At a train station, a boy was staggering while holding his chest and had a pained expression on his face, he was in a cold sweat and his breathing was irregular. The boy was having a heart attack and was using all his strength to keep himself upright.
That boy was Edward Elric who thought he would gain a new life in another world when he was given the option of being a traveller, but the universe or multi-universe was not such a kind place as to allow a sick boy like him to be healed overnight.
"I knew this would happen," The boy said bitterly, "the damn alligator only gave me the ability to travel the multi-universe and didn't cure me of my illness"
He knew he couldn't blame the alligator, after all, it was never said that the alligator would cure him, or give him some ability
All that was promised was that he would gain the ability to travel across the multi-universe and this bargain was complete, he was able to travel, and now he would die at this end of the world.
"Ha, ha, ha" He laughed at the situation, not because he thought it was funny but because he understood how the world worked, first he gave you hope, and then he gave you despair
the boy was calloused, so he didn't despair and continued to stagger through the station, he wasn't a powerful man, but he had the courage and sure as hell wouldn't wait to die sitting somewhere
He would at least see the sun of another world before he died.

"Damn" Edward Elric staggered clutching his chest with all his strength "this has no end"
He looked ahead, seeing the infinite corridor of what he thought was a train station, and saw no exits nearby. Ed tried to speed up his pace, so he could get out of that station
He felt his chest tighten more and more, soon his heart would stop, and he had to fulfill his desire to see the sun from another world
Of course, it could happen that it was nighttime, but Ed was hoping it was still daylight and if he hadn't, he would have been pleased to see the moon.
Ed continued walking until a smell that he knew well reached his nose, that rusty smell that he was used to as he spent most of his time in the hospital and turns and moves someone has been shot or bleeding profusely because of various factors.
Ed for some reason felt like he should follow the scent of blood, it was like something was saying in his soul that he had to do this.
Ed was a man who trusted his instincts and he was already dying, what more could happen to him? With that mentality, Ed staggered towards the smell of blood, and the further he went, the more the swell got stronger until he could already see the blood trails.
Without thinking twice, Ed followed the blood trail until he found himself in front of an escalator.
*ACHE*
"Damn it, just a little longer" Ed moaned as he felt the pain in his heart and squeezed his chest, "hold on just a little longer"
He took a deep breath and stepped forward onto the escalator, as he descended the pain in his chest only increased and his vision began to blur.
"No it won't" Ed growled at himself, "I have to take it"
He is a desperate movement bit his hand and flinched with the pain he felt, however, the action paid off, and his vision returned to normal
Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, he took a step forward and his eyes widened in panic, Ed saw a woman lying in a pool of blood
"Are you alright?" He ran in panic towards the woman, "don't worry, I'll call an ambulance--"
He pulled his cell phone out of his hospital gown pocket and tried to turn it on
*Ache*
"Argh" He yelled in pain as he pressed his hand to his chest, "I shouldn't have tried so hard"
"Save me"
All attention to the pain faded from Ed's mind when he heard the sweet voice in front of him, and then he looked at the woman lying in the pool of her blood
"It's ok, I'll call an ambulance, actually I'll call two," Ed said trying to reassure the girl
"The Drug has no signal" He cursed, throwing the cell away "I'll take you to the hospital myself"
He quickly grabbed the woman's hip and lifted her trying in a comical way trying to throw her over his shoulders
*Ache*
But, the world was not perfect, and his heart gave another signal making his chest hurt once more, and he fell to the ground along with the dismembered woman
As he tried to bear the pain, he saw the woman lying on the ground looking him in the eyes, and he noticed something, the woman's eyes were yellow... people usually don't have yellow eyes
On closer inspection, he saw other things in the woman, big blond hair, pointy ears, and sharp fangs, a woman with all these characteristics lying on the floor of a subway station
He had seen it somewhere before. She was a character from an anime he watched
That woman's name was Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade the cold-blooded, hot-blooded vampire who was one of if not the most powerful being in her universe
And here is Ed in front of such a monster that he always thought it was just fiction.
"Please...save me"
Ed came out of his stupor when he heard the woman's sweet voice, once again deep in his soul, he understood why he was there
Ed bit his lip nervously as he tried to think, he should sacrifice his life to save her, if he does maybe he will become a vampire and end up being cured of his disease
but on the other hand, the girl in front of him could just kill him and eat his corpse, as she did with one of the exorcists and kizumonogatari
However, I won't die anyway
Ed opened his eyes in surprise, why was he hesitating? He had nothing to lose and if she doesn't turn his patience, he'll die anyway, if his death at least as a result in saving another life, at least his life served for something
He swallowed hard and approached the woman in front of him and pulled her into a hug, lifting her until her breast was in his face.
He buried his face in the girl's chest and whispered, "you can have my blood"
"Can I?" The woman cried when she heard the words of the man in front of her
"of course you can" Ed chuckled and left his neck open for her to bite
Kiss-Blade bent her neck, bringing her mouth to his neck, and bit
Pain, it was very painful
He moaned as he felt her teeth piercing her neck and fell back holding her head
Gradually his consciousness began to slip away from his body and he smiled thinking that at least once in his life he did something he could be proud of, he saved a life and possibly changed the world
for better or worse, he marked the fact that he existed saving Kiss-Blade and that is indisputable
