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
A tear fell from Huo Ling's eye before he slowly opened his eyes. "Huh?" he muttered, his voice nasally. He held his chest when he felt it ached. "Why do I feel my heart is heavy?" He asked. "Why am I… crying?" he added, his voice almost a whisper.
"Huo Ling, get up!" A voice called. "You'll be late for class!" he heard them said as they spoke by the door. They're about to leave.
Huo Ling still can't process in his mind what is happening. He's confused. However, he nonetheless answered. "… okay..." he said, but his voice weak and hoarse. He then wiped his tears. However, even if the tears have already disappeared, but the pain in his chest didn't. I seem… to forget something. He thought. Something important... something very, very important.
