  Summary

  The death has come, and so he was finally going to enter the eternal slumber of pure tranquility..

  ..or so he thought.

  Waking up in a completely different realm was not something that he had expected to happen. Seeing so many different faces in one place and having to live with them.. it just didn't sit right with him.

  But he ended up meeting someone new. He found someone who managed to trigger some sort of a.. deep curiosity within him. Just who was this man that hid behind his arrogant façade? What kind of burdens does he carry within his heart? He never saw someone so against death, yet completely miserable due to the mere thought of living..

  It's all up to Aesop's curiosity and whether he'll let it win over him or not.
