Chapter 1: the mysterious big brother.
Hell, the home of chaos and suffering, as described by the westerners. It is a place where sinners were punished after living their whole lives on Earth; a second life for all sinners.
It was said in all those stories that hell was created for a fallen angel " Lucifer " it is a prison created for him, to keep him prevent him from further leading the humans to the path of destruction. Hell they said, is a world blazing with fire, and cries of the Damned was like music to the soul of the devils…
Some of the stories were true, other were a product of the people's imagination.
Hell, as it is now, is a place filled with life and entertainment, nothing like the punishment hole as depicted in the Bible.
Hell is divided into seven Continent, each Continent is separated by an ocean of blazing fire. A powerful devil ruled each Continent…they're the guardians of the Continent. They were seven guardians in total.
The first guardian, " samael " he's the ruler of the first level of hell " the kingdom of wrath " and he's the emperor of this kingdom full of angry demons.
Samael was once an angel in heaven before the rebellion, he's one of the founders of hell. He's a devil with human appearance, a pair of black wings was attached to his back, a single horn was standing firmly on his head.
The demons in hell all knew him as "the angry devil " the last time he smiled was the day when the first human was created in heaven.
Samael is a fierce devil no one wants to offend, he's strong and powerful, that's why he could still retain the number one position of all the guardians of hell since the day they were sent here.
Across the great sea of fire is the second kingdom of hell " the kingdom of despair " the guardian of this Continent is a two headed demonic beast. He has a humanoid figure that looked completely like a normal human, except for his crimson skin color, two heads and the twin horns on each Head.
The king of despair " modus " is said to be an adventurer. If you want to see him, just go to any battlefield closer to your current location and you shall find him there.
He frequent every battlefield out there. he's not there to fight or create peace but he's there to gan the violence…that's his job, and he's very good at doing it.
He's the only one who's not always on seat amongst all the rulers of hell, he's always at the battlefield.
Amongst all the rulers of the underworld, he's the only " normal " devil out there, working his ass off every day.
After the second level is the kingdom of greed, its ruler is a giant gold skinned humanoid devil " Mammon " the emperor of greed and material gains.
At the fourth level of hell is the kingdom of envy, head by the green skinned snake monster " the Leviathan " a giant monster with wide mouth.
At the fifth level of hell, the Continent of gluttony.
It was headed by the humanoid fly " Beelzebub" the Continent was named after him.
Beelzebub was hailed as the king of all flies ( the forefather of all insects )
The sixth kingdom on this hellhole is the kingdom of sloth, headed by the demon " belphegor " a beautiful, lazy woman. She's the demon in charge of the sin of sloth.
The seventh Continent is the kingdom of lust, ruled by the great virgin seducer " asmodeus " the great demon of lust.
The eighth and the last continent of hell is the kingdom of pride.
A powerful devil, the one and only ruler of the whole realm of hell " Lucifer " is the current ruler of hell and the ruler of this last realm. He has authority over every living being in this world, with a snap of his fingers millions of souls will be extinguished.
With a wave of his hand, thousands of demons would tremble at his feet.
Yet, this ruthless ruler has someone he feared, besides God.
There's a statue of a young man on each of the continents, it's a statue of a young, handsome black man standing atop a mountain of sword and looking up at the heaven with pride plastered on his face.
The statues were placed strategically at the middle of each Continent so that the gigantic statue can be seen from all corners of the Continent by all living creatures.
At exactly 6 am in the morning, all devils and demons rushed out of their living space and stood before this colossal statue and started chanting praises and prayers for the one whose face was on the statue.
" all hail the big brother,
The one who treated us fairly
All hail the big brother
The one who unified the demons in hell.
We'll remember your teachings
And desist from our sinful ways.
We'll follow the path you laid down for us
And be the righteous demons you wanted us to be
You're the one true leader of this wasteland.
We wish you long life and prosperity
We yearn for your presence
We're waiting patiently for your return
For the return of our wise, big brother…"
When it got to the turn where they wished him long life and wait for his return, all the demons' faces changed instantly, as if someone was forcing them to eat shit.
They pronounced every word with difficulty, some demons were even weeping during the ritual. You would think that they were weeping because they missed their big brother, but deep down they wished never to set their eyes on him, never in their lives.
They continued chanting as they cried.
" we await your return
O' big brother
But if you're busy up there
Don't bother to come back
We missed you
But we'll always do your Will
All hail big brother!!! "
After chanting their nonsense, some kind of invincible energy left their body to form a strange energy orb, the orb then was transferred to the statues in the center of the continents.
After absorbing the energy, the statue would then transfer back ten percent of the energy donated to the donor, but the energy would have been processed before it was sent back. The yellow energy would have turned Blue before being sent back.
Who's the big brother of these fearless villain?
Why did they feared him so much?
Where is he?
All these are mysteries. Even the big boss of hell dared not defy this big brother of theirs…so all the people in hell have to perform this ritual every century. After performing the ritual, there'll be an increase in their strength and the truly "righteous" ones can gain more power of light.
At the kingdom of darkness, the ninth continent of hell…
This is the base of the high devil himself " Lucifer " the fearless. It is the smallest and coldest place in hell, their punishment is extreme Cold but they've already found a way around it and conquered the cold from devouring their body.
The kingdom of darkness can also be called the devil's backyard. The devil's second office, where all important meetings are held, where all demons come for news and missions.
The kingdom of darkness is the capital of hell, the hometown of the high devil.
This place was night all through the day, no light in the surrounding, they are all demons with the best eyesight in the dark, their worst enemy is light, or anything that can produce light and that is why they couldn't cross over the ocean of flames to other continents ( they'll die inside the flame ) no one has ever crossed the boundary, except for their founder " Lucifer " the fearless.
The kingdom of darkness was once part of the kingdom of pride; it was the capital of pride but due to its unique characteristics, it was separated from the kingdom.
The kingdom of darkness was not surrounded by flames like the rest, it was located inside the kingdom of pride, but all of its true citizens can't leave the kingdom of pride if they do not want to perish in the flames.
In the kingdom of darkness all rulers of the underworld were in a meeting with the high devil " Lucifer " except for the king of despair " modus ".
" where's modus? It has been three hundred years since he last attended the farewell ritual for big brother. " Lucifer looked around, searching for the king of despair but didn't see him in the assembly of rulers.
" Modus, that bastard!! He didn't even put big brother in his eyes at all. Let's say he didn't put you, the great ruler of hell in his eyes but how dare he defy big brother's order when he clearly knew the consequences of offending that demo…big brother…" samael, the king of wrath was ranting.
" The last time I saw him on the battlefield, he said big brother can't find this place, that we're truly saved from his demonic claws.
He even called big brother all sorts of bad names and nothing happened to him, no thunder or divine retribution or any signs of punishment.
I think it's high time we stop fooling ourselves, big brother was killed in that great war, that's why we didn't hear anything from him… let's stop this meaningless worship and eat to our fill, modus is currently in the human world enjoying the chaos… it's time to sprinkle greed into the hearts of the humans again, I can't wait to start planting greed into those little men " a giant golden skinned man said. He's mammoth, the giant king of greed.
" no wonder! I saw your minions near the portal to the human world, you must be planning something sinister…but that's non of my concern, wake me up if there's any important issue that'll require my attention…zzzzz… " a stunningly beautiful Lady said before adjusting her bed, and off she goes, a journey to the Dreamland. She's belphegor, the first and only person to bring a large bed to an official meeting. She's nicknamed " the sleeping beauty " she hated work and liked to slack off all day long.
She ruled over the great kingdom of sloth. She's the empress of sloth.
A giant snake opened his mouth to talk but was immediately silenced by everyone in this room, even the great devil on the throne motioned for him to stay silent. There's only one reason for that unanimous decision, it was said that the mouth of the great Leviathan is the gateway to hell, so if he should say anything now, the fragile room might be devoured by his big Stinky mouth.
This is not the first time that they'll be doing this kind of thing to him. All he could do is to pray for the strength to overcome this bias.
The pitiful Leviathan could only stay in the dark, collecting dust as he always do until he find another means to communicate with these fools without opening his stinky mouth.
The humans are starting to forget who we are, let us invade the human world once again so as to gatjerore people to our side and win the ten millennium bet we made with the great one. " the Ant-Man amidst them gave his opinion.
" I think it's time we send someone to the human world, to prepare for our coming…the main question now is… who shall we send? " the silent Lucifer finally talked.
" I will go, send me your majesty " the Ant-Man stated his willingness to be the vanguard to invade the human world. Immediately after that, the whole room turned to vegetable market, they were all arguing amongst themselves about the right person to send until the great serpent Leviathan stood up to talk…then silence descended, no one dared to say a word again.
The great devil Lucifer quickly talked before the giant serpert would damage their eardrums with his soundwave.
" We'll decide on it after my daughter's wedding ceremony. " and the meeting was adjourned.
…..
A bald demon With human appearance was walking down the street of hell with a great demon with bat wings on his back.
The bald demon was wearing a Buddhist kasaya, a Buddhist rosary was hanging on his neck as he walked with his companion. A small bowl filled with a crimson liquid was on his hands, he'll take a sip of it occasionally while talking with the bat demon.
" Amitabh donor, I always tell you to stop killing those harmless humans…when will you learn from big brother? " the bald demon said while facing the little bat guy with a Stern face as if an elder is lecturing a young one.
