Back Story

Since the beginning of time, there has been an unknown force that has governor the world of the humans, demons, and spirits.  Throughout history of all races, he has gone by many names: The End, The Reaper, and Death.  It is his scared duty to the gods to determine when life is to be terminated. For centuries, this balance has gone on undisturbed. But even the god of death can control so much…
With the constant rise in population and multitude of wars that humans wage on one another, along with the demon's natural urge to battle, even the god of Death struggles to maintain his duty.  Coming to the conclusion that he can not fulfill his duty alone, he decided to recruit those he deemed worthy to learn under his and become his disciples, dividing the work among them.
One thousand years have passed since he had taken on his last student and the rate of unjudged souls has slowly increased. Realizing this, Grim has decided that its time to gain another follower and bestow upon them one of his remaining duties, The Guider of Souls.
After careful searching in both the human and demon worlds, he has found two potential candidates, a demon noble and a human warrior.  After finishing his observations on the possible demon student, he decides that he perfect in terms of ability and status, but his judgment could become corrupted later in the future. Switching towards the human world,  he notices an unusual phenomenon with the young warrior. His battle spirit is no more impressive than any other humans, but there is something eccentric about him and holds off on his decision.
Undecided on his choice, Death decides to test the two possible Guiders.  Only one problem… the souls of the depart only co-exist with the demon world and after the last Human-Demon conflict, a law was past to prevent the two from interacting with one another. Getting him to the demon is but a simple task for a god, but letting him roam a world in which he will be attacked on sight could be problematic.
But little does he know, with his other disciple discovering his possible future, finding a way to keep the warrior alive is the least of his problems…

Just a few things to help you out :D

1 - space things out a little more. Hit Enter an extra time between paragraphs. Easier on the eyes.
2 - Found a typo. "Scared duty" --> "Sacred duty" =P
3 - "Even the god of death can control so much" - Might wanna add "only" somewhere in there. It sounds like you're saying, holy crap, this guy can control a lot, and in context, that makes no sense whatsoever. So maybe make it "Even the god of death can only control so much" or something like that =P

Sounds pretty good if you ask me, though. But I'm kinda wondering why some of it sounds familiar...xD
