Jake had already started making plans for his escape from the hospital before someone could identify him or before the hospital authorities would ask him to pay for his medical fees.

There is a window in his ward and his eyes sharply fell over it. From whatever he could see from his bed, the floor at which he was staying should be at least the twenty first floor.

As his bones were fractured, it may be difficult for him to jump over immediately but after some recuperation, it would not be a big deal.

But he can't take any more chances and stay at the hospital for too long.

Hence he decided to leave the next day after a whole day of rest and treatment from the first class doctor; the one who always laid his hands over his beautiful nurse.

If possible, Jake even planned to throw a punch at the doctor once before leaving and his plan was ready in his mind.

All he had to wait now was for a chance. A single chance to take his action. Gaining such a chance was as simple as snapping fingers to the world famous thief like Jake.

He was set to wake up the next morning and start his course of action. Before that he decided to get a long rest and slept peacefully. But he also used the quilt to cover his entire face so that no one would look at his face accidentally when he was asleep.

"Jake Robberfeld, it is time for you to follow me." Jake heard a deep voice when he was sleeping.

"Don't disturb me," Jake waved his hands away to dismiss the person who was disturbing his sleep and he turned his body away from the voice before going back to his sleep.

"Jake Robberfeld. I repeat, it is time for you to follow me." The same voice was heard again and Jake was really angry for getting disturbed when he was peacefully sleeping.

He raised his quilt and covered his ears tightly so that the sound of his voice couldn't reach his ears anymore.

"Jake Robberfeld, you have no more time to spare in this world. Please cooperate and follow me immediately without any more delay." The voice still penetrated through his quilt easily and reached the depth of his eardrums.

The deep voice somehow made him shiver a little but his anger for being disturbed during his lovely nap time overtook the feeling of this fear in an instant.

"Bro, just leave me alone. Let me sleep for a while alright?" After that he went back to his sleep.

The deep voice from earlier sounded once more but with so much pressure in it, "Jake Robberfeld."

Jake got so angry that she instantly sat up on his bed and looked at a person standing beside him, "Bro, can you stop calling me by my full name. Which era did you come from? Just call me Jake. And who the hell are you? Do I even know you? Why are you disturbing my sleep here? Don't you have any other work?"

"I am someone whom you have never met before. The people in your world address me as a Grim Reaper. Now I request you to calmly follow me without any more delay." The man spoke calmly without being affected by the anger he was directed to.

Jake looked at the silhouette of the man standing in the dark room and blinked his eyes a couple of times, "Grim reaper?"

"Hmm," the man nodded his head.

Jake blinked his eyes again, "Oh! Hello, nice to meet you. Anyway, whatever work you have with me, everything will be done tomorrow morning after I wake up. Now let me sleep. Bye bye. Good night." With that he once again laid down and used his hand to raise his quilt to cover his face once again.

The grim reaper was dumbfounded by the weird reaction he just received from this human. In his centuries of experience, every human that got to know his identity had cried, begged him not to take them and made a scene to not leave and many others.

But not a single person had reacted as casually as Jake Robberfeld had done.

Just what type of a man was he?

He sighed before opening his mouth again to speak again, "Jake Robberfeld, I hereby inform you that you are already dead and your soul doesn't belong to this world any longer. Hence I hope you cooperate and follow me to the next world."

The grim reaper's new words shocked the about-to-sleep Jake as his eyes shot open at once. He sat on his bed and shouted at the man in front of him, "What nonsense are you speaking? How dare you say that I am dead? I am still fine and alive. My beautiful nurse had already informed me very sweetly and clearly that I am out of danger miraculously and I can even be discharged later. Don't try to act in front of me. Just get out now."

The Grim reaper sighed once again and spoke calmly, "Just look around you once. Look at where you are sleeping now before you say anything to me."

"Of course I am sleeping on my hospital bed. Where else would I be?" While saying that, Jake turned his head and looked around. But as soon as his eyes fell upon his surroundings, his eyes widened as large as a pair of saucers. "What the fuck is going on here?"
