Chapter 10: Wait—Stay Calm

Reaper stared at me with eyes colder than steel.

He raised his weapon.

"Let me test this blade on you, just once."

"W-Wait, don't—!"

*BOOM*

A glowing portal exploded beneath my feet.

"The hell...? What did you just think of, kid?!" Reaper blinked, startled.

"It... wasn't me!!!"

*POP!*

"MY BUTT—YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!" Reaper roared, his voice echoing with pain.

I blinked.

The world around us had changed.

It was in ruins.

Dead quiet.

Dust in the wind.

And then—

*ROOOOOAR*

A giant war machine thundered into view, launching missiles right at us.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Reaper yelled, whipping his blade.

*SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!*

He sliced through the missiles mid-air. They exploded like fireworks in the sky.

*CLAP. CLAP. CLAP.*

A slow clap echoed.

"Well done, well done... Can you handle this next one?"

A barrage of bullets fired straight toward Reaper.

And me?

I was already running like hell.

"Hey! Use your thinking ability, damn it—wait, where'd that kid go?!"

A distorted voice called out:

"Die... and become another part of the experiment."
