When the heroes are in pain,
who will be there to save them?

╘═══════════════════╛


Japan had been ruined.

Your home and the places beyond the city were gone. There were no laws to protect you, no heroes to save you, nothing. All that was left were the ashes of those who rebelled,

And then you.

If people asked who they believed would die first in a 'kill or be killed' country, your name would be a part of that list. Even if the list is a long one that contains the entirety of Japan, you'd still be there, full name and everything else. You wouldn't blame them— who exactly were you aside from a first-year student whose presence left no traces in anyone's mind?

Do you think everyone agreed to the end of this Era?

You didn't.

This time, you wielded it again. And it was not to survive for another day.

"Now." With eyes that had no choice but to stare at the ceiling, you pointed the knife to your neck. "I just need to die 6,565 more."


STAB!


[A Fatal Wound has been detected.]



You were sixteen when this apocalyptic world was reduced to ashes, twenty when you had enough, and twenty-one when you'll die at your own hands.

If you compared this to a game, it would be a bad ending. But you know...

Games can be restarted, right?


[Conditions were met as a result of death.]



Your body fell limp. Your sorrow and regret were pushed back by two emotions in your last remaining life:
