Chapter 5 - Hell's One : Devils' Recruitment

Recap : Cyrus starts his first mission within New York City's Borders, he looks for a job to grab some quick wages to atleast live a liveable life, he takes a job of being a security guard at a school named "Goldville", the first day of his job turned out to be the water balloon event for the kids at the school, Cyrus came up with an idea of infusing the kids' souls into the water balloons with Soul Manipulation, everytime they pop one of the balloons, a random kid from the school will die tommorow and when the next days hits, 135 children have committed suicide after the water balloon event in Goldville, he eventually also burns down the whole school to get rid of any suspension.

This truly shows, how much of a monster Cyrus can be.

"We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell", Oscar Wilde.

I've just made 135 kids commit suicide, people will never know how satisfying that feeliny was, ive made immense progress but I've come up with an idea, why don't I spread my evil doings through having others to do it for me ?

I can create an organisation or a team that can help me with my operations but they'll have to be just like me, devils who can't care less about a life of a mere human but ill need to look in the deep areas of the city to find these kind of people, I'll need atleast 5 members right now, I'll gather more members when we start to get a reputation.

There were always 3 neighbourhoods that were known as being unsafe in New York, "Hunts Point", "Brownsville" and "Mott Haven", each one of these neighborhoods have an extremely high homicidal rate and a high chance of getting sexually assaulted or raped, I'll go to all three of these neighborhoods to find my devils.

I'll first go to Mott Haven, a neighbourhood with a crime rate 146% higher than the rest of New York, Mott Haven is located in the South Bronx.

As I enter the neighborhood after exiting my cab, I see barrels with fire in them and some homeless people just laying on the ground, what a pity !

I walk around the neighborhood a little more but while I'm walking, a homeless woman grabs onto my leg, "please, I need drugs, give me money so I could get drugs", the woman said while she was crying, she had rags on and was bleeding from most of her body parts, "here, use this to buy your drugs" , I said as I gave her a 20 dollar bill, "Why is the bill almost ripped in half?", the woman asked but she then gets her body to split into to two just like the dollar bill, I secretly applied Soul Manipulation to the bill, I then burnt her dead corpse to get rid of any evidence, it was her own fault she ended up how she was, buying drugs was why she was in that horrific shape, the only person that could have helped her... was herself.

I move on even more and then I see some protests going on for female rights ( feminism ), I just quietly pass by so I don't get involved in this, one of the women then spotted me and said, "hey look, there's a dirty scumbag man, oh no, dont rape me you bastard !", and they all just started laughing and throwing vegetables at me, if I had a choice, I would've just blasted them all away with a fire burst of mine but this protest was out in the open, this will definitely spark attention among other strong devils around the country.

I walk around the city even more, I see a house with no door, no windows and some walls were torn off the house, there was a message written on the house saying "keep out", I get closer to the house to listen if anyone lives in this shithole of a place, I get in the house to check it out, I light a small fire from my left hand since it was so dark in the house, the corridor seemed endless, there wasn't an end to the corridor, I kept running through the corridor but there was no end.

I've been walking in this corridor for the past minute or two, this must be a devil's ability.

"Who dares to enter my home!", some voice said as it echoes throughout the corridor, I bring out my horns in preparation to fight this person or rather, this devil.

"Oh, your just like me, you have those horns that everyone in this neighborhood shames me for, you may pass into my home", the voice said as I finally see an end to the corridor, as I walk out of the corridor, I see a man laying on the couch looking depressed.

"My life has always been abused by shame, first it was because of my arab ethnicity and now because of the devil horns that grew out of me that formed because of my hate towards the people that shamed me, life just isnt fair", the man said, I slowly walk towards him and say, "so you did agree to hell's equivalent exchange law right ?", the man then nods at me, I then laugh out of nowhere.

"Why are you laughing ?, is it because of people shaming me ?", the man said, I walk towards him and grab onto his right shoulder and say, "no, I'm laughing because of how easy it was to find my first member, you have hatred towards all people, well so do I, why don't we join forces and spread carnage to all humans huh ?".

The man then stares at me for a good 2 seconds or so, "I'll join you, I'll help you put an end to all of humanity, my name's Hatem Mohammed, I'm grateful for your gratitude!", Hatem said as he started bowing infront of me, "I'm Cyrus Finn, I'll be the leader of our team, now then Hatem, explain your main ability to me please", I asked, "Room Renovater, I can alter any room in a closed area, just like the corridor that you entered and my main offensive ability is Material Converter, I can convert any material into a weapon that's is made of that material so for example, if I can grab a piece of wood, I can convert it to any wooden weapon like a kendo stick",Hatem explained.

I've hit quite the goldmine with Hatem, his abilities will be very useful against some opponents and if he can kill more devils like us, he can gain even more abilities which will top his old abilities.

"Hatem, shall we continue building this unstoppable force?", I asked while smiling at him, " yeah !, let's do this", Hatem answered as we both walk away from his house in hopes of building our organisation even more.

Next stop, Brownsville.
