As the battle goes on, Alfi is remained tortured in his own inner. He is screaming aloud that he can't do anything but screaming. It is dark, empty, and cold. He can't use his power nor ability to imagine something shooting and warm to recover himself. He lets himself getting hurt by his mind. What is going wrong here anyway?

The smoke is still tearing him, and then suddenly it vanishes leaving him falling on the surface with pain on his whole body. Fortunately, he can feel his body, and his senses seem okay. He can feel his body, he can taste his saliva, he can smell the scar on his left hand, and he can see his body even though his surrounding is pitch black.

He wonders what was that.

What is that smoke?

Why did it appear and tear his body apart?

How did that smoke appear?

That felt real, yet he didn't die.

His mind is full of unanswered questions. He puts them aside and starts looking for the girl.

"Where is Dewi?" He asked himself. "Hey, novelist! Little help?" He shouted expecting me to help him.

I'll ignore that. I am sorry Alfi, no plot armor for you this time. You just need to do it on your own.

"Fuck you!"

Hey, I give you a chance to experience what it feels to be the real protagonist like what happens in every story. This should give you a lesson about the meaning of true life.

"Shut the fuck up. I don't want to live my pathetic and miserable life. Just give me a spoiler and I'll get it over once and for all."

So you are a coward.

"Do I care about that? All humans do want something pleasant for their lives. No one wants to experience burdens, miseries, or such."

Hah, now you are talking. The thing is, I can't help you as this chapter is the initial one for the volume, which means, you have to do it on your own till the end of this chapter, or else, we'll end up here wasting the words count provided by the Web Novel here.

"Wait, wait, wait, Web Novel? You don't write in the Indonesian version first?"

Nope.

"Why?"

Well, fantasy doesn't sell much in Indonesia. They'd rather enjoy romance and comedy. Well, romance is not my cup of tea. Instead of a romance story, I'd rather write a hardcore adult story. If you know what I mean.

"Well, you can't write a romance story as you have never had a girlfriend, haven't you?"

Can you shut that bitchy mouth of yours? To tell you the truth, that is one of my reasons why I don't write romance stories. The most important is, I hate it. Especially they always use Gary Stu and Mary Sue which sound so unrealistic. Oh, they are so perfect. I would like to have a boyfriend like him. I would like to rape a girlfriend like her. Can you find someone as perfect as Gary Stu or Mary Sue? I bet you can't. The only perfect couple is waifu and husbando. You don't need to find it, you just have to imagine it.

"You seem to hate something like that, don't you?"

Kinda, now, let's go back to business. Good luck.

"Hey wait! What happened to the blog?!"

I just simply ignore him.

"Oh well, guess he won't help me this time." Alfi sighed. "Feeling jealous over somebody good looking. What a cliche excuse. I feel sorry for him for not having Doki-Doki power in his universe. If it were to exist, humans probably will happy or probably causing chaos to their own." He muttered as he walks straight not knowing what his destination is.

The chilling and dark inner of his own. He wonders if everyone's mind does look like this. He does know that everyone is born unique. They have various traits, preferences, abasements, and such. But in the end, we are the same deep within. We do have something called sorrow and pain in our hearts. That's why our inner is so dark and chilling that no one can stay here any longer.

Do you ever wonder why I describe one's inner like this? Chilling and dark? Just imagine this, you have something that anyone should not see, something like a disgrace that no one should know about it, or else, they will hate you for sure. Where would you hide it? Your room? Your bathroom? Your pants? That would be not enough as someone might find out, right? What would the best place to hide that? You need some kind of place no one knows. Someplace which is secluded and deserted. Something you only know where it is. Something no one would dare to go to. This is it, inner, the safest place you can trust your secrets to.

Oh well, I wasted more words for such a trivial thing, eh? Moving on.

He is wandering there wondering where has Dewi gone through. He also wonders why she shoved him into the smoke. As he wanders, suddenly he sees a guy in a black cloak.

He is seen to be a slim muscular guy with a pair of thin dazzling wings with a gradient color of black, purple, and blue. He has long hair to his shoulders. His skin is lightly tanned and he has a pair of golden eyes. And he is wielding a sword which blade is white, long, and sharp on his left hand.

Alfi can sense a very intimidating aura coming from him. The guy is staring at Alfi and gives Alfi a smirk. He slowly moves his sword upward, and.

ZAP

He suddenly appears before Alfi's very eyes. Without any warning, he moves his sword fast to Alfi horizontally to slice Alfi into 2, but fortunately, Alfi managed to evade it just in time and used the momentum to back dash making a distance of about 3 meters.

"What's your problem?!" Alfi exclaimed.

The guy points out his sword to Alfi.

"You..." He said in an eerie tone.

The guy suddenly appears in front of Alfi.

"ARE GOING TO DIE!" He swings his sword downwards vertically to Alfi.

SLASH

CLANK

Alfi manages to block his slash by pulling out Pelidi from his bracelet. The guy is still putting force on his sword while Alfi is trying to hold his sword while maintaining his balance.

"Killing me in my inner? You do get balls to do so, eh?" Alfi said.

"I, Thanatos, the god of Death. Alfa, your life will be mine!" He exclaimed putting more strength on his sword breaking Alfi's balance.

As he is going to pierce Alfi's head. Alfi covers his head with his right hand, and the bracelet is seen to emit Tipit from itself letting Tipit hitting the end of his sword. Alfi then grabs Tipit and swings it horizontally dismantling Thanatos's sword.

As Alfi is about to pierce Thanatos' body, Thanatos vanishes in a jiffy. Alfi then looks around him. He thinks that Thanatos won't just flee that easily, especially when he said that he wanted Alfi's life.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

"I know that you are still here. Show yourself!"

As Alfi is done with his word, suddenly he feels something thin and sharp piercing his body from behind.

"As I thought..." Alfi said sluggishly.

"Hey, do you know? This sword can cut not just your body, but also your soul. Thanks to your weird power, you don't bleed. But still, life is life. An essential thing of any living being yet it's so fragile. Once you lose it, it's all over" Thanatos said.

"What?!"

"Game over."

Thanatos pulls out his sword swiftly and split Alfi's body into 2. And then Thanatos raises both of his arms like a victorious wrestler.

What? It's done already. Just go home, will ya? What? Too many plot holes? Oh well, it's just a part of the joke anyway. Well, guess you didn't expect he would die that easily, did you? Well, according to the script. Oops, another spoiler, well, go on!

POOF

The massacred Alfi is found to be one of his clothesline clips.

TAP TAP TAP

"I don't know why are you so eager to kill me." Alfi walks approaching Thanatos at the horizon.

"What?!" Thanatos is startled by seeing Alfi approaching him.

"Can we just talk it over? I am busy right now." He seems so pissed off.

Meanwhile, in the supernatural world, Levi is made busy with Kartika. Both of them are trying to kill each other. Levi with her dual electric swordfish, and Kartika with her Morning Wood. Kartika slams her Morning Wood to the surface triggering sharp stones soaring from the ground.

Seeing that, Levi takes a leap and something like a turtle shell. And then she lands on the shell while the stones soaring.

"This kind of blow won't do, you know?" Levi said.

"I know that already, Cakra!" Kartika exclaimed.

Cakra is seen coming to Levi with his fist ready to crush the shell. Not only that, Kartika suddenly appears behind Levi ready to whack Levi with Morning Wood.

"You are finished!" Kartika and Cakra exclaimed.

"Not bad," Levi said. "But, you can do more than this, can't you?" Levi immediately grows some tentacles from her joints.

Those tentacles are coming to Kartika and Cakra shoving them to the surface that those tentacles crushing the surface with their bodies.

"I have to hurry. I can sense that the death gods are invading his inner. This is ridiculous! There are 11 of them! In any cases, I have to go to his inner to save him. I can't let any one of them take his life!" Levi is frustrated as she can tell that Alfi is encountering something dangerous in his own inner.

Levi then lands smoothly and walks approaching Alfi.

"Don't!" Kartika exclaimed in a vague tone as she pants.

She is just able to see Levi is slowly walking to Alfi. Cocong is seen to faint, and Cakra has returned to her pendant. She has no stamina left to summon Cakra nor to stand up to fight back. Though, she is still trying to get up to stop Levi from killing him.

"Don't push yourself. I promise I won't hurt him. He will have his happiness instead. I promise, okay? So just stay there, and let me take care of him."

"No..." Kartika is using all of her might to get up, yet she just can't.

"This is for his sake. Though he dies, he won't suffer any longer. If he lives just to suffer, I'd rather kill him and let him happy as a devil."

"No..."

As she is close to him. She gets her swordfish arm ready to pierce him.

"Alfi, you don't need to suffer anymore."

As Levi is going to pierce his heart, suddenly Kartika appears letting her hand getting stabbed by Levi's swordfish.

"Don't!" Kartika exclaimed with tears dripping from her eyes holding the pain from her stabbed hand.

"How stubborn." Levi pulls out her swordfish. "Listen, I don't want to kill you. I just want to kill him."

"Then, you have to step over my dead body!"

Her dripping Iru suddenly goes gushing out like water coming out from jet water canon. It comes out more and more that it turns itself into a great mass of blue Iru.

"I won't let you lay a single finger on him!" Kartika exclaimed.

The mass Iru then comes down devouring Kartika's whole body.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHHHHHH!" Kartika is screaming in pain inside that mass Iru.

That gives everyone a shock. They have never seen Kartika like this before. The mass Iru is having sparks inside it striking Kartika with those sparks. Tormenting her like crazy.

The mass then vanishes, leaving Kartika remained standing there with a flat expression on her face. She slowly opens her eyes, and those eyes of hers are seen to be dazzling blue. Not just her eyes, her white dress also has turned into a white light armor with blue stripes on her joints, a floating white loincloth on each of her shoulders, and a hip-length white skirt on her bottom. She also has something like a pair of azure iron spiky gauntlets on her hands. Not to mention that her body is enveloped by a thin blue Iru cloak.

"Kartika, do you really love him? Did that feeling make you do that reckless stuff?" Levi is wondering why Kartika is so persistent to stop her. "Just what are you?"

Alfi is having a fierce battle against Thanatos. Thanatos is a minor figure in Greek Mythology. Thanatos is known as the personification of Death. He is merciless, and he loves cutting one's life with his sword and sending the remains to the Underworld.

Alfi, with all of his might, trying to block every of Thanatos's blows with Pelidi and Tipit. He mustn't let any of Thanatos' blow hit him. Thanatos is about to pierce Alfi, and Alfi manages to parry Thanatos's blow. Alfi uses this chance to launch a counter-attack by sending Thanatos flying with a heavy strike by swinging Pelidi and Tipit altogether.

"Good, I managed to put some distance from him," Alfi said in his mind.

As he thinks that he did put some distance, he sees Thanatos flying in the sky by flapping his wings.

"What the fucking Hell?! I forgot that he has wings!" Alfi swore.

"Your idiocy is the one that kills you!" Thanatos is coming to Alfi with his sword ready to slice Alfi.

As Thanatos almost manages to slice Alfi, suddenly Alfi parries Thanatos' blow with Pelidi which has turned into a black Tachi. Yes, Alfi has activated the Menace mode just in time. Alfi then smirks at Thanatos.

"What's so funny?" Thanatos asked in an unpleasant tone.

"Does death want me so bad? Just take my life if you can!"

The black spear is coming from Alfi's abdomen piercing Thanatos's body.

"KUH!" Thanatos feels as if his energy is being drained.

"Hi, Death, how does it feel to get hurt?" Alfi asked.

"Ha! It's nothing! God won't die that easily you know?!"

"So won't I. Then, let's see who dies first!"

"Are you not afraid of Death?"

"Should I? That sounds ridiculous. Why should I fear something unavoidable like that?"

"Then, why are you fighting back?"

"I am sorry, I just can't give you my life for now. Please try again later." Alfi then turns into a black clothesline clip.

"What?!" Thanatos is surprised to see that Alfi he fought is a clone.

Then, he sees four Alfis are coming to the impaled Thanatos. they are wielding black Tachi and black Spear ready to finish Thanatos off. As Alfi is about to finish Thanatos off,

NEIGH

Suddenly a guy in black on a black horse appears. He sends Alfis flying with a single kick of his horse. He then grabs the spear which is impaled on Thanatos' body and pulls it out directly.

"You don't need to come here, you know?" Thanatos said in an unpleasant tone.

"Silence, Thanatos. You just failed to take the Alfa's life. Looks like I just have to do it by myself. Jeez, you are so useless." He said.

He is a figure in a pitch-black cloak. The aura surrounding him is more intimidating than Thanatos that the aura itself covers his face that none can see his face clearly. He is riding a black horse and carrying a giant scythe on his back.

"A reinforcement, eh?" Alfi sighed getting up.

He is still in Menace mode by the way.

"Alfa, just give up your life on me! I know that you have a miserable life, and I, Moros, am here to put it to the end once and for all.

Moros is a twin of Thanatos. The duo has the same job and impression, Death.

"Hey, Moros. Back off, will ya? He is mine!" Thanatos exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Alfi asked wondering what Moros means.

"Well, I do know that your life is tough. Your parents dumped you, your best friend fooled you, your girlfriend made fun of you, everyone tried to kill you. There's no reason to stay alive, right? What is the point if you just live to suffer?" Moros asked.

"Maybe you are right," Alfi answered briefly.

"Then, just give up and let me take your life," Moros said getting ready to swing his giant scythe.

"I refused," Alfi said.

"Excuse me?"

"I refused to give up. I still wanna live." Alfi said in a bold tone.

"Heh, you did say that your life is meaningless. You did attempt to kill yourself after that event, didn't you?"

"I did."

"Then you said you didn't wanna live any longer, and now you want to stay alive. You are nothing but a disgraceful hypocrite."

"Hypocrisy is a sign of humanity. It can't be helped, right?"

"Well, but it's too late. You may regret it in the underworld!" Moros appears in front of Alfi and Thanatos appears behind Alfi out of the blue.

"Regret, huh?" Suddenly eleven black orbs with a sun motif appear around Alfi and fly shoving the duo to the sky.

"In the end, I finally have my reason to live. I have some people who acknowledge my existence. And that makes me appreciate the meaning of life itself. Regret does come late. But, it isn't supposed to be the end. It's up to how I handle it. It's either I accept my end or refuse it. And I refuse it." Alfi said manifesting Pelidi on his right hand and Tipit on his left hand.

"Alfa, you are an interesting one you know? Even gods like us desire to have your life. And I mean it, literally."

As Moros said that, suddenly another 9 figures appear beside them.

"They are just like us, the one gods of Death. Moros, Thanatos, Anubis, Osiris, Odin, Yama, ker, Ankou, Hel, Izanami, and La Muerte. All of us want to have your life. You don't stand a chance to survive, Alfa." Moros said.

The 11 gods of Death are standing there getting ready to take Alfi's life.

"I did say I refuse to give up. I won't die and I will wake up to save my friends, my family!" Alfi exclaimed.

"So, you've chosen Death!" Moros points out his scythe to Alfi.

"KAKATE KOI!" Alfi exclaimed.

Alfi is not safe at all. He has to encounter the 11 gods of Death who desire his life so bad.
