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
"Huo Ling?" Mo Shi called when he saw Huo Ling in the library. "What are you doing here… hey, what are you reading?" he asked as his eyes widened when he saw the book that Huo Ling is reading.
It was about the Heaven and its history. Huo Ling and Mo Shi have already read it before, but Huo Ling wanted to read it again in case he has missed something before.
"Why are you reading about the history of Heaven?" Mo Shi asked. "Did you find something about the secret organization?" he asked, referring to Re.
Huo Ling slapped his forehead when he recalled that there is still this problem. "… yes." he answered.
He doesn't know why, but he feels curious about this lord Zero. So, he wanted to read everything about the Heaven's past and, using the details that he has heard from Yi Bing, study what exactly has happened to lord Zero's past.
