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
Di San turned. "Huo Ling!" he exclaimed.
"What is going on?" Huo Ling asked again. "Why are you two looked like you are about to fight?" he asked and looked at Yi Bing. When he saw Yi Bing's scythe, he suddenly felt his soul became cold, but he also felt something familiar.
"Training." Yi Bing answered and summoned back his scythe. He has lost his interest to fight.
Di San saw Yi Bing's scythe disappeared and he sighed in relief. Then, he also summoned back his weapon. "We're done training." He told Huo Ling and smiled.
Huo Ling. "…" do you think I am a three-year old child?
Di San saw Huo Ling's expression and he laughed. "You suddenly appeared. Do you feel fine now?" he asked.
Huo Ling nodded. "Yes." He answered and turned to Yi Bing. "I've… heard about what happened to the Xi family, Lin family… and the Lee family earlier." He said.
Yi Bing didn't react and just asked. "When did you wake up?" he asked.
