Elsewhere, back at the Slime Grime Dungeon, the echo of conversation buzzed before it suddenly died down. The green portal ahead shimmered softly with a mesmerizing light before a figure stepped out, drawing the attention of everyone. Silence engulfed the area.
It shattered moments later, murmurs rippling back in full force.
"Look, it's him... the Grim Reaper! He's finally out of the dungeon!"
"Huh? Wait, am I seeing this wrong? Something feels different... Why the fuck does he look so goddamn handsome?! Answer me!!"
"I knew it, I fucking knew it! He's heaven's chosen! Otherwise, how do you explain all this?"
"Hmm, now that I look at it, you really are ugly compared to the Grim Reaper... Ugh, I was a frog at the bottom of the well, my standards in the gutters..."
"Fuck you, man. You don't look any better yourself. Besides, I have a girlfriend..."
"Not anymore..."
