Subaru's POV
I licked the blood dripping down my arm as the five vampires in front of me lay scattered across the floor. Their crimson blood coated the entire floor like a painting of the sea, lost and forgotten.
Yui stood on the other side like a frightened lamb amongst a pack of wolves. I had saved the best for last. Her disgustingly dull blood was surprisingly sweeter than that of my brothers'. She...was the cause of my unfortunate ending.
I casually walked towards her, my gaze never leaving her body. She cowered and backed against the wall despite knowing that her fate was sealed. There was no escape from this hell in which she had willingly walked into.
"S-Subaru, I'm sorry. P-please d-don't kill me. I-I won't-"
"You killed (Y/n) and you're going to die for ordering such a thing. Is there a problem with that?"
"B-but I didn't-"
"If you didn't tell Ayato to kill her, then he wouldn't have. She would still be alive! So it was you who killed her! And now you want to live?! How the hell is that fair?! Huh?!"
"I-I'm sorry, okay?! So stop yelling at me!"
"Shut up!"
I slammed my hands against the wall, trapping her from both sides. She jumped up in shock before shivering in fear. I smirked at her reaction, happy to have found this satisfying my greed.
I bit into her neck, ripping her skin slightly while doing so. Her warm intoxicating blood flowed into my mouth. Pain clawed at my heart as I remembered (Y/n)'s sweet scent; the first and last time I would ever taste her blood.
Without surprise, Yui's body fell limp within a few minutes. I had drained every last drop of blood from her weak worthless body. Tch, she couldn't even fight back. Pathetic human girl.

I let her body drop to the ground before stepping back to look at the scene. It was...hollow. (Y/n) was missing, and she was never going to come back. How...was I supposed to survive without her?...
~Some time later~
A knock on the front door distracted me from my distraught thoughts. I reluctantly got up and teleported to the entrance. The person outside opened the door and came in without permission, and I honestly couldn't care less.
"Is my sister here?" asked a black-haired boy that seemed to be around my height.
His sharp grey-blue eyes scanned the hall as I watched him with boredom.
"Who's your sister exactly?"
"(Y/n). We're not related by blood. Her family adopted me," he replied.
"She's dead."
"Excuse me?"
"Are you deaf? She's dead."
"What the hell do you mean?!"
He grabbed onto my shirt and pulled me closer. I ignored his death glare and pushed him off before walking away. I wasn't in the mood to fight her brother even if he had every right to get mad.
He appeared in front of me and blocked my path. His body was surrounded in frost. A vampire who had unnatural abilities...I've never fought against one before. This'd be interesting.
I was pushed up against the wall, but did nothing to stop him as he hit me again and again. I deserved it. I couldn't save (Y/n). I was too late. I hadn't tried hard enough. I...never stayed by her side...
Maybe it was better for me to leave this cruel world. Nothing could save me from this eternal hell in which I had fallen into. I was a pathetic excuse of a vampire. I...deserved to die.
"Why the hell is she dead?!"

"I'm...sorry. I couldn't...save her."
"Why not?! She was the only one I had...she was the only one I could call a sister..."
"Just get over it. I'm sure (Y/n) wouldn't want you to cry over a mere death."
"Like you can say that. I can see right through your tough persona. You're beating yourself up for not being able to save her. You loved her and it was all because of a human girl. How worthless."
"H-how?..."
"I can read minds. That frost was just to trick you. I don't have ice powers. It just appears whenever I'm using my power."
"Get lost. I don't want anything more to do with you...or her..."
"So you want to forget about my sister? *sigh* I guess she'd want that. She'd hate for you to live your life full of regret. Shall I erase your memory for you?"
"You...can do that?"
"Of course I can. I'm not such a weak vampire, you know."
"...but I can't forget about her..."
I ripped myself out of his grasp before teleporting to my room. I was too tired to argue with him. He reminded me of (Y/n) and I didn't want that. It'd only make me think about her and regret what happened even more.
(Y/n)'s POV
I watched Subaru in pain and sadness. He was suffering and it was all because I couldn't protect myself from a mere human. How pathetic of me.
I floated down to face him. He seemed to jump back in shock. I looked back but there was nothing behind me. A look of confusion crossed my face as he reached forward, only to go through my body.
"(Y-(Y/n)?!"
"Subaru, you can see me?"
"I can't hear you. Please, talk to me. I need to make sure this isn't a dream..."
I reached up to touch his cheek, feeling his soft skin beneath my ghostly fingers. Tears welled up in his eyes. I smiled happily through my tears.
"(Y/n), I love you."
"I love you too...Subaru."
I felt my body beginning to disappear. He reached out desperately but it was futile. I saw my brother enter the room as soon as I dispersed into nothing.
No one's POV
"(Y/n)...was just here, wasn't she?" asked her brother, Yuki.
Subaru didn't bother replying as he stared long and hard at the place where her body had once been, as if that'd make her come back.
Yuki stared at the white-haired vampire in pity as he began to fulfil his sister's last wish. Because he was so skilled at using his power, he had heard her thoughts.
"'I love you' is what my sister wanted to say to you," he exclaimed before erasing all his memories of the (h/c)-haired girl.
Subaru soon lost consciousness. Yuki caught him and moved him onto his bed. A tear slid down his cheek as he left the mansion, never to come back again...and began erasing his own memories.

A Universe of Bloody Evolution
The Void was never meant to be opened to the Multiverse. The horrors waiting inside it should have never seen the light. And yet, the biggest mistake in the history of creation led to the impossible. In an event later known as the Outbreak, gates appeared in the first Universe, and with them, the Void was free. For ages the Void destroyed universe after universe, spreading its power in every direction, leaving only death and pain behind. But before every Universe met its end, it still had a chance. A small part of the population that survived the initial Outbreak and was granted a mysterious System to help them fight against the dangers that came from the Void. They were the Multiverse's last hope even if they couldn't stop the collapse of their own world. And so the cycle continued until the 36th Outbreak came. Leo Hale, a young reporter from Wolford, was one of the lucky ones to survive when the majority of Earth's population turned into monsters straight out of nightmares. Thrust into a constant battle for his life, Leo was determined to push forward and find his remaining family. Even if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity. After all, you either adapt or die. Story of progression and evolution with my take at the post-apocalyptic genre. Unlike most monster evolution stories where the monster rushes to gain human form, here I plan to do something quite the opposite. After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill you, being human can be hard. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. This is my first original novel. Also English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. Remember that even if initially this story takes place on Earth, fictional places, streets, etc will appear. Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday Average chapter length: 2000-2500 words (There might be exceptions as is the case with some of the first chapters - most of them are longer.)
