Sorry about that. The way I understood it when I made the character was that Malak was THE Grim Reaper. But he doesn't cause people to die and he only acts as a guide to help people to the afterlife. Mortals can get to their own afterlives without any issue so long as they BELIEVE in an afterlife. Malak's main purpose is opening the path to their personal afterlife and helping them there.<br/><br/>As for the reincarnation thing, the way I tried to explain it is that you go to heaven, do the whole heaven thing for a bit, then are reborn eventually. As little as five minutes or five thousand years could separate two lives, so it's fairly open ended. And you don't necessarily need to be reborn. After all, new souls are created every day if you think about it. There are more people now than there were a hundred years ago, and many more than a thousand years ago, so where did all the extra souls come from.<br/><br/>Sorry if my post stepped on any toes. I just started writing and didn't stop till I was done. My bad.
