Below is my summary
Title is The Figurine

This narrates the story of two friends who finds a mystical sculpture in an abandoned shrine in the forest while serving at a [National Youth Service Corps] camp, and they both decides to take the artwork home. Unknown to them, the sculpture is from the goddess ‘Araromire’ which bestows seven years of good luck on anyone who encounters it, and after the seven years have expired, seven years of bad luck follow. The lives of the two friends begin to change for good, as they become successful and wealthy businessmen. However, after seven years, things start to change for the worse

I hope you enjoy it.

Summary: sakura P.O.V… I closed my eyes and put a large piece of broken glass on the neck of my female friend. I pressed it to make sure she was dead, some parts of her body were still twitching like a dying fish on the ground. I could hardly look at her while I was doing it. I was in a dark room. And the only light there is the window that has thick iron bars.
