“Welcome Chosen Ones. ”
The same voice as before resonated around them
“No, the voice is back, screamed Lachlan before dropping on the ground on a foetal position. ”
Seo-Yun sighed, while Arthur and Soifra came closer to each other looking to determine from where the voice was coming.
“Here begins your chance of redemption. You have wasted your life on earth and now you will achieve missions in order to pay back the debt you gathered. Once it has been fulfilled, you will be allowed to resume your life as the exact moment you left it. However, to gain your new chance at life, you will need to prove yourself worthy to join the ranks of the Reapers. A new order formed to defeat the evil forces lurking on the living world. Centuries before your births, brave order of knights, samurais, warriors and other light defenders protected the world from the darkness ‘grip. ”
“It was not a foolish prank and I really saw this mark”, Seo-Yun thought.
“Before you officially become a Reaper, you will need to pass three trials to determine your value as a servant of light. For each quest, you will have to overcome one dark entity.

You can use it as an ordinary weapon or use its magical abilities. The scythe can transform once into the desired object or weapon per mission. Accept it now. ”

However, you will appear to the persons you will encounter dress appropriately to the place and time you will be standing in. Do not forget , if you fail your missions or get killed during one of them, you will also die in your first life”
“What? Protested Lachlan. Hello weirdy-voice-not-in-my-head-anymore, but just in case you did not notice it yet, I am only wearing a flashy swimming short. It is out of question, I go around the world half-naked. His voice rose. I don´t even have flip-flops! ”
“I am wearing my cashier´s uniform! Protested Seo-Yum. Give us new clothes! ”
As usual, the voice continues without given any attention to their interruption.
“You are only granted a certain timeframe for your mission. You have up to the sun rise. Fail and your soul would be destroyed. Wasters, be ready. Your first mission starts now”
As the words were fading away, their faces were drained of all colors. Trembling, they look at each other pronouncing without words. Soifra made a gesture forward, raising her hand.
