I sat quietly on the rooftop of the headquarters of the Meng Group in Tianhai City, quietly enjoying this rare comfort. Maybe it's only when I look at the sea that I feel a little lighter.

My name is Jiang Tianqi, an orphan. Since the age of 16, he has been in charge of garbage collection at the headquarters of the Meng Group. Earn some money and barely be able to sustain yourself for the past four years.

But today I received an admission letter from Tianhai University, and this event that can be celebrated in other families has made me fall into despair a little.

Tianhai University, one of the few universities in the entire Chinese country, can be said to be my dream. But now I have to deal with the high tuition fees and the horrible spending. The school was good, but it wasn't a place for people like me to go. The good things in this world are for the rich and powerful.

"Alas~, only to give up." I stood up a little shaky. With a deep sigh, the world is so unfair. I tried to comfort myself.

I was in a better mood and looked at the sea sky. I was shocked to see a large blue-green glow in the sky above the sea, beating like a flame. It's called the Northern Lights, and I was blown away by the spectacle. I can't help but sigh at the magic of nature.

Gradually, I was immersed in the beautiful aurora, and I didn't notice that the aurora was getting closer and closer to me, but I felt that the shocking scene was more and more attractive to me. And my heart is getting calmer.

I enjoyed the feeling of calm and stability. This smoothness lasted for a long time.

Suddenly, I was interrupted by a blinding light, and when I came back to my senses, I looked around in disbelief. At this time, I was surrounded by a blue-green light, and what shocked me even more was that there was nothing under my feet, and I was completely suspended here!!

There was nothing around but a blue-green glow. What the hell is going on, how did I end up here? I tried to calm myself down and began to remember what had just happened, trying to find any clues from it.

"Nice little guy! It's pretty calm. An old voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts. Who? "I instinctively asked, looking around, but still didn't find anything." Guess what? The other party asked with interest.

"I guessed I was going to ask you." I was unhappy with the other person's boring teasing.

"Yes, too. I haven't spoken to anyone in hundreds of years, you have to understand. The other party said with a smile.

"Wait, a few hundred years?" I suddenly reacted to the fact that there was something in the other person's words that was clearly beyond my comprehension.

"yes, hundreds of years." The other party replied lightly.

It was obvious from his tone that there was no exaggeration.

"Who the hell are you? Where am I? Why am I here? Naturally, I added honorifics and threw out all the doubts that came to my mind.

"Interesting little one, I'll tell you all about it now. First of all, I would like to introduce myself, I am the Grim Reaper. The place where you are now is in my soul, and of course my soul is the aurora you saw earlier. That's why I brought you here without you noticing. ”

My brain thumped. It was like a bombshell exploding. Death? Soul? How many hundred years old? These words were spinning in my head. I tried to tell myself to be quick to accept these unrealistic words. In the end, I forcibly kept the other party's words in my head, and told myself to accept them.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" I asked, trembling. The mind is still in a state of chaos. "It's pretty quick to accept. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Death said. I just nodded, thinking to myself that I was meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered. It's useless to resist anyway, so let's hear what he's going to do. Thinking about it, I am much calmer. "Little one, I know this is a bit fanciful for you, but I can tell you that what I say is true." Death emphasized.

"Senior, I believe it, you say. I'll just listen to it. "Hearing him say that, I calmed down even more.

"Little one, I appreciate you more and more. Okay, let's get down to business. I called you here because I decided to make you my successor. That means I want you to be the next Grim Reaper. Death's tone suddenly became serious.

"Senior, please be clear. I don't really understand. "I was no longer shocked to hear his words.

"I'm about to disappear from this world, but I don't want the god of death, the head of the gods, to disappear from this world completely. So I'm going to pass on all my abilities to my successors. I searched for a long time and never found you, but just as I was about to disappear, I found you. You must be curious to know why I chose you. ”

I nodded.

"A hundred years ago, I was conspired against by someone because of something and was injured, but fortunately I have the origin of death to live until now, and I have been hiding my soul for hundreds of years to find a suitable successor for myself. Because even if I get my inheritance, because I am injured, whether or not I can completely break the seal of the origin of death and restore my ability at my peak mainly depends on the heart and opportunity of the inheritor. I'm sure you'll be able to get it done. Death's voice was a mixture of anticipation and reluctance.

"I will certainly live up to your expectations." I said firmly.

"Good, good, good. I wasn't mistaken about anyone. Even if this matter is fraught with endless dangers. Still so simply agreed. Death's voice was visibly filled with excitement. Even he didn't expect that his inheritor would agree without hesitation after his brief explanation.

"It's dangerous, but I'm confident that your legacy will change my fate now." I said calmly, my eyes full of determination.

"I am satisfied with your answer. In that case, if you agree to accept my lineage, then I will first tell you what you should accomplish after accepting my lineage. ”

"You say, I'll do my best." I didn't say no. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Inheriting the legacy of the Grim Reaper, you will definitely inherit the abilities of the Grim Reaper. Some of his grievances and grievances will definitely be faced by himself in the future.

"I hope that after inheriting my powers, you will be able to completely unravel the origin of the Grim Reaper, and when you have enough power, you will be able to stand out in the battle of the gods. That's what I expect from you. You'll get to know the rest after you get my legacy. Are you ready to accept my legacy? Death said solemnly.

"Ready!" I nodded and said firmly.
