《Death Note : A New Story》The Ones I Kill
Advertisement
I randomly selected a name and started writing. I couldn't handle the patience any longer. I had to write more names and faster. My curiosity got the best of me.
What would happen if I wrote a dead man's name?
I opened the death note to write,
'Wade Lawliet.
Cause of Death: Degradation.
Details: Wade Lawliet would go to his relative and curse his/her existence. After which, he would collapse and degrade into dust. Seconds before he dies, he'll repeat the word killer 5 times. His death will occur at precisely in the evening, 8 o'clock JST tomorrow.'
Wade Lawliet was a foreigner whose grave was nearby. I wanted to see for myself, if a dead body could move.
I continued writing. The second candidate I chose was a billionaire who killed and injured multiple people in a slum just to build a skyscraper on their land. Everyone knew he was guilty, yet no one took action. He was brought to court once, but the case didn't follow up due to lack of evidence.
'Kisaya Tatsu.
Cause of Death: Suicide.
Details: Kisaya Tatsu would fall to his death after recording a message of all the crimes he committed and apologise to the public for the same. Seconds before he dies, he'll repeat the word killer 5 times. His death will occur at precisely 8 o'clock JST in the evening, the day after tomorrow.'
Then I wrote yet another name. The name of a man who killed his own family out of anger. A man who had manged to kill his family and had escaped from prison as well.
'Arman Solanzo.
Cause of Death: Excess blood loss.
Details: Arman Solanzo will record a message about how sorry he was to kill his family and cut himself multiple times to show his sorrow. Before he dies he will upload the video on a platform. Seconds before he dies, he'll repeat the word killer 5 times and record himself during this time as well. His death will occur at precisely 8 o'clock JST, 3 days from now.'

And then I wrote another. A celebrity who had committed forgery, plagiarism, murder and had been imprisoned for drugs. Yet after all this, people supported him because of his iconic movies and songs.
'Carmen Bizet.
Cause of Death: Overdose of drugs.
Details: After being drugged, Carmen Bizet would cry with remorse and would be killed because of the overdose of drugs. Seconds before he dies, he'll repeat the word killer 5 times. His death will occur at precisely 8 o'clock JST, 4 days from now .'
I kept on writing names until I had written 50. Why did I write these names? First, their existence was aggravating, unnecessary. Second, I had to see if I could manipulate people's wills. Up till now, I had only tested human capabilities, now I had to test their will. If I could control their will, I was no short of being God.
And so, I prepared a buffet for my curiosity, for a time of 50 days.

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading!
