Origin[]
When Death entered a monk's castle, he was cheated. Somehow, the monk discovered an ancient secret where he was able to control human fate.
When the monk emptied a powder into the flames of his boiling pot, Death was unable to end his life. As the powder plume rose, the monk continued to chant, causing Death to retreat to Infinity.
With his new power, he would not let the lives of others run their natural course. With so many people suffering in pain, and unable to die, Mr. Justice had to intervene. When he did, he caused the monk to go up in flames. With the burns causing terrible pain, he pleaded to Mr. Justice for help. The only solution for salvation was Death. From the monk's cabinet, Mr. Justice gathered the magic "powdered" capsules and handed them to the monk. He swallowed them, realizing the sooner Death claimed him, the sooner he would be rid of his terrible torment. Once Death came, he was able to once again, control the final destiny of all people.
