Karmic Debt

They say life isn't fair.

Plenty of rich criminals pass away peacefully at an old age without getting their just desserts.

Oh, sorry. Forgot to introduce myself!

Former atheist, professional contract killer Gary Black here, and I just want to warn you, it's not true!

Well, maybe the part about life being unfair is true, but the criminals don't get away with squat. Whatever they don't pay while they're alive, they're forced to pay after they die!

I'm not crazy! Just listen to me. God exists!

Hey, don't roll your eyes at me! You think I want him to exist?

The damn scumbag is worse than any loan shark you'll ever meet, forcing me to pay back a lifetime's worth of karmic debt!

His Goddamn "benevolence" was giving me the option to pay it alive in another world or dead in his literal hell. Like, that's much of a choice...

How is a dishonest man supposed to make a living without being dishonest?! And what's this timer ticking down in the corner of my eye?

Maybe Hell would've been better...

P.S. This novel will be deleted once its first chapter and a couple more chapters have been completed. I am posting it here just to confirm its published existence under my name :). Feel free to read it at your own risk.

Also, his thoughts are in italics, but Webnovel's too lame to update their writing section for Originals with italics, so good luck figuring out when the MC is thinking and when he is describing the scene. :P
