"What do you truly desire, mortal?" A demonic voice boomed. "I want infinite amount of money, I want power and fame!" A man says whole kneeling before the demon king himself. "Very well, your desires will be granted, your greed shall be satisfied for your soul and the most precious thing in your life," the demon said in a satisfied tone.

"Yσυɾ ԃҽʂιɾҽʂ ԋαʋҽ Ⴆҽҽɳ ʂαƚιʂϝιҽԃ, ყσυɾ ɠɾҽҽԃ ԋαʂ Ⴆҽҽɳ ϝιʅʅҽԃ"

The demon snapped his finger, "Now get out of my sight, you filthy human" and the human disappeared into thin air on cue. "Humans are greedy, they take and take but nothing is enough so they turn to demons, how hilarious." The lone demon sat upon his golden throne, a figure opens the door and caught the knife thrown by the king. "Father, I'd rather you don't throw a knife every time some one enters," a sadistic tone that can send shivers down anyone's spine says.

"Dear son, why have you come here?" King Akuma asked him, "Father, your dear son over here is giving you a report about.....h̸̢̩͎̙̼͉͉̪̮͊͐͑̋̔͛̓̀̊̎ȋ̴̧̩̀̈͗̍̔m̴̨̙̼͕̱̟̦̈́̽̊͘͜" his voice glitches when he said the word "him". "Enlighten me son..." King Akuma said sadistically. King Akuma had claw like hands, his horns curled downwards to his ears, he had long white hair fading with grey and his long spikey and scaly wings dragged from the floor.

"Its almost time for him to come, I found out one of the demon was killed by him, so he is am exorcist and priest apparently," the sadistic voice said. "My my, this ought to interesting~ I never thought his parents would choose a religious orphanage, fair enough since they traded his innocent soul for some money and fame," King Akuma said, his chin resting on his hand.

"Why don't we play an interesting game we use to play? Its called fetch, son..." King Akuma said, "You find him before demons I send his way kill him, can't have your pet dying yet huh? How that would taint your reputation! The prince of Hell allowed the pet he chose from birth be killed by his own father! Tragic huh?" He said with a smile.

"息子を連れて行って..."

"ₛₒ, gₒ fₑₜcₕ ₛₒₙ..."

The sadistic tone made a "tch" sound before leaving, his footsteps fading away. "Ah, right! Your brother has already set off to find his own pet~ Let's see who finds their pets first?" He said before chuckling loudly. "Honey, you don't need to be so harsh...." A loving motherly voice said as she entered the room. She took a seat on her golden throne, next to the ruler of Hell. "You still have a heart of an angel huh?" King Akuma said as he pulled his queen close to him, "Fallen Angel, poor you it must've been difficult for you~ Let this demon heal your broken heart" he teasingly said as he brushes their noses together.

"I-idiot! Don't do that!" Queen Mina said as she pushed him away. "Still flustered even after a hundred years? You never change" he said while resting his chin on his palm, looking lovingly at the woman he had fallen in love with. "Ugh, enough you old man! I'm leaving," the queen said clearly flustered and stormed out of the room, leaving the king satisfied.

Meanwhile in the other world.....

"May God be with us, amen...." Micheal said as he closed in prayer, people clapped as their daily service ended. People packed up and left, Micheal greeted the people walking out, waving goodbye. He smiled as the last person left, he let out a sigh of relief as exhaustion took over him. It was the first day of doing services with people and he let out a breath after holding it for what seems like the whole service.

"Must be tough being a priest, Father Micheal...." A voice said behind him, demonic aura oozing out of it. Micheal turned around and jumped back, taking of his bible and cross in the process. "I shall send you back where you belong demon.... May you be at peace," Micheal before he closes his eyes and started chanting, at this point people were screaming and panicking. The demon charges at him but a force stops him, Mark stood behind it as he murmured some words to stop the demon in its track.

Micheal finished his chanting, the demon screeches as he turns into ashes. People cheered once more for Micheal, he had eliminated two demons in two days. He smiled before turning away and walking to Mark, "Man, you sure are getting popular!" Mark said while patting his back.

Micheal said "Ehehe, thanks! Its kinda weird to have so many sightings of demons, they must be plotting something if there are this many!" Just the, the Church sirens rang and chaos erupted, it meant a hord of demons were sighted but it sometimes it can mean there's a demon spotted out in the open.

Mark and Micheal nodded at each other before running seperate ways, Micheal thought of how many lives could be in dangerous if he doesn't hurry up. He picked up his pace and saw a huge hord of demons, at least 15 demons. Micheal and other priest stood shocked at the number of demons, demons are solitary creatures but hords of them aren't impossible, normally 2 or 3 demons at most but 15 demons were exteremly rare.

Micheal thought how badly the situation would be if they didn't hurry up. "Fathers and Sisters! We must hurry before they cause more damage!" Micheal raised his voice, this snapped the stunned priests and priestesses out of their state. The demons all instantly stare at Micheal, charging at him, all of them got to work.

Half of the priests and priestesses focused on stopping the demons while the other half focused on the exorcism. The demons slowly one by one turn to ashes, Micheal was focused on exocisting them but he felt a pair of eyes glaring at him. A demon comes out of no where, dodging everyone to reach Micheal, this forced him to stop the exorcism and braise himself for the attack.

The demon knocks Micheal away from all the priests and priestesses, they ended up tackling each other. Micheal was in a tight spot since he lacked physical strength, he refused to be killed by a demon on the first day of his work in front of hundreds of people.

"Get off me demon!!" Micheal scremard before kicking it off, he received several burns due to the heat emitting of the demon, his flawless pale skin had a few burn marks now. Micheal chanted as quickly as possible while the demon was coming at him, the demon screeches as it turned to ashes.

Micheal panted as he fell to the ground, utterly exchuasted, as a priest came to purify him before touching him, Micheal lifted his eyes to see a pair of red eyes staring at him with amusement. Right as his consciousness slipt, a sadistic voice said....

"見つけた〜, ペッ! "

"Found you, pet!"
