He died in a tunnel and woke up in hell. And now He's got a system that wants him to become Death itself.

Stephen King is a depressed, overlooked graphic designer with no future, no friends, and no purpose. That is… until a bus crash sends him into the afterlife, where he meets Lucidas - the Hollow Architect, a half-skeletal god of death who offers him a second chance at life.

But there’s a catch.

To return to the human world, Stephen must join the Death God King Tournament.... a deadly competition between 100 chosen humans, each gifted powers by a different Death God. The prize? Ultimate power, immortality, and the throne of the next King of Death.

Back in the world of the living...now armed with the Soul-Reaper System, a spectral weapon, and missions to reap the dead ....Stephen must fight corrupted spirits, rival Reaper Candidates, and his own fading humanity to survive.

He was invisible in life. Forgotten by everyone.

Now? He’s Death’s chosen, and the whole world will know his name.

Warning: The reason why this is R17 is because of Gore. The story might be slow. during the first 10 chapters, but they are not boring either. The reason is because these are the first world building chapters.

As Rin's body collapsed, the battlefield went still. Then Ding!


[Player Stephan has slain Rin (Rank E).]


[First Kill with Lucidas's Ossuary Blade! ]


[New Passive Unlocked: Marrow Reverberation- Each kill with the Ossuary Blade strengthens the blade's aura, amplifying shockwave damage by +5% permanently.]


[Bonus: Shadow Caster Eliminated. Status Effects from "Shadow Coffin" have been lifted.]


The Ossuary Sword pulsed in Stephan's hands, glowing faintly with an eerie light. The whispers of trapped souls rose louder, their chorus echoing in the still air like a thousand hushed screams.


Stephan exhaled slowly, smirking at the silent confirmation only he could see.


"Good," Stephan muttered, the Ossuary blade still humming faintly in his hand. "I can't wait to test this against worthy opponents."
