Shinnigami's Tale
Prolog
I think, at times, that I am alone in this world so big; that I could do anything I felt the desire to, so long as it was on my own. But I am lonely, as being alone will do to any person, even me. So I sought out other people, though they knew not of my presence around them. I would watch and learn all that I could of these strange counterparts to myself.
I had hoped, even then, at the beginning of my emergence, that in time I would be accepted and fluent in the language of this undisciplined species of man. I had waited and joined them for moments at a time, before disappearing once more.
I am the god of death, Lord of the underworld. My name is Shinnigami, but for this foray into the world of men, I was to become known as Duo Maxwell. My tale started centuries ago, but my life, my life started here.
