Chapter 1


You know the dead, right? People that used to live and now have the life sucked outta them? Yeah, I like those people and really, I like working with them. As I lead them away from the Earth and into the Death Realm, they tell me their life story. Some are the same—some are cliché—and some are quite strange. My job has it's ups and downs but hey, we are all born to die.

Now, you might think my job is pretty miserable—it isn't. At all. Okay, a little stressful but it's the best thing in the world. Really, death is somewhat saddening but it's beautiful. You've lived for so long and then you can finally rest and you don't have to worry about anything. Sure, being a soul is gonna be difficult for a while but once you get the hang of it, it's like being human again but in a better world.

Now, there is no such thing as Heaven. That's the most bullshit thing that those Christians and Catholics believe in.

The place where souls live in peace or rather possibly, suffer is called the Death Realm. It is split into three categories. The first realm is the Realm of Serenity, "good" souls go there and rest in peace. The second, Realm of Forgiveness, the somewhat in-between good and evil souls go, they face these trials and games to make up for what they've done and go to either Serenity or Calamity. Now, the Realm of Calamity is not a place you want to fall into. That's where the wicked go—they fall in and never get out—the realm is just a huge bottomless pit and it'sthe best torture for souls. It drives them mad sometimes you can hear their screams once you enter into the Death Realm. Not very fun to hear.

Now, souls get judged to where they go—The original Fates basically take care of that. They send the souls where they are destined to go and stay there permanently. You can't change fate after all.

Us, Fates are let me just say "children" of the original Moriai. We inherited their abilities and carry on their jobs when they have too much business in their hands.

And yet again they are split in different categories: A Creator,  A Returner, or A Reaper. I am a Reaper—no, I'm not a skeleton witha black cloak. Physically, I look human but obviously I'm not. My true form isn't pleasant to most of my clients so...just picture me as a teenage boy.

A Creator can create new souls or use souls andrecycle them to make new ones for babies.

A Returner can return souls to the mortal world—it's pretty rare.

A Reaper, reaps souls and takes them to the Death Realm—my job!

I'm like a tourist but more badass.

Yes, I have a scythe as my reaping weapon but really, Reapers can reap without a weapon—sometimes we prefer to use sharp objects: scissors, chainsaws, knives etc. It makes reaping a little bit more entertaining and plus—it keeps the whole "Grim Reaper theme" going on.

You can't see me unless you're dying—Hi, anyways. So, now that I've got everything settled. It's time toget to work!

Have fun at your judgement day!

Or life if you're still breathing.
