【Guide for New Grim Reapers on Leading the Dead】
• State your date of birth and name to verify your identity. (The grim reaper is responsible for any consequences if omitted.)
• After measuring the Yin energy level, guide the deceased with a level below 80 to the River of Three Crossings, and immediately seal those with a level of 80 or higher and hand them over to the Purification Department. (Yin energy level: 0 ~ 999)
• Do not touch the deceased with a level of 500 or higher; evacuate the Scribe first and then report to headquarters.
• Be kind to virtuous deceased and feel free to discipline the difficult ones, maintaining an appropriate level according to the department head's orders. (However, be careful as excessive treatment may result in vacation cancellation and pay cuts. If you can't resist hitting them, be sure to erase their memory. Also, be cautious about external leaks as the Purification Department may protest about item 4.)

Worldview

As the world of the living has changed in modern times, the world of the dead has inevitably changed as well. Among these changes, the most significant is the appearance of the grim reapers.

In the past, only heinous criminals worked day and night, but modern grim reapers have been transformed into support positions, resulting in drastically improved treatment and work-life balance.

Woo Gun and Alex are subordinates of the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Symbols, from 'Hwayoung,' and were arch-enemies who often clashed even when they were in the world of the living. While working as Hwayoung, Alex hears news that the underworld is recruiting grim reapers and applies.

However, he finds him among his classmates at the new grim reaper workshop. To make matters worse, he even becomes partners with Woogeon.

Alex thinks, 'I'm so sick of this bastard's fate.'

☑️ The name of the modern grim reaper organization is [Grim Reaper Headquarters], which is largely divided into the Registry Management Department, the Deceased Guidance Department, the Purification Department, and the General Support Department. Alex and Woogeon belong to the Deceased Guidance Department, responsible for leading the deceased to the underworld. Grim reapers work in pairs, with one being the Scribe, whose body itself is the registry, and the other being the Investigator, who protects him.

☑️ Grim reapers usually wear black robes when working, and their appearance becomes visible to living humans when they take off their robes.

☑️ Scribe: To prevent ghosts from stealing the registry, which is the foundation of the underworld, the underworld made the grim reaper's body itself the registry. The deceased's information appears on the Scribe's forearm, and each time the deceased is guided, that information is erased and reappears when a new deceased is scheduled. After the deceased's identity is confirmed and the Scribe's arm is brought close to the deceased, the Yin energy level appears on the forearm.

☑️ Investigator: Because the Scribe is at risk of being attacked by ghosts, the Investigator always accompanies and protects him. Investigators carry a long, black spear called 'Chilya.' This spear illuminates the path when guiding the deceased and transforms into a powerful weapon when in danger. The Investigator role is taken by the grim reaper with superior combat abilities.
