”

The man had a bullet hole in between his eyes as a trail of blood ran through.

Of course, the man’s arc smile did not change at all.

In fact.....it became even deeper.
