(Sigh) Death Manipulation Mechanics

Death Manipulation should work as long as the target is considered to be alive: sending your soul to the afterlife or ripping it off or destroying your conciousness/mind are just different ways to make someone stop being considered alive.

"Characters in the verse has no soul nor afterlife, and possesses no conciousness/mind", then simply the characters from said verse aren't considered alive and have no life (or what is considered to be alive in general concept).

This seems to imply that if the death isn't shown/explained to occur via a specific mechanism, it should be automatically considered to be a conceptual attack which in this context would be assuming the high end/NLF. If all the characters in a verse have normal human physiology, an attack vaguely described as instantly killing the opponent could potentially only interact with them in ways like knocking them unconscious and making their organs fail. It could also work by draining them of their life force or by changing the laws of the universe such that the opponent would never be able to be considered alive again... but in any case, how do you know? Given no additional information, IMO it shouldn't be assumed that vague death hax would work on, for example, enhanced humans who can regen from atoms or magical beings who can regen from smoke.
 
Like I said before, there's several types of DM, and instakill =/= DM, the Death Note wouldn't be able to kill someone as Deadpool, and Death (Final Destination) neither since it only manipulate causuality (unless manipulate someone capable to doing it so).

Profiles only write the power that the user have, explaination is encouraged but not necessary, they would be only necessary in a vsthread for the sake of debating. But to be short, not all DM can kill immortals (like via regen), is just that DM via causuality is uncommon and is easy to assume the other.
