The Forgotten 7th God
Six Gods rule six towers, allowing the mortal races to earn power, prosperity, and prestige. One day a seventh god appears in the world in the form of a 12-year-old boy. " My name is Dawn, I am the beginning and I am the end. I am the god of Death." Dawn declared. ------ " You are always uncertain, I don't know if you are my ally or enemy," Cole shouted. " We are friends so why are you getting in my way." " It's because we are friends, I can not allow you to kill innocent people for revenge," Dawn replied with his hand aimed at Cole for an attack. ------- The undead flames were rising and were burning everything in thier path. No one could deny his strength, The person they thought to be the self-proclaimed god of death was the one behind thier demise. " It's because of the likes of you that I feel my trust wavering in humanity and I feel ashamed to be one of you, Die and become a part of me," Dawn shouted. ------- " Master, I have devoted myself to only you. If you want me to fight against the entire world then I will gladly do it. The world means nothing to me, there is no value in life other than the life that I live for you. I have and I will continue to devote myself to you for eternity." Leona said with her being as serious and fierce as ever. " You are not a servant Leona, you are my first follower." ------- " Master, I used my sword for anyone who could afford it. There was no honor in my life and I made Hans and Brook become the same. You are the one who made me gain my honor back." Felix said with tears in his eyes. " So I don't understand why don't you let me do my duty as your knight." " It's because of people like you that I was always able to know the kindness of humans. I have always hoped for happiness for you, I can't allow you to suffer, I owe every one of you who pulled me out of the darkness of loneliness." ------ " Luna, If I say that all of your miseries in life were because of my existence. Will you hate me?" Dawn asked Luna, not being able to look in her eyes. " I will never hate you, if there is anyone I love in this world, it is you. The miserable experience showed me the true face of the world. I only know that you are the one that I want to devote my everything. It's never your fault, you made me realize that it was not my fault either." Luna embraced Dawn. ------- This is the story of a man bestowed with the power of death and once renowned as the god of death by everyone. He sacrifices himself to save the kind humans of the world but that wasn't the end of him. He reincarnates and starts his journey once again in the same world which has drastically changed. ------- ------- This is the first novel that I am going to write seriously, I have got an amazing story to tell you in this novel so stick around. I will update it regularly, with 7-10 chapters every week. ------ ------- The cover of this novel doesn't belong to me, I will mention the credits later because I still don't know for sure who it belongs to.
Dawn
" So is that all you two want to talk about?" The boy asked, once looking at the grave and then at Lock.
" I don't know how but whatever you said would have been the words only my friend would have said. There were even some things that only the two of us knew about."
He was confused but feeling somewhat relieved of his guilt. He looked at the boy in front of him who was standing near him with a calm smile.
" I have fulfilled my end of the bargain, would you fulfill mine now." He asked.
" Tell me one thing, why is the ghost of my friend still here, will he not go to heaven or hell?" Lock asked in reply to his question.
" Souls with strong spiritual prowess take time to vanish, he will pass away in a month or two, if you want I can help him pass away now." The boy said offering his hand. Lock didn't understand this action, but remained at a little distance from the boy.
" You said, you are Death! I didn't understand what you meant?" Lock asked.
" It's the same thing your friend is asking." The boy replied.
" My name is Dawn, Death! is my title. People prefer to call me that more than my name, but I would like you to call me Dawn." Dawn again said these words with a calm face.
" You are still just a kid, What would you want to know?" Lock sat down on the ground to listen to what the kid had to say.
" I want to know about the tower, how do I enter it?" Dawn thought and then asked.
" There are several entrances to the flame god tower, you need to pay money or fight in a yearly held rumble match to enter, and each year only 100 people are allowed to enter the tower. Those who climb the tower are known as Climbers." Lock explained more than Dawn had asked.
" Tell me, something who created the tower," Dawn asked.
" God of the flames obviously, there are six gods and six towers. Each of these towers was created by the gods that reside on the top floor."
" If it's life-threatening, why do you climb it?" He asked, " It's just intriguing to me so please do tell me."
" I climbed the tower because I didn't want to be weaker than others. Because weaker people are always tormented by the strong, I wanted to be a strong human that's why I chose to climb the tower."
" I see, I think it was not a wise choice seeing how you lost something important rather than gaining any strength." Dawn chuckled which made Lock a little irritated.
" I have answered enough questions, if you are wise, you should train that little body of yours before trying to climb the tower." Lock started to walk away from the place.

" He didn't believe you, my friend is like that," Kevin said and then added after a pause. " So you are death, little boy. I never thought that Death would look like a brat."
" Your friend is gone, now I ask you, do you want to pass away in the afterlife," Dawn asked.
" I don't know, I still have the desire to live. Can I not just be reincarnated or something like that? Can you help me please?"
" I can not help you if you desire to reincarnate but I can sustain your soul. You will have to become my subordinate for that." Dawn explained.
" Will you let me take my revenge?" Kevin asked.
" You know once you become my subordinate, you kind of become my responsibility, I can't allow you to kill someone innocent. I don't know whether your reason for killing is valid or not."
" I want to kill someone because he deceived us and I think he is deceiving someone very important person that I care about. I can not allow that to happen."
" You have your choices, Kevin, become my subordinate or vanish into nothingness. I will allow you to take revenge if I deem your reason to be Valid."
" I agree to become your subordinate if you promise to let me take revenge for a valid reason."
