《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 1: First Day
Advertisement
Today I start my life as a henchman. You might be wondering why I chose to work under a villain. The reason is simple, it pays. The money I am able to make is far more than anything I could make through normal means. I have no particular talents and I don't come from an influential family, so it’s either this or flipping burgers.
A fellow newcomer asks "Why am I #23 and and the others numbers don’t follow any sequential order at all?"
"Because you are all replacing dead members and taking their numbers" replied senior henchman #7.
So yeah, we just received a real morale boost there.
I am with five others as we finished our orientation for our boss, the Puzzle Master. He is a supervillain without any remarkable achievements, nor is he a promising talent, just an ordinary villain. His specialty is puzzles, he is smart but his plans are very convoluted and the mortality rate of his henchmen are high, mainly because of the death traps he makes them build.
Worst of all, we wear a white one-piece tight suit that covers our entire bodies with black question mark symbols all over the suit and we wear a mask to boot. It’s one thing to work us to death but to also humiliate us by wearing this crap? It’s just down right insulting.
After the orientation is done, we are assigned numbers instead of names, of which I am #63. My role is to loot and fight with the hero that comes to stop us but when I’m not partaking in a request by the guild I am working with the trap creating group. Currently we are building a box that traps the person inside it and when it activates it starts the timer of a bomb. The only way to get out is by saying the correct word. The question is what is god's name and the answer is Judgment.

Curious I asked the head designer “What is the theme that the puzzle master uses?”
“The main thing is that he uses references to Judgment” replied senior henchman #3
“Does he get off on controlling the fate of others or something?”
“Probably, he is a major control freak. You better keep a low profile because he will use people as lab rats and will outright kill those that survive if he is in a bad mood.”
“Wouldn’t that get him in trouble with the FOA?”
“He is, word is if he fails his next mission he could be up for termination. So right now he is in a perpetually bad mood.”
Damnit, why does my life suck so hard.

A Fate Set in Stone (On Hold)
After dying and making his way into the afterlife, our protagonist happens to have a stroke of good luck. With the help of the substitute god of death, he's given a second shot at life in a world run by gods who probably played too many video games as kids. Monsters, magic, dungeons, bandits, and all that good stuff is there, except it turns out to be much different than Jed initially expected.(I picked some generic tags since this is my first story and I am not 100% sure where it is going to go. Mature warning is only there for some less-than-polite language.)
