《Origin of death》Chapter 7: First Judgement
Advertisement
On a vast empty field of ashes stood Amirel. Deeply in thought with a raised eyebrow looking at an opened portal right before him.
After a few seconds, it starts closing and he hears a shout of a woman that entered said portal before.
"What is wrong with this world!?"
Right after this it closes leaving no evidence of its existence behind.
'What a weird woman.'
Upon thinking that amirel no longer concerns himself about this weak woman that intrudes upon his domain.
Only someone comparable to him could open a portal to this realm. It obviously wasn't Eli. That means that there is someone strong on the other side and if that being has any ill intentions it would without a doubt came here personally with reinforcements. By ordering Eli to come here this being is sending two messages.
One, it's a warning. It clearly shows that it is strong enough to have a good fight with him.
Second, It's not aggressive and just wants to talk.
This is what Amirel came up with.
Little did he know that this creature simply wanted to prank this angel and nothing more.
When he finishes his thought, Amirel returns to the main topic.
"So at this point, what can I do to get more energy?"
That is a question that concerns him the most. He needs more divine energy to do literally everything and not having any stable supply is concerning.
|hmm... You can judge souls.|
This answer gained his attention. He started thinking if there are more ways of gaining points.
"Any more options?"
|Many, but this is the most suitable at the moment|
Amirel felt relief. If his only way of gaining points was judging souls then his situation would be way more than tragic.

"Okay. Then how to do that?"
|Easy. You approach the soul, then you look at it using your power, which will allow you to 'see' information about who the person was, their character, important achievements and so on.|
Then Amirel thought about a soul he met before. He quickly found Mercas and went in his direction. While walking he had seen hundreds of souls floating around and thought that it's gonna be a long and boring task.
He approaches the soul which recognises him immediately.
"Welcome back oh great lord of death."
Amirel nods to him and says.
"I came to conduct your trial."
Mercas immediately starts shaking from fear.
"Oh, no. Have I done something wrong or broken any rules?"
He gets confused by this misunderstanding and calms the man down.
"What? Oh no, the point is that I will check what kind of person you were and decide what to do with you next."
Mercas sighs with relief and calms down.
"I understand. Then start, I'm ready."
Origin of death focuses his power on the soul and suddenly 'sees' a lot of information about a man before him.
Mercas was the best hunter in his tribe. He had a wife, three children and two siblings. He lived in temples but was by no means poor. He did some bad things in his life, for example. He killed another person in self-defence. His greatest achievement in life was saving the whole tribe from hunger when he set off on a dangerous expedition during a snowstorm during winter. To sum up, he did evil, immoral deeds, but he did not do them intentionally but out of need. Watching and analyzing his whole life took me about 10 hours.
'It too long'
|For now, it's enough|

After that, he gives this soul two choices.
"Mercas, it gives you two choices. You can be reincarnated and live again, or you can stay here and wait for your family. Remember that at any time you can come and say that you want to return to the living."
He gives it a thought and after a few minutes gives his answer.
"In this case, sir, I want to stay and wait for my loved ones."
Amirel smiled slightly and said.
"Very well then."
|Imposible!|
He got into a defensive position and stayed on alert due to the system 'shout'.
"What is impossible?"
System didn't answer for a few seconds which made him even more anxious.
|Y-You smiled!|
After hearing that he suddenly got an urge to punch someone, but unfortunately that person does not have a body.
He goes in the direction of the nearest soul and asks system about his progress.
"How many points did this give me?"
|5|
Amirel felt that something is wrong with him because its the sound time he never wanted to punch someone this many times in such a short span of time.
"I don't think it's worth doing it."
He said dejectedly. Hearing that system started explaining.
|The number of points depends on the quality of the soul you judge. Besides, remember that it was at least five points for each soul and in the future, there will be millions of them here.|
He understood what she meant and said.
"It's time-consuming, but we have plenty of it."
|Yep|
Death did not understand what she meant and questioned.
"What does it even mean?"
|You wouldn't get it|

Willful Body
A colossal mountain towers above the clouds. Howls and roars reverbate throughout the mountain. On the mountain peak, two men stand silently face each other. One wears a cloak and wields a revolver with mystical runes glowing on its barrel. The other is bare chested and holds a great sword as large as his giant figure. The man with the gun points it at the other man. "Cayden, as one of your friends. Please make this easy for me and turn yourself in." The large man's eyes waver for a second before they quickly recompose themselves. "Come on then. Try to take me," The large man rushes towards the man in the cloak swinging his great sword down as he approaches. The man in the cloak sighs, aims his gun, and fires.

**for Quravin** It's the summer of 2010, and Evan Barker's older brother Jason has just committed suicide. His devastated parents are reeling from the Recession, his friends are shiftless drunks, and his younger sister has been committed after discovering Jason's body. In an attempt to assuage the trauma his family has experienced and break away from his own shitty existence, Evan decides to grab his portion of the modern American Dream by trying out for that year's American Idol auditions in Nashville. Never mind that Evan's a 21-year-old virgin with a self-image as poor as his social skills. Never mind that he's never even attempted to sing before. In 21st century America, anything is possible, or so Evan's been told by a cultural upbringing of "Follow your dreams" and "Everyone is special" and "True love awaits". Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself. Together, Evan and Lily discover why learning how to fail may be their generation's greatest lesson. Cover art by Gerry Siorek
8 206A God's Champion
James was an Operator who had the misfortune to die in battle. Instead of his soul moving on to his just reward, it is intercepted, and James finds himself on a new mission. Asked to be the Champion for Ignatius, God of Embers, he finds himself in a different world, fighting impossible creatures and trying to survive. Their lives now depend on his completing the Challenge and ranking in the top 500. But the odds are stacked against him, and he was a better operator than a swordsman. Chapters released Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 Warning: After Chapter 11, the MC undergoes a significant change of class and race. This is due to a couple of factors. The first is that when the MC was created, James didn't know what he was doing, so he picked what he thought would work. The second reason is that he had access to more information to game the system a little. The premise is like when you buy a new video game and decide to play it without RTFM. After creating a great character and making it to the end of the first act, you realize that, although your character may be kewl, it is gimped and will not survive until the end of the game. Going back to the start, you create a new character with the knowledge you gained from playing the game and perhaps, peeking at the manual.
