The life of a Reborn Servant is a tapestry woven with threads of death, resurrection, and an unyielding pact with the devil, Levistus. Once mortal, circumstances led to their untimely demise, yet fate intervened, offering a second chance at life, courtesy of the infernal lord.
Resurrected at the behest of Levistus, the character's allegiance is now tied to the devil's machinations. Whether through a pact, bargain, or sheer necessity, they've become an instrument in Levistus's designs, bearing the mark of their resurrection and their commitment to the dark entity.
This new existence is fraught with complexities. A debt weighs heavily upon them, their soul irrevocably entwined with the devil's whims. In service, they navigate the shadows, acquiring skills of deception, investigation, and manipulation to fulfill the devil's desires. Their relationships are often veiled in secrecy, guarded against those who might unravel their ties to the infernal realm.
Haunted by memories of their previous life and facing the skepticism of others due to their resurrection, they maneuver a world where trust is a rare commodity. Each action is a careful dance, balancing the demands of their patron with their own ambitions and desires, all while teetering on the precipice of damnation.
