Some may call fireflies lights of hope, a spark of love and good omens. But here in the upper realm, fireflies merely symbolise death. Once fireflies start to light up to the sky, that could only mean a creature they call human is about to die. Fireflies are just souls that I devour; they're just merely sinners, pathetic and disgusting souls that I collect. I, Kuroshina, the grim reaper of the upper realm, is the epitome of death itself.
It's a very tiresome job so sometimes, I find myself torturing them until they look tasty enough to eat.
But all changed when humanity faced its doom.
When all the fireflies sputter in the wind, I met her. The one even death himself is afraid of.

There's always a part of the story that is covered with pure ashes and specks of dust. Like no one ever really wants to tell the truth. At yon ang masakit. Sa part ko bilang isang tao na may kakayahang pumaslang ng demonyo, ang sakit na malamang ang pinagsisilbihan namin ay hindi namin makita pero ang mga kalaban namin ay kitang kita. We serve the Gods and Goddesses along with their angels. They give us a task and then we go do it. What are the tasks? To kill the demons. The sad part? We don't know why we should kill. Why do we even have to do this if the angels are powerful enough to kill them all for once? Heto na nga ang story ko! Nung bata pa ako neto. Yung lagi akong habulin ng problema o kaya aksidente. Kung saan ako pumupunta, may nangyayaring hindi maganda or siguro nagkakataon lang kasi nung bata ako sa tuwing may naririnig akong bumubulong sa tenga ko na para bang inuutusan ako, sinusunod ko agad. Pero ang hinding hindi ko malilimutan ang nakita ko mismo yung gumagawa ng gulo. Hindi tulad nung mga mas nauna, hindi ko nakikita yung mga halimaw na gumagawa non pero nung araw na yon, natigil ang mundo ko. " The sweetness of bad is the bitterness of destiny."Complete
