Karma, comes in loops. And at one time that loop will never end at the afterlife.

"You think I give a flying f&ck if you had a daughter? Give me your money, or all of you will be meeting each other in the next world!"

Our story focuses on a man named Nick. Nick is a criminal, ever since his parents died due to him killing them when he was in middle school.

The reason? Nick wanted to buy some smokes and alcohol, but his parents refused to lend him the money, leading to their deaths.

Nick lived alone in a shack on the outskirts of the city he once lived at. Currently, he is robbing a family in a suburban neighborhood.

The matriarch of the family shakily led him to a safe, which makes Nick smirk before saying "Open it".

He had a 5 year old girl on gunpoint, right in front of her mother, who frantically tries to open the safe. After 12 seconds, Nick shouted.

"What took you so long!? It's your goddamn safe, and you take forever to open it!?"

"Please... It's almost open, don't do anything!"

"It's too bad, my patience is running out." Nick pulls the trigger.

The bullet went straight through the back of the little girl's skull, and came out of her forehead.

"LIN! NOOO!!!!"

The mother was met with a punch to her face.

"I don't remember telling you to scream. Open it."

"You animal..."

The safe is opened after a little while, and Nick shoved the mother away before pulling the trigger of his handgun, right at her head.

"You'll die anyway. Now, to hit the jackpot..."

He ransacked the safe, before hearing sirens. He quickly left after making sure the safe is empty.

He drove his car to the outskirts of the city, until his car stopped due to a traffic jam.

"Why did you do it?" A voice asked, making Nick shook in surprise.

"Who the hell are you?" Nick adjusted the rearview mirror, to see a black haired girl wearing a black kimono, sitting behind him.

"I ask you again. Why did you do it? That girl, her family?"

"I needed their money, what else?"

"Did they do anything to you, before you did it?"

"Who gives a crap? They're gonna die anyways! Just like everyone else in this goddamn world!"

"I see. You lack remorse, after picking off someone's life... And yet, that she is still so young."

"Why do I care? Who the hell are you to tell me what to do!?"

"I am a messenger of death. I have seen all your actions, and you refused redemption. This is your final chance, do you wish to repent, or shall you perish?"

Nick had enough, and pulled out his gun, before looking behind him...

But she vanished, there's nothing there but thin air. He then sees the car behind him, where the driver is honking the horns loudly.

Nick realized that the traffic is back to normal, and he speeded off.

He reached the shack where he lived in after one hour. Upon opening the door...

"Your time is up, Nicholas Smith."

That girl is in front of him, holding a bunch of praying beads.

"What are you doing in here? It's my house."

"Like I said, your time is up." Her eyes glowed red, and Nick felt as if he fell into an abyss.

When he realized what had happened, he looked to see the actions that he did in the past.

He robbed from many people, and killed them after the acts. Ranging from the young orphans, the elderly, religious people, and even the incapacitated.

All of their lives were cut short, by Nick.

"Why am I seeing these...?!"

"I want you to hear the screams and pleas of the people whose lives you have cut short."

Nick can hear the cries, screams and pleas from the dozens of victims piercing his ears.

He proceeded to kneel down, and covering his ears, but the voices didn't stop. They were burnt deep inside his mind, and is unable to be forgotten.

"I..."

"Now, because you refused redemption, you shall face your punishment."

When Nick looked back up, he felt his arms being spread by themselves, and his legs felt as if they were nailed to a board.

It took him a moment to realize that he is crucified, and in front of him is that girl, holding a katana.

However that girl split into many, as if they were clones.

"I shall see, how much your spirit can stand being punished like this, Nicholas Smith. Face your punishment for eternity."

The girl, and her clones then struck Nick all over his body using their swords. Nick screamed, as his eyes then widened, and looked as if they were going to be popped from their sockets. However he didn't die, instead he felt eternal pain.

-------------

A week later, police were finally able to trace where Nick lived, only to see his rotten corpse lying right in front of the doorway. His eyes were wide open, as if he faced a great fear, before death.

Autopsy reports say that he was brain dead, after experiencing an intense amount of fear and pain.
