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
"WHAT?! In here?!" Huo Ling was shocked. He gaped at Yi Bing in disbelief. "Where? Where is it?!" he asked as he looked around. Suddenly, he noticed something. He turned back to Yi Bing. "How did you know this?" he asked.
But, Yi Bing just smiled at him. He placed a finger on his lips, motioning a 'shh' gesture. "It's a secret." He answered as he winked at him. He looked so handsome, and that action of his makes one's heart skip a beat.
Yet, Huo Ling's face darkened. If he currently has a body, he would feel goosebumps on his skin as his hairs stood on their end. "Heh." He sneered and then turned his back on Yi Bing. He doesn't want to speak to someone who only speaks halfway, and leave him hanging on the latter half.
Yi Bing chuckled at Huo Ling who's throwing a tantrum. "After tonight, I'll take you to see the Soul Furnace." He said before he paused. "I also have something to pick up from it." He added.
