Death. That's something you never expect when living your life normally. Slow or quick, It arrives without grace no matter what. Reece walked through the afterlife in that haze of graceless and quick death having his mouth tasting iron. This is until an odd light shined upon him. An unexpected clarity overcame him about what had happened once he spoke to the being behind it. She gave him an offer, one that he couldn't pass on after everything left behind in his old life but what was his end of this deal? Well... Become a Stock Hero Those not really tied to their old world nor their new one, summoned for a job to perform ranging from being a hero, guiding them, or even killing heroes who lost their ways. A crushing job but who wouldn't jump at the chance to help family all alone in their world? That's simply the nature of making deals, you pay with your life for something much greater than it.
