Kazuki_Hayashi

Yami was an ordinary guy—until an unfortunate accident turned him into roadkill. Instead of the afterlife, he wakes up in a dark and mysterious void, greeted by a chilling voice: “You have inherited my will.”

Now, reincarnated in a world filled with dungeons and monsters, Yami has become the chosen successor of the God of Death, gaining terrifying death-related abilities. But there’s a catch—his powers can only awaken through killing. To grow stronger, he must dive into dungeons, slay monsters, and unlock the forgotten might of the Reaper himself.

Armed with a dark scythe and a sarcastic attitude, Yami embarks on a journey of dungeon-crawling, monster-slaying, and leveling up—while trying to avoid dying again. The path of a reaper isn’t easy, but hey, at least it comes with cool powers.

He breathed out, relaxing his shoulders. "Okay. Let's get out of here."

The door slowly creaked open, shoving strongly at his shoulder, with a low rumble to reveal a stairway up.

For the first time since waking in this place, Yami saw something other than shadows.

A tiny light glowed from upstairs.

His steps echoed as he ascended, the air altering—lighter, fresher. He had not realized how heavy and suffocating the dungeon was until then.

Blinding light struck his face, and he squinted. The scent of grass, trees, and fresh air flooded over him.

He stood in the entrance to a vast cavern, gazing down upon a thick green forest stretching out to the horizon.

A blue sky stretched above him, marked by white clouds.

Yami whistled slowly. "Okay… now this is an actual isekai."

Before he could stare at the landscape some more—

Yami scrunched his brow. "Huh? What's with the question marks?"

A dark portal appeared in front of him.

Before he could react, the portal dragged him in—
