The Sovereign's Agent

My name is Viol. I was born 5 minutes after the beginning of time. And I will narrate to you the story of Victor Dunn. --- Victor was the son of funeral director. That is until one day: [This is the Death System. It's purpose is simple. The current ruler of the Land of the Dead, (?????), is in need of an agent who can perform all necessary duties in his place. Do you accept?] "Come again?" --- This book is sorta part of a series together with my other works in the sense that some characters will overlap (narrator included). They also take place in the same fictional world. Though in very different time periods.
