Chapter 1 - I AM THE DEVIL

"We all are the best creations of the God that he commends himself for. The God is omnipotent and we are alive because of his grace and blessings on us." The Pope shouted while standing on the stage in a chapel. The people sitting there were listening to him and commending his beliefs.

"We all are under his control. All your sins will be washed away if you pray to him graciously. No evil can come close to-"

The sound of someone opening the door echoed inside the chapel and interrupted the pope's words.

"Who dares to interrupt the divine area of God's followers?" The pope shouted angrily.

The knob of the door twisted and the hinges holding the gate started to break. Within seconds, the hinges broke and the doors slid to the stage and stopped just in front of the pope.

'You all need to fix this damn door, you miscreants.' A voice spoke through the smokes that the doors made.

'And what was that Mr. Pope? No evil can come close to what?' He spoke while showing a big smile.

"Y-You..." The pope speaked slowly while looking at the person.

"Who are you? Can't you see the function is still going on?" One of the men from the crowd spoke up.

'Oh, you are right. I almost forgot . Anyways, sorry for the intrusion, but I need you to come with me, Mr. Pope.' He said in a humoring way.

The pope looked at him with pale eyes that was reflecting the fear that he was feeling right now.

'You will come with me, right?' He said with an evil smile.

"Don't you understand what we are saying? If you don't leave right now, I will make you leave forcefully." A fat and big man shouted from the crowd and moved out towards him.

'Aren't you a short-tempered one? Well, whatever. Don't let me repeat myself, Mr Pope because I am also a short tempered being myself.'

Feeling more angry for getting ignored, the man threw his fist towards the intruder.

'Can't you see I am busy talking?' He said while stopping the punch with a finger.

'You people don't understand' He spoke while slapping him on his cheeks. 'until' He grabbed his chin and picked up his body through the force. 'you are taught a lesson.' He threw him toward the desks near the crowd.

'Well, if you ever need punishment, just come to me. My subordinates will take good care of you since they are expert in it.' He said with a smile on his face.

"W-Wh-Who are you?" A panicked voice spoke from somewhere between the crowd.

'Ah, right. I forgot to introduce myself first. It was really discourteous of me.' He said looking towards the crowd.

'I am Lucifer. Lucifer the devil' He spoke proudly.

The crowd went silent. Although no one believed him a bit, they didn't had the guts to speak it out.

'Okay then, oldie. Let's get moving, shall we?' He commanded the Pope.

The scared Pope did as he said and followed him and they went out of the chapel.

'So how's it going, Mr. Pope?' Lucifer asked.

"Everything's fi-fine."He answered looking downwards.

'No need to be so scared. After all, it's not the first time you are seeing me.' Lucifer said looking around the city.

"Ye-Yeah, I mean Yes." He panicked.

'Anyways, who knew that you made a deal with the devil to open a chapel for my father, Quite ironic, isn't it.' Lucifer said while laughing.

"No, ac-actually it's just-"

'But you do understand that you still owe me one, right?' Lucifer turned his head and looked at him with those red devil eyes.

"I know about it, but I don't want to die so early." The pope freaked out

'Ah, you typical humans. Who asked for your worthless life? It doesn't matter when you die, you seat is already reserved there.' He said looking forward.

'Nonetheless, it's time to pay your debt. I want you to do something.'

"Yeah, anything unless it's my life."

'Quite desperate, are we?'

Meanwhile in the city market.

"Don't try to scam me. I had bought the same potion from the shop beside you the other day. Now, you are selling it to me at double the price." The young lady said to the shopkeeper.

"But he is not here today. If you want to buy, then you have to pay atleast this much." The shopkeeper said while smugging.

"This jerk."

"Leave it at that Claire. There's no point in telling him since the price will be same. Just buy and let's go home."

"Tch. I know. Pack ten of these and don't try anything shady, you understand?"

The shopkeeper chuckled a little. Claire took the potions and moved out of the shop with her brother, Shawn.

While moving out, she moved her fingers a little and enchanted a spell, "Curse you, damn scammer", that loosened his shelf that made all the bottles of potion fall and break into pieces.

"Serves you right." She said while running together with Shawn.

She was running forward while looking back, teasing the shopkeeper, and tripped over a man walking opposite to her. This made all the potion bottles to break and it spilled on the man.

'Bloody Hell.' He said.

"Oh no, my potions. Can't you move looking forward? Look all my bottles broke because of you." Claire shouted illogically.

"But it was you who was looking back and teasing that shopkeeper, sis." Shawn said.

'You little miscreant, what will you do about my dress? I especially got it custom-made before coming on this planet.' The person talking to them was Lucifer.

"Ah, I am really sorry. But I can't be standing here, I have to go. I will return it back to you if we meet again. Sorry again." Claire said while running hurriedly.

"Sorry for my sister. We will get you a new one. This is our address. You can come anytime at our shop." Shawn said to Lucifer while chasing her sister.

'Not that you can get it anywhere. Well, whatever. May as well check it out sometime.' Lucifer said and started moving.

'Maybe, I will get you washed by Maze.' Lucifer said while chuckling.
