[the void]
As I wake up, I'm in a familiar place, the void.
A loud booming voice then spoke
"FROSTY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE.
I looked to the source of the voice, one of my oldest friends... the grim reaper.

"One, I died, two, can you not cause me to go deaf please."

"Ah, sorry about that its not every day that I get a visitor that knows how the void works, so... how did you die, I thought you we almost un-killable.

"Heh, almost being the key word." I then went on to explain the events leading up to my death.

"So do you want to go back to where you died, like the other two times you've had a perma-death?"

"No, for three reasons: One, I would be seen as a god if a came back from a perma-death. Two, I've never actually permanently died before, I was revived both other times right before my soul could be taken here, even though my soul was out of my body both times, I never full died. Three... I want to retire."

"You want to retire?"

"Its not a secret that I'm not a good leader, never have been, even if the things I do end up helping, its only because my people trust me so much, that they listen to my every word. I'm a decent strategist, but that's about it, my job is very stressful, I just want to go somewhere, where I can live life normally."

The reaper says nothing, but nods in understanding.
"Your role was forced upon you, and its not what you wanted for you life, right?"

"Exactly, I never wanted to be an emperor, but when I saw what they were going through I knew I had to help."

"You are aware that if you choose this path, you not be able to return to your home dimension, as even though I am going to bring you back to life, your actual dead body will still there, and due to the laws of existence, two of the exact same people can exist in the same place."

"Yes"

"When I bring you back I can fix your eye and arm, do you want me to do that?"

I actually had to think about that, I would love to have my real arm and eye back, but... "I would rather keep them, I have gotten attached to them."

"Very well do you have anything else to add?"

I thought for a second then said "No, I'm good."

"Then, I know exactly where to send you, but before you go, I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"As you know I've been a reaper for over a million years now, and I will be retiring very soon, within a year. My replacement has already been trained, I want to give you my scythe."

"I'd be honored to take your scythe, but what will happen to you afterwards?"

"I haven't thought of that yet, do you have a suggestion."

I take a second to think before saying "Give me a a way to contact you, and when you're ready to retire, I'll build a robotic body for you, I am quite versed in putting souls inside of robots."

"It would be interesting to actually have a body, I accept your offer.

He gave me his scythe
"So what exactly are the special properties of your scythe?" I ask the reaper.

"It has a toggle-able magic canceling effect that is much stronger than a normal magic canceling effect."

"Are you ready to go, Frosty?" Asked the reaper after I finished merging the scythes.

"Yes, but I must ask... what is the dimension that you are sending me to like?"

"I wont spoil the surprise, but you are gonna love it there."

"Ok"

And with that he snapped his fingers, and I lost my vision again.
