The Reap: A world between the living and hell, a realm that is filled with people who died with a deep regrets, they would be trapped in an eternal space of torture, constant reminder of their deepest fear.

A man with the name "Grim" was trapped in that world. The world of endless pain. He couldn't handle the suffering. All the constant voice screaming, All the echoing. He tried searching for a way to escape, but there was no way out...no way except for one

A reaper is someone who had left The Reap for a job, the job of collecting souls. And if they are able to gather enough souls of the living, they are able to be reincarnated. Reincarnated away from The Reap realm. And live their lives once again with the living.

"Are you sure about accepting this?" The reaper king asked grim.The rules of becoming a Reaper is that they need to collect the souls according to the reaper king, and NEVER let any life acknowledge you as a reaper. And if they break any of these rules, they will be sent to hell, a place more horrifying than the reap. Grim was already on the verge of breaking down. He was afraid of returning to The Reap. So without a single second thought-"I accept". He had nothing to lose after all.

Grim transformed into a Reaper after that, and started hunting souls. He was very efficient. He could get a soul in relatively fast speed. He couldn't stand the horror of killing someone at first. However, as time went by and countless lives were taken, Grim had slowly lost his interest in humanity, his love for humans was fading, and he became cold and merciless. Directly killing the living so that they won't even know his existent- is the action he took for every soul.

It had been a long time since then. Centuries have passed. The world had changed. And Grim was finally on his last soul. A soul named Enedina

Enedia was a young girl. She lives in a small shed near the forest. It was quiet there, the grass was green and the air was fresh. She was living in peace there, self sustaining through art works she drew, Without much worries, happily. And grim is going to take her away from this heaven.

Grim slowly emerged from the reap to the living."Last soul: Enedina" Grim told himself. He felt a sense of accomplishment of finally making it this far. "This will be easy" He thought. All he had to do, was to reap the girl. One Simple Reap and it would be all over.

However, the reaper king had a strange order for this special soul. He said "Remove all her regret before reaping her." it was a strange request. Grim didn't know the point of that order but in order to reincarnate, he had to follow it.

"So the plan is to pretend to be human, slowly understand her, then after removing the regret she might have, it would be all over." Grim made that plan. Being a reaper granted them the ability to transform into a human. But since Grim never needed it, he never did.For the first time, He transforms himself to look like a normal human being. This was his final quest. So he has to be as careful as possible.

But the moment Grim transformed into a human, he felt an indescribable sense of hunger. Haven't eaten in more than a few centuries, grim felt extremely hungry. Even though he wouldn't die of starvation, the sensation of it was enough to feel like death. "help..."

"Hmm?" Enedina heard a voice behind her. She turns around quickly and to her surprise, she finds a man. He seemed as if he would fall over at any second. He was shaking and was begging for help. Enedina rushed over to help the man. "Are you okay?" Enedina asked. The man said with a weak whisper "Food..."

After some thinking,Enedina brought the man back to her shed. She put him onto the chair and brought the man some food."Here." Enedina said while bringing out some bread. Upon smelling the fragrance of bread, the man started gobbling it up. "*munch munch*". The man kept eating and eating until his hunger was satisfied. After finishing, the man realized what he did, and started to apologies to Enedina."Sorry, i just haven't eaten in a long time". "No no,it's okay, you seemed like you were starving." She replied. The man and Enedina stayed quiet. Until the girl asked "Em, May i have your name?". "Grim."the man responded."Oh, that's a nice name.I'm Enedina."Enedina replied. Grim accidentally stumbled into the girl's life, and luckily, didn't starve to death

"This might be easier than I thought," Grim whispers to himself.
