However, these employees weren’t exactly the most qualified or good at following rules they have been taking way too many souls from the inhabitants of Earth, ignoring company protocol. This is the organisation that is responsible for processing souls in the afterlife it’s a huge undertaking for one person, so he decided to hire some help. Mere mortals get to take control of The Grim Reaper and his company Death Incorporated.
