Synopsis
Everything that she could remember was that she had dropped dead and fell face first at the grand staircase that she was descending.
Cause of death? unknown
She thought she would be going straight to the reincarnation pool at the heavens, but who would have thought that she had already used up her 10 lifetimes, and each life ended with her suddenly dying at the same age of 25. And each time, she would have no idea how she died.
Aggrieved, wronged and unwilling!
Who wouldn't be? On her quest to discover the reasons for her sudden deaths, she found herself at Afterlife's front desk, given a task by the crazy woman in bright yellow lipstick.
"If you manage to finish this certain task you will be given clues as to how and what caused your death" the woman said and went back to puckering her lips and putting on her lipstick.
Although she was annoyed, she silently left and embarked on a journey.
Risking her safety, picking up demons, angels, beasts and alike during her quest.
After finishing her quest, she went back to the crazy woman and found her putting on lipsticks, but this time she is using neon green. INSANE!
"Oh, it's the unfortunate soul" the woman uttered.
"I finished the tasks"
"Hmm, Welcome to the afterlife and congratulations for leveling up as a Prophet, now go back and look at the administrations office, pick up missions and level up, if you get lucky, you will become a Goddess."
WHAT?!
Where the hell are the clues? How did she die? Why?
"My clues? What the-"
"You will know once you have enough authority, level up first"
Afterlife is a scam! What peaceful life? They are just forcing her to take up missions, risk safety, battle monsters, and everytime she plans to run away from everything, a hot walking statue would forcefully bring her back, give her armor and things she would need for her mission.
This is slavery! All I ever wanted was to know why I died?!
Amidst her suffering, A scary and handsome war God dressed himself as a fox like cat and deliberately taunts her and seduces her.
"Afterlife is boring, amuse me"
"no"
"I'm bored, dance for me"
"no"
"hey there unfortunate soul, why don't you try to die, maybe there is and after-afterlife to afterlife" the man then gave her a toothy grin and when she was about to throw the map she is holding to him, he turned into a furry fox-cat and taunted her by flicking his fluffy and long tails to her face.
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST DISAPPEAR?!" irritated, she pulled her hair and grunted.
...
After thousands of years doing missions, leveling up, fighting monsters and stuff, she finally became a Goddess, excited as to finally, she could take a rest.
"Go to these worlds, do tasks, save planets, conquer tribes, build things etc. Do something, earn respect from the undead, and gather believers among the living."
"When will this end?" exhausted, she slumped on the table and felt the urge to cry.
"Move!" someone, please help me.

CHAPTER 1: WELCOME FELLOW UNDEADS
WARNING!
THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS LIGHT (SEXUAL, SUICIDAL, DANGEROUS, EXPLICIT) SCENES AND WORDS NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE BELOW 18 YEARS OLD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISKS!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
JUST BEWARE!
Classical music, people dancing and swaying their bodies with their partners in the middle of the ballroom, intimate and as if scared to let people not take notice of their warmth. Whilst people were enjoying themselves, a silhouette of a woman appeared at the edge of the grand staircase, slowly descending like a forest fairy with her wings flapping behind her with elegance and beauty.
Her eyes slowly passed through each person not missing any details, her eyes stopped when she saw a couple dancing like a pair of swans but they are just an ugly ducklings lost in the swan lake, atlast she could finally extract her revenge against those devil incarnates.
She gloated and grinned happily, but what came next took her by surprise.
Her body fell face first on the floor, and she seems to be dead.
WHAT THE FUCK!
NOOOOOOO!!!!
How?!
She could faintly hear the demonic couple's victorious and evil laugh ringing in her ear, mocking her.
How could fate do this to her! Just when she had them at the palm of her hand, ready to be stripped off from their facades. Her heart burned with an extreme clash of emotions. Before darkness engulfed her, literally, she saw a blurry face of a man who stared straight at her.
His eyes held sadness? Why?
...
It had been hours, or days maybe even weeks since she was sucked by the mysterious vacuum cleaner wannabe power, she was just chilling at the morgue as a wandering soul, spirit or maybe ghost? When she felt this pressure from nowhere and immediately sucked her, like literally.
She just found herself stuck inside this all white random space, alone, bored, alone, tired, alone, confused, and oh! Did she forget to tell that she was alone and bored?
"If someone is out there enjoying their ass off watching me suffer, can you please just tell me why I am abducted and left here?! Hello?! Fuck!" curses escaped her mouth as if they were too scared to stay even just for a second in there.
In the meantime, a translucent figure of a what seemed to be a person was sitting and chilling inside a control room, its feet resting on top of the table whilst its hand draped over its side while the other hand holding sheets of paper while occasionally glancing at numerous rooms holding creatures, like beast, spirits, humans etc.
The translucent figure shook as it listened to the colorful words spat by a woman who was flinging her hands in the air like a mad man.
"I fucking swear this grandpa will swoop your flat ass and spank you just once who ever put me in here, in this God forsaken place!" as if on reflexes the figure used the papers to cover its face when the woman suddenly glanced at its direction, as if aware that the figure was observing her.
"I FUCKING SWEAR!!!!" her eyes were burning with deep rage and insanity as she stared, no, glared at the figure.
Infact, she was not aware that there really is someone watching her, she was just guessing. And in terms of how accurate she was in finding the creature's location, she also took a wild guess.
3 years, she was in that place for 3 damn years, and it wasn't a surprise when she gained skills, like having a 5 person conference, how? Guest 1 to 5 was all her.
Over the time she was there, she also befriended a couple of identities, like hair, hand, and the esteemed mister feet, and his twin foot.
She was about to summon the guests of her manor called "Bob" when the empty white space she had brown accustomed to turned black.
"FUCK YOU BOB! YOU TRAITOR!! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WERE BLACK!!"
A low chuckle sounded from her left side and finally hearing response from a real existence elated her much more than she could ever tell.
"Silly" the person said, and it sounded like it was a 'he'
"Shit! Bob is that you!? You ingrate! Damned son of a Bee! You know how to speak? I thought you were mute! And here I am wasting my time to speak for you in front of Mr. Foot and Mrs. Toes, I am utterly speechless and betrayed!" she scolded whilst her face quickly turned sour, as if she was really betrayed.
The voice from a man scoffed and mumbled "speechless? You seemed to be too bubbly and talkative for a person who turned insane from being purified. Tsk and your mouth need a wash, 3 years worth of purification did nothing to your foul mouth." he was clearly mocking her, Hah! He dares!!
Enraged, she rolled the imaginary sleeves up to her shoulder and faintly snapped her neck and hands to induce what appeared to be her way of intimidating.
"This grandpa will teach you respect, ungrateful child! Kneel pheasant!" she walked to 'Bob's location with a grim expression, suddenly she was being held down by an invisible force. Making her unwillingly yield to the power.
"Make me" the voice that seemed to be too far away a while ago, was now directed at her ear, speaking with great authority and dangerous killing intent suppressed her. A soft yet cold breath befell her ears making her stiff.
"Who are you?" She finally had the chance to calm down and ask a question. The man snickered and told her it was none of her business. Aggrieved, she then pouted and murmured inaudible words that only she and her other persona's could understand.
"Let's go" the man spoke again and she could hear faint footsteps from a far, if it wasn't for the fact that she had grown more sensitive with all her senses, she would not be able to hear his steps.
She felt defeated but she still obeyed his words, it was as if the raging dragon who was spouting evil enchantments wasn't her, even calling herself grandpa. She completely took on the role of Guest number 4, a meek and timid girl, easily frightened, innocent and pure. A hundred percent untainted.
Anyone who will see her will instantly be fooled. Luckily, the man from before didn't buy her shameless pretend.
Staring straight at the jet black surroundings, she would almost think that she didn't move at all if it wasn't from the fact that she could slowly see a flicker of light ahead. Finally! Freedom!
She hastened her pace and even wanted to walk past the man, but she chose to walk behind him, she wanted to know who the man was, and it would only be possible if they were in a bright place.
During their exchange before, all she could see was that he was a foot taller than her, well proportioned body and was in a very elegant robe, with two long intimidating swords hanging both at his sides. She knew deep inside that this man wasn't simple, she did not dare think of how easy it would be for this man to behead her if he was annoyed.
5 more steps and they would be under the bright light, just a few more steps he would be able to take a look at this promising man's face.
She held her breath and waited for him to take his final step, she did not dare blink, scared that she might miss a single detail.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew and along the strong spiking air were a few pink and white petals that seemed to be a Weeping Cherry Tree, its soft scent lingered in her nose tempting her to take a whiff.
The pretty petals blocked her sight and all she could witness was the man's pinkish peach robes with black and blue hem and sides, fluttered and swayed along the wind, then suddenly the man disappeared.
"Holy Sheep!" she cursed and quickly skimmed her surroundings, although she was mesmerized by the vast and beautiful land full of flowers ahead, she was more reclined into finding the mysterious man.
Her eyes then found a white and majestic looking fox like cat licking its paws below the big old Weeping Cherry Tree.
"Your mouth stinks" the voice of the man from earlier sounded but what took her by surprise was that the fox infront of her opened its mouth, as if it was the one talking. She stood there, mouth hanging and her watery eyes that were small, rounded and widened.
Her finger pointed at the fox-cat and she was very much speechless, this time it was real.
"Bob?" the beautiful fox-cat who was lying on a tree's roots enjoying the breeze suddenly fell and glared at her. He who was revered as a peerless man, sought after by Gods and Goddesses, was nicknamed Bob by a mad woman who talks to 4 other persona's who she played herself. Foolish! Unacceptable!
The fox-cat turned his head away from her and flaunted his well kept tail, swaying his body elegantly and walked away from her. She then followed him while giggling, he looked quite cute when he was annoyed a while ago.
...
After they had walked for quite a while, they arrived in front of a tall building which they entered immediately. The longer they stayed inside, the more she felt nauseous, she just saw different kinds of creatures, some she had heard from fairytales, and some were completely foreign existence to her.
Where the hell is she?
Her questions were soon answered when a woman in a very bright yellow lipstick assessed them.
"Welcome to the Afterlife, home of the dead. Ah! You must be the lunati- Fresh meat HAHA! Welcome fellow undeads" her words were quickly overshadowed by a menacing laugh.
What?
Fuck!!

CHAPTER 2: GOD OF FATE
WARNING!
THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS LIGHT (SEXUAL, SUICIDAL, DANGEROUS, EXPLICIT) SCENES AND WORDS NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE BELOW 18 YEARS OLD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISKS!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
JUST BEWARE!
"So here's the thing Miss Fresh Meat, You can choose within these jobs, and with that, you will be able to level up, from being a lowly unfortunate soul. By leveling up, you will be able to access various fields and also earn authorization and power over those beneath you."
There are 10 levels, from highest to lowest:
Sephyle- this is the part where you will experience tribulations to be able to ascend to the path of godliness. Sephyles take the appearance of a 4 winged angel, the closest to a God, and will be working as their right hand. Sometimes, they take orders from their masters where they visit certain worlds, etc.
Chephyle- the level of doom, they will then be challenged by other Chephyles, and if they manage to earn respect and love from others, they will be able to level up. If they fail during one of the battles, if it is within the stakes, the losing party might be demoted or lose their rank.
Throphyle- Their principal reason for existing is to ensure that the universe stays all together by sending down energy to heads of government and other specialist figures. They are like governors of the afterlife, they take control of evil and good. They level up after a certain amount of experience.
Dophyle- The warriors of the afterlife, more of like a soldier. They go to wars by morphing into a certain creature and help one of the parties to victory. May it be mythical creatures or humans, if there's war, there's Dophyles. They will only be able to pass through this level, if and only if they had led the parties they joined to victory, but this isn't easy, along with joining wars, they also have to rank up.
Inuphyle- The purifier, just like the figure that observed her, will also help purify the souls of beasts and any other creatures. Will be able to level up once they achieved internal peace and purified a certain amount of souls.
Prophet- The prophets are assigned once who will partake in a journey on a planet, and share the blessings and guidance of the God who hired them. Through achieving the role of the highest priest or priestess, they will be able to level up.
Virgin- Virgins or spirits are like fairies, they will choose certain aspects of being a virgin, like the virgin of life, virgin of flowers, virgin of war, etc. After achieving beauty and admiration, they will be able to pass this level.
Archangel- They will morph as a human, work and live as a human. Along with their mission of achieving purity and goodness while they live as humans, then they will be able to level up. They sometimes work as Public Servants, Governor, Mayor, President, etc. To go to the next level, an Archangel must lead blackening individuals to righteousness.
Angel- Specifically guardian angels, Angels take up missions and guard those who have strong belief, trust and love for a certain God that an Angel is working for, then this Angel will be sent upon the realm where the family or person resides and will be tasked to guide them, and prevent them from going astray.
Mage- They are the ones who are assigned for the material things on earth, just like life in it, powers, fire, water, earth, air, flowers, etc. A mage will only level up once they finish the task regarding the type of mage they are and also how well they have managed to beautify and bring life to the place assigned to them.
Whilst a Soul is the starting point of everyone who used all of their lifetimes. Everyone is given by the God of Life a total of 10 Lifetimes and once they use up all the lifetimes, they will then start their journey into Godliness, and start as a wandering soul.
"I'm right, I am dead" she spoke as her head drooped and the usual glistening eyes turned dull, fully blending in with her current identity as a dead, lifeless, soul.
She felt bad, but then she understood. She glanced at the woman in yellow lipstick, her face looked pretty decent, short bob hair, white long-sleeved shirt with three buttons open at the top. Her shirt was tucked inside a yellow pencil skirt and on her shoulder is an animal printed scarf. She heard that this woman is called Paisley.
Paisley had told her that in the Afterlife, there is no need for surnames. Having a surname meant that you are snobbish, unmannered, and do not follow the laws nor the norms. Paisley also introduced her to the way of living and the places she is supposed to visit after she signed her name up to the front desk.
As she was writing her name down the 'List of Souls' she suddenly realized one thing, how did she die? What was her life during those lifetimes?
"Miss Paisley, if I could ask-"
"Don't ask" The woman cut her off as if she already know what it was and she was using the 'she doesn't give a fuck' tone at her which kinda annoyed her.
"How did I die? What was my life during those 10 lifetimes? And in my last life, why did I suddenly die? It was pretty clear to me that I didn't slip nor fall on purpose" She voiced her confusions and deliberately looked at Paisley with pleading eyes. Yet the woman just scoffed at her and told her to go to the God of Fate.
Facing the unwillingness to speak of someone will surely anger anyone, but knowing that she just got here and she had no plans on going against others so fast. As much as possible, she wants her 'undead life' there to be smooth and peaceful, afterall Afterlife is supposed to be everybody's resting place, right?
Just as she was reassuring herself, she suddenly felt the ominous feeling that nothing will go her way, and that thought disturbed her more than ever.
...
They are currently inside the office of the 'God of Fate" waiting at the queue. The creature from a while ago told them that since they do not have an appointment, then they ought to wait for the God of Fate to have his free time.
"Please come in, His highness currently has 15 minutes to spare" the creature said. She then took this time to sweep a glance over the creature's body, he had a pair of wings and above his head is a glistening, and eye blinding halo. What took her by surprise was how shiny the man's blonde hair was, it was like his face held holy purification that seduces you. Shaking the weird thoughts away, she walked past the man with scrunched brows. As she stepped inside the room, she then found herschel;f in a completely different setting. She had expected herself to be inside a literal office room, but in front of her is a chinese style courtyard and it is surrounded by tall bamboo trees, at the far right corner are daffodils and dandelions.
Her eyes glanced around the whole place and stopped at the sight of a Man who will surely make anyone breathless.
Now that she thinks about it, the creature from a while ago dulled in comparison to this man. His long jet black hair hangs over his shoulder as if they were soft blankets warming him, whilst he wore a set of ancient blue robes with intricate design on its hem and waist. She was surely taking up her time appreciating such a beauty when she suddenly heard a low and majestic beautiful voice that would make your stomach churn in delight.
"Do you dare let this mighty one wait?"
