An epic tongue-in-cheek comedy hosted by the Grim Reaper himself as he tries to train up a new batch of Reapers. (Book 1 of 3)
Tipa, a Medieval Fantasy Planet in the backwater regions of the Fictional Omniverse, is a very unstable planet with portals from other universes/dimensions/realms dropping random objects on passing pedestrians.
As one can guess, life in Tipa is very stressful, particularly with a lack of Class III Diety's keeping watch over the planet to protect it from xeno-invaders. Protection and balance lies in the hands of the Reapers, a group of elemental demi-gods choosen by the Great Elemental Spheres, the powerhouses of Tipa and the surronding system. The Elemental Spheres cannot directly interfere with Tipa except for providing it the elemental energy it needs to survive except through the Reapers, who act as their proxies.
Reapers are not immortal, and die off in combat or after a few centuries, but the position of Reaper for each element never goes away, with a new Reaper being choosen by its respective element. Usually, a Reaper is a 19-22 year old human who has no love relationships whatsoever who is native to Tipa.
However, it seems one element has decided to pick an outsider to be it's Reaper, a human from a variant of Modern Earth. What does this mean for Tipa?
