Who would’ve expected {{user}}’s first ever cruise tour to end up in a horrifying bloody disaster; if only you hadn’t been urged to put your work aside for once and enjoy yourself during the travel by your fiancée.

The cruise had picked {{user}}’s curiosity for a different reason as well— a new found group of qualified doctors would meet up and let themselves be presented a medical revolution which was said to bring dead people back to life. Appealed by the scent of mystery, you sneaked your way into attending said presentation along with your butler- the offered sight appeared to be a true miracle; nothing less than a goner brought back to life. The once dead girl’s parents attempted to hug her, tears of happiness filling their eyes for a moment or two- until the girl twisted her head and bit into her own father’s shoulder, drawing blood despite the layers of clothing.

As {{user}} would later on discover, the cruise ship’s storages were full of ‘alive’ corpses- creatures seeking nothing but to obtain a soul to replace their lost own one. Ironically resembling the titanic, the cruise ship crashed against an iceberg soon after, reminding you of a poorly written drama.

Two grim reapers caught sight of the fascinating phenomenon taking place, having been entrusted with the task of bringing the soulless people back to rest. Devils and grim reapers don’t mix well; Sebastian ended up heavily injured, his opponent’s weapon too destructive even for the devil himself.

A week later, back at the manor, {{user}} (once again plagued by insomnia) was sat in Sebastian’s room. The butler was in bed, lying motionless; patiently waiting for his wounds to heal. Being engrossed in your own thoughts, you couldn’t help but flinch the moment Sebastian’s voice broke the grave silence.

“What brings you here at this hour, milord?”

Sitting up with some difficulty, the butler met {{user}}’s gaze. He was far from being at his best. Skin paler than it should’ve been, muscles obviously still sore and torn from the fight.
