One day, I unexpectedly died on my first date with a match arranged by my family. That idiot insisted on going to the Heaven’s Arena to watch the floor master battle, and my precious ability, which could defy fate and let me get away with anything forever, went up in smoke. I died and came back to the past. To change my fate of dying right on schedule, I have to kill those two bastards, erasing that floor master battle from the timeline. Now here’s the problem: As a serial killer who’s utterly unremarkable apart from my hobbies and my penchant for dying alongside beautiful men, how am I supposed to escape this predicament? Blurb 2: I fell in love with a man I cannot kill. He is a holy son, a lamb, beyond my reach. I will drag him down from his altar and push him off the path of martyrdom. I want him to become mortal again, to stain him with lust and selfish desire. Blurb 3: Love is when the beloved willingly gives the right to abuse them to the person who loves them. Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground 1. Original female lead, first-person narration, Chrollo pairing. My own take on the Messiah and his characterization. 2. A love story between mentally ill adults, with a twisted dynamic. Not a conventional healing romance; the focus is on emotional power plays. The three blurbs correspond to three stages. 3. No grimdark melodrama or sweeping epic, but there are plenty of criminals. Very little attention to human nature, values, ethics, or morality. 4. Corrections regarding the original work are welcome. Beyond that, I don’t accept writing advice, challenges to the content, harsh criticism, or negative reviews. If it’s not your thing, please leave. Let’s respect each other and move on in peace. 5. Thank you for reading. Theme: Empty people find fulfillment, those adrift find an anchor, and those who sacrifice themselves discover the possibility of loving and being loved.
