Months had gone by, it had became Christmas Day. Yuki, during the timespan, had made an abandoned place his own home.
He had already bought himself a gift, and wanted to surprise himself with it even though he knows what it was.
Yuki had sat down on a chair, then opened up a gift with a forced smile to see a gun, already having a full magazine within it. He sighed as it was another Christmas of being alone. No parents to be there. No friends. Just silence and loneliness.
He glanced at the seats around him as he hallucinated the Grim Reaper and his parents and friends being there, but he knew the seats were empty.
It wasn't just Christmas Day, it was also his birthday. Yuki summoned out a cake onto the table.
That moment, a sound of humming was heard. He hummed to himself the happy birthday song. He sat alone—emotionless and dead—at the table.
Yuki: Happy birthday... me.
Those were the only words he spoken out as he ate the cake. Alone. His forced smile faltered quickly.
Within those moments, in Heaven, Lucian had been training with Amelia. Though, they were both being trained by an angel. Samuel the angel was the one training both.
Lucian: Hey... Samuel? Do you know anything about Samael?
Samuel: Hm? Well I can say that we are two different people. My name is Samuel, if you're talking about Samael, then he's in Hell. Casted out all because he was too prideful.
Amelia: Wasn't that Lucifer though?
Samuel: Yeah, his birth name was Samael before he fell.
That shocked both Lucian and Amelia as Samuel had said it with a casual tone and a joyful expression.
Lucian: I need to know... how's Yuki doing?
Samuel, who's joyfulness faltered, glanced at him with a serious expression. He sighed before saying anything.
Samuel: Well... if I'm being truly honest, he's... celebrating Christmas and his birthday alone. He's became so depressed that he's also hallucinating.
Amelia: But his visions, he's been hallucinating since the start.
Samuel: Yes, but now, it's gotten pretty bad he might as well fall into insanity. He's seeing things that isn't there, like the Grim Reaper, blood, and so on.
Lucian and Amelia had started to feel bad as they stood there to take in the information.
Yuki stood up from his chair and left the abandoned mansion and roamed around freely. That was until a guard appeared right in front of him.
Guard: There you are, I finally found you. You're coming with me Yuki.
Yuki: ...Who are you?
The guard glanced at him hearing his emotionless tone. It was something he had never heard before. He was mentally and emotionally dead.
Guard: It's classification, and I'm not here to hurt you. My boss wants to see you.
Yuki didn't want to trust him, but followed anyways. The guard walked him to the location to the base. They walked for hours, and had finally arrived at the entrance of an abandoned office building.
They went inside and the guard took Yuki to the office.
Yuki stepped foot inside, seeing Lillian in her chair, organizing papers as her computer is on.
Lillian: Nice to finally meet you, Yuki Fujita.
Yuki: What do you want...
Lillian: I want nothing but to recruit you. I know it's Christmas and your birthday, so this will be your gift. Being part of the Eidolon Syndicate.
She had this gentle smile with a gentle and very angelic voice. She looked like she had fell from Heaven.
He glanced at her with a suspicious look as he sat down on the chair across from her.
Lillian: Let's see. Your name is Yuki Fujita, you're fifteen years old, stand at five foot eight, had celebrated your birthday for four biological years alone. Currently you'd be seventeen mentally.
Yuki: So... you want me to join you...? is that all?
Lillian nodded with a smile that extended to ear to ear.
Lillian: Yes. You'll even get free food and we'll celebrate your birthday and Christmas together.
Yuki scoffs as he doesn't truly believe it. His negativity radiances off of him which Lillian could feel.
Lillian: So negative, but you're too far gone. I know you don't believe me, but we'll help you out.
He doesn't believe in friends or love in that matter. He sat there in awkward silence and sighed deeply before accepting the offer.
Lillian: Great! Welcome to the Eidolon Syndicate Mafia, Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, even though you're stuck at age fifteen.
Lillian: Oh! And one more thing! Considering your mana level and strength, you'll be promoted as my Vice Admiral.
Yuki: ...Vice Admiral?
Lillian: Yup! You get paid a lot more depending how much you want and a free luxury room!
She chuckled cutely while he stood there in silence. He left the office afterwards then sat down at a bench.
While Lillian was speaking to Yuki, during this moment, there were conversations happening in Heaven simultaneously.
Samuel: You know, there are many plot holes within this narrative.
Lucian and Amelia was becoming interested and curious. They weren't sure what to hear or what information they'll be given.
Samuel: Like you both know, Angels are nigh omniscient beings, same goes with seraphims.
Amelia and Lucian leaned in closely. The tone was pretty serious coming from Samuel the angel.
Samuel: Back to the topic. You see, everything that has been happening with reality is false. The so-called True Death curse was fake which confirms Lucian's theory.
Lucian: So what is it...?
He remained calmed and unchanging as Samuel glanced at them both in the eyes before sighing deeply.
Samuel: It was a curse that gives a person perfect immortality. It doesn't spread through the entire bloodline like the doctors back then says or the books states. It's selective on who it picks to have it.
Both Amelia and Lucian's eyes widened in unison as they try to process the information they had been given.
Lucian: And Yuki?
Samuel: If you want the full honest truth, then Death was with Yuki by his side since birth. Everyone had died two days afterwards, but Yuki was a baby that time so he was unsure the situation. Only reason why his parents didn't die because it would be a low blow even for Death itself.
Amelia: So what? What does that exactly mean for Yuki? What happens if Death dies?
Samuel: If Death dies, then Yuki will be carrying the curse for a year. So don't tell Yuki this. It's a secret between you both and I. The truth about reality is... unknown.
It had shocked Amelia and Lucian as their eyes widened more. They had no response to the information. It was something that they should start praying on Yuki for.
They sat in dead silence trying to process everything, but it was a struggle.
Samuel: Some secrets are better hidden than revealing the truth.
They both nodded as Samuel looked at them in the eyes as he sighed. It was a painful thought to think about. Amelia's chest was aching in pain while Lucian sat there with no words. He was speechless.
Yuki, on the other hand, had changed into a black long popped collar coat over a black suit with black pants and combat boots with a crescent moon with a cross in the middle on the back of the coat.
He stretched as he left the base and stepped foot outside. Yuki sighed deeply as he had now started limiting his usage of the Nihilistic Energy and chose to use a katana and a newly made gun that was given by Lillian.
Yuki glanced around as he then went on top of a building and sat on the very roof edge with his legs dangling off it.
His black coat was buttoned up with his katana on his back and a divine gun in his coat. He watched everything from above as chaos was slowly breaking out.
As Yuki stood up, he then started hopping roof to roof as he sprinted to the chaos. Explosions can be heard in the distance as smoke rises in the air, causing heavy pollution.
Yuki: ...I'm so tired... I want a break.. I want some time to myself... for once in my shitty life, I want to stay home, thinking about life, going back to school, getting married and having kids. But no. That was never the plan for me it seems..
He arrived as his thoughts build up with an emotionless feeling. His tired eyes showed it as he watched it happen in front of him. More deaths of innocent civilians.
He took a deep breath as he stepped off the edge of the roof, falling at great speeds as he moved his katana to his hip and pulled it out.
He had faced the blade of his katana, Divine Extermination, downwards while holding the handle upwards. It was an unknown god that had caused the chaos.
He had landed on him as his sword impaled him through the chest, causing his heart to be ripped out. The god's immortality had been reduced to zero. It was all meaningless to Yuki.
Yuki pushed his body off his katana as it was covered in blood and had started cleaning off the blood. He stared at the unknown god's body emotionlessly before letting out a sigh.
