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
"Huh…?" Huo Ling muttered as Yi Bing pushed his wheelchair around the school's grounds. "Hai Ba is 8888, right?" he asked.
Yi Bing nodded. "Yes." He answered.
"And Sha Jiu is 9999…" Huo Ling continued. "I mean, the former 9999… but, there is a thousand difference between them?" he said.
"That's because the time flows differently between the worlds because of the unstable space." Yi Bing answered. "Hai Ba might have died three years before Sha Jiu died in their world. But, their world might be a hundred, or a thousand, years behind from our world." He explained.
"Oh." Huo Ling muttered. Then, he looked around. "By the way, don't I have any classes today?" he asked.
"You've just gotten into an accident, and you want to attend class the same day?" Yi Bing asked back.
