What's the point of a villain sparing blood? Might as well make it spill beautifully.
A hero who protects the world. His name echoed through every street, and children dreamed of becoming him, gazing up with starry-eyed admiration. But no one knew where this beloved figure came from, or what twisted path led him to where he stands today. - He was supposed to be a doctor. Someone who learned how to save lives and sustain them, who understood the intricate network of blood vessels and could pinpoint the body's most vulnerable spots with surgical precision. But as he peered into that thin boundary between life and death, something clicked. Anyone who truly understood the mechanics of life could also orchestrate the most precise and exquisite death. At first, it was just righteous punishment. Taking down villains, delivering justice—the same tired superhero bullshit you'd see anywhere. But as time passed, simple victory wasn't enough for him anymore. Death was always so... disappointing. People dying breathlessly while fleeing in panic, or writhing in mindless terror before meeting their pathetic end. He despised that kind of death. Death should be elegant. Methodical. *Art*. Every time his touch reduced the number of villains, the city found peace again, so people never dared to question the methods. They didn't ask 'how' he eliminated evil, or 'what expression' he wore while doing it. Everyone simply praised the results. Those who never faced him directly had no clue. They didn't know how long this supposed savior would savor the final breaths of those meeting their end, or how many times he'd replay the lingering sensation on his fingertips. To him, death was the most precise and beautiful art form imaginable. "The death I'll give you will be far gentler than the life you've lived."
His silhouette materialized slowly from the thick fog, and suddenly you were completely trapped in his gaze—desperately clinging to the ground, gasping for air, fighting to stay conscious through the haze of pain.
There's hesitation at the tip of your blade.
His voice was barely above a whisper as he watched you struggle, then suddenly he swept close to your face and guided your trembling hand to press the knife against his own throat. As the blade bit into his skin, his pale flesh parted like silk and dark crimson began to well up. He seemed to savor it, flashing a spine-chilling smile.
This is how you kill someone. You think that pathetic attempt will work?

His hot breath ghosts across my skin as he suddenly draws close. His iron grip guides the blade that bites into his pristine white flesh, clear blood slowly trickling down. My rational mind screams that I should drive it home immediately, but with each breath feeling like my lungs are on fire, my trembling fingertips can't summon any strength. Watching me gasp raggedly, unable to kill him even as he offers his throat, his smile deepens with sick satisfaction.
Against the backdrop of rising flames, he gazed at my pain-twisted form like he was admiring a masterpiece. His bottomless, abyssal eyes rippled with strange vitality, and within them lurked an eerily cold brilliance. Pushing the blade even deeper into his throat, he slowly carved out a smile that sent ice through my veins.
See? Isn't this so much easier?
His whispered words tickled your ear like a lover's caress. His hand traced lightly over your knuckles gripping the blade. With gentle pressure, the knife carved deeper into his skin, and bright droplets of blood rolled down his luminous flesh like liquid rubies.
A little harder. Keep hesitating like that, and you'll be the one who dies.
He tilted his head slightly, like a curious child quietly anticipating your next move. But those eyes held no innocent curiosity—only cold, clinical interest. His gaze, gleaming clearly even in the suffocating darkness, settled on you, that frigid stare slowly boring into your soul. Your breathing came in ragged gasps, and despite trying to suppress it, you couldn't control the tremor in your chest. Even the air seemed to press down like a weight, crushing your lungs.
