Prologue: Job Offer

So I guess all those nature documentaries were right. Hippos are extremely aggressive and will kill if you get too close to them. Huh who would have thought, I mean it just looked so calm and playful in the water but damn they move fast. All I wanted to do was pet his head and feed him some fruit, maybe that's what the fence was for. Another neat fact I discovered as I bleed out from the stumps that were my legs, there is a white light at the end of the tunnel.

This is nice, it's so warm and cozy I could stay like this for the rest of my life, wait I died already well the rest of my afterlife. *Plop* huh where am I now, what happened to the warm white light. “Ahh Mr. Nevens, allow me to be the first to welcome you to the Infinite Void, domain of the Aether and Nether Gods, once you get situated I would like to extend a job offer from my master.” Okay this is weird one second I’m floating through nothing next second I'm in some sort of expensive looking office being offered a job by a terrifyingly cute teddy bear in a suit. “What the hell is going on!” “Hahahahha” the teddy bear chuckled. “No you aren’t in Hell, as I said you are in the Infinite Void and we would like to offer you a job.”

“First allow me to clear up any misunderstandings Mr. Nevens we pulled you out of there”, the teddy bear pointed to a massive swirling pillar of white light in the center of well everything, “that is the Well of Souls, the waiting point of all dead souls before they are sent to the appropriate afterlife or Hell for the worst offenders.”

That is really unnerving, wait did it just confirm that Hell is a real place. “Yes Mr. Nevens Hell is real if you don’t believe me look down”, why did I look down, below me was fire plain and simple as far as I can see.

"Aaaahhh" the pitiful soul screamed before me. How did I end up in this situation offering jobs to the newly dead. I used to be one of the Dread Fiend's most feared plushie warriors, now look at me fail one mission and get a few million killed and now I'm being punished with soul service for the next 400 years, oh he stopped screaming now.

“Are you done now Mr.Nevens'' the teddy bear said in a bored tone, I tried to reply yes after my slight and completely justified reaction to being told I’m literally floating above Hell. “Good then as I said my master would like to extend a job offer on behalf of himself and the other Nether Gods, would you like to accept it”. I got the impression from the teddies tone that no would not be an acceptable answer, so I agreed. “Excellent choice Mr.Nevens, off you go and remember have fun and good luck little dungeon you're gonna need it where we’re sending you” Wait what did he mean by, *WHOOOSH*.
