DEATH.. AND ME

Chapter 1 (Don't Wanna)

Later on that same day, on the table of the morgue, Rean's mutilated body had finally ended to be cleaned by the employee of that place. It would be passed to his family later, who would then proceed with the funeral. The employe sighed after seeing this early thirties man dead body. He had read the report and knew that he died to save a boy he didn't even know.

"Life is such a bitch, don't you think, my friend?"

The employee then put his tools down and left the room. His part was finished, so he had to take care of other things.

The room was quiet, all one could hear was the sounds at other places in the distance where the employees of the morgue were working.

But it was at that moment that suddenly, a Gate appeared out of nowhere right beside Rean's body! From inside, a figure holding a Scythe came out. The guy's body was covered in faint black energy while he was using a black robe. Not to mention that the robe had a hood that also covered his head.

He then looked at Rean for a second and ignored him. Instead, he looked at his attire and sighed.

"Why the hell humans picture Death like this? Even my weapon became a Scythe for no reason. I really can't understand why humans think about me with this appearance."

Weapon took this weird shape, his Scythe had the power to turn a Soul back to its purest form. Simply put, Rean would turn into pure Soul Energy and nothing more. Death could then grab it and throw inside the Path of Reincarnation. A new soul would then be formed from the Soul Energy and be reincarnated into a new body, just like it has always been.

But to his surprise... Rean's Soul rolled to the side, dodging the Scythe by a hair! Right after, Rean used all the strength he had to kick Death away!

Death didn't expect that at all! It was not like Death was weak or anything. It was just that such a situation had never happened before, so he was unprepared. Death fell on the ground after that kick and could only see the ceiling above. For a few seconds, Death didn't move at all. What happened just now was so inconceivable that Death had a hard time believing it!

In its countless years of life (or maybe Death), Death had never been kicked before. To be more specific, Death had never suffered any kind of attack ever since it came into existence. Obviously, that action made it enraged! He is Death! Created by God himself to guide all the Souls into Reincarnation. A vital existence in this world! Even between the other celestial existences, Death was one of the most important ones!

But just as Death got up and was about to teach that Soul a lesson...

"Where is he?!"

Rean's Soul was nowhere to be seen... Yes, Rean has fled!

Rean sighed in relief when he confirmed that he could really cross through walls in that form of his.

"Who the hell would stay put waiting for a creepy guy to cut you in half? Go to hell! No, wait! If he is Death, then he came from hell to start with. Errr... whatever, go to Heavens then!"

Rean still thought that it didn't sound quite right, either. However, it was not time to ponder whether he is properly cursing Death or not. He had to flee!

Nevertheless, that was useless. In the next second, a gate appeared right in front of Rean's Soul and Death came out from it. Rean tried to turn around and run once more, but Death was already prepared for it. The black energy precisely wrapped around Rean's waist before being pulled back.

"Hmph! Making me waste my time. Usually, I would go around collecting a few Souls before sending them all into the Path of Reincarnation at once. But since you are this eager to be first, I will fulfill your wish."

Before Rean could even reply that comment, another Gate, this time bigger, opened right in front of him. As soon as the Gate opened, Rean's Soul felt like he was being pulled by an enormous pressure! The more he struggled, the higher the attractive force seemed to be.

Death saw that and snorted. Once the Gate to the Path of Reincarnation is opened, any soul that stopped to be part of the living world would be dragged inside. It was impossible to escape! He didn't even need to transform Rean's Soul into Soul Energy, the Path would do that automatically.

Death then turned around and opened another Gate. He still had several Souls to pull out of their dead bodies today, so he wouldn't stay here just to watch Rean's Soul falling inside. After all, he had seen this scene countless times already.

A new gate appeared in front of him, and Death Stepped forward.

But it was at this moment that Death noticed something strange.

"Weird... How come I'm walking forward, but the Gate is getting further away?"

Of course, such a train of thought only lasted for a second. That is because Death suddenly fell with his face on the ground. He then looked back and saw Rean holding one of his lower legs. Immediately, Death's expression changed paled! Well, it was already pale to start with.

"LET GO!"

Death must be dreaming if he thinks that Rean would do as he asked.

"THEN CLOSE THAT GATE!"

Death then started to struggle and kick Rean's head with his other leg. But Rean seemed just like a maggot. It didn't matter how much he kicked, Rean kept holding him tightly!

"I can't close it until the dead soul has passed through, so let go!

Rean immediately answered.

"I Don't wanna die!"

Death felt like crying.

"You are already dead, idiot! Just go and pass away peacefully!"

Rean couldn't help but snort.

"Then come with me, and let's peacefully pass away together. Hahaha!"

"Don't drag me down with you!"

"It was you who put me in this situation to start with!"

"I'm only doing my job!"

"And what does that have to do with me?!"

Between screams, struggles, kicks, and curses, Rean and Death were sent into the Path of Reincarnation... together...
