There was no sound. No warmth. Nothing.

Just... void.

Ah...

So I’m dead.

The moment that thought crossed my mind,

I realized I felt—strangely—relieved.

It’s over.

No more pain.

No more suffering.

But then—

> “I am your guide. Come with me.”

A man appeared out of nowhere.

Expressionless.

Long black robes. Hair trailing far past his back.

His eyes alone held an impossibly deep darkness.

Guided by him, I walked.

We arrived at a place called... The Chamber of Judgment.

And there—

stood a being beyond imagination.

---

> “I am Enma, King of Hell.”

A giant towering like a mountain.

His face resembled that of a man,

but his blood-red eyes glowed,

and his tongue extended disturbingly far, nearly brushing his knees.

He stood at the boundary between god and demon.

> “I judge the sins and virtues of the living and decide their destination in death.”

His deep voice shook the entire space.

Then—

a massive scale appeared before me.

On one side: Virtue.

On the other: Sin.

Moments from my life began to project onto each side, one after another.

---

◉ Virtuous Acts:

As a child, I stayed with a lost girl crying outside a supermarket and held her hand until her mother came. → +800 pts

On a rainy day, I gave my umbrella to a classmate and walked home soaking wet. → +500 pts

Every morning, I helped elderly people cross the street at the station. → +1000 pts

During cleaning time, I noticed a classmate working alone and silently brought another mop to help. → +300 pts

I could never walk past someone in trouble without stopping to help. → +2000 pts

...and more.

Total: +18,230 points

---

Enma narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

> “...Hmm. A soul of commendable virtue.”

I felt...

a bit saved, somehow.

I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone.

I didn’t want revenge.

I just... wanted to end it.

Peacefully.

Maybe now... I’d finally go to heaven.

> “However…”

His tone grew cold.

> “You... took your own life.”

The moment those words fell, the entire space changed.

> “No matter how noble your deeds,

to abandon life is the gravest of sins.”

---

THUD!!

A massive black orb slammed onto the “Sin” side of the scale.

The impact thundered through the air.

The scale tipped violently.

> “Suicide: −100,000,000 points.”

> “Therefore… your destination is Hell.”

---

“...!”

I couldn’t believe it.

My body was being dragged backward, against my will.

Darkness crept up from the floor, pulling me toward the abyss.

> “W–Wait…!”

A whisper of a voice escaped my throat.

> “This… this isn’t right…!”

> “I tried… I really tried to live…!”

> “No… I don’t want this… I don’t…!”

> “Even in death… can’t I at least find a little peace…?”

---

But my voice didn’t reach anyone.

Because this was the absolute law of this world.

And thus—

I was cast into Hell.

---

This is just the beginning of the story.

Hell in life.

Hell in death.

And yet, a journey to seek salvation begins—now.
