Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 : Nox’s glorious demise

Nox died as he lived- pants down and full of poor decisions.

One second-he was sneaking past a door –"Do not enter, you pervert" sign outside the Jade Lotus Temple's sacred bathouse, whispering stealth incantations he barely memorized after learning them for a year. The next he was in the air, because of a flying sandal thrown by an eldrely nun full of spiritual power comparable to an smally army.

"Ahhh…my eyes…!" she shreiked as Nox's towel betrayed him in mid sprint ,flapping heroically in wind like a defeated battle flag.

"It's not what it looks like.!"he yelled, which only made it worse.

Nox final words…

"But, it's totally worth it...."

The world faded to black.

Harps started playing, probably mocking him.

Regret knocked politely, then kicked the door down.

.........................................................…

Before the darkness swallowed him completely, Nox saw flickers of his mortal life—like the universe was playing a highlight reel of his greatest hits. Unfortunately, most of them involved running away with his pants in one hand.

"Pervert!"

"You again?!"

"Why is your nose bleeding before you get hit?!"

When he opened his eyes, he fully expected hell – fire, screaming, chains, demons, may be some angry monks screaming about "karma".

Instead…he got sparkles, silk sheets and …boobs.
