If Death Could Spare One. Life is a Story - story.one

Death is a shadow-cloaked being watching his prey before he pulls his pickings in to abuse their sanity and accompany them to the gloom of his Underworld.

When the Gods introduce a cure to their boredom, it is Kirie's townspeople who are tasked with reaching the peak of the three Ray-Mountains to be rewarded with a desire fulfilled. Moving in crowds and brought to fatigue, Death's prey is decided. His pale hand's touch determines, who dies. His sweet lies are a lethal pull.

No exceptions and no mercy.

Kirie walks among her people, desperate for the salvation of her family, whose destiny has been cut short by the shadowed Death. In hatred, she spits his name and carefully avoids his presence.

Until he finds her. Faced with a conflict unfamiliar to him - desperate to touch her, but doomed to kill her if he does.
