Can Even a Grim Reaper Be Possessed? Prologue

# Prologue

Fucked. He didn’t want to use such a crude word, but no other term could properly express what he was feeling right now. Literally, it was a fucked situation.

“……”

Mua stared at his reflection in the mirror with an absurd expression. Anyone who knows what a grim reaper is would already sense a powerful aura of ‘fuckedness’ from this point on.

Normally, grim reapers have almost no reason to look at their own reflection in a mirror. Occasionally, when retaliating against humans out of personal feelings—that is, when they want to torment humans—they might show their reflection in a mirror to make humans scream in terror, but what business does a being who collects the souls of the dead have looking in mirrors?

In truth, even when humans behaved rather nastily, there weren’t many psycho reapers who would do such things, and Mua wasn’t that kind of psycho. Yet right now, Mua’s appearance was clearly reflected in the mirror.

That wasn’t the only problem. The appearance of Mua reflected in the mirror was also quite strange.

Among grim reapers, some insist on the classic dopo robe attire, and others wear modernly reinterpreted reaper uniforms—similar in form to human suits—but no one goes around collecting souls wearing a hospital gown.

That’s right. Mua was currently wearing a hospital gown. And in a human body, at that.

It wasn’t even his own face. The appearance reflected in the mirror was, astonishingly, that of the soul he had been trying to collect before losing consciousness. A young face that looked soft enough to see peach fuzz, fluffy and lovely—a human face.

When he first saw the mole under his right eye, he thought something was stuck there and even rubbed it with his finger. It was a face that unfamiliar to Mua.

With a pallor from the accident, Mua blinked at the mirror and desperately wanted to run to the Afterlife to ask.

Excuse me, Lord Yeomra. So… can grim reapers also… be possessed?

Of course, Mua, who had possessed the body of Shin Mua, a human who had the same name as him, could neither go to the Afterlife nor communicate with Yeomra. So, if we were to summarize this absurd incident in one word with effort—it meant he was fucked.

Then how exactly did things get so fucked? Let’s trace back through those memories now.

Can Even a Grim Reaper Be Possessed?

Status: Ongoing Released: 2 Free Chapter Every Wednesday
Mua, a grim reaper famous for despising humans, was one day swept up by an unknown force and possessed the body of a human named "Shin Mua." Realizing there was some conspiracy that went against the natural order, Mua begins to uncover the plot together with Cheon Jieon, the contracted marriage partner of "Shin Mua," the owner of the body he possessed. Facing countless crises that traverse between the afterlife and the living world, the two transcend their relationship of love-hate and loathing to save each other. *** Fucked. He didn't want to use such a crude word, but no other word could properly express the emotion he was feeling right now. Literally, it was a fucked situation. Looking at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, pale from shock and only blinking, Mua wanted to run to the afterlife right now and ask: Excuse me, Lord Yeomra. So, can even grim reapers... be possessed? *** "Fine, whatever. Let's say you being a grim reaper, that's true. But why do you hate humans so much?" "Humans are..." And at that moment when Shin Mua opened his mouth to answer— Jieon was startled and raised his head at the chilling energy that instantly engulfed his entire body. It was strange. Clearly, the living room was filled with sunlight pouring in through the large windows, but it felt like a very deep shadow was cast only where Shin Mua stood. Jieon reflexively blinked. Yet the darkness surrounding Mua didn't disappear. Am I going crazy? Have I been listening to so much crazy talk that I'm going crazy too? Is this aftereffects from the accident? Wearing the darkness like a ceremonial robe, Shin Mua said: "Humans are truly filthy and selfish, beings who can trample on others at any time for their own benefit." "......" "How could I endure without hating such humans?" Jieon could only stare at Mua, unable to move even a fingertip, like someone suffering from sleep paralysis while sitting. He wanted to look away, but he couldn't even move his eyes as he wished. "So from now on, never let the words telling me to pretend to be human leave your mouth again. Just imagining it makes me nauseous." "......" "Understood?" Mua urged Jieon for an answer, but Jieon couldn't produce his voice according to his own will. All Jieon could do was barely nod his head slightly.
