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

"'a part of the soul'…" Huo Ling muttered as he ran through the rows of books on the bookshelf with his index finger touching their spines, feeling the etched words on their skin cover. "'Soul Fragment'… and 'Soul Crystal'…" he muttered when he recalled what Yi Bing has told him earlier in the City of the Dead.
"… 'a part of his soul'?" he muttered as his eyes widened in surprise after he hear what Yi Bing said. "What do you mean… 'a part of his soul'?" he asked.
Yi Bing stared at him. "As it is, in literal sense." He answered. "Just what you are thinking right now." he told him before he turned to continue drinking his beer.
