It is a short novel written by mistake. We apologize for any mistakes here.

Thank you very much...

P.S. This is the first story that I have composed. The use of words may be a little strange.

Love of Reaper [Short Novel]

In the lonely underworld

“Hey User, how was work?”

A gray angel of death asked the black god of death who had just returned from taking the soul of a human who had just taken his last breath.

“Such a stubborn spirit. So I had to use even more strength.”

“Hahaha, this is really human.”

The Gray Death laughed with delight as he looked at the hourglasses of human life that were arranged in layers on the shelf.

“Ah, it looks like that hourglass is about to run out soon…”

The Gray Grim Reaper pointed to a silver hourglass with a bright red gem on it.

“Looks like I have to go and wait to receive the soul again.”

“Well, I can't help it. See you soon."

The Gray Reaper disappeared, leaving the Black Reaper to do his work.

“Who is the owner of this hourglass? It has been a long time since I saw such a beautiful hourglass.”

The angel of death, Yuser, disappeared along with the hourglass.

In the human world

The place where the Black Reaper named Yuzer arrived was a boarding school, which at first glance looked more like a place of imprisonment. Yuser slowly walked into the school and picked up an hourglass to look at the owner of the watch as he would soon come to receive his soul.

"Hurry up or you'll get complained about again."

The voice of a young man muttering to his friend passed through the user's voice.

“Here it is......”

User, who had walked unconsciously, stopped in front of the school library and as if he had an omen because it looked like the hourglass he had brought was shoved in the library, causing User to walk right through it into the library.

Inside the library

Black Reaper Yuzer followed the direction the hourglass led until it finally ended. There was a hidden corner of the library and in that corner was a teenage girl sitting hugging him and reading a book.

“Ah!”

The girl exclaimed as she felt some energy near her.

“Who are you?”

The girl looked at User who was now standing some distance away from her.

“Can you see me?”

User asked and the woman nodded softly as she closed the book.

“It's really strange. I haven't revealed my true form yet, why are humans seeing me?”

“The person who receives the soul. I'm ready..."

The girl said while staring at the user.

“Aren't you...not afraid of dying?”

“No, my life right now is bad enough. It deserves to go now.”

The young woman had a serious, slightly sad expression on her face.

“What a strange human being. What is your name?”

“Quin, yes.”

"So? Now Quin, you still have 5 days left to live in the human world. When these 5 days are over, I will take your soul away."

Yuser said, staring into Quin's eyes.

“Yes, with pleasure.”

Quin smiled happily, which to User, it was strange that someone who was about to die smiled so happily.

“What about being the angel of death? Do you have a name?”

"Yes, my name is Yuser. I am the Black Angel of Death."

“Nice to meet you. The Angel of Death User"

Quin gave User a sweet smile and opened the book to continue reading.

As the evening wore on, Quin walked out of the library and headed back to her dorm with User following along.

In Quinn's room

Quin, who arrived back, fell exhausted onto the bed with the book she had borrowed from the library.

“Do you like to read books, Quin?”

User, who had been quiet the whole way, asked Quin.

“Yes, for me it is fun, even if it seems boring to others.”

As time passed, User and Quin talked about various stories, some of which Quin knew. And some of it was something that User knew. The conversation between the two seemed to open up some feelings for them as well until Quin finally fell asleep.

“It is very sad that a human like you should end his life. I am truly sorry.”

User muttered before the house disappeared.

The next morning

Quin's time to live still had 4 days left. Today, she woke up feeling refreshed, unlike other days for some unknown reason. When she woke up, the first thing she looked for was User.

“User, are you there?”

Quin called out to the user but there was no answer until he finally sat on the floor hugging his knees.

“What is it that you call me, Quin?”

The user who appeared in front of Quin asked curiously and a little worried.

“User!”

Quinlo hugged the angel of death Yuser with nostalgia. Until causing the user to be taken aback

“This is even me. You can feel it. This one is getting weird every time, Quin.”

"I thought I'd never see you again..."

"Hoy..."

User pats Quin's head in consolation.

“I'm here now.”

"I know. Thank you."

And talking and being together just the two of them happened every day until finally the last day of Quin's life arrived, which happened to be the same day as the school party.

Quin, who was wearing a simple white dress, was standing outside the venue enjoying the breeze because Quin himself doesn't like crowded places or crowds of people.

“Why don't you go into the fair? Looks like it's going to be fun.”

User said, glancing at Quin's life hourglass on his left wrist.

"No, no, I don't like places where there are a lot of people. Besides, no one wants to be a dance partner, so it's better not to attend."

“So?”

User thought for a while before deciding to do something. User's hand extended in front of Quin's face as if to convey something.

“What is it?”

“If no one asks you to dance, Then I will ask you.”

Quin looked at the hand for a moment before her gentle hand touched it, just in time with the music playing.

User and Quin's moonlight dance began. Quin showed off his graceful moves. until it makes users fascinated The pair seemed to fall into a trance of darkness and moonlight until Quin's time was finally up when the school clock tower chimed in warning that it was midnight.

"In the past, thank you very much. I have never been with anyone as happy as this....."

Quin's soft voice spoke to User.

“It's your time now. Quin...before I leave, I have something to give you.”

As soon as Yuser finished speaking, he lowered the hood covering his head, revealing a slender, well-shaped face with raven black hair and white eyes that stared at Quin, who was now wanting more. User's arms

"Is this you, User..."

"Yes, it's me...."

User didn't say anything, just pressed his lips to kiss the girl in front of him softly and gently.

“Whether in this world or the next, you are still The woman I will always love, Quin.”

"I love you too, User..."

Quin said her last words with a happy smile before she closed her eyes.

At the underworld

Yuser returned empty-handed without bringing Quin's soul with him.

“Which soul do you have to receive?”

Gray Grim Reaper asked User.

"do not have..."

“What does that mean?”

“Her soul is not like ordinary souls. I can't bring it back.

User was silent and didn't say anything until his friend had to speak first.

“Uh, I almost forgot. Lord Satan is looking for you because everyone has already gone to see you except you.”

Gray Grim Reaper finished speaking and the house disappeared.

At the palace of the lord of hell, Satan.

User walked in normally and went straight to meet Satan without any delay.

“Ah, you've come?”

“Yes, sir.”

“There's nothing much. I just want to introduce you to someone because there is only you left that I haven't gotten to know yet.”

"yes"

When User answered, a young woman walked out from behind the throne chair.

“Quin!”

User suddenly called out Quin's name.

“User!”

"Oh, so you know each other already?"

Satan was stunned.

“Father, he is my lover…”

Quin said as he ran his shield and hugged User.

“Is this the one my daughter told me about? It's a good fit."

Satan finished speaking and disappeared, leaving User and Quin together.

"I thought I'd never see you again...User."

“Like I said, whether in this world or the next, you will always be the woman I love.”

After speaking, User pressed his lips to kiss Quin in front of him longingly and missing him.

END.
