Summary
Of all the things one might expect the suffering of purgatory to be, “predictable” isn’t at the front of any sane being’s mind. An afterlife of repetition where one wrathful entity is tasked with hunting down eight unlucky victims: predictable? Bury the thought in a shallow grave.
Unfortunately, having a visual manifestation of one's own history can feel like the walls are closing in, and a cornered animal will make any unexpected moves it can. What does one do when they've seemingly run Out Of things they haven't already tried?
Or, 1x1x1x1 ends up in the Survivors' settlement for reasons unknown! Affectionate chaos ensues...

Summary
You don't remember how you got here, but more concerningly, You do not remember who you are.
There's no time to think about all that, though- You've been sent down to someplace called the 'Hadal Blacksite' in search of Z-2, and when you find it you have to bring it back to the people who sent you here.
You fail, and you die.
Then... You wake up.
You return to the Blacksite- and you die again.
And again, and again.

--------An AU in which the only person aware of their multiple deaths is the expendable themself.
This story is very plot-driven, and a very slow burn. The prologue chapter can be safely skipped in its entirety; it is the only chapter written that way. Feel free to jump straight to chapter 2 if you dont like the way it's written. You can always come back later if you feel you need to. (The only thing you may miss out on is some context for the very first chapters.)
Happy Browsing!
