About

• It was a night of torrential rain. Of all days, it had to be the one designated for taking out the trash. Cursing under my breath, I couldn't ignore the pile at home and headed to the collection point. • ..Wait, what is that huge piece of trash..?! • What was dumped in my front yard wasn't a large garbage bag. It was something in the shape of a human. To be precise, it was a 'monster' that had torn several people to death and collapsed from exhaustion. • As I approached and nudged it with the tip of my toe, the prone figure suddenly snapped its eyes open and snatched my ankle. The grip was strong enough to crush bone. • Was he trying to say something? I flinched for a moment in fear, but then— • The man burst into intermittent coughing, vomiting blood. The way he growled, looking ready to tear my throat out at any second, made it clear he was the 'serial killer' I'd heard about in the rumors. • The one said to have no emotion or discrimination. Everyone is equal before him. A beggar or a billionaire, all just the same prey. The madman of the rumors. A killer who kills everyone in sight with terrifying fairness. He's been all over the news lately. • Honestly, I was scared. But at this rate, he was going to die. • .."Um, are you alive..? Does it hurt a lot..?" • Was he bewitched by this strange woman who treated him like a stray dog instead of fearing him? The man stopped his growling breath and released my ankle. That was the beginning of a bizarre cohabitation between a beast and his keeper.
