The God of Death was in over his head. Everything was going wrong and the timelines weren’t what they were supposed to be. Not only that, but this annoying White Star was messing with his plans. Even bringing in the soul of Kim Rok Soo wasn’t fixing it. At the end of his line, GoD goes to Danny, the King of the Infinite Realms, for help with his little timeline and regressor problem.
…
GoD in a meeting with Danny:
Danny: "How did you manage this?!"
GoD: "Um-"
Danny: "This was supposed to be a straight line, you made it into spaghetti!"
GoD: "I can explain…"
Danny: "Don't bother. Give me a moment."
Danny goes to Clockwork because timelines were his expertise.
Danny: "Clockwork, advice."
CW: "Just go, have fun. See it as a vacation."
Danny: "Vacation? Say no more!"
…
Cale didn’t know what was happening. The God of Death had sent a message through Cage, saying they had to go to a certain location. At first he hadn’t wanted to go, but GoD had kept annoying Cage until she came begging to go just to make him shut up. He had expected many things, an ancient tomb, some treasure or some kind of MacGuffin that would cause him more trouble than it was worth. What he hadn’t expected to find was a coffin with a child inside of it.
The child was small, probably around twelve to fourteen years of age. He had pure white hair, pointy ears and pale skin. The boy was freezing to the touch, but they still found a faint pulse, meaning the boy was alive. That was immediately confirmed by the boy moving and sitting up with a yawn, showing off small fangs and revealing bright blue eyes as he opened them to look at his surroundings.
It seemed Cale had to give Fredo a call. They had apparently found a vampire child.
…
Danny being put on the side-lines during a fight:
Danny: “I can help!”
Cale: “No! Sit and play with Raon.”
Danny: “But I can-”
Cale: “No buts.”
Danny: “Still I-”
Cale: “No.”
Danny: “Cale-”
Cale: “No.”
Danny, sighing: “ Okay…”
Danny goes and does it anyway behind Cale's back.
…
Danny had been forced to be in between ghost form and human form as he was put under restrictions for balance and plausibility for the world. It couldn’t handle his full strength. In order to sustain himself in a world with no ectoplasm, he found that mana, especially dead mana, was very appetising and was able to substitute ectoplasm.
Imagine him just chugging the stuff while everyone looks at him with horror.
