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
Everyone's faces were covered in black lines when they heard what Huo Ling said. "…" how lucky are you to actually meet a human experimental subject?! They thought as they looked at him with their eyes wide in both shock and disbelief. "WHAT?!" they exclaimed. How can Huo Ling meet a human subject?! Why is he so lucky?!
(Huo Ling: my luck has been accumulated from my previous unlucky lives :/)
"Huo Ling, you… are so 'lucky'!" Jiu Ye said and smiled while the senior grim reapers' expressions are really so complicated for not only Huo Ling found a human subject, but he also talked with him?!
Wait – the human subject talked with Huo Ling?! They thought as they stared at Huo Ling. How did it happen?! Could it be - ?!
"He found you?" Yi Bing guessed.
Huo Ling nodded. "Yes." he answered. "Though I don't know how…" he said and grimaced. "Sorry." He apologized and lowered his head.
