🎶 "Humm-hmm-hmm-hmmm~" 🎶
Deep within the Demon Lord's castle, descending the damp and shadowy spiral staircase leading down to what seemed like an abyss, a lone figure hummed as they walked. It was none other than Enma, the Lich King, occupying one of her bodies.
"Oh, the look on Zil-kun's face was priceless…"
Enma was in high spirits after her intriguing interaction with Prince Zilvagias. The bewildered look he gave her when she told him there was no afterlife—that was truly delightful.
The concept of an afterlife exists for nearly every race.
A resting place for ancestral souls, the final sanctuary for the dead. Depending on the race or religion, that realm might be ruled by gods of light or darkness.
For most, the afterlife was understood as the land of the dead—a paradise for the virtuous, a realm of punishment for the condemned. Each culture had its variation, but they all shared the fundamental belief in "a realm where the dead go."
