ATM One Year Anniversary

I cannot believe it...it has been one whole year since I began writing this story as my first ever fanfic. Like...damn. I never thought I would ever reach this far and build an audience of readers who are interested in this random idea I had days after my 19th birthday. Now here I am, no longer a teenager and having faced ups and downs in the past year.

Balancing my university studies and pumping out long chapters is no joke I tell you. Though for all it's worth, I do not regret writing at all. Else I wouldn't have made some great friends and met awesome people online. Remember, none of this would be possible without you. Don't look behind, you know I mean you. Thank you for being here, for being alive today. That is more than enough for me.

But let's stop the overflowing dam of feelings for now and leave off on a good note with a special chapter. Now, let's go into this scenario: An alternate timeline where Kokushibou and [Name] get trapped in a blizzard.  Enjoy. 🫰

ʏᴇᴀʀ: 1918

ʟᴏᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴ: Russia

Mɪꜱꜱɪᴏɴ: Find shelter urgently

Kokushibou was a proud demon. He had strength, power, dominance and was allied with one of the most powerful humans he had met in his life. Having autonomy over his actions instead of listening to what his former master wanted of him. Fighting in a global war and killing so many corrupt soldiers in different countries. Surely, his ego grew like a plant getting watered.

However, too much water can drown and suffocate a plant to wilt and die.

The demon had wanted to go to yet another country before settling down in Japan. Unlike the time they went to France, [Name] was weakened from the onset of her monthly periods. However, he argued that she should learn to overcome that weakness of hers, which highly offended her.

"My periods are a symbol of my humanity. You wouldn't understand." She had argued. Still, he did not back down. Words were said, some harsher than others. Eventually, he got what he wanted.

They walked on the empty land in the frozen tundra of a Russian province, snow crunching under the soles of their shoes. [Name] was not talking to him, her expression full of annoyance, exasperation and pain from her cramps. She refused to let him see that weak side of her, opting to use a long stick for support.

She had used a large amount of energy to even take them to Russia, having to open a couple of portals since her range had been severely limited. By the time they arrived, they were very far from the nearest town where [Name] thought would make Kokushibou's happy and also provide her with rest.

The demon did feel some form of guilt, but he had no idea how to bring up the topic. He also noticed how she had forgotten to bring Cover with her in the heat of the moment. All she had was a kimono and the trousers he first saw her in the night they met, which did little to shield her from the cold. Erimaki was wrapped around his neck to keep him warm and snug from the biting ice cold. The best thing he could do was walk silently beside her and hope the town was close.

Then as if the earth decided to dampen the mood even more, the duo get caught in a blizzard.

"Fucking hell..." The curse leaving her lips voiced both of their feelings, but for different reasons. While [Name] suffered more from the cold, Kokushibou was getting quite dizzy.
