I could feel a cold shiver go down my back as the figure finished speaking just those three words. I had no clue what was about to happen but whatever it was I was ready for it, no matter the cost.
The silence around us was getting weird, he wasn't talking and I had no clue what to say, it would have been different if I was talking to anyone else but talking to the king of hell, well that was a different story.
Since the room was pitch black I had no clue where this man was or what he looked like, nothing in his voice gave away anything about him. I just stood there like a lamb stunned in shock of seeing a lion, but as soon as I was about to move my bracelet a bit on my hand I could feel a cold breath on the back of my neck. I could feel my body tensing up and my thoughts going wild.
When the hell did he get there and how did I not notice the sound of his footsteps, I thought to myself.
Just before I was going to say something he gave a small chuckle, "So you're the angel that wanted to be with the demons. Tell me this why would you of all people want to be here instead of that awful place up there?"
Before I could answer I had realized that he had just summed up my thoughts on the above world, it was a disgusting place and it just wasn't meant for me.
"It's not the place for me and it really is awful up there," was all I said.
Now that my eyes had adjusted to the darkness I could finally see this man figure, he was by far taller than god and of course he had two horns on the top of his head. I could see the red glow in his eyes and a small smirk appear on his face as he took in what I had just said.
During that moment I had no clue what was going on or how even to react, all I could really do was just stand there with a blank expression.
"Well, dearie since you're here and you are not a sinner I don't really have any use for you," he spoke in a cold tone.
"I" was the only thing I could make out before he started speaking again, "Ah wait there is one task I can get you to do! Yes, you will be a reaper."
He had a smirk on his face as he walked over to a pit of what looked like lava but was actually just a pit of water as it seemed.
As he stuck his full arm into this pit I could see his eyes light up a bright red, brighter than a new fire truck.
When he finally took his arm out I could see he was holding some sort of demon-like thing, "Ah yes this will be the perfect demon for you, this little thing right here is what will make it so you can be amongst the living, but be careful don't get out of control or else this thing will go haywire and there will be no way of controlling it, do you understand?" he gave me a death type of glare as he was speaking.
I quickly gave him a smirk before asking the million-dollar question, "Ok what do you want in return, everything comes at a price."
Watching as he taped his figure on his chin I waited for his answer, "Ah see the only thing I need you to do is bring me a sinner every day by midnight. but if you fail me once well then ill have to send you either back to the awful place above or the tenth level of hell. Do we have a deal dearie?"
I did want to be in the overworld again but was it worth killing a person every day even if they were a sinner? wouldn't that make me a sinner of killing them or would I just have to carry around the guilt with me every day forever?
This was the hardest choice I've had to make in my whole life but in the end, it was worth it, I get to see my family again, my friends, live in the world again like a normal person.
"I- I will take your deal," I spoke with the full approval of myself
He gave out a small chuckle then handed me a pen and a contract, "here's everything you need."
I was getting ready to sign just as he spoke again, "Oh I forgot to tell you something, you'll have no memory of who you were or any people you knew, whoopsie." right as he finished I had already written my name before any of that could process into my brain.
just as ut sunk in the contract was gone and in a glass case above the throne.
I could feel the demon heading throughout my body trying to find a good place to stay as it felt, the feeling of my horn shrinking gave me great pain, I could see that y hair went fully black and a new pair of clothing appeared in my arms.
I looked down at the clothing and then back at him, before I knew it the clothing was already swapped, and I was already down on the street of new york.
"welp I guess it's time to figure this stuff out and somehow remember who the hell I was and how I died."
