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
"This is bad…" Gu Lin frowned when they saw the space distorting due to the intense heat from Huo Ling's fire which is becoming hotter as time pass by. "If this goes on, the barrier that I placed around the school would break!" he said.
Not to mention that the entire Jingzhi Academy, instead of burning, would actually melt from the extreme heat of Huo Ling's fire! Either way isn't good!
Xie Chen looked at him. "Then, do you think that he could defeat the Soul Eater?" he asked. If Huo Ling could, then they won't step in. It is better to let Huo Ling unleash all of his potential so he could grow.
And return to his peak, just like when he was still lord Zero – the first grim reaper.
