ғᴇᴇʟs ʟɪᴋᴇ?
Opening her eyes, Arisa felt a sudden confusion as she sees a rock wall in front of her. From behind her, she hears a gathering of people chanting something that she didn’t understand. Failing to understand the situation she was in, she tried to move but felt something restrict her.
Looking at her hands that were stretched on each side, she finds chains on both of her wrists. She then looks down, her feet were at least 2m off from the ground. The chains were the only thing holding her up. After that, she looks at her chest, where she was wearing a white robe.
Arisa
💭: What the heck is happening?
Arisa
💭: Am I getting sacrificed or is this an execution?
Author's note:
In Japan, women and men who are about to get married wear white robes. Of course this can be said for executions, rituals and ghosts.
Once the people stopped chanting, something smoke-like came out of the water, appearing in front of her. She didn’t know what it was, but at that moment she thought.
Arisa
💭: Ah I see, I’m being sacrificed as an offering to a demon. So, it doesn’t kill them or something.
Solidifying its presence, Arisa was stunned. Its appearance was that of a handsome man with long white hair and bits of a shade of Gray at the end of its hair. It had a red horn and wore a black and red dou. White coloured threads were attached to the surface of the black and gold iron plate it wore. It's yukata pants were the colour of an amethyst. Its clothing looked like something that someone in the Edo Period would wear to go to battle.
It blinks several times then stares at Arisa for a minute. He moves his hand in a thinking pose. Inside Arisa's head, she concludes that it was a demon or devil. After a couple of seconds, he decides to open his mouth to speak.
???
Hmm, I didn't want a boy.
The demon was somewhat disappointed at Arisa’s boyish appearance. Arisa was 179cm tall, had short black hair, glasses and a really flat chest.
Arisa
While I don't look like it, I'm a full-fledged girl!
???
I definitely don't want one with a temper.
Arisa
Well, I'm sorry, Mr "Demon"
Arisa
I just woke up and I don't know where the f*ck I am.
Arisa
How am I supposed to be feeling? 💢
???
Less angry and more confused?
Arisa
Yes, and No. I prefer being unique.
The demon laughed in joyful glee.
???
What is your name, shoujo?
Arisa
Me? Well, it’s Arisa
???
Mm, you may call me Amaterasu.
╔═══━━━──── • ────━━━═══╗
Shoujo means young girl in Japanese, while oni means demon. In Google Translate it would be akuma for demon. But akuma are demons in western culture, while oni are more closely related with ogres or yokai. Even my Japanese teacher said oni means demon.
╚═══━━━──── • ────━━━═══╝
Arisa
💭: Isn't Amaterasu the goddess of the sun?
The two smirked at each other, until Arisa slowly stopped smirking. As she drops her smirking, she made a serious expression. Amaterasu expected that she was going to question him seriously. But she softened her expression and spoke in a childish voice.
Arisa
Since I’m in a pickle, why not make a deal with me?
Amaterasu
...Despite not having anything?
Arisa
Well, hear me out first.
Arisa
Since from your expression, you seem to be interested in me.
Arisa
If you get me out of these chains, I’ll show you something really interesting.
Amaterasu
The deal is tempting, but how do I know that you could be lying?
Arisa looks at Amaterasu with burning passion and excessiveness. Her consciousness did not waver in the hint of death. Amaterasu hated humans because they were simply boring. But this was the first time that he found one so interesting.
Amaterasu suddenly teleports Arisa to a dark room. Arisa wondered where she was, looking left, right front and back. Until looking at the floor beneath her, where a blue magic circle was engraved on it.
Author's note: This story focuses on supernatural exorcism rather than Isekai magic.
She asked Amaterasu, but he didn't respond. Asking again, it still didn't respond. Her efforts were futile, until then he finally spoke, but not for an answer but rather for an odd request.
Amaterasu
Dσ ყσυ ɯιʂԋ ƚσ Ⴆҽ ɱყ ɯιҽʅԃҽɾ?
Confused at what Ishiyama had just said, Arisa wanted to ask what he meant. But didn't since it was in a situation where one could not ask a question. In a couple of seconds, she concluded and said.
Arisa
💭: I don't know how long I'm going to stay here or get out of here.
Arisa
💭: But having Amaterasu as weapon will be beneficial if I stay this...world.
Arisa
💭: But is this place somewhere in this world?
Arisa
💭: Is there such thing as a world?
Arisa
💭: I'm confusing myself.
After a long silence, Ishiyama finally answered.
Amaterasu
Iϝ ƚԋαƚ ιʂ ʂσ....
Amaterasu
Dɾαɯ ɱყ Ⴆʅαԃҽ αɳԃ ʂαყ ƚԋყ ɳαɱҽ
A katana appeared holstered next to Arisa's hip. The katanas colour was black as the deepest part of the abyss.
She was surprised, but not at the same time. Looking at the katana for a minute, she unsheathed it. Halfway from fully unsheathing it, someone's voice rang in her head.
Teleporting back to the room she was in, the chains from Arisa's wrists, started crumbling into nothing. Dropping onto the floor with her two feet, she checked her wrists of any red marks, there were none. But only the bandage that was already there when she woke up.
Arisa
💭: Why do I sound like Eren? I don't want to be like Eren.
The other people who were in the room were surprised, but one of them goes and attacks Arisa.
At that moment, she decides not to use the katana on her hip for whatever unknown reason. As the person points a sword at her, she dodges him. She uses her knee to kick their stomach then kicking him in the head.
She runs to the next person and kicks them in the face propelling them into the people behind them. As more people continue to surround her, she uses her fists to knock most of them out. The people also wore a white robe that covered their entire body.
Amaterasu
Wow, you’re quite a fighter yourself.
Arisa
Hah?! A talking sword?! You turned into a talking sword?!
Amaterasu
Yeah I did, and is there any problem with that?
Amaterasu formed into a ghost in front of Arisa. He mouth gaped in surprise.
Arisa
Oh, you can do that as well?
Arisa heard something, it was a faint voice that belonged to someone she knew. It was Tatsuya Yuukishima. Wasting no time, she quickly broke at least one bone of numerous capturers (people) that swarmed her. She quickly ran to where she heard the voice with Ishiyama floating behind. Upon reaching the room, she found Tatsuya embroiled with another demon.
The demon looked female this time, but younger. Basically a loli. She had dark purple hair and eyes. She wore a long white dress that covers her feet and held a human skull with a crown on top of it. It sat tight in the arms of the demon.
Ridding the urge to make a lolicon joke, Arisa pushed Tatsuya aside while shielding him with her katana. She also blocks the demons numerous hand attacks.
The demon dodged. Smiling with glee, it runs to Arisa holding a sword it manifested. Arisa concentrates more and goes in for the kill.
The two swords clash together as they were forcefully striked at each other. Arisa and demon dodged and blocked at each other's attacks.
They both continue to clash together. Swords and spirit. It looked like that the demon overpowered Arisa, but she was holding herself on same ground as it. Even though the demon used complicated sword techniques to kill her, Arisa always blocked them or dodged them. Despite in the midst of the battle, the demon could still have an internal monologue.
Demon
💭: She's not a normal human to survive a demon for this long.
Demon
💭: Either way, I'll eat her body once I'm done....As well as her male companion.
Demon
💭: Her attacks are getting heavy....?
After an intense rally of blocking, the demon felt that Arisa's attacks started to get more heavy each time they clashed. Being in close proximity of the demon, Arisa's foot slipped intentionally. The demon who thought this was a moment to strike, was foolish. She planted her left foot into the ground and spin around behind the demon. The demon who was going to strike was surprised at this fast moment, that it didn't have enough time to dodge. Arisa managed to slash the demon once.
The two move back to their original spot. The demon holds its injury together, it had already lost a bit of blood from the attack. Despite the wound, it gets ready to cast a spell as it does some chanting. It raises it's hand to lock on its target.
Amaterasu
Hurry up, before it activates its spell!
Arisa
💭: I know! You don't have to tell me that. 💢
Once Arisa strikes the air for no reason, she steps back then lunges forward with her katana. Piercing the demon's fleash with several slashes. The demon had already became exhausted from the battle, the injury made it even more worse. Due to this conclusion, the demon was a newbie.
Once she delivered the final blow, the demon returned to its original state as a katana. It fell to the ground in a loud thump. Picking the blue coloured katana up, Arisa chucked it onto the floor near Tatsuya.
Arisa
Well, who else, Tatsuya?
Tatsuya
No one but me. Hehe.
Arisa
That’s why sometimes you are stupid.
Arisa
You’re not supposed to apologise!
Arisa checked to see if there were any injuries on Tatsuya. There were none luckily. She sighs in relief.
Tatsuya
I managed to dodge all the attacks she tried to hit me with. So, I’m fine.
Arisa
IT, it could be a boy for all you know.
Tatsuya
Wouldn’t that be a trap?
Arisa
But if you have time, teach me how to become the master of dodging.
Arisa
I want Izaya’s dodging skills and Shizuo’s unimaginable strength.✨
Arisa
Well, it’s good to see that you’re not hurt. If you were, I was going to have to use…
Arisa turned her attention to the bandage that was wrapped around her right wrist. She focused on what injury she had beneath the bandage but then turned to look at Tatsuya and smiled. Tatsuya knew what she was going to say, and she anticipated that.
Arisa
I’m glad that you’re not injured.
Once Arisa's words fell out,
she remembered a memory that she- anyone would not like to remember.
A sight to behold one could say, but not one that would be honoured. Arisa first seen the feet of the body, then looking straight up at a face. A face too familiar that she would never forget. A person she knew had hung themselves. Shock was the first emotion she felt then she felt nothing. Being immersed in the memory, Arisa had forgotten that Tatsuya was alive next to her. He spoke which made Arisa snap out of it.
Arisa
Ah- y-yeah I'm fine.
She helped him stand on his two feet. After that, she turned to Amaterasu.
Arisa
So, where’s the exit, Amaterasu?
Arisa
This is Amaterasu, I believe he is my familiar.
Amaterasu
How do you know that?! I haven’t even told you!
Arisa
Well, all that stuff before leading me to guess that.
Arisa
I won't answer your question yet but I'll answer the other one.
Arisa
The reason why I know how to use a katana is that when I was around 6, I learnt Kendo.
Author's note: Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art, descended from swordsmanship,
that uses bamboo swords as well as protective armor.
Tatsuya
Yes, that is true.
Arisa
Tatsuya also knows how to use the katana!
Tatsuya
I'm not very good at it though. 😅
Arisa
Utter nonsense! You're pretty good.
Arisa
At least you're better than the people who don't even do club activities.
Tatsuya
But....You didn't do any club activities in your first year of highschool, right?
Arisa lightly patted Tatsuya's back.
Arisa
Have more confidence in yourself. ✨
Tatsuya
💭: My question was ignored. 😄
Arisa
Anyway, enough about us. You should answer my previous question, Amaterasu.
He sighed, then gestured to follow him as he floated away. Once Tatsuya grabbed the other katana, the two ran after him in haste. Going up numerous staircases and uneven surfaces. Once they caught up to him, he presented them to a view of a single door.
Amaterasu
The exit should be through here.
At that moment, a single question ended up in Arisa's head. The question was triggered by that memory.

What Happened So Far
_________________________
Arisa and Tatsuya finds themselves teleported into a strange and cave like place. After defeating their enemies (Presumably a cult) they both contain a katana with a demon imbued into it. One if the demons, Amaterasu. Takes them to the exit of the place.
{ This story is not for all ages. Please read at your own disgression }
Upon opening the stone door, Arisa sees a totally different room from the rest of the place. Instead of a cave rock ceiling and flat cobblestone floor, it was a dining room. A lengthy, shady brown oak table stretched out by six chairs on each side, being at one end there was only one chair. While the other side was not seen, it was pitch black on either side of the table. There was nothing on the tables besides an old candle that was not lit.
The chairs had an intricate design and detail carved on the sides of the chairs. The cushion on its lap was dark grey and a black veil covered every chair but only covering the backside of a chair. Also, one window can be seen on the left side of the room but if you look through it, all you see is the eternal darkness that goes on forever. Despite so, it was coloured pink instead. The black linen curtains hanged broken, as no one cares to get a new one.
Looking away from the window, a fireplace was on the right side of the room. There was no fire, neither there were accessories on the deck. Onto the ceiling there was one white chandelier, it didn't sway neither did have a day. It only stayed that way, until today. The entire vintage room came off an ominous and gloomy feeling. It gave Arisa goosebumps.
Arisa
Hey, Amaterasu. Is this really the exit—
Once Arisa turned around, she did not see Amaterasu anywhere. There was no door, but a wall. She touches it and confirms it to be solid. She then looks around the room again. It had been that Amaterasu just disappeared into thin air. The katana had also disappeared.
Arisa
* Turns to Tatsuya *
Tatsuya looks around and doesn't see him as well. His sword also disappeared besides Amaterasu. He shrugged with a clueless expression.
Tatsuya
I don't know ┐(‘～`;)┌
Suddenly, a clutch of cold air shoved them onto the seats of the long table and grabbed them into place. They could not move either speak, they were trapped. Arisa thought asked where that wind came from, the windows were closed shut so there would be no ventilation.
Arisa
💭: Was that even wind?
While Arisa questioned many questions, Tatsuya had no thoughts in his head. He was zoning out. Out of the situation he was in. It was not because he wanted to escape the situation, it was because he didn't need to fuss over things and panic. He simply waited for something to happen that already didn't.
A sound of high heels creaked the long table. Arisa and Tatsuya both snapped out of it and looked straight at the end of the table. There was nothing but darkness. As the steps sound creeps closer to them, Arisa's heart pounded in anticipation. She did feel scared but tried to calm her nerves.
A figure appeared in front of them on the table. It was a woman. She held a white mask that covered her left eye. Her right eye was dull grey with the pupil being the colour of gold. As well as her gold eyeshadow combined with the red eyeliner. She looked very similar to Amaterasu except for the clothing. She wore a traditional Chinese dress and had black feathers situated on her head. Her silky silver hair dropping to the floor.
She smiles, her half-smile since the mask is covering the left side of her face. A pupil mark can be seen near her right eye. Wearing dark red lipstick smeared on her small yet plump lips, she slowly opens her mouth to speak. Arisa was a bit surprised at the woman's voice since it was quite seductive, deep and calming.
???
I have been waiting for the two of you.
Arisa
Who are you? What do you want from us?
???
You seem quite calm despite being trapped. How amusing.
???
Stop talking or else I'll kill your other friends.
The mysterious woman's holds up a shining blue orb. Inside it was the six other people that were high-school friends with Arisa and Tatsuya. It showed the predicament they were each in. Arisa was a little perturbed by the globe, but tried to calm down.
Arisa
Do you truly think that would scare me?
???
Maybe not you, but that boy over there. He's sweating buckets!
Indeed, Tatsuya was sweating and trembling. He had anxiety written on his eyes. Through eye contact, Arisa signalled him to calm down and breathe. Tatsuya who deciphered that, did what he was told. And calmed down in about a few minutes.
???
Tch. Are you sure you are not scared that your friends might die?
Silence was then spread into the room. The woman thought she won, but a sly smile on Arisa's face surprised her. Arisa then laughed out loud, Tatsuya felt second hand embarassment.
Tatsuya
💭: Why is she laughing, while I'm terrified? •́ ‿ ,•̀
Arisa wipes away her tears.
Arisa
Why would they die over something like this? I expected better.
???
Positive, aren't we? I guess I can—
Suddenly, the woman's eyes widened in utter surprise. The situation completely changed, the other six were able to overturn their obstacles. She quickly turns away to see if the event was true, she bit her lip in annoyance. Arisa chuckled.
Arisa
See? I told you so...
Arisa
Wҽ αɾҽ ɳσƚ ɳσɾɱαʅ ԋιɠԋʂƈԋσσʅҽɾʂ
AKIRA SENSEI
Author's note: I remember putting them down as supporting characters. But for season 1, I'll degrade them down to minor characters.You'll barely see them in the story.
Since the situation wasn't to the woman's disgression, she smashed the orb onto the floor. It broke into pieces and disappeared. Suddenly, the six were teleported into same room. Using some sort of excorcim to bind them into the chair, as they could not move. Watane ( Red haired dude ) tried speaking, but his voice couldn't come out. The same with the others, they could only watch in silence.
???
Alright, you got me. 💨
???
My name is Izanami, the Goddess of Death. Pay your respects~
Tatsuya
💭: The Goddess of Death?
Tatsuya
💭: Does that mean we are all dead?!
Izanami
That's correct, Tatsuya kun!
Izanami
You are all dead! You eight killed yourself by suicide~
Izanami
Shh! You'll find out yourself!
Izanami
Now, you are currently all in my abyss or void. A space seperate from the world you are being teleported in. (≧▽≦)
Izanami
The only way to let people out or in is by the user's command~
Arisa
Why are we even here?
Izanami
Shut up, I'm getting there. 💢
Izanami
Due to unforeseen circumstances with the systems creator, it seems you all have fallen out of the trip to the afterlife.
Izanami
How did that happen? Well, I have no idea! Maybe the system's creator proxy died?
Izanami
You don't know the system? The system was created to aid Jen in her journey to survive. ✨
Izanami
You both didn't read A Lone Human?
Arisa
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Izanami
Ah, that's right! The author hasn't released a chapter about it. She has only released six chapters.
Izanami
Due to her foolishness, she accidentally deleted the file for the A Lone Human script. So she has to do it all again.
Izanami
But either way, you really don't know? Aren't you the author?
AKIRA SENSEI
Bruh, I'm exposing myself. 😌🤚 Please don't hate me. 😭
Izanami jumps off the table and goes behind Arisa's chair. She places her hands on the back of the chair and looks above Arisa.
Izanami
It seems to me that you all have lost most of your memories. It is expected though.
Izanami
It's also a great thing! It means that you'll be more shocked when you'll remember.
Izanami's words triggered a memory in Arisa's head. It was blurry memory of a young child with black hair holding out his hand to her. She tries to remember who was the boy's identity, but couldn't go past the memory.
Arisa
I still don't believe, we killed ourselves.
Izanami
Even if you don't believe the situation, it happened nonetheless.
Izanami
Also, one more person will be joining you all once he finished taking those pills~
Izanami
Nikki Yuukishima, Tatsuya's cousin~
Izanami
I'm bored, so next topic!
Izanami
From the obvious looks on your faces, I know you guys don't want to be here. I can tell you how to get out of this world.
Izanami
Since, the world is in an endless time loop following a certain storyline. You can't die as long as you stay in that world.
The six who were quiet the whole time, suddenly maked a racket. They obviously wanted more information but with Izanami's command, the six disappeared. Leaving Arisa and Tatsuya in the same room as her. Since there was no need for precautions any longer, she undid the spell and let them move.
Izanami
Since they are all gone, I can finally talk to you both privately~
Tatsuya fell off the chair once the spell was removed.
Izanami
Don't get angry. I just wanted to show you something~
Izanami
Since your identity is special, I'll show you the reason why Tatsuya died.
Izanami puts her finger on his lips and forces their mouths to shut. She says to them that they'll be watching clips of the scenes of Tatsuya's life. Suddenly, their bodies become light and the float around Tatsuya's memories.
AKIRA SENSEI
There will be a lot of information to intake, so please read slowly.
Tatsuya was born into a rich family. Despite so, he was quite happy. Especially his father and mother who loved him and cared for him deeply. Until 13/9, his mother died due to unknown sickness. This was odd, since the last time he saw her was 12/9, and she looked completely fine. A week later, a funeral was held.
The suspicious thing about his father on the day of the funeral was not the crying but the quiet laughter he heard. Tatsuya concluded that his father killed his mother. After a couple of weeks, his father drank and started getting aggressive. To the point where he abused Tatsuya every day. Arisa, his childhood friend found out and tried to help him. But her efforts were in vain, she could not get Tatsuya away from his father. Since that was so, she dedicated her life to helping him.
Once he went to middle school, he was bullied for looking too pretty for a boy. They spouted lies at him and he believed them. He plunges deeper into the void of misery. His self-esteem lowered as he was told useless, a waste of space by society. Of course, Arisa found out and beat the crap out of them to the point they never bothered Tatsuya again. At that point, he envied Arisa's confidence and started comparing himself to her.
Four main points in Tatsuya's life that could contribute to the reason for his death or suicide.
• Physical Abuse/Verbal Abuse
• Bullying: Being kicked in the face
• Self Depreciation/Low Self esteem
• Traumatic Experiences: Rape, etc
But those were not the reasons for his death, it was because Tatsuya was too curious. He wanted to find out why his father hated him so much. So, he sought out to find an answer. From his only family member that was kind, his grandmother. He found out the dark truth of his birth or his existence.
Tatsuya's mother was raped by someone who was paid by his father to do so. Being confined, she had no choice but to give birth to a baby. And that baby was Tatsuya. His whole existence was just meant to be a tool for his father's success! Incidentally, Tatsuya's father only married Tatsuya's mother because her family run a big business. He wanted to be the president! And so he was compensated due to the incident.
Once he was born, he was going to throw him away but decided to keep him and play with him like a pet. He killed his wife, to make sure that Tatsuya won't be persuaded to run away. Tatsuya thought to himself why such a filthy person like himself existed? His existence has bring nothing but misfortune. That was the last straw for him to take a leap and kill himself. So, he hanged himself on Arisa's birthday. So sad. 😭
AKIRA SENSEI
I can't believe I thought all of this. (〒﹏〒) I guess Harada Sensei is at fault.
Izanami
Tada! That's the whole story~ Well part of it anyway—
Izanami
Surprising, isn't it?
Tatsuya
I still don't remember...
Izanami
Why would you want to remember such horrible memories?
Izanami
Anyway, let's make a deal, Arisa. ✨
Arisa
Why would you make a deal with you? 💢
Izanami
Would you rather let everybody die and reincarnate or live in an endless time loop where death is basically nothing?
Arisa
Isn't it obvious? I rather pick death!
Izanami
If you destroyed the realms, you'll be able to free the poor souls trapped in that world.
Izanami
Do we have a deal?
Arisa
Tch, fine. Deal. Also....How did I die?
Izanami
The answer to your questions will be for another day~ I suggest you get going ɴᴏᴡ.
Arisa grabs Tatsuya by the wrist and walks him to the exit. The wall before now had two doors engraved in the wall. As Arisa was about to open the doors, Izanami chuckled.
Izanami
Ah, I forgot. The only way you can die...Is to be killed in someone's abyss.
Before the two could react, Izanami used two guns to shoot through their head. They fell miserably to the floor with blood gushed out. But within a couple of seconds, they slowly dissipated. As Izanami puts the guns away, she senses a person behind her. She turns around to see someone that she didn't want to see. A handsome young male with peachy pink coloured hair and greedy ruby eyes. He sat on the end of the table with his left leg on his right leg, smiling innocently.
Izanami
What are you doing here?
He gets of the table and comes closer to Izanami, touching her chin.
The Goddess of Death, Izanami and the God of Life, Isanagi were a couple who played many games together. A new game has been added to their registry. A game that will change the fate of the world. If Isanagi wins, the world will stay the same. Relapsing the same memory every day for eternity. If Izanami wins, everyone will die. But they will be reborn into someone new. If Izanami loses, she cannot interfere with the world.
Top of The World
_____________________
A beautiful white-haired woman sits on isolated top of the entire world. Her face was covered with white linen clothing and her laced dress extended beyond her legs.
What was she doing there, all alone? It was not her choice to be up there, if she had a choice she would certainly not be lonely. It would be among her two best friends. For what purpose is she up there? Nothing changes in the place she sits, nothing happens there. Drinking a cup of everlasting tea, each day to pass the boredom. The same pages of the same fantasy novel flip over each and every day.
The items were all on a small round white antique table. There was also a medium sized bell that was the colour of cheap gold.
A butterfly somehow manages to reach the untouched place. She hums a lullaby, a melody called Lacie. Her sweet voice resonating in loneliness. As the butterfly lands on top of her finger, she smiles in delight...
???
I hope you won't repeat the same mistake I did.
