The God of Death, Thanatos, leaves his home to prove he is more than the Grim Reaper.
The God of peaceful death, Thanatos, is hated for his association with death. He takes souls from Earth to the Underworld, sending them on their way, whether it be to servitude or reincarnation for another chance at life. Despite his kindness to the humans who have passed, due to the war breaking out on Earth, they have blamed him and given him the name "Grim Reaper". The stories spread to the clouds, leaving him alone among the Gods and Goddesses. He is bothered by the nickname, eventually forcing him away from the clouds to make up for the mistakes he's made, and to help the ones who are harmed by the death of friends or family.

Death's Duty
(18+) *Complete/Unedited* ---- "You are death." I heard the grin in his tone. "Death's duty is to take care of the already departed. Newly deceased, and previously deceased alike." ***** Morrigan Wraith lives a double life; one not many would think to question. While on the outside she looks like a normal human detective, underneath all of that lies a grim reaper. Reapers were created at the beginning of time, formed to be unemotional and detached as a soul's transport to either Heaven or Hell. But Morrigan is unlike the rest. She was created with a defective heart - one that felt emotion, and one that got her into more trouble than she ever imagined. (18+ for language, violence, and sexual situations)Complete
