"It's over," Nathan explains, "none of this is canon. The fail-safe failed."

"I won't let it end like this," I reply, "what can we do?"

"Gen still has an interest in you, Death, and Antihero. Kill everyone else, and I'm sure something will happen," Nathan replies.

"Fine," I reply, "you handle Edgar."

"Already done," Nathan explains, "Edgar has been captured. Just destroy this world, and we'll save as many as we can."

"Then it shall be done," I reply. Nathan, narrator of The Story on the Board returns to his world. I am Reaper, the Author Slayer. Now, I'm in a dieing non canon timeline. The only solution is to lessen the number of characters so that a few can survive and become canon.

I call Death. "Death," I explain, "you've heard, right?"

"Yeah," he replies, "on my way with Antihero's soul. Funny, never thought he'd actively seek the story huh?"

"Yeah," I reply, "just bring his soul."

I sit down. This is how it ends? I'm forced to kill everyone, everything? Just so a few can survive? I mean, they're all dead either way but...

Death knocks on the door. He hands me Antihero's soul erasing blade. "And now," he sighs, "here's my soul." Death snaps his own neck. I take both the souls, grab the blade, sigh, and begin my journey...
