3 Anhur (1/2)

Karl was surprised that Adum called him master. He waved his hands in front of him. ”Ah, just call me Karl.”

Adum nodded. ”Ma- Karl, what is it you require me to do?”

”You're gonna be in charge of the Afterlife. You're the God of Death. You will command your fellow Kaitera to guide the souls of the dead that are still in the living world, to the Afterlife. Once there, you.” Karl pointed to Adum. ”You will inspect the things they did while they were still alive. If they did good, then they don't have to wait a while to reincarnate, but if they did bad, then they will have to wait a while, maybe even years.”

Adum nodded, accepting his orders. ”As you wish.”

'This is really cool. I've always wanted to do this before.' Karl thought to himself.

[All requirements have been met. The Kaitera will be the guide to the dead, and God of Death, Adum will be in charge of the Afterlife and the judge. Fair Afterlife has been made.]

After the notification popped up, Adum disappeared, sent to the Afterlife.

”This is so cool! Can you show me what's happening to the dead spirits?”

A screen popped up in front of Karl. The screen showed a dead spirit slowly corrupting the land when suddenly a rift appeared next to it. A cloud of smoke exited the rift. It was a Kaitera. It looked ominous as it approached the spirit, its eyes glowing a bright red. The spirit, scared by the Kaitera tried to run away. But it was no use. The Kaitera extended its hand out at the spirit, and it disappeared with a ball of light.

Karl looked at the Kaitera, his mouth wide open. The scene was kind of anticlimactic, but he thought it was really cool. He looked like a kid seeing his first magic trick. The Kaitera took flight, using its black wings, probably in search of more spirits.

[Congratulations! For completing the cycle of life and death, you have been awarded with 100 points.]

'Yay! The more points the better.'

Karl remembered the city that the Ancient Ones built and tried to change the screen to it. The screen changed into a bird's eye view of the city. The city was very big and sat atop the enormous trees of the jungle. In the middle of the city was a big statue of an Ancient One with a plaque. He zoomed in on the plaque, and read it, ”The founder, and the first.”

'This must be the first Ancient One. I wonder if he's still alive. He should be, considering they can live up to a thousand years.' He scanned the city, watching its inhabitants. He felt like a dad watching them move around. Some were building new houses, and some were creating tools. There was even a person with a robe, practicing magic.

”Show me the status of the Ancient Ones,” Karl commanded, not even sure if this would work.
