Our journey was not brief but it felt very short. Lucifer proved to be a useful addition to our cause. He rallied the troops, made the plan and commenced the attack.I was just a placeholder. Lucifer was the mouthpiece. Alina played the negotiator. For a while, I thought to myself, why was I so hell bent on breaking out of hell?It was not to become a leader. I never wanted to lead them into war. I just wanted peace. I wanted to unravel the mysterious circumstances of my life.I wanted to find out why my love never came true. Finding Alina already answered all of those questions. I had nothing more to gain. But when I came to, I was holding God’s head in my hand.I had beheaded the one who created me. I killed God and held his head. I raised his head above to show everyone that I have triumphed. When did I kill God? I don’t remember. I just remember that I went to speak with Lucifer about the whole movement.Allies were cheering. They were going crazy over their achieved victory. Luc

The ride was long and boring. I got some more answers from Alina.“Your soul bears a stigma from your past life. A curse which was inflicted upon you by a witch. That witch is no more. Not even her soul remains but that’s exactly why your curse lingers even in your new life.The afterlife or the hell is a system which purifies the soul. Your soul should be cleansed after being punished in hell. That’s how it goes.The witch held a grudge so deeply against you that she went this far. She used her own soul as payment for your curse. It’s abnormally potent. When I saw you in my visions, I started searching for you. That’s when I saw your soul bearing the curse. As things stood, your soul was vanishing too. I had to step in and make sure your soul lived.That’s why your original personality got masked under the protection I put on your soul. Now your original personality is speaking.” (Alina)“True that the previous me does not feel like myself at all. It was as if my body was possessed.

After her confession and my acceptance, we stayed in limbo. She would train with me, teach me how to use my powers, give me knowledge about her father and the system and tell me about creation itself.It didn’t feel bad. I was calm, collected and logical. I did feel that logic would hinder my ability to love as it made me a bit shy.Alina didn’t mind it. She explained what she did to me when I was alive.“You were originally supposed to be the quiet and brooding type. You would were to be cynical, logical and aloof. However you would attract a lot of girls if I had left you like that. So I changed your personality a bit. I changed it to how you acted. That made you likable but also diverted any girls from getting too close to you.” (Alina)“So, I am back to how I am supposed to be?”“Yes. Honestly, your soul carries a little too many thoughts. I am not saying I don’t like you. Now, you are more like a serious child than a cheerful one. I quite like it.” (Alina)Our conversations woul

My next torture was flogging. I would be flogged by the torturers infinitely for an indefinite period. But I made a dash for the entrance of the layer the moment I was out of the vat. I found out that day that the guards of hell were actually pretty weak.If I have to sum it up, the guards of hell were as strong as a regular human. They were humanoid but had totally different looks.They were grotesque to say the least. Even a glance at them would give you nightmares for days.Looking at them for so long, I became accustomed to their looks. At first, I couldn’t differentiate between them. Eventually I got the hang of it and I started to notice their individual differences.I tried talking to them but they do not have their own will. They were like flesh dolls with primitive commands.Their jobs were following the schedule and guarding hell. I pushed them into the vat and dashed towards the entrance. Many guards came for me but my body was different somehow.I was stronger than the g

Let’s go back in time a bit. I was in hibernation but the timer ran out. I had a rude awakening. My consciousness was dizzy and memories were jumbled. It was similar to a hangover. I was lost in my thoughts, trying to piece together my memories. It was painful as if my life had changed. Then I slowly remembered what had happened. I went from being a hopeless romantic to being branded as a heretic and executed. It didn’t end there. I went from being in the afterlife to being thrown in the deepest layer of hell. All of this happened because I was in love. I had a lot of time there. I had some companions to keep me company down in hell. I cooled my head. It’s both metaphorical and literal. The deepest layer of hell, Niflheim, was a cold place. The average temperature ranged from absolute zero to even lower than that. In the third dimension, it would have been impossible due to the physical limitations of the dimensions but Niflheim transcended dimensions. It was possible. The col

The situation is pretty dicey. Every creator is confused. Azathoth has gone missing. I will not take any direct actions and primordial creators are coming out, one after the other.I may be called Constant but even I didn’t expect this outcome. Azathoth was asking questions that were rather troublesome to answer.I didn’t want to deal with the fallout so I just ignored him. For some unknown reason, Chthulu thought I had a plan. She went ahead talked about my nonexistent plan to others.“She really is a go getter, isn’t she?”“So much so that it even shocks me from time to time.”My partner is taunting me. But she is right! I should have been more forthright. I kept hiding things and it became weird.I should have told Chthulu that I had no plans whatsoever. She assumed that I had one since I answered her questions with silence.Silence doesn’t mean agreement but it becomes open ended. Chthulu always took my silence as my approval. It didn’t affect us much so I never bothered to make i

(Bruce side)I have left his home. That man, David, is like my elder brother. I am a single child so don’t have a blood relation with him but I consider him my brother. We met a while back. He was 18 and I was 15 when we met. I also met Henry at the same time. Henry was but a child back then. We felt a bond between us. Henry started calling us big brothers. David said why not! And we became brothers. This brotherhood between us is strong. We three are from different parents but we three are brothers.David has a daughter now. She is 18 and will graduate from high school soon. We were visiting David like normal but midway through, his daughter started eavesdropping on us.Both I and Henry noticed it but David didn’t. More like he couldn’t. The situation is a bit complicated so I will leave that for later.I am riding my bike with Henry behind me. I will drop Henry at his destination. That’s how I planned it but I saw my wife.We were driving down the road where my wife’s office is. I

Many would say that I am unfortunate. Because I don’t have a mother. I have never thought of myself as such. Why? The reason is simple. I have my father. He is a good father. That much I can say with no doubt. He is good enough to be even my mother. He is both at the same time.As a girl, I understand that not having a mother is sad. It can be upsetting. But my father never let me feel that way.He has been by my side. He played both parts so well that I never noticed the lack of a mother. For me to be born as his daughter, I think of myself to be fortunate.He raised me alone. But I cannot find a single thing unsatisfactory. Never has he performed badly. Whenever I needed something, I got it. Before I could even ask him, he gave it to me. If it was hard for me to bring up, he would take a guess and give it to me. There are times when men falter. But my father did not.He took utmost care of me. Why am I saying so many things about my father?I’ll be 18 soon. I am already in my 3rd

“Why? Why did this happen to me?” Our main character groans. He is sitting on a park bench alone and groaning at the setting sun. His appearance is normal. He does not have any memorable qualities.But life has not been easy for him. He has faced many difficulties. He had to pay for himself. His father died a few years ago. His mother is also dead as of a month ago. He is now an orphan who has no one in the world. His relatives? No, he was not in touch with them. And out of sight, out of mind. They have forgotten about him.He was preparing for such a possibility. But nothing went his way. He is only 28 years old. But he is penniless.All his money were spent to treat his mother but in the end, she died. He only has a single hundred dollars bill.That is his entire fortune. As a kid, he was pessimistic. He never socialized and didn’t try to make friends. So he is truly alone in this entire world.“What should I do now? I was kicked out of another job and this makes the third in a ro

*Sigh* Our main character sighs. It was a sigh of regret. Because he is getting divorced soon. He is standing outside his in-law’s house. “What did I ever do to deserve this?” He asks himself because this divorce hit him quite hard. He was not expecting a divorce all of a sudden. But he presses the doorbell. A woman in her late 50’s opens the door. “Hello, mother.” He can only greet her with a regretful smile. She also has a painful look on her face. No one was expecting this. He followed her inside to the drawing room where everyone was present. He sees his father in law and sister in law with his soon to be divorced wife. He is a man in his mid 30’s and an Associate Professor of English at a public university. By no means he is a bad person. On the contrary people have a good impression of him. His wife is also a beautiful woman. She has a job and is independent. They did not fight often and were on good terms. They were married for 6 years and were pretty happy. However

I am currently with Constant. We are headed for the human world.“I say the human world but it was actually created by one of the humans. There exists a plenty of human worlds. This is just one of them.” (Constant)He said that and now we are walking through a portal he created.The portal left us at a field. It’s a normal field. “This is a world that was created by one of my friends. This is also my first time coming here. Let’s find a city or town.” (Constant)We both start walking. The area is nice. It’s sunny but not hot. The wind is gently blowing caressing my whole body. Somehow, I get the feeling that I know this sensation.After walking for about 15 minutes, we arrive at a small town. It looks like a medieval town. Stone houses and stone paved roads. It has proper water drainage system and the town’s folk look clean. “The town is called Solomon. It is named after a wise king. Today is supposed to be a festival. But what, I don’t know.” (Constant)So a festival. The town is k

After he got ready, we left that place. I don’t know where that is but we left it anyway. He tapped on a portion of the wall and it opened revealing a spiral portal.“Off we go.” He said and jumped into it. I also did. Portals like this are basically connected to a random place. I don’t know where I would end up at.After coming out, I see a residential area, I think. Concrete road, houses on each sides and a pond. Seriously, a pond. This is the first time, I am seeing an open pond.I find Constant sitting on a bench by the pond. The pond is kinda green. And it’s dirty.“See, this is the area I spent my childhood in.” (Constant)“Hoohhh…then you grew up here?”“Yes. It holds a special meaning to me. Behind us is a library. It doesn’t look like it though.” (Constant)He points at a pink building. It has something written on it but I can’t read that. I sit by him. Despite being dirty, this pond is kinda calming.“You see, to our left is my school.” (Constant)He pointed to our left and

After the entire fiasco with the king, I was thinking of taking it easy. I was sitting on the couch with everyone. Fiona is home as she took rest of the day off. "Master, you should stop acting so arbitrarily." (Hazel)"She is right honey. You should consider what you are doing." (Aura)"But I had to stop anything else from happening. Which is why, I got caught and made sure they don't mess with us anymore." "Your move could've backfired , you know?" (Fay)"After what I did to your father and Apollo, I don't think I have to worry about your father. Jupiter might try to do something but that's manageable." I was in total relaxation mode. It was evening and the dinner was being prepared.But suddenly, Samantha appeared out of nowhere."Clive, get ready. The demon king is coming." (Samantha)Her words were not what I was expecting. The demon king, as in that kid, was coming. "Is that true?" "Yes. I gave you the heads up. I'm leaving now. I don't want her to see me." (Samantha)And s

I, Delphine McNair, am currently walking through the enemy territory. Something like this normally impossible but my mother has brought me here along with my maid Sasha.It's evening so not a lot of people are out. My mother did cast perception blocking magic on us. They can't see us anyway."Mother, where are we going?""To see the person who was rude enough to abduct you in your sleep." She apathetically says. But I think she is somewhat angry. And after walking for a while, we stop in front of a house. It's a normal stone house. Mother knocks on the door and a woman opens the door. She has blonde hair and a beautiful face. She looks around my mother's age."Yes, how may I help you?" She asks us. But what will mother say to her? Before my mother says something, a man comes and stands behind the blonde woman."Fiona, I will take it from here." He says and the woman goes inside."I didn't think you would come here, demon king. So, why did you come here?" He asks me. He knows who

I have this inexplicable feeling that's been sticking to my mind. When did it start? I think it started a couple days ago. When I woke up in the morning, I had traces of mana on me. It was unfamiliar and strong. The mana disappeared soon after but what could have happened during the night? I asked my maid and other guards who were on night duty but nothing of note happened according to them. They didn't notice anything. Who should I ask then? I have a meeting after this. I prepare myself. Being an heir to the throne sure is tiring. My father who was the king has died and I am the only heir. I can't even abdicate the throne. However I am just 15 years old. How could I rule a country which is currently at war with a human country? I know that a lot of factions have come together to overthrow me and usurp the throne. But as the current ruler of this nation, it is my duty to protect it from harm. "Are you listening to me, my lady?"My maid shakes me. I come back to my senses. Well, I

This time, our protagonist has encountered the king and the god who vowed his revenge against Clive. But being the cheat Clive is, he breezed through them. More like, the king probably has PTSD of what Clive did to him. Even Apollo, the ever so proud son of the god king, has fallen into depression. Because, he was knocked out in one punch. What Clive did was truly mean and unbelievable! No one would even believe it if they hadn't witnessed it firsthand. Trevor was starting to get used to Clive. Gwen did put in some good words for Clive. Clive will now take a short break. He has to unwind as well. But the power balance has already been destroyed."What should we do now?" (Louis)General Louis asks the king who is sitting on his chair like a fool. He is flabbergasted. In a really bad way. Gwen and Trevor are standing beside him. General Louis looks at Gwen. "He was quite friendly with you, wasn't he?" (Louis)"General, I can sense doubt in your question. Do not worry. I won't do any

The farce which I went along with for some reason has ended. I gut punched the guy who slashed at me suddenly. General Louis called him Apollo. Well, if he is a god, it must be related to Jupiter. That doesn't matter. I told the king my current address and I was leaving.But I thought, I should leave through the front door. Might as well, leave like I have triumphed. "Clive, what are you doing here?" I was called from behind by a familiar voice. I turn around and confirm that it is indeed Fiona. "Well, the king kinda arrested me, tied me to a cross and tried to burn me but after surviving, I put him in his place." She sighs. Is she not surprised? I was expecting her to be surprised a bit. "Just don't go overboard. No matter what he did, he is still the king of this kingdom and a normal human being. Go easy on him. A lot." (Fiona)"Yeah. I felt that I should go easy. Fay said that he is 70. Is he that old?" "Yes. But he has access to best medications and healthcare. He probably d

Burning me on a cross was a failure. They were so shocked that they even stopped moving. When someone managed to move, I just had to run my mouth and shut them up again. The king, his soldiers and general Louis are all still like statues. I look at Gwen."This is why I hate slow people." "What can they do? Not many are actually as adaptive as you." (Gwen)"You are one to talk! You were probably the only one who understood me. That's why you were never afraid of me even after all of that."I remember the times I spent in school. Gwen was always with me. And I knew that she was crazy. So I acted crazy and we got along well. Trevor probably sees her as a perfect older sister. To me, she is just a normal girl with a few screw loose. Even now, Trevor is trying his best to grasp the meaning of out conversation. I look at the living statues. They are still statues. Fine, I hate waiting.I dispell their confusion by using mana to give suggestions to them. It's easy. I made their brains thi
