Kyuusekai no Majo

Set in the desolate aftermath of a global apocalypse brought about by the catastrophic entity known as the Devil Moon, this one-shot narrative explores a shattered world where magic and survival are inextricably linked. Amidst the ruins of civilization, the story follows a half-mage who has carved out a grim existence for himself by serving as an executioner tasked with hunting down and eliminating other magic users. Bound to his lethal profession in a broken era, he navigates the remnants of humanity while enforcing a ruthless mandate against those who wield the very power he partially possesses. His solitary and violent routine is abruptly disrupted when a young girl, who is herself a mage, suddenly materializes before him. Her unexpected arrival presents a profound dilemma for the executioner, forcing him to confront the purpose of his bloody trade in a world that has already been destroyed. As their paths collide, the dynamic between the hunter and his sudden, uninvited guest sets the stage for a tense encounter, challenging the hardened half-mage to reconcile his duty with the startling presence of this mysterious girl in the ruins of their devastated reality.
