VOID OF JUDGMENT
Darkness had weight.
Not the kind that pressed against the eyes, but the kind that pressed against the soul. It felt thick, endless, like drowning without water. I didn't breathe. I didn't blink. I simply was.
No body. No pain. No blood.
That alone told me I was dead.
I remembered my last moments clearly—too clearly. The smell of iron. The warmth running down my hands that didn't belong to me. I had been efficient. Clean. Precise. Killing wasn't emotional for me. It had been a profession, a habit, a skill honed over years.
I wasn't proud of it.
But I wasn't sorry either.
A presence stirred in the void.
Not a voice. Not a god. Something closer to a system, cold and impartial.
EVALUATING PREVIOUS LIFE…
Light erupted—not blinding, but absolute. Symbols floated in front of me, carved from glowing white lines.
STATUS: DECEASED
CAUSE: VIOLENT TERMINATION
MORAL ALIGNMENT: NEUTRAL-EVIL
PROFESSION: ASSASSIN / SERIAL KILLER
I didn't argue. It was accurate.
POINT ACCUMULATION COMPLETE
Numbers appeared.
TOTAL POINTS: 12,000
That made me pause.
Ten thousand… for a lifetime of killing?
Another line followed.
POINT SOURCES:
EVIL POINTS: 10,200
GOOD POINTS: 1,800
Memories flashed—rare moments when I'd spared someone. When I'd killed worse monsters than myself. When I'd helped a child escape a burning building because it annoyed me to hear them scream.
I hadn't been good.
But I hadn't been completely empty either.
NOTICE:
THIS IS YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND POINTS
ONCE REINCARNATED, ALL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS WILL CEASE
So this was judgment.
Or maybe temptation.
Another panel unfolded.
DESTINATION WORLD CONFIRMED: ONE PIECE
That… surprised me.
A world of pirates. Freedom. Dreams. Monsters wearing smiles. A place where willpower could split the sky.
Interesting.
