50,000 years ago, Hell was destroyed because of too much Foul from the resentment of the souls that later turned to Soul Eaters and devoured everything in their wake, leaving nothing of Hell. The gods above in Heaven, in order to take care of the newly-died souls, created the Afterlife Department comprised of grim reapers. Huo Ling was delivering food that day when he met Yi Bing and the guy gave him a warning. When he arrived to the customer's unit, he was killed. Huo Ling: you set up a death flag for me! Yi Bing: I'm a grim reaper. I'm the flag myself. Let me help you solve the mystery of your death. Huo Ling: your sister! Alternative title: The Different Ways I Died at 23 Update: daily
Huo Ling watched the door closed after Qi Shan left. "… is he alright?" he asked as he turned to Yi Bing.
"He will." Yi Bing answered as he sliced the fruits.
'will'? Huo Ling thought, feeling that there is something wrong with Yi Bing's answer. Shouldn't he say 'he is', not 'he will'? He felt puzzled, but then he just shrugged it off and returned to the channel that is playing Lei Shan's movie.
"Here." Yi Bing spoke as he placed the platter of fruits on the coffee table.
"Thanks!" Huo Ling said as he picked a slice of fruit using the toothpick, and then took a bite. "Mmn~!" he exclaimed with widened eyes when he tasted the sweetness of the fruit juice spreading on his taste buds.
Yi Bing also ate a slice and nodded. A faint smile is hanging on his lips. "Good." He muttered, referring to the taste of the fruits.
