"Huh?" Jake was confused when he heard his name from his mouth. What did he mean by a mistake in his case?

When the grim reaper saw that Jake had heard his words, he gasped and closed his mouth using his hand before turning away from him.

He took a few steps away from him and whispered through his phone, "What are you speaking about? Are you sure that this is a mistake? How can you make such a novel mistake? Is your department filled with no one but all idiots now?"

"What? Why did you leave all your work to that idiot? You know how he is and yet you gave the work to him?" The grim reaper was very furious as he barked at the person on the other side of the phone.

"Just shut up. I am definitely going to report you to the boss later. I have to deal with this matter now. I will deal with you later," With that he hung up on the call and gritted his teeth.

After controlling his anger, he turned his head back and looked at Jake who raised his eyebrows and was looking at him keenly.

Of course Jake caught a point or two from his expressions and his words. But that only made him more curious about what exactly happened instead of a good understanding.

He wanted to ask him but sadly his mouth was still blocked by the rope and thus couldn't speak even if he wanted. All he could do was raise his eyebrows showing that he was questioning about the situation.

The grim reaper took a few steps forward and slowly released Jake from his binds, finally freeing him.

Jake stood up straight and placed his hands on his hips while looking at the man whose face was filled with a thick layer of guilt, "So? What is going on now?"

"Umm, Jake Robberfeld," The Grim Reaper tried to speak.

"Tsk, Call me Jake," Jake clicked his tongue and ordered him. He understood that he was now in a higher position somehow when he looked at the guilt on the man's face. Hence he even raised his voice like a boss ordering his subordinate.

"Oh! Okay okay. Jake, you want to continue your sleep, right? You can go back to sleep," He tried to calm this human before he told him to go back to sleep.

"Go back to sleep? How do I look like to you? A damn sleeping machine? Dude, did you go crazy when I jumped down the building? From which angle do you think that I am still in a mood to sleep, huh? Anyway, I can see that you are trying to hide something from me. Just tell me directly what it was." Jake did not lower his stance and asked him directly.

"I am hiding something? No. There is nothing. Since you wanted to go back to sleep so badly, I just wanted you to do that like a good person. That's all."

"A good person? From when did a Grim Reaper turn into a good person, huh? Didn't you say something like I had to follow the rules, fate or whatever that was said to me or something? What happened now? Why do you want to fulfill my wish now? What exactly are you hiding? What would happen if I go back to sleep?" Jake asked another set of questions pointing at the man in front who was sweating profusely.

"What would happen? There would be nothing that is going to change. You are now in a dream. So once you go back to sleep and wake up, you would go back to your normal daily life. Just like how you were before you slept. No change. Yes nothing would change," The grim reaper spoke hurriedly. In the end it was not exactly clear if he was explaining to Jake or if he was consoling himself that there would really be no change.

Jake was confused by his sudden change of behavior in front of him. He tilted his head and asked him, "So if I go back to sleep, once I wake up everything would turn back to normal?"

"Yes yes yes. That is right. Now don't delay this any longer and go back to sleep," he started urging him frantically.

Though Jake did not understand what was going on exactly, he still nodded his head. As long as everything would go back to normal there is nothing he would lose.

Hence he turned around and saw that he was in the hospital ward that was beside the operation theatre from which he jumped earlier.

He calmly walked towards the hospital bed in the room and sat on it before going to lie on it.

Before he could lean his body on the bed, the grim reaper once again shouted at him, "Jake Robberfeld, what are you doing?"

Jake was scared for a second when he made such a sudden sound. He gritted his teeth and looked at the man that just almost caused him to have a heart attack, "Firstly, Call me Jake. And another point, don't you see what I am doing? I am going to sleep just like you told me to do. What is your problem now?"

The grim reaper looked at Jake and shook his head, "No no, Jaker Robb.." Before he could continue saying his full name, he received a warning glare from Jake making him stop midway. "Um, I mean, Jake. You have to go back to sleep, yes, but you can't sleep here."

"Dude, why do you care about where I sleep? This is a dream anyway. Once I wake up, I will wake up in my own hospital bed. So who cares?"

"No, no, Jake Robb.. Jake, you shouldn't be sleeping here if you want to wake up again."

"What the fuck are you saying? Are you trying to use different methods to kill me? You are now saying that I won't be able to wake up again? How dare you change your words in front of me, huh?" Jake was furious as he stood up and glared directly at the man with his anger filled eyes.
