Death is not an end, but a beginning. In the afterlife, a soul finds itself in a position that it could not of predicted in life. At times they are simply recycled, but in other instances, they rise up and take form, becoming champions and potentially permanent residents of the afterlife. These souls are given a comfortable life, and even a chance to ascend to godhood.
However, like all things in life, and now so in death, there is a catch. The only way to ascend is by participating in a world-spread game of battle royale dictated by Death herself.
