Synopsis: A grim reaper with amnesia is clearly the strongest, yet has the worst work skills in all of Hell.
He is forbidden to harm evil souls, but can't bring himself to strike down good ones.
As he encounters one bizarre event after another,
he not only saves others, but heals himself as well.
Worldbuilding: The Hidden Laws of the Reaper Realm
1. The Reaper System - Reaper ranks: Based on "soul-harvesting records," reapers are divided into "White Scythes (harvesters of good souls)," "Black Scythes (judges of evil souls)," and "Gray Scythes (neutral cleaners)." Gu Leyin is classified as a "Gray Scythe" because he only harvests evil souls, but his rock-bottom record makes him the laughingstock of his colleagues.
- Forbidden rules: Reapers must not interfere with human fate except to harvest souls, or they will be consumed by "hellfire." If good souls are not harvested in time, they turn into "wandering spirits" and pollute the causal order of the human world. - Reaper tools:
Underworld Eyes: Can see the good and evil within souls, but often fail when Gu Leyin is emotionally unsettled.
▲ Soul-Binding Rope: Inflicts 100% damage on evil souls, but rebounds on its user if used against a good soul. Gu Leyin wears it all the time, but has never used it.
2. A World Where Humans and Spirits Coexist
- Supernatural incidents: A variety of settings provide the backdrop for episodic stories, including rule-based urban legends (such as the midnight admission rules at a funeral home), folk taboos (such as the night watchmen of an ancient town), and cybernetic spirits (AI consciousness awakening as an evil soul).
- Hidden factions:
▲ Spirit Crossing Association: An organization of human mediums that appears to assist the reapers, but secretly covets their power.
Abyssal Council: A dark alliance formed by renegade reapers, plotting the "Apocalypse Plan" to reignite the war of the gods.
