“Ugh. First day on the job and I have garbage duty.”
Death was in the Underplane. This location was Dauthodos’ domain. In it, departed souls and spirits are sent to perform in different places. They must complete several thousands of years of labor before having their soul cleansed and reincarnated.
It was Death’s job to filter these people and decide their sector.
“You look like a big tough guy, go do some heavy lifting down in Devil Land. Hmm? A smart looking fellow, head to the Tipsy Trail. Aaand…a doctor?”
“Uhh, no. I am Professor James Edward Crowe.”
“Says here you were judged guilty as a traitorous heathen.”
The frail man stared at the scary skeleton in a black robe before him with fear in his eyes. He had been waiting for what felt like eons.
“Yes…Yes I had created a new species of [Golem].”
“It didn’t happen to be the [Bloodstone Golem] did it?”
“Indeed!”
“Heh, off to the Boiler Room for you, Doctor Raven.”
“Uhh it’s AAAAUGH!!!”
“Whatever. I have too many people to go through to deal with just one person specifically.”
And so Death kept processing person after person, until an [Avian], an [Amphibious], and a [Beastkin] appeared. The [Avian] was of the [Parakeet] family, with a blue fauxhawk hairstyle. The [Amphibious] was a [Muddy Salamander] with an overall brown complexion with darker brown speckles covering his snout and arms. The [Beastkin] was a common [Wolf Man] with gray blue wolf ears and tail.
Before Death could say anything, the three burst out,
“Hello! I am Bill!” [Beastkin]
“I am Phil!” [Avian]
“And I’m Greg.” [Amphibious]
“Uhh, okay? It says here on my handy dandy Death Book that one of you died trying to kick a [Fire Ferret]. The other two died trying to avenge him. I take it that Greg here is the leader?”
“Hmm? Why would you say that? Bill is the leader. I just stick out.”
“Ooookay. Then are you the one who kicked the [Ferret]?”
“Nope.”
“Alright then. Go have fun in the Lava Pits.”
“””WAAAIT!!!”””
“Buh bye.”
After completing some more monotonous work, two [Beastkin] of the [Feline] family approached.
Again, before Death could begin, the two spoke out.
“Greetings, I am Derik.”
“And I, Erik.”
“We are brothers.”
“We are brothers.”
“Hah…Yes, where Derik here killed his brother then committed suicide. Did I get that right?”
“Ugh, well, yes but”
“Nope. Go clean the Gastric Gallows.”
And the two were gone.
“This job is boring. It’s a good thing I have Y©utube.”

In the Great North, a [Golem] walked on. He was poking the air in front of him, drawing strange attention from the other travelers.
“Dammit. Stop making me out to be so weird.”
It was a good thing Experiment 001 was checking the Mission List, otherwise he would have missed the Mission to help build a school.
“Wait, what? Oh, there is one! It seems that anyone can help make it. In fact, even if I were to complete it, someone else can do the Mission, too! Guess that works.”
If he knew Lance wanted his help, would he go assist the young man?
“Hmm…that’s a thought. The guy is so devious, it just might work. I guess I’ll head to Romultan City.”

On the outskirts of the Fiery Range, a little [Fire Ferret] was walking. She seemed to be headed in a specific direction along the way. Even though she was a monster, it was inevitable that she would meet company along the way.
They weren’t people, but other monsters. Before the [Ferret] was a pack of wild [Tree Wolves]. They were actually rather small, for monster wolves, but they could fly through the trees and leaves like water. Because of this advantage, even the [Fire Goddess] would become annoyed.
That day, the domain of the Fiery Range grew larger as an entire forest was found completely razed to the ground.

In the Jungle, a strange couple had formed. Not like a romantic couple, but many rumors did start up.
Because the [Tyrant] was in the Jungle fighting the soldiers, he eventually came across the [Pink Loli] on the run.
After meeting up, the forces they faced combined as their worries were now the same. The two worked together becoming the {Fallen King} and the {Mad Princess}. These two laid waste to any and all enemies in their path.
It was on one of these paths that the two were now fighting.
“So Timmy, how many have you killed?”
“Argh, I get angry every time I realize my name is stuck as Timpani. I’m not a Drag©nBall character!”
“Hehe, when we first met, you even looked like Tamb©urine! Aha! Gotcha!”
“AAUGH! Let me go, you bitch!”
At that moment, the soldier in Reina’s hands exploded as claws tore through his chest.
“If you’re going to kill them, do it fast. That way they shut up faster.”
“Hahaha! That’s my Timmy! Always helping me out!”
“Sure. Whatever. Let’s just finish this and go. I’m hungry.”
The lizard man had evolved once more. No longer a lizard, he had become an [Imoogi]. A fake [Dragon]. He had finally obtained his much desired [Breath] attack, and even figured out how to use his meteorite.
“Pssh, it was just used for expanding the rate at which growth happens. Putting it in my Mission List Inventory allowed me to use it at all times. Thanks to this, I was able to evolve earlier than normal.”
Good thing, too, since the Gods tried to pull out all the stops on stopping these two. Once word of Timpani’s awakening was spread, many of his followers swarmed to him, hoping to enact revenge on the Gods.
Of course, there more that stayed behind. These people were all led by the {Miracle Doctor} and Lance Faltian. A new Empire was born under their allegiance, the Great Northern Empire. They stayed to themselves, never getting involved with the Region Alliance or the Kingdom. The Emperor was decided by strength and military prowess.
Many new ideas began to pop up thanks to Lance, Doctor Dirt, and Timpani. The Gods were once again having to go to war.
“Wait, Doctor Dirt?! Come on! First was [Rock Man], and now Dr. Dirt?”
