บท 101: Blue Moon's Lord!

Acting as the temporary Grim Reaper was a strange and surreal responsibility, and there were three coveted spots open for apprentice Shinigami. The first of these was already reserved for his own dragon cub. The title of an apprentice Grim Reaper would grant the young dragon a dual identity, half mortal, half creature of the underworld. With that status, and the fierce protection of a black dragon as its mentor, the cub was destined to grow into a creature of immense power, both feared and respected.

As for the remaining two spots, he found himself considering candidates from the temple. It amused him to think of plucking two skilled clergymen from the mortal world to serve in the ranks of hell. One in particular stood out: Steven, a Paladin of the Valkyrie Temple. An apprentice Death God from a holy order? It was almost poetic. Of course, this wouldn't go unnoticed, especially by the Valkyrie herself.
