|COMPLETE| Life after death, ironically enough, does not live up to expectations.
When the entirety of the afterlife is upended by unexpected chaos after the gods took a leisurely vacation, Death himself enlists Evyionne's help to find out what went...
Please take note a GLOSSARY is available at the beginning of this book. Please go there and look for anything that confuses you instead of asking me in the comment section. As much as I want to reply, I don't have the luxury of time. It's been published a few weeks ago. If you don't see it, please archive/unarchive the book to update it.

I'm adding this map here. But you can find it on this book's GLOSSARY for future references. You guys are lucky I know how to make this stuff. XD
And yeah, Vertvalden is on your right hand side of this map and Erindal on the left. When you're viewing things from outer space, there is technically no direction (that's just me trying to justify my mistake).
More details on the map will be added later on (like river and lakes and their names). This is still a draft.
There was a quaint restaurant that exhibited a minimalist feel with its clean and simple décor. The tables were, like in Venerya, low and were posh black. A porcelain vase was set on the center and within it sat a thin arrangement of salmon daffodils that added that much needed pop in color. If they stuck with that fifty shades of grey, I would have felt sorely dissatisfied.
My mistress and I sat on floor cushions which came with a backrest and the arms—save for the legs. Why would they need such an extra boost in height, anyhow, when the tables were so freaking low?
I shook my head.
Anyhow, it was a cultural thing. I'd gotten used to the low tables and no legs on chairs thing they got going on, because it was very similar to Asian culture. I'd seen enough dramas to know.
They didn't do chopsticks though, but they did like excessively round spoons and three-pronged forks. I didn't know about the particulars, but it might have something to do with their soupy diets and rich seafood cuisine.
I've read up on Lovarda quite a bit, but I still picked up a guidebook on the country and the capital where we were currently in so that I could familiarize myself with it better. I was happy as I was spending the money I earned off the perfumes. The guidebook didn't cost more than ten bullions. It was a good price.
The capital, seaside city was called Anala. Lovarda was the neighboring country of Venerya which I considered my home. Venerya was considered the 'Dragon's Perch' and the leading country under the Dragon Emperor who held the title of First Among Equals. With that, the city where I had grown up in, Kilahad, was considered the capital of the capitals.
Compared to Venerya, however, Lovarda was a country primarily ran by its strategic trading points. Its farthest lands reached out towards the West Continent, Vertvalden. Not to mention seafood! Fresh! Not as...fishy. Aside from its economy relying heavily on being a trading post, it also exported products pulled from the sea. Some of the best quality seafoods came from Lovarda. In fact, it said in the book that they supplied around fifty percent of sea products in Venerya.
