Endsville. A truly horrifying town, and one that should not be treaded lightly. Every month, a new supernatural catastrophe makes itself known - From a nest of giant spider eggs hatching, to slimy monstrous creatures stomping across the town as if they owned it. And at the center of it all, two young adults that see it as normal, and are rather unaffected by the carnage each catastrophe lies in wake. And with those two young adults, the grim reaper himself that serves them, as per agreement through binding contest.
It has been years since Grim was first bound to Mandy, and her childhood friend Billy. And since then, and time and time after, they have saved Endsville from utter destruction. Yet they are unsung heroes. But they prefer that - Attention brings more attention, and with every fan-base lies a group of people that long desire to see them crushed. And in a town like Endsville, that was the very last thing they needed.
Regardless, they went about their day like normal. Wake up, go to school, come back home, and watch TV. It has been like this up until now – High school approached, and with it the troubles of adulthood piled on top of the responsibilities of being Endsville's unsung guardians.
Meanwhile, as the duo prepared themselves for their first day of school by purchasing supplies, a new resident and his mother moves into Endsville - In their neighborhood, no less. The town was abuzz with anxiety. Were they here to stir up trouble? Were they forced to move into this mad city? Mandy was cautious. Billy on the other hand... He was an utter twit. He couldn't care less if the new visitor was here to stir up trouble. He just saw a new potential friend.
But Grim knew exactly who he was. His name was Dante – He had dark hair, almost a black color, and it was unkempt. He wore thick-framed glasses, and behind them, a pair of bright frosty blue eyes. His skin was light, as if he was underexposed to the sun's rays. Dante was a slender young man, and quite tall as well. He stood at a lovely 5'9". Not above average, but not below it either.
Oh yes. Grim knew exactly who Dante was. His real name is Kyle, and shortly after reaping the soul of his long-time girlfriend, and in secret, he watched as Dante lamented his loss and blamed it entirely on himself. But he was not weak – He did not resort to cutting himself in an attempt to relieve himself, nor did he give in to the urge to stop eating. He did not give in to the temptation of alcohol, nor smoking. Grim respected this greatly, and made a promise to himself to not reap his soul until his time was done. And with Dante's healthy habits, he could live to be over a hundred years old.
But will he uphold his promise to himself? Endsville was a place of corruption, where madness takes reign of the deepest crevices of an individual's mind, and twists them until the result can no further be twisted. Dante might be the newest victim.
It was only a matter of time before this fresh sane mind met that of Billy and Mandy's. Who knows what grim adventures await them all?
