Read Death God's Kingdom by Jay Cartere
What's this story about?
They killed Death's son. It didn't stick. Now he's back for revenge, and everything they've built.
Kai was a swindler raised by the mob. He had simple dreams, like eating real meat, gaining arcane powers, and executing a hostile takeover.
Then his boss betrayed him, sacrificing him to dark gods in a profane ritual.
But that turned out to be a lucky break.
Because Kai discovered he's Death God's son—and dying was a minor inconvenience. Even better, it made him stronger.
Now, as an undead demon in disguise, Kai must master the Darklands' trials, claim his birthright, and gain the power to exact his revenge.
Eldritch abominations, calculating nobles, ruthless mobsters and scheming Gods stand in his way.
But the gates connecting the Darklands to Earth threaten everything. Kai must decide: save a world that threw him away, or let it rot while he takes his throne.
