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 was waving his feet as he sat on the edge of the rooftop of a building. Di San had sent Yi Bing a message telling Yi Bing to meet him.
"So, where are they?" he asked and turned to Yi Bing who was staring at his wristwatch, watching the red short hand of the clock move every second while they waited for Di San, Feng Er, Liu Lin and Si Shui to arrive.
Yet, they still haven't. They are quarter of an hour late. This isn't how Di San works. He has always been punctual.
BEEP –
Suddenly, Yi Bing received a message and it was from Di San, telling him to meet them in a hotel. "The location changed." He told Huo Ling as he closed his communicator.
"Hm?" Huo Ling obediently rose and walked towards him. Because of the rich spiritual energy in this world, his soul could take on a human form.
