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
Afterlife Department, Lower Heaven.
Di San frowned after he read Liu Lin's message. "Things aren't looking good in the mortal realm." He spoke. Then, he shook his head. "Instead, it becomes worse as time passes… the Soul Eaters are now able to create human forms and even acted like them." He heaved a deep sigh. "Our grim reapers have almost been fooled." He said.
Gu Shi nodded in agreement. His expression also looked heavy and grim. "Fortunately, the Soul Eaters that are in the other worlds aren't that strong, or else…" he frowned. "It already isn't good to have a Soul Eater in any of those worlds." He said.
Di San hummed. "Feng Er, Liu Lin and Si Shui and the other non-assignment grim reapers including Yang Jie and the other newcomer aside from Huo Ling, Zhang Jun, code 9957, are killing the Soul Eaters in other areas, not to be outdone by the ones in the mortal realm." He spoke.
