"Hey man, this is not a vacation."
My consciousness returned slowly. And the first thing I saw was the person who had me in this place. although perhaps calling him a person would not be so accurate.
with completely black eyes and a mouth that seemed to be stitched very badly. it was the look of someone who didn't convey much confidence. Not to mention his horns and that rare blood-colored hair. But his suit had style, in another situation maybe I would ask him for the address of his tailor.
"I'm already awake, but I have several complaints with the service, that's why people always prefer to go to heaven" I commented as I got up from the ground. I didn't have much of a choice anyway, so I kept my attitude positive while brushing off all the grime and blood from my clothes.
"Is it so? And I thought I was being a good host, and I let you sleep in the room where we torture the women who sinned in adultery, and I was going to invite you to see the next show," with a false disappointment, the entity that called himself the Devil wailed.
I wanted to refute the logic of that lunatic, but I would only waste my time, "I do not have that kind of fetish, but I appreciate the gesture" I do not mind being condemnatory, after seeing the atrocities of this place for a few months, it was best not to think too much, sanity could be quite fragile in this place.
"Funny as always, that's why I like you, so you can stay in this place as long as you want" with a gesture of kindness, the devil gave me a demonic smile.
(Not that I had many options) I gave a little sigh. But if you removed the terrible smell of putrefaction and suffocation, and much more, this place was not so bad. I'm not sure why I'm here anyway. Exactly, I'm not sure, it seems that part of my punishment is not knowing why I'm here, I have all my memories, but everything important is not there. I suppose my punishment is more psychological since I do not receive any kind of punishment. But that doesn't make it any less scary, since I've seen things that no one should see.
"So what do we have for today. And we could change today a bit, since several days of amputations and cannibalism can be quite repetitive" the only good thing was that I did not need to eat or sleep, but sleeping was one of the few pleasures of this place.
"Actually, I was about to invite you to an orgy, I have some new maids, and they are completely virgins, and I wanted to share that privilege with my dear guest. ... that would be you"
(Of course, they are virgins, they are your experiments with rapists), now it did not seem so unlucky to have reached the wrong room. Thinking that I might be fooled made me want to throw up.
"I'll have to pass this time, and every time you suggest it" I wanted to see the gluttons explode for food, it was most entertaining by the standards of this place. Because if I just closed my eyes the devil would lead me to see something that was not good for my sanity.
"....." I was expecting another sick joke. But surprisingly today was the first time the devil had a thoughtful look.
something was about to happen, I just hope it's not crazy.
"I guess it's about time, I'll tell you directly, Your situation is quite special, and although having someone to talk to is fun. I still have to do my job, and I'm sure it will be much more fun" with a smile the devil he put his arm around me.
I dodged it and backed away. My head started to ache, nothing good could come out of that bastard's mouth, "and what could it be?" ask reluctantly.
"don't look at me that way, people might think I'm a bad guy"
"...."
the devil ignored my gaze and continued, "After these years this got boring, and I feel like your soul is being wasted in this place. And as a being of pure grace and love, I want to give you that famous opportunity to reincarnate."
That was good news, so I decided to forget the fact that the devil said I've been in this place for years. Some things were better not knowing.
suppress any emotion to leave this place and spoke calmly, "Tell me where I have to sign"
a smile that showed its sharp fangs formed in the devil's face, "That is the spirit. But you have to understand that we are in hell and there are some limitations" a flame formed that the next second became a notebook. " Here is the wish list with their respective prices, everything you can imagine is there "
I touched the cover of the book, and it felt quite slimy, but something quite common in this place. I started reading from the beginning, and whatever I imagined would appear. pretty easy to use. But in just 5 minutes I closed the book and returned it.
"I don't think this place isn't that bad" I decided to leave that issue behind and try to continue with my life if it could be called that way.
"Wait, I know that at first glance it looks bad. But the reincarnation cycle is somewhat complicated. But I also bring benefits, I'm not like those old bastards who reincarnate any good guy with various wishes without telling them the truth after that. "The devil stood in front of me as he rolled puppy eyes.
thank god he had nothing in his stomach because I was vomiting. But now I hear something interesting.
"By those bastards you mean some kind of god?" I asked as I took a step back.
"Exactly, these guys reincarnate many people, but they never reveal the whole truth, with some good wishes and some broken system they forget to see beyond" the devil snapped his fingers and made a table appear with a chair for each one.
I sat down to hear more, "Are you telling me that those stories where someone dies and has a lot of good karma have a chance of meeting a god and reincarnating?" I remember reading several of those stories when I was alive.
"It is a common practice, the gods always create new universes. But they cannot reign in those universes, so they send someone to do the hard work and steal part of their divinity to become more powerful, it is much worse if they have a system since it is a way to link their souls and thus be able to steal more power. Not to mention the goddesses, I will not say much, but I would not trust someone who falls in love with just a simple phrase "a smile formed in the devil's face to think about the unwary who believed those bitches who called themselves goddesses
Believing the devil was the dumbest thing in the universe, but I couldn't deny that possibility right away either.
"Let's say I believe you, that does not remove the fact that you want to reincarnate me with conditions where my life expectancy does not exceed 5 years" I did not want to complain, but with my negative karma points it was fortunate that I was born as a human.
"What did you expect friend, the reincarnation cycle is not for people like you. But you know ....., with the appropriate conditions I could make an exception" the devil said as he pulled out another contract.
every cell in my body told me that nothing good could come of making a deal with the devil. But as a man of options, I took the contract and gave it a shot.
it only takes a few minutes to finish reading, including the fine print.
"So you want me to murder reincarnated people and steal their souls so that you can steal the spark of divinity left behind by the gods?" It didn't exactly say the contract, but it was my best translation. The devil loved to mess things up.
"Kikiki" the devil was trying not to laugh too much. "Basically that. At the cost of condemning innocent souls, I can make some change, a fair deal, right?"
I thought about it a bit, and it seemed like a fair deal, the life of a stranger did not care, but it was still not enough.
"I can accept that, but it will depend on how much you can do for me" making a deal with the devil would be in the top 3 of stupid things to do, but I'm not very demanding.
The devil began to think about his words, reincarnation was not in his jurisdiction, since any soul that reaches hell was not allowed to return to the cycle of reincarnation, but there was always some way.
"You can use your karma points in another way, I give you an example. Normally you would need good karma to reincarnate in a rich family, but it would be different if you asked to reincarnate in a rich family where you are a hindrance and your life would be in constant danger because of an internal struggle. Under that premise, there is a legal hole that you can use. But with your negative karma, it will be something complicated. But if you accept my deal I not only guarantee that you will be reborn as a human, but I will also look for a place that gives you the best opportunities "
the devil could only shake his head as he thought of the difficulties I will begin with.
I guess I had a few options, but the main question was still missing.
"But before I sign anything, I want to know why I, I'm sure everyone in hell would accept this kind of opportunity" was my honest thought. I didn't know if the devil would tell the truth, but at least I had to try.
"That's quite an interesting question, but you asked me to erase your memories. And you would understand if you recovered all your memory. But in short, your situation is a bit special"
my eyebrow rose, and although I just received information that could change everything. but something inside me did not want to know, sometimes ignorance was a precious gift. And since I'm in hell I don't think it's any good.
And anyway I have the opportunity to reincarnate, the rest could be a problem for another day.
"Then I accept, but I will need time, you also have to tell me how to look for those reincarnated people" I put my worries aside and took the contract.
the devil only made a terrifying smile while displaying those sharp fangs. It was as if I rubbed my stupid decision, but maybe it was because of things like this that I came to this place.
I think I will go to a chapter every day, it depends on how things go.
be warning that he is a quite selfish Mc.
If you expect a story from a hero who will always keep the world safe, you are in the wrong place.
They will also help me with power stones to stay motivated, as well as a good review.
