Chapter 1: Netherworld

Netherworld.

"keep moving!"

"Walk Faster!"

"You dare talk back!"

Smack!

Smack!

Many tall, scary looking hell servant that carried whips around their waist were monitoring and guiding the souls of the dead to the valley of reincarnation. They're were millions beyond millions of souls that formed a sinuous line walking to the valley of reincarnation to be reborn.

In that sinuous line was a twenty year old man, his name was Yang Sen, a young man that got caught up in an accident and died.

Currently even though he was still walking, his eyes were close shut, like a dead person without any souls in his body.

When a persons dies it takes a while before their soul would reach the netherworld, while the soulless walking body was immediately create after their death. This method was created by the king of death himself, king Yama.

It was to speed up the process of reincarnation, since they're were trillions beyond trillions of souls in the world of the dead and many more beings that died everyday. Once the souls of the dead enters hell, it would be assigned to the empty body that was created after the death of that being.

In the red skies, millions of souls were raining down each minute, in that group of souls, Yang Sen soul was also there. dropping down like droplets of water, the souls enters their body.

Yang Sen skin that was lifeless before was now gaining it's original lively color, then suddenly Yang Sen opens his eyes and the first thing he saw was a green looking demon, horns the sizes of tennis racket and was wearing a white clothe. Yang Sen was so shocked, that he blanked out for a moment.

He then started to stuttered for a bit.

"T-t-this m-m-must b-b-be a-a d-d-dream r-right?"

"I-I w-w-was j-j-just a-at m-my w-wedding a-a m-minute a-ago"

Yang Sen, tried to calmed himself down first and tried to thing this through, knowing that panicking and being scared wouldn't help much in these situation, Yang Sen finally calm down.

He then quickly survey the area trying to find anything useful about the situations he's in. The thing Yang Sen saw were many beast that had human-like form, tons of demons, aquatic like monster, human race and etc. There were also lots of hell servants watching over everyone.

The strange thing that Yang Sen notice was that, like the horned demon, everyone else were wearing the exact white clothes including him, like they were in a cult of some sort.

This fact scared Yang Sen the most, he saw in many movies that when you die you go to the netherworld, where dead beings there wear white clothes.

After looking around a bit more and seeing hell servants punishing other souls for not behaving, Yang Sen felt really scared.

"T-this can't be ,h-how could I have d-died?" emotions were surging out of Yang Sens, he couldn't remember at all how he died, the only thing that he remembered that today was his wedding day. How could this have happened to him, he couldn't remember at all how he died.

"Hey little fella, why are you stopping, don't stopped walking or else those hell servants are going to punish you, just looked what they did to that guy way over there"

Yang Sen was startled when he heard someone talking to him, behind him was an Ox man that was 3 meters tall, had anxious face on and was pointing at a lizard men that was getting tortured by some hell servants.

there was many bruise and injury on him and he was still getting beat up by those hell servants for trying to retaliate earlier.

Fearing that he would be next, Yang Sen quickly moved forward without delay.

"Good thing you listen to my advice little fella, if not I don't think the out come would've been to good for you" The Ox man was kinda happy that Yang Sen actually listen to advice not like the others.

"T-thanks, I was just shock about something earlier, by the way is this hell?"

"Sure is"

"Sigh.... I see"

"I know its hard excepting your death at first, but you'll get used to it later on I promise."

The ox man then continued.

"By the way the names Andrew, Andrew Oxer from the planet called Blue."

Then Yang Sen introduced himself.

"My names is Yang Sen and i'm from the planet called earth."

"Earth huh? what is it like in your planet."

"Well, my planet is really beautiful, peaceful and has many amazing places you can visit, not to mention many exotic foods from different parts of the world.

"Ha Ha, what an interesting planet." Andrew was really curious about Yang Sen world, even though he only briefly describe his planet.

As time when on, both of them would ask each other more question about their planet, what job they had and many more things in general. Yang Sen was now able to be more at ease thanks to Andrew.

"Yang Sen, I know this might be rude of me, but i'm really curious as how died?"

"Sorry Andrew, I wish I could tell you but I don't even know myself how I died, one moment I was at my wedding the next I was here"

"No, its alright Yang Sen, that was really impolite of me i'm sorry" Andrew was embarrassed that he even had the courage to ask about such a sensitive topic only after knowing each other for not even a day

"Andrew trust me, i'm not lying, I actually don't how i died"

"Yang Sen, even though we just met, we got along just fine, so lets not talk anymore about such a sensitive topic anymore, ok?"

"Alright fi- wait whats that up in the sky" when Yang Sen looked up at the red skies he saw a figure that had a mans body but a head of a horse and he was coming straight at them.

Andrew also turned to looked and questioned "what is that thing?"

Not long after the horse man was right in front of them, from a far he look like a tiny figure, but when up close he was about 200 meters tall, many of the hell servant in the area went to pay their respect to the giant.

"My name is Horasm and I have come from the order of King Yama to escort the ghost name Yang Sen to his majesties palace" many ghost in the surrounding area were stunt, a ghost that the king of the dead is interested in? who could this ghost be.

Andrew looked at Yang Sen with big eyes, Yang Sen looked at him back, his expression told Andrew, he didn't know what the hell was going on and why the king wanted to see him.

"....."

The place was quite for a moment, no one their to even uttered a sound as they were all scared of provoking this giant called Horasm. Horasm took out a photo that looks exactly like Yang Sen, he then scan the surrounding area using his massive eyes. It only took about a second for him then.

"Found you" Horasm muttered silently, he then flew down in front of Yang Sen and Andrew, staring at Yang Sen, while all the other ghost and hell servants also looked toward his way.

"Young man come with me" Horasm gave a smile toward Yang Sen, this smile made Yang Sen terrified of this horse man.

"W-why does the king want to meet me?"

"Only the king can answer that" Horasm answered lazily.

"A-alright I'll go, there's no way to escape from you anyways, I probably would probably also gain some benefit with meeting with the king" Yang Sen than walk extremely slowly towards Horasm's hand.

They paced and step that Yang Sen was taking was even slower than a snail. Many of the ghost try not to laugh when they saw this, while other's just stayed silent but wouldn't feel bad if Yang Sen was punish. The only one who cared for Yang Sen was Andrew who was watching him anxiously.

Although he didn't say anything, but his face was enough to tell that he cared for Yang Sen even though they just met.

Irritated by Yang Sen step's, Horasm face-palm himself "are you seriously trying to annoy me? Punk get on my hand right this instance or i'll take you the chamber of a thousands suffering!"

Hearing this made Yang Sen afraid and he just quickly ran to stand on Horasm's hand.

"Good, lets get a move on now."

After Horasm left with Yang Sen, the hell servants quickly handle the situation and peace was restored. Although there were a few gossips, but besides that there wasn't anything much. After Yang Sen left, Andrew felt sad but also pray that Yang Sen would be safe.
