For a few chapters, we will follow Death's story. After these first few paragraphs, the story will be told from Death's perspective.

"Do you know how I was born?" Death asked as Kai shook his head.
"I thought that you naturally existed. But being born, well that's something else." Kai replied as Death nodded.
"This is going to be a long and complicated story so I will first tell you the basics. Before I was born, those who died couldn't go to the Darkness. They hovered wherever they died and tried to enter newborn babies. The soul of the baby is made by the parents souls. When a male impregnates a female, he creates 20% of the soul.
As the baby starts developing, the mother creates 30% of its soul. In the past, souls that hovered near the places they died often entered the bodies of these newborn babies and complete their souls. 75% is the minimum amount of soul power required for a person to be born.
