Life is filled with the unexpected.... more>>

Today is another normal day in life, as I passed the time with my friends to bully the cursed superd child feared in the village to show our might to her.

A water ball suddenly hit us.

The kid from the knight's office was unleashing his spell to attack us, the bully.

Never would I expect that simple water ball to create a trigger for memories to fill my brain.

I was 5 at that time, and the memories were jumbled. I don't know whether it’s mine or another's. I just know that this is not a memory of a single person.

And, from that memory, I know that I’m actually a mob...

I’m one of Sylphiette’s bullies.

You won’t know me since I am not named in any of the works, whether they were manga, novels, or even anime. Heck, I only say one word and I'm dead in the next part.

an actual mob, where I don’t even appear in either the opening or the ending of the anime.

The thing happened so suddenly.

I don’t know whether I am reincarnated, transmigrated, or just receiving some memories from someone in the real world.

The deadline is 5 years from now, the day the Metastasis incident happened. Can I be another prodigy in the Mushoku Tensei world, or will I still be another slightly better mob?

"You do so enjoy employing hostage takeovers, Neil. It's about time you're on the receiving end don't you think?"... more>>

My father said those words to me while Bree was pinning me down on the floor. She wore nothing but her underwear and an oversized hoodie, that only covered up to her slender snow-white thighs.

I asked him what he meant exactly, but he only chuckled through the cell phone and said,

"Well, I guess from today onwards you're going to be taken hostage by an angel."

With that, the phone call, as well as my normal life, came to an abrupt end...

The story of Neil Dameson starts out as if it were any other regular day. He woke up, ate breakfast, took a limousine to school, and fired a couple of incompetent employees. It was the usual life of an everyday teenage millionaire. Then out of thin air, an angel named Bree appeared before him and gave him the powers of an angel. He then could see people's life spans and took on the mantle of being a "Death Watcher." With his newfound powers, he had to use them to save humanity from the threat of the "Overshadows." The Overshadows" were evil dark angels who lived eternally by stealing the life span of humans and threw the world into chaos. The weight of his duties only heightens when he finds out that he dies if he fails to save even a single human life. Forced into a situation, where Neil has to become the reluctant hero everyone wants him to be, and with his life at the mercy of the angels, he truly was a hostage.

"Kill or be Killed"

Life was going well for the rich, intelligent and athletic girl Pacific Hanasaki. But she suddenly decided to commit suicide because of her "logical" reasoning, “What’s the point of living if you already have what you want?” Yet she didn’t die at all, because Judgment Day has arrived: where God decides who goes to Heaven.

He decided that he wants to bring every human to Heaven. There is an exception though, the Sinners: living people who attempted suicide. There is only one way for a Sinner to go to heaven: kill everyone and be the last one alive.

In a world where no one is born and everyone will die, the Sinners are tasked to purge the Earth with the help of a companion, Angels, each with different powers. Pacific was given the Angel of Secrets, Raziel. Can Pacific successfully kill everyone and remain alive while other Sinners do the same and hunt each other down? How can she even kill other sinners?
