"The final year of high school is the most difficult."

This statement has never been truer for Damis, a student attending one of the many schools in the City of Sundridge.

He never wanted anything more than to live a peaceful life, going so far as to avoid having large group of friends, indulging in dragged out conversations, or being involved in any other activity that requires him to invest a large amount of effort to accomplish.

Instead, he poured all of his efforts into studying, dwelling in his internal monologues, and complaining about the things that annoy him to his one and only friend, Noah.

Before long, he ended up as one of the best students in his class.

As far as he was concerned, he was content with how he lived.

But, after a confrontation with an eccentric girl named May, one of his classmates since the first year of high school, things have suddenly gotten out of hand.

And as a result, his life became a lot more hectic than it used to be.

Bound by a deal he could not refuse, his life as May's assistant began.

At this rate, can he still spend the final days of his high school life in peace?

Welcome to the life of Damis, the boy who's alwaysA Step Behind Death.

I plan on making this novel into a webtoon once it becomes the best it can be.

English isn't my first language, so expect some grammar bumps along the way.
