《Doll of Death》Prologue
Advertisement
I don't have a name, ever since I can remember I have been raised and worked for this underground assassin organization. By the age of 6, I was being sent on missions, killing whomever the client wanted, if they could pay for it that is. In a few days, it will mark 5 years since I have started taking missions. In these 5 years, I have gained a reputation, I have a 100% success rate, I was given a title for it "Doll of Death".
Why "doll"? Well, it is because I apparently have an emotionless doll-like face. With my reputation, you would think I have a high standing here. I do not. The reason for it is not surprising, although this is an organization the clients directly contact the assassin and not those above, and every target I was hired to kill was one of the top clients of the organization, which has given me infamy for costing everyone else clients. Why do I not reject the assignments? It is a very simple reason, I like killing, I take any chance I get to accept missions. Not for work or duty, it is for pure enjoyment.
What am I currently doing? Well, I am eavesdropping on some higher-ups. Is it crazy? Of course. I don't care though. Now time to listen.
(Higher-Up A) "That Doll of Death is costing us too many clients every year! This year we have lost another 158."
(Higher-Up B) "You think we can't tell! That's why we are getting rid of her."
(Boss) "Did you plant the poison?"
(Higher-Up B) "Of course. I saw her drink it this morning. It will kill her on her 5th anniversary. There is no antidote, I guarantee it will work.
(Higher-Up A) "Wonderful!"
(Boss) "Now we wait, nobody will mourn her loss."

(All 3) *laughs*
Well then, it looks like they finally decided to have me killed. Since this will be the end might as well go out with a bang. First time to taste more blood.
(Higher-Up A) Geh! You were eavesdropping. Well, you are dead anyway we will just speed up the process."
All three pulled out guns. I pulled out a combat knife and a kodachi. I never liked guns, they were always too loud for me. Time to show them why I have a 100% success rate. I have superhuman reflexes and kinetic vision. All three started firing, I started deflecting and dodging the bullets coming towards me at absurd speeds. Then I reached the first higher up and cut off his head.
(Higher-Up A) "Gaaa-" *collapses*
(Higher-Up B) "Shit! Sound the alarm! Gaaahhh!" *collapses*
(Boss) *presses alarm* * turns on mic* "Attention everyone, the Doll of Death is on a rampage! Kill her! Do i-... Gaaahhhh!" *collapses*
Looks like everyone will be after me. Well since I have gone this far let me just kill my way to the bottom floor where the reactor is and blow this place up.
I start running to where the reactor is.
(Random Grunt) "Crap! The Doll of Death everyone stop her!" *starts shooting*
These stupid grunts. I cut down everyone in my way and continue down.
(Another Random Grunt) "She's headed to the reactor! *turns on intercom* Everyone evacuate the Doll is headed to the reactor she plans to blow this place and everyone here with her! Gaaahhh!" *mic cuts off* *collapses*
Well, good thing I grabbed the lock-down switch from the boss' room. *click* Now everyone is trapped.
After another couple minutes of killing grunts, I reached the reactor, at least there is already a self destruct switch. *click*
(Computer) "SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE ACTIVATED. DESTRUCTION IN 60 SECONDS. 59. 58..."
Well then time to sit here, this life was not great. *sigh* Hopefully whatever happens after death, I can continue bringing things to death. That was fun. Goodbye Earth.
(Computer) "3. 2. 1."
BOOM!
*silence*

As the Godking Wills
The Empire and the Church span almost the entirety of the known world, absent some pockets of lawlessness and the realms of the deceiver. They are governed as a despotic theocracy, ruled in name by the solitary and omnipotent God, Al'Shazan.In practice, Al'Shazan is bored, flighty, cruel and has little interest in ruling the Empire. Instead the Empire is run by the High Priest, Minister of the Treasury, and the Knight Commander of the inquisition. Their job is to make sense of the contradictory nonsense spewed forth by their living God while simultaneously ruling the greatest nation that the world has ever known. The entire time, they have to maintian the facade that Al'Shazan is a benevolent and loving God in order to maintain morale in the general populace. --------- The actual genre for this is more along the lines of a Fantasy Political Comedy/Drama/Thriller. It will not be 'crunchy' (minimal action, minimal descriptions of powers/abilities) but instead be focusing on world building and political maneuvering. As a warning, it is fairly dark.

Note: This is my first work of fiction, and as such, there will almost certainly be issues with pacing, grammar, the writing as a whole, and the story as a whole.

He catches me staring and I end up gazing speechlessly into his blue eyes for a moment. I clear my throat, blinking. "Your... The fire. I'm just not used to seeing that, still," I say.
