Narukami Ren was a 22 year old adult woman who liked drawing, reading crappy novels, and watching anime with her two golden retrievers named Momo and Saki. She had recently graduated from college and moved into an apartment, so far she had been living a happy life of a human in her youth. That was until she died because of a gas leak in the building which despairingly suffocated everyone in the building one unfortunate summer night. Ren went to heaven with her dogs by her side and was immediately put to work helping under an angel, known as one Zoran Malory. It happened that souls lost too early were put to work to gain more experience and mature into stronger spirits so that they could meet the requirements to be an angel.
The angel attendant at the desk she appeared before put it much the same way,"From now on, Narukami Ren will work under senior advisor Zoran Malory until her soul reaches the requirements to join the angels." So she had to work her way up to become an angel or get assigned a mission to where she was needed most.
It wasn't a bad job, or even that hard either. She helped organizing the living records of those on earth as well as the last moments of those souls like her who had recently died way too fast. Think of a library that appeared to go on for centuries long, it was all her's to organize and sort through, she also cleaned and learned from Zoran about her duties as a maturing soul. She learned things like purifying evil using spirit energy, moderate teaching's in self-defense, and the near infinite amount of runes and it's uses when applied to Talismancy.
Ren spent at least a century or two under the watchful care of her sensei and father figure Zoran, even if he was cryptic at times, she had grown to love that about him as well. Once Ren had proven herself to be a matured soul ready for her first mission, Zoran had called her from the library to his office space where he explained what she was to do in order to gain her wings, "Miss Ren, it is time. Your mission will have you waking up in the year 2006 within the Jujutsu Kaisen universe which has unfortunately mixed with other timelines and is now in danger of being lost to this reality. Your mission is to see the storyline to a positive completion, you won't be able to leave until the story ends in a positive resolution. Be careful, the Jujutsu universe has collided and joined others so the story you know is already off track and disjointed. The higher up's must have high hopes for you kid to give you a mission like this for your first time." Ren gulped in apprehension as she learned a bit of what she's getting herself into.
There was no way for her to refuse unless she wanted to stay a mere soul for eternity, but she was not prepared to go through either universe no matter how screwed up and twisted the natural order was,"Don't fear, I'm not just going to throw you in without a boon or two. You will be getting a skill system much like a video game character might have, it will help you understand your limits and what you need to know to get stronger so that you survive the combined forces of these universes."
"I get a system?" She questioned allowed as a light teal screen appeared before her eyes. Causing her to shut her eyes in surprise at the bright light that flashed in front of her. Blinking them open, she took in the information before her.

"Cursed corpses? Like Principal Yaga?" She asked as she tilted her head at the screen, her eyes flitting over the screen with curiosity in her teal blue hues that stood out against her long fluffy Storm cloud-like hair.
Zoran smiled with warmth as he watched her checking out the system he had created for her, "Of course, once you have destroyed a curse you will gain soul crystals that you can use alongside your spirit energy to create cursed corpses to fight and do your bidding for you."
She tilted her head to the side as she thought about her new skill set that she had, "Bookworm? Do the books get absorbed and disappear? Cause that would get irritating to try to explain and just plain expensive if I have to buy it." Zoran sighed with exasperation, he had thought it was a helpful skill to have but Ren being the skeptic that she was, was pulling it apart with that same innocent look on her face. He brought up the master screen and tweaked it so that the books wouldn't disappear even when she absorbed the information from them.
"All better?" He asked as he copied it over to her screen causing her to nod her head with a little bobble. He sighed stretching out his massive snowy owl wings behind him as he stood from his seat and went to lean against his desk in front of her to stare into her eyes seriously as he spoke about the possibility of her abilities and in case of failure procedures. "Right, just before I send you off I want to remind you that if you mess up and something happens to prevent a happy ending that it will loop back to before it happens allowing for multiple shots in some cases. You will just have to say Activate: Rebirth. It will instantly turn back the clock to give you time to prevent a black mark in the storyline from appearing. Another thing to keep in mind is that spirit energy is ten times more potent and controlled then Cursed Energy so you have to be careful with the output you use and who you show your energy to. Spirit energy is more closely associated with chakra, which is a balance of positive and negative energy within a person where as Cursed energy is the use of pure negative energy. Your spirit energy alone could kill Grade 3 and 4 curses as an infant, in fact it's the inherent ability to use spirit energy that is keeping your vessel safe in that universe." He stood up after that and motioned her to follow him as he continued walking to the side of the room where a door appears.
"Once you step through this door you will start your mission no matter the difficulty or differences to the original plot it is, you will be stuck there until your mission is complete." He turned to stare down at her with his equally as teal blue eyes and a warm reassuring smile, "Chin up kid, your going to do great! Make sure to check your inventory for me okay? And remember, have fun alright?"
She bit her lip worriedly as she gazed up into his eyes, "You think I can do it?" She saw him as a father figure after the many years being with him, and really valued his thoughts and feelings.
His eyes shined with his grin, "I don't think so-I know it. Come back soon but not too soon okay? Have fun with it."
She smiled brightly back as she started forward, "I will I promise! See you soon Zoran!" She disappeared in a bright flash of teal blue. Zoran stared after her even when she had teleported too far for him to see, a universe away. "I'll miss you kid..."
