___________________________________________________________________________________________________
There are not words to describe the feeling of walking through a door and arriving on a vast plain with nothing around but grass. But alas I must try to explain it. If you haven't guessed already, each of the doors in that hall lead to a different dimension. I wont bore you with how dimensions are made or created as it would take too long. Only know that each place is separate yet the same. The beginning is the same point while the end is vastly different. The true could be said of people as well I suppose.

Seconds later
As I stepped through the door I felt my mind filling with knowledge. It was as if someone had just explained to me everything about the world I had just stepped into. As I recovered from the shock of that information I saw the plains. There was nothing elsearound me. Only grass, grass as far as the eye could see in every direction. A few hills interrupted the monotony. Behind me the door had disappeared. Strangely, I didn't find anything odd with the disappearance of the door. Only in the strangeness of walking from an endless hallway into a sea of grass.
As I began to make more sense of where I was. The knowledge in my mind informed me that I was in the Plains of Gerun. The center of the continent of Foltest. On the planet of Drunitas. (Like I said knowledge, lots of knowledge.) To my west is the city of Gerun, a center of trade in the region. Also the location of my target on this mission a girl named Senna. Beginning to walk towards the city I noticed some dust rising in the distance. At first it seemed to be some kind of animal. But as it got closer I realized it was a person. The person was flying, quickly and low to the ground. More importantly he was heading towards me.

Deciding that running would be less than effective against someone moving at that pace. I decided to wait for him to arrive. It didn't take long at the speed he was going. As he neared me he began to slow and then finally stopped a couple of feet in front of me. (How to describe another reaper 101) The man in front of me was shrowded in a light shadow. Just enough to make him blurry but not enough to make him impossible to identify. His skin was of a darker tone closer to ebony, with long hair drifting down his back. His eyes were black and lifeless more like a void than eyes. His height was hard to tell as the shadows seemed to have a magnifying effect similar to water through glass.
Speaking at me he said "Why have you come here reaper? This is not your domain and you have no right to be here." I paused a moment, then began to speak. "I am here because Death has sent me to claim the soul of one by the name of Senna nearby."
Shock quickly passed across the face of the man in front of me. "I am the reaper in charge of this place. I was not notified that you would be coming to claim a soul. You will walk back through that door and not come back." Waving his hand the door reappeared behind me. A sudden urge to kill this man arose in me. Managing not to yell I told him. "I will not leave until my mission is complete. Failure is..."
Before I could finish speaking the man slammed me back through the door and into the hallway. Tumbling to the floor I watched as as the door silently closed. Sealing off the view of the grasslands and the man who attacked me. Before I had the chance to rise to my feet Death appeared in front of me. Once again he was in that shadowy form with the burning eyes. "Well that was amusing. I half expected you to start running away as soon as Raj came at you." Feeling a rising hatred for this man and his disregard for my life I started shouting.

"You found that amusing! Did you find killing me and holding me hostage amusing!? What kind of being are you to treat my life this way!?" Slowly his eyes began to burn brighter as if he was angry. "You were already dead before I brought you to this place. I only brought you here and extended your "life". And if I happen to find you amusing you should thank me rather than yell. You will go back through the door and you will claim the soul named Senna." With that he waved that creepy formless arm and I was back on the plains. This time though it was dark with little light to see by.
Taking a moment to analyze the situation I decided to head towards the city. After a few hours of walking I began to see light in the distance, the city finally being within sight. During the walk my thoughts had been dark and focused on how much I had lost in a single day. But as I saw the lights of the city, the mission pressed on me. Somewhere in this city was the woman named Senna. Somehow I was supposed to kill this woman without directly interfering with her. Thinking on these things I made my way towards my fate.

RE: Souls War Apocalyse
When I and every other humans on earth have been summoned to the cursed world of Yvelmore, to serve as a front-line soldier in an impossible war against an invasion of nightmarish creatures, I knew right away that something was going to go wrong. I was right. The war? Hell, we lost it so much all the nations of the world have been destroyed and all the races have disappeared. Me? I was a veteran who survived until the end. Was I strong? Fuck yeah of course I was, except ... it was useless, I died like everybody else. The bad news? When I thought it was finally over, I woke up in the past, the moment I was summoned to the beginning of the war. Come on, seriously? Do I really have to go through all that again? What? And everything restarts every time I die? No... are you fucking kidding me? Right? Genre: Action, Adventure, Medieval Apocalypse, Times Loops, Progression, War & Fantasy, Grimdark, Magic, Horror, LitRPG (but RP). Tone: Despair at the firsts chapters (which makes sense for a story that begins with the end of the world, doesn't it?), and lots of humor and stupid situations after to lighten the tone of the story. (Oh, and the MC is NOT a psychopath, a rapist, a hypocrite, or human garbage, so sorry for those who like that, because I don't like that). Note: Expect this story to contain grammatical errors and occasional random conjugations. I am learning English, and I have made a lot of progress, but I still have some gaps. So if you're allergic to it, don't read this story, you would inevitably be disappointed.
