When I came to, I was floating in a red space that seemingly had no end. My head was pounding and the burning sensation has been reduced to a tingle. It felt like I was swimming but there's no water and I can breathe perfectly fine. Then a smell hit me. There was a distinct iron-y odor that made it seem blood soaked the air. That's when I heard a grim and ancient chuckle behind me.
My blood ran cold and the sensation got hotter. I slowly turn around to find a toothy grin filled with teeth that'll put a shark to shame. The grin slowly received a form and a creature that resembles a demon that looks like he make shady deals for a living appears in front of me.
The demon had a bare, blood red skull that had a metallic glint. The skull had two giant horns protruding from his head and his elongated neck look like something from the Aliens movie. As a row of long razors populated along the neck bone, the neck covered in black muscles. Contrary to the demonic and grotesque appearance, the demon was adorned with a well-fitted dark blue suit and a pair of dress shoes that look like they cost more than a year's worth of rent. A red light slowly shined in its eye sockets. Then that's when a wave of pure dread, misery, death, hatred and all the other of lowest negative emotions that come to mind hits me.
I could feel my soul shrink in reaction to the overwhelming force yet it unnoticeably shivered in anticipation. The figure stepped forward towards me and I stepped backwards. Although I'm a good 6,4, this being towered over me at I height I estimate around 7 feet. He then suddenly stopped it's movement and akin to the most graceful of noblemen he bowed.
"My pleasure to make your acquaintance, Master Bane. I am Sir Alfred Reginald Pennywise Beelzebub at your service."
I stood there frozen agape still tryna process the scene before me.
'What. The. Fuck.' I thought. 'Why am I here? What is this place? Who's this fucker? Am I going to die? Am I already dead? This must be hell then'
"Hahaha" Alfred chucked loudly "You are not dead sir. But it wouldn't be wrong for me to say our current surroundings holds some semblance towards hell."
"And you read thoughts too. Lucky me.' I said despairingly
"Much apologies, sir." He chuckled again "I was doing doing it for the sake of convenience in order to better accommodate you."
I calmed a bit and rationalized that I'm most likely in danger so I mustered what will I had left and said "Then who exactly are you and what the hell is this place"
"Well I find unnecessary to repeat such long name so you may call me Wise. I have been positioned as your guide, mentor, and forever loyal servant ,and we are currently in your hellscape. An type of inner dimensions that is inherently within all demons with a bloodline of demon prince or higher."
"Wait What?! What does this has to do with me then?"
"Well Master Bane you have personally witnessed the changes with your body. This is only means you have experienced an awakening and completely turned into a Demon."
