At the entrance to the underworld, another Grim Reaper named Kangrim awaits Ja-hong, and will serve as his lawyer throughout the seven trials. The three Grim Reapers have received a promise from the king of the underworld that if they are able to reincarnate 49 righteous humans in 1,000 years, they will also be able to be reincarnated as humans again, and they have high hopes that Ja-hong may be the rare person who is certain to be reincarnated.
