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
"So, what if I am?" Huo Ling asked.
"You have to face the Soul Society." Yi Bing told him.
"But this is deceiving the vessels' family!" Huo Ling said.
"Do you think the Soul Society cares about feelings?" Yi Bing asked as he rose from the ground and faced Huo Ling. His tall stature gave Huo Ling a sense of oppression, making Huo Ling took a step back a bit.
However, Huo Ling wasn't intimidated and he raised his chin to Yi Bing.
"If the Soul Society can even do this kind of despicable act, why would they care about the feelings of trifling people?" Yi Bing asked. "What they care is only their objective and things related to it. Other than that, they don't." he said. "Instead, they see them as obstructions to their goal." He told him.
Huo Ling speechlessly looked at Yi Bing. "Soul Society… what is this abominable organization?!" he asked through his gritted teeth.
