Life from birth has been nothing but hell. I lost my parents to some stupid aristocrats whom they offended. Executed for no good reason.

My relatives abandoned me and pushed me aside. They feared for their lives and left me and my sister to starve and wander the streets alone!

No, this is worse than hell!

I watched my sister die of starvation. Her lips were dry and her feet bloody. Her nails were broken and her fingers riddled with cuts. She struggled in my hands and after a few seconds of struggle she passed away. She seemed joyful in death so I prayed mine will come just as swift and merciful as hers.

So I stayed in the alleyway, alone with her rotten corpse awaiting my fate for God knows how long. I could see it already. The darkness encroaching from all sides

Everyone said death is scary but I say it's the end! Who needs life after death? What is the need for reincarnation?

Who would want to return to this crazy world?

"It's not yet time for you to go... You have one more task to accomplish as my host" A voice called out to me.

I could barely see or speak but how can I miss such a beautiful face? It was an extremely handsome man who gazed at me with tender eyes.

"Haven't I suffered enough? Can't I just rest?" I cried out. Why would I want to stay back in such a cruel world?

"Don't you want to avenge the death of your parents? Don't you want to become something greater? I can make that happen!" The beautiful man said with an alluring voice.

"You... Who are you?" I asked with an anxious heart.

My parents always said God is the only one who cares about me! Maybe in my final hours, he has come to save me.

"Call me Death..."

Paragon of Death

Derek's words made Lu Jin jerk back instinctively. He wanted to refute Derek's words, but he knew Derek was right. Nothing right now was more important than Sol's survival. Without him alive, there is no way they can take the empire. Even if they managed to do it by force, the people would never accept them, which may just force them to pray to the old gods.

"Don't worry. Before I became this, I was powerful in my own right." Sol said with a calm smile.

He then turned his attention to Derek and nodded. In response, Derek raised his palm, which began to shiver as a fierce yet ominous aura escaped his palms. Souls began swirling around them as cries and pleas of the dead resounded across the room as Derek struck forward, smashing the palm into Sol's chest.

Strangely there was no cut or tear on Sol's skin, instead, Derek's palm phased into his chest and instead of gripping Sol's heart, he took hold of his soul.
