Leaving Hell

Death walked up to Xie Jian who was looking down, thinking of what the skeleton just said. He was from an exterminated clan, he has the power of fate, what is he going to do now? Xie Jian had more resolute eyes as he knew he had to take revenge, but right after, a confused expression showed as he didn't know what to do next.

Death smirked as he saw the changes in Xie Jian's expression, knowing what he was thinking and said: "It was fate that brought you to me, because I am the only one who can change your condition of death to living, with this book."

Xie Jian looked at the book in Death's left hand. It was black with gold embroidery around the sides. Death opened the book and a flash of gold shot up. Death looked at the book in his hand and spoke "Show Xie Jian's status."

The pages started flipping until it stopped on one page. This had Xie Jian's life, Xie Jian in the clan, his parents, how he was treated, his karma, his sins, his death, everything was written in the pages of the book.

Death spoke "This is the Book of the Dead, it records the life of a person and helps the Judge decide if you get damnation or released to heaven. But I took it so you can change status from dead to living again, changing your fate. Now the only thing is, do you want to accept the burden of my request or do you want to stay dead?"

Xie Jian looked down, he hasn't lived a full life, for the life he did live he was secluded and lonely, but now he was getting a chance at life a new beginning. He will take any mission if he can reach his goal of getting revenge. Xie Jian nodded his head.

Death nodded its skeleton head and spoke "Great, my request is for you in the future when you are powerful, go to the Demon King's hall, free my soul from hell, and kill the Demon God... In the future with your power, it will be very easy to do."

Xie Jian was shocked an unconsciously spoke "Kill the Demon God? The mythical being that killed dozens of gods single-handedly, you want me to kill him? " Xie Jian has heard many tales and stories of the Demon God and his evil, heinous acts.

Death looked at Xie Jian "Oh, the Demon God is bad but I've seen gods do worse, nevermind that, Child, you must tell me now, will you accept the burden or not?"

Xie Jian quickly said, "Yes, I will get revenge and free you from hell."

Death laugh made hell shake and he said: "Before I let you go, absorb this..."

A disfigured body appeared in front of Xie Jian, its disgusting figure made Xie Jian gag, Death again pushed it "Quickly child place your hand on it and make your blood go towards your palm and absorb it, then I will let you leave."

Xie Jian through all thought aside and did as Death said, he placed his hand on the lump of meat and directed the blood into his hand, a light appeared as the meat block disappeared and entered Xie Jian body, he screamed as he felt pain throughout his entire body. He got up and realized he felt different.

Death looked at the confused child and said "I let you absorb a genius from the Void Spirit God Race and let you absorb his bloodline, you can now cultivate here is a cultivation technique he had with him when he died, in the future you can absorb other races to evolve yourself to the most perfect being, now don't forget to get revenge and free me..."

Xie Jian saw a scroll appear in his hand. A black light appeared as Death's scythe turned into a pen and eraser. A gust of wind blew throughout hell as Death broke through the barrier of life and death in the Book and changed Xie Jian's status from dead to living. Xie Jian saw a circle appear below him before he teleported back to the living world.

Death who collapsed onto his knees from using all his energy changing Xie Jian's status felt a terrible pressure from the book and suddenly tentacles grew from a page in the book and grabbed Death, as he got sucked into the page he shouted "F**K... DAMN IT... ALL... THAT KID BETTER FREE ME OR IM GONNA...!!!"
