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
Time passed by and in a flash, half of the semester passed and the results of the exams was posted. As expected, Yi Bing, Huo Ling and Shou Ji are exemplary and they got the top three places. Shi Jiu is strong, too, as well as Reine and they entered the top ten. Imir and Celrei are in the top twenty as well as Ethan who relied on his combat classes to squeeze in the top twenty. There are fifty students in their class. Both in combat and knowledge, Yi Bing, Huo Ling and Shou Ji are the best. Shi Jiu, Reine, Imir and Celrei also have proven themselves to be worthy of defeating the senior students during the Annual Challenge. Of course, not all twenty-five of them are good. As one of the reasons of the Annual Challenge, it also wanted to eliminate the muddle-headed students.
