"Is death really just nothing?" (Silver Azrael lorepost)
Silver Azrael is 17 years old and is from Finland. He once was just a normal survivor trying to survive his dark world filled with a diverse amount of monsters coming from a strange beam that hit from the sky a few years ago. He once knew how to defend himself, he once knew how to use a gun, and he had a moral compass that is to protect anyone in danger of being killed. That was until one night.
He had seen someone running away from what were called as "The Gazer" while he was searching for ammo for a handgun of his. They were called that because, with simple eye contact, it would leave the target immobilized and not be able to move, somehow it's stare makes someone turn around to look at him involuntarily and the victim will have to fight it off to live. The Gazer could kill someone in 15 seconds with eye contact. Silver quickly ran to help him and the victim of the monster got pushed by it, leaving him laying on the ground. he tried covering his eyes with his hands but The Gazer forcefully pulled his hands away from his eyes, he tried closing his eyes but something forced him to open his eyes and he struck eye contact with The Gazer for 1/2 of a second until Silver covered her eyes with the scarf he uses, and stabbed the monster in one of his limbs without looking. But he was not quick enough to react to the force trying to make him turn around, and he made eye contact with the monster. And he saw... Nothing, absolute darkness and void.
He thought he was dead. He couldn't feel anything, he could not hear anything or smell anything. It felt like he was there for decades, centuries, millennia, probably eternity. he was very scared by the fact that he didn't know this was the "afterlife" he theorized it to be. He thought about heaven, or reincarnation, but this made him feel the most dread he has ever had in his whole life.
But then, a soldier patrolling the city looking for survivors to send them to a safehouse shot The Gazer behind him multiple times and it died. Silver was out of that monster's attack, which was actually just 12 seconds in real time. And that left him traumatized for life, and his mental health became really bad. but the victim he saved recovered 2 weeks later. Silver was now fully convinced this was the afterlife he and every person on earth will face soon, he tried convincing himself it wasn't that but the sheer dread made it impossible to do. He was so traumatized he forgot to use a gun properly, he lost his experience in self defense. And he completely abandoned his moral compass.
Now, when someone was being chased by a monster, he would not help. And now he only runs away from monsters instead of using self-defense, because he feared that he would experience what happened that night, and this time he wouldn't come back. But with his mental health being destroyed, he got very good luck in return. As he could escape in most situations where death was thought to be inevitable for him.
