The Only Answer Is DEATH!

The Only Answer Is DEATH!

by Shyzuli_Lolz

HorrorPsychologicalSchool LifeSlice of LifeStrategy

In the sprawling, neon-lit labyrinth of Tokyo, Yasakchiru Mahitaro's life has always been a quiet torment. At 37, trapped in the grueling grind of a supermarket known for overwork and ruthless management, his days are filled with exhaustion, ridicule, and the unshakable shadow of a childhood tragedy. Framed for a fellow student's death, ostracized, and scarred by a world that never forgave him, Mahitaro has spent decades wandering through life like a ghost, surviving but never living. One night, pushed beyond the edge of despair, he ends his life-but death is not the end. Awakening in his own past, he is given a second chance, though it comes tangled with the memories of every failure, every loss, and every death he endured. Trapped in endless loops of time, Mahitaro faces a cruel reality: no matter what he does, fate has a way of repeating itself, and the faces of those he loves-and those who torment him-return with relentless precision. Through the haze of depression and the sting of grief, Mahitaro begins to fight back. With each reset, he searches for patterns, allies, and answers, uncovering the dark figure that has haunted his loops: a mysterious red-haired student whose cruelty and cunning seem limitless. Alongside him is Barisu Vultari, a brilliant but enigmatic peer whose knowledge of time theory may be Mahitaro's only hope of breaking free. The Only Answer Is DEATH! ( 唯一の答えは死だ!) is an emotional, harrowing journey through despair, rage, and resilience. Every reset brings heartbreak, every choice carries the weight of countless lives, and every loop forces Mahitaro to confront the darkest truths about humanity-and himself. This is a story of horror, heartbreak, and the fragile sparks of hope that survive even in the most relentless cycles of time. [NOTE FROM AUTHOR: "The Only Answer Is DEATH!" is entirely fictional and contains strong themes of suicide, depression, grief, murder, violence, trauma, and death. Suicide may occur, but it is not the focus or the path to Mahitaro's happy ending. Most deaths come from murder, violence, circumstance, or fate. The story does not glorify suicide or death, but explores despair, consequences, resilience, and hope. Please take care of yourself, stay safe, and remember that your life matters. Thank you for reading, and please stay well. 🌟]
