I know there's a lot of pain in the past few chapters. :D But for the pain sick readers! This chapter will not have pain in it!! Enjoy!

I don't know the exact time I "woke up" I just, am here. I don't know how to explain it, I guess the mysteries of death will always be shrouded in shadows....

I smiled sadly, 'I guess I got used to this...' Looking around I was in a dark cavern, there was rock above, below and around me. The cavern would be extremely dark if there weren't any lights, but there were. Small balls of light are floating around above everyone, giving out a glow within a few meters.

I could see lines and lines of people, people that I know don't exist in Earth. There were elves that I see in movies and read in books with long ears and graceful movements, there are demons with their curved dark colored horns and wings that range from gray to pure black. Apparently the blacker the wings are the more noble blood you have? Anyways, there are Orcs with massive bodies and their scary faces. There are humans, identical to the people of Earth, except that they wore amour, iron, leather and bronze. They all carried swords, short swords, daggers and long swords; some carried two swords.

'Perhaps they are dual wielders? Wow, never saw one before...." Fascinated I stared at their swords, all the sword men handled their swords expertly, with no hesitation to touch it.

I smiled, 'They're very different from people from Earth; they are warriors. They seen blood shed; they have killed before. I run my eyes to other people.

Between there and here, there were Angels. They all had massive wings the size of their own height, and angelic faces, all beautiful in their own right. There are serious ones, with swords beside them, gentle ones, wearing robes, they're are also some that look like children, but they are few in the collection of few Angels.

I also noticed something. 'It looks like the more wings they have the more power you have.' I noticed this by how the other species steered clear of the 6 winged Angels, clearly nervous.

I turned toward my line, I could see hundreds of people in front of me, I couldn't see what we are waiting for. Inpatient I signed out a breath, "How much longer will this take?"

Time passed, there were no events that had happened that had caught my attention, except maybe one. It had happened a hour or 2 ago. A human, dressed in golden clothes, had tried to escape. He had bright blue hair, something I have never seen in my life at Earth; that was how he had caught my attention.

When he was caught after a few seconds he had shouted, outraged, "Unhand me! I am the crowned prince of the Shinqu Empire!" He was arrogant, and was smirking, thinking the guard would let go of him if he told him who he was. That smirk vanished when the guard, a type of beastman answered back coldly, this had probably happened many times before in his career.

"Rank in your old world have nothing to do with me." Then, the guard had dragged him, who was screaming insults, into a unknown room. In the room screams had started immediatatly, but ended in 10 minutes. The silence was thick in the air of the cavern.

That was the last I ever saw him.

Now, the line has moved by a lot. I could see what everyone was waiting hours for. A single desk, old and made of heavy wood, stood in front of the thousand member line. A cloaked person sat on a chair behind the desk. I could not tell the age or gender of the person; the person was covered entirely from head to toe. This person spoke quietly, and is always writing on a stack of papers.

When my turn came, I quickly sat in the chair that is in front of the mysterious person. Then person nodded, and then spoke, "Alexander Quin, was male, died at age 16 by the High God Gragrath." The voice was cold, and sounded young, but older than Alexander's 16 years, the person also sounded male.

"High God?!" I was surprised, 'A God killed me?'

"Apparently, it was by accident." He sighed, "So, for an apology you can be reincarnated into a different world than what you are originally from, with your memories intact of course."

"By accident?! What about my family?!" I stood up roughly, "Were they killed by him, by accident?!" I yelled, this High God can't just kill off people, even if he was a god!

"Yes."

The bluntness of how the cloaked figure said it made Alexander calmed down considerably, I sat down heavily.

"So where do I reincarnated into?" I asked, tired, 'My family was also killed by him.....'

The figure looked down on his papers, they lied neatly in front of him. "The High God of Death, Hantantos have picked it out for you. You're going to Thantos, it's one of the main worlds of the galaxies."

Curiously I asked, "Can you tell me anything about the world I am going to?"

He looked down at his papers again. "The world is less technology advanced as yours, but it has magic. It will seem to be in the Medival Age to you. This world is also not dominated by only humans. There are many species, there are Angels, Demons, Elves, Orcs, Dwarves, Humans, Fairies, Beastmen, Dragons, and Draconians. These are the ones that have intelligence anyways." He looked back up at me, "If you want to know about the affairs of the kingdoms..... Well I can tell you about it, if you want."

I nodded, wanting to know everything about the world I am going into.

The person continued, "There is 1 continent that everyone is on, the continent of Wen, and it hasn't even been explored completely yet. I can't tell you how many continents there are, but be aware that there is more than 1, and that this world is almost 10 times bigger than yours."

My eyes widen, '10 times bigger than Earth? That means I can see so much more interesting things!' I smiled excited to what is to come, for a second, forgetting about my family.

"Anyways, there are 5 kingdoms, 2 Queendoms and 2 Empires. The 5 kingdoms are Serdeamon, Liae, Finley, Killua and Jante. Serdeamon and Killua are demon countries, Liae is a beastman country and then Finley and Jante are human countries. The two Queendoms, Ayo and Xiame, are both human countries. Both are isolated in the far north of the continent. The Empire of Canton, is the most powerful of the rest of the countries. It is made up of 4 countries that had united. There are 4 main houses, or families, that take turns ruling the empire. Currently, the empire is in war with Ayo and Xiame, who are allies. Canton's wealthy nobles are raised to treat lower class like dirt. And slave trade is legal in Canton, which contributes to the empire's immersive wealth. Ayo and Xiame illegalized slave trade, and all citizens are equal. The two countries aren't as wealthy as Canton because of their isolation. Liae is also in war with Jante, Jante also deal with slaves, and since it is close with Liae, they deal in beast people slaves. They say Beastmen are lower beings, that humans are more superior. That caused a massive war. So the north and the the center of the continent is in war, and the southern part as well. The Demons, which are located in the west, don't have anything to do with it. The war and them are separated by a mountain range after all." He told me the affairs, but one particular empire was missing.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"What about the second empire?"

"Well, it's the Aero empire. The empire of Aero are located in the far east, they are high on top of mountains. Only dragons, Angels, demons and draconians can go into the empire. Humans can, but only if they have the power to do so. Elves, fairies and Orcs live in the empire's territory too; they live on the bases of the mountains. The Aero empire is the most powerful empire by far, but they don't interfere into the doings of mortals." He said, "Now that I have explained everything, let's get on with your life, what do want to be?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"You have the choice to be a Human, Elf, Fairy, Beastman, Draconian or Orc. Angels, Dragons and Demons don't allow reincarnation."

"I see, then human please." I choosed human because of it is familiar to me.

"Male right?"

I nodded, "It's not like I want to be female...."

He ignored that statement and continued. "Since you are a good soul, not a saint, but good, you can choose a few things, like looks, family and magic ability. That sort of thing. Better things cost more karma though.... You have 29,000 by the way, 18-20,000 is an average person's amount."

"Uhhhh..... Magic?"

"Average ability cost 3000 karma, only 1/10,000 people get average abilities in magic. Good abilities cost 6000 karma, only around 1/100,000 people have that much power. Great abilities, which almost only noble families's children have. They cost 10,000 karma, only 1/500,000 people have that much ability. Powerful abilities which only appear every 50 years cost 20,000 karma. Lets say the rarity of it is around 1/1,000,000. God like abilities cost 90,000 karma, only a saint can get that much karma in a lifetime.  The rarity if 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000."

"I'll take great abilities, it'll cost 10,000 karma right?"

"Yes, now on to family...." He scribbled hurrily and spoke again, "It is simple really, commoners cost 1000, low nobles are 4000, high nobles are 7000 and royalty is 9000. Low nobles are barons, counts and earls, high nobles also earls, but with more influence and money, marquises, and dukes."

"Commoners I guess?" 'Doesn't really matter...'

He wrote even faster, and then said, "Hunters, merchants, farmers, blacksmiths, Warriors, mages, doctors or servants?"

"I want to be in a farmer's family." I smiled thinking, 'I never been on a farm before, wouldn't that be fun?'

"Okay, okay..... Anything else? Let me see.... I recommend to improve your appearance; it makes everything easier, and a stronger body of course is pretty nice. You have 18,000 karma left. Average looks cost 500, an above average face is 800, a great one is 1000 and an amazing, extremely beautiful one is 2000."

'I have 18,000 karma left, might as well get the most expensive one, it only cost 2000 anyways.' Alexander doesn't care about looks, he just choose it because of a passing interest and amusement.

"The 2000 karma one."

"Next is a strong body.... Average is 600, good is 900, great is 1500 and amazing is 2000, growth for strength and speed is included in this."

"The 2000 one." He started to get impatient,

"Now, it is time for random things! Name what you want and I'll tell you!"

"Can I have talent in swordsmanship?"

"Swords? Okay....." With some rustling he said, "Average, good or amazing?"

"Amazing."

"That'll cost 8,000 karma!"

"I'll take it." I wondered what I should take? Then an idea hit me, ambidexiterity! I want to dual wield, it'll be nice to experience it. "How much will being ambidextrous cost?"

The figure's voice grew curious, but he force himself not to ask, it is part of the job. "1000 karma."

"Can I also have good luck?"

He was surprised, "Luck? Well, average, good, or amazing?"

"Amazing."

"It'll cost the remaining of your karma,"

"Can I have it?"

"Yes! Now that this is done, let me tell you something. Even if you got great magic ability or great swordsmanship, it doesn't mean you get it instantly. It means you have that much talent. So you still have to work hard. Now, let us move on to the next thing, to be blunt you're special, Lord Death took an interest in you. So please go on to the next room toward my back." He stood up suddenly and turned around, bringing a stack of papers he had been writing on for the past hour.

With his long black cloak swishing, I stood up and followed him. The people behind me went into an uproar.

"What the hell?!"

"I have been waiting for hours!!"

"Who is that?"

He ignored the comments and continued walking. When we reached a tall , metal door he turned to me. "Lord Death is behind this door, be RESPECTFUL." With a emphasis on the word respectful, he left, going back to his job and duty.

I looked at the 10 feet door in front of me. 'How imtimadating...' And with that thought, I entered.

Inside, everything was dark. I couldn't see anything, I squinted my eyes and try to get used to to dark. I walked crouched trying to walk in. Even though outside on the cavern was pretty dark, it was lit with blobs of light. It was nothing compared with this. And then; laughter was heard.

"Hahaha!" A tall pale skinned man stepped into my view. He wore all black, black plated armor and everything, he even has long black hair, which is tied on his shoulder, his black eyes crinkled in laughter. "Haaa..... Haven't laughed like that for centuries... Not since Liy-" his eyes sadden but then the expression disappeared. He pursed his lips; coldly he said, "I want you to humiliate someone for me."

I raised a brow, "A god wants me to...."

His face grew dangerously cold, "Some moronic deity is telling people that he is the real true death God. Frankly, I was angry, but I stopped myself from senting an undead horde to kill him, it'll cost too much innocent deaths anyways.... Besides, since Thantos is a world that is mainly created by me, Lord of death, I thought people can tell a fake from the real one. But some are actually starting to believe him!" His face turned into a mask of barely contained fury. His lips twitched, "So, I need you to kill the fake." He stared at me seriously.

I was speechless, 'The dude is a DEATH God.......' I began,"..........Can't you just kill him yourself?"

He looks at me like I was stupid, "I am a High God, I can't just walk onto a mortal world; it can't contain my power..... Do you want me to destroy a couple of planets?" He sighed, "You won't have enough power at first to kill a minor God, but it'll happen faster if I will give you my blessing."

Then Hantantos muttered under his breathe, I couldn't catch all of it but I heard the words, "Stupid, First," and "Champion."

He then abruptly smiled, "Well good luck with that! Remember kill the faker!!" He snapped his fingers and I suddenly started to fall into a black hole. It was underneath me and I look at it in horror.

"What?!? The hell?! Waaiit!!!!!" I glared at Hantantos, "The Death God" was currently laughing like a person gone insane.

And I returned to the darkness that I always seem to come back to, screaming.
