Chapter 2: The Strongest Man
Nate contemplates what Westcut was saying, repeating the words “I must become the strongest.” As he thinks this Westcut changes from a funeral-style suit to a more traditional Butler style.
“How did you do that?” asked Nate.
"Well, it would seem I have my own inventory, which is not as good as yours. I can only hold 10 items as of now. You should really go through yours so you can get ready for your first mission." said Westcut.
As soon as Nate started thinking about his inventory again, it appeared with three items in it.
Inventory
One armor loot box.
One weapon loot box.
One-item loot box.
Nate tapped his finger on the armor loot box, and it appeared in his hand; a small wooden crate. He tapped the box, and it opened with a glowing purple light. Slowly, leather chest armor would rise from the box and disappear as if nothing happened. Nate had a set of black and brown Leather armor covering him from the neck down.

You have been given the armor of the dead, You hold authority over the undead and wont be considered an enemy.
Nate goes to find the closest mirror to give himself a look. ”Wow, I look pretty cool,” said Nate. He then looks back at the other loot boxes and decided to pick up the Item box “I want to save my weapon for last so I can have the most time with it, Nate thought.
Nate opened the box, and a hooded cloak appeared before him. It then wrapped itself around him and rested on his shoulders.
System message
The Cloak of the Dead Emperor gives off an aura of fear. This aura can make humans of a lower level submit to you.
Nate looks at his new cloak, a simple gray cloak with black lining That contained so much power. "Westcut, what do you think? Do I look too edgy?” asked Nate.
"No, sir, I think you look strong. You will make a great emperor of this planet,” answered Westcut.
“Hold on, emperor of the planet, does that mean Death gave me this cloak on purpose, the cloak of the dead emperor?” asked Nate.
“That could be why, but I don’t have all the answers to what Death wants from you or what his end goal is. I just know he wants you for a reason. I don’t know the reason, but I do know he let me come back from the land of the dead so that I may help you in this world and maybe help with other things in the future,” answered Westcut.

Nate took a bit to think about what Westcut had said and how he looked. Nate then brought out the weapon box, and when he opened it, a sword came out. It grew bigger, about the size of a short sword with a worn red guard, pommel, and black handle. The blade was so black it was like a black hole. I would get in trouble with the gods if I were to look at it for too long.

Death bringer: the sword made by Death himself out of a piece of his own scythe. This sword has the ability to bring permanent death to anyone killed by it; nothing can bring them back, not even Death himself.
Nate picks up the sword, and as soon as it’s in his hand, he could feel the power flowing through his body like an adrenaline rush, or like the best drugs he'd ever had.
"Oh, fuck Westcut, what is happening to me right now?”
"Well, sir, your new powers and items are working together. Your currently feeling the energy from this combination, You'll be fine for minute or two. While your body's Adjusting, we should talk about your future plans ”
“What plans are you talking about?” asked Nate.
"Well, sir, you have your first mission and you have a mission you don’t know about yet, but first, let’s talk about the monster killing mission. You have to kill 10 level 5 monsters, and you have the optional mission to kill 5 level 6 monsters, which is possible, but the problem is you have no training in a fighting style, so I am going to have to run you through it quickly,” explained Westcut.
Westcut then Materialized a sword behind his back. “Okay sir, mirror me.” Now after a couple hours of training, Nate Begun looking around Himself and realized he was still at his workplace.
"Westcut, can you help me with a few of the people here? Because if I am really the one Death has in charge of the dead, I need to do my job right.”
Nate would then begin to pick up the bodies and bring them outside, lay them out, and then bury them one by one.
"Westcut, is there a prayer that Death would like me to say for them?” asked Nate.
"No, as there are so many plants of different races that all say different prayers, it is up to you to make the decision on what to say since you are the first real chosen of death.”
"Ok, here it goes.”
Nate puts one hand out as if he were going to cast a spell on the bodies: “I am the death chosen, so it is I who led you to him. I, the reaper, give you to my Lord Death.” In that moment, Death himself made himself known: “I DEATH, AM CALLED TO BRING THE SOULS OF THE DEAD TO THE WORLD BEYOND.”
“Lord Death, I think we chose the right person here,” said Westcut.
"Ok sir, I think it's time we get on with ourselves, we have some monsters to kill."
"No Westcut, I have a different mission, I need to find my wife and family!"
