Afterlife Department
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
Malice
"Ha – " Huo Ling suddenly shivered when he felt a chill ran down his spine. His eyes widened since he felt fear momentarily struck his heart.
"Huo Ling!" Yi Bing called when he saw Huo Ling's terror-stricken expression.
Huo Ling was still stunned by the malice he just felt. "I – " he muttered, but no words came out of his lips after because his lips were quivering. He could feel the malice deep in his bones. Who is it? Where did it come from? He wanted to ask, but because he was afraid, and his mind refrained him from asking, thus the questions were unspoken.
"Huo Ling!" Yi Bing called as he pulled the other into his embrace and patted the other's back. He felt it was fortunate that the other has cultivated his soul back to its former strength, or else he would worry that the other's soul would just suddenly disappear for being too weak after he suffered this fright. "What happened?" he asked as he softened his voice.
