1 Final Rebirth (1/2)
”Senior priest! Don't go! You are the only one who can keep this temple running in the 21st century!”
Who is this boy. I can no longer recognize him. I feel as if my mind is slowly slipping away. Bit by bit, like the shifting sands of the desert. Who am I...

The priest slowly moved forwards as the queue slowly became shorter. He didn't know when it started but he simply found himself slowly walking towards the figure stamping papers. The figure was broad, skin red as flames dressed in a purple robe donning what seemed like crown. Ever so often, a spectral figure would carry a stack of papers to him and he would give judgement through stamps. Finally it was time for the priest to face his judgement.

”It's nice to meet you, Lord Yama.”
The priest gave a small bow before accepting his judgement. This was the judgement hall of the underworld. All souls will be judged, gone through a hell and be reincarnated as a new being.
”Oh who do we have here... Ninth Priest of Eight Restraints Mountain, As one who has never been touched by earthly pleasures you have committed the worst crime possible for a priest. A untainted yet fractured soul...Hmm...It's you again”
”This lowly priest asks for only the harshest punishment.”
”Your soul is too clean... The hells itself will reject your existence.”
”Lord Yama ...I implore you.”
”I will send you to the unused 11th Fate Rending Hell again. It is the only hell which will accept your soul and is also the most powerful one. Even I do not fully comprehend it. They say those who enter will reincarnate cursed for four lives, blessed for the next four and transcend in the last.. If I remember correctly, this is your final reincarnation.”
”Thank you Lord Yama.”
”I should be thanking you...After all, I now have hope for a successor...I'll be expecting you”
