"Look it's Max, he's confessing his love for Amy again! Ahahaha" said Jake one of the bullies of Max.
"He's probably going to get rejected again. Ahahaha" said Peter, a subordinate of Jake trying to make fun of Max.
The guys making fun of Max are his bullies from when he was only a little boy. He has endured their bullying his entire life but lately, the bullying has been getting a little more intense and this has caused Max to lose sleep and confidence in his every day life.
Max felt his face burn with embarrassment as the bullies taunted him once again. He wished he could just disappear and never have to face them again.
"Leave me alone, guys," he muttered, trying to ignore them.
But Jake and Peter weren't about to let him off the hook that easily. They continued to make fun of him, their laughter ringing in his ears.
"Aw, come on, Max. Don't be such a wimp. You know Amy would never be interested in a loser like you," Jake sneered.
Max's heart sank at the mention of Amy's name. He had been hoping to get to know her better, but he knew deep down that Jake was right. Why would someone like her ever be interested in him?
Peter chimed in, "Yeah, and even if she was, you wouldn't know what to do. You're such a pathetic virgin."
The words hit Max like a punch to the gut, and he felt his eyes fill with tears. He turned and ran, not wanting them to see him cry.
As he fled from the bullies, Max vowed to himself that if he ever had the chance to prove himself and turn his life around for the better, he would take without an once of hesitation.
Little did he know that his chance would be arriving sooner than later.

Hell
Lucifer stood at the head of a massive, obsidian table in his throne room, flanked by his most trusted advisors. The room was bathed in an eerie red light that seemed to emanate from the very walls themselves.
"My brothers," Lucifer began, his voice booming through the room. "The time has come for us to take action against the humans on planet Earth."
The assembled demons murmured their agreement, their eyes glittering with anticipation.
"We have been preparing for this for centuries," Lucifer continued. "Our armies are stronger than ever before, and our weapons are more advanced than anything the humans could imagine. But make no mistake, this will not be an easy conquest. Humans are a resilient species, and they will fight to protect their world."
A low growl rose from the crowd, and several demons brandished their weapons in response.
"But we are not afraid of a challenge, are we?" Lucifer asked, a cruel smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"No, my lord!" The demons roared in unison.
"Good. Then let us proceed with the invasion. We will strike at dawn, under the cover of darkness. And when we are finished, the humans will tremble at the mere mention of our name."
The room erupted in cheers and applause, and Lucifer watched with satisfaction as his minions prepared to carry out his orders. For him, this was just the beginning of a grand conquest that would span not just one world, but countless others. And he would stop at nothing to achieve his ultimate goal: to rule over all creation as the one true king of the universe.

Earth
The sky turned dark as the demons descended upon the Earth. Their massive, black wings blotted out the sun, casting a pall over the entire planet.
Screams of terror echoed through the streets as the demons swooped down, their razor-sharp talons tearing through buildings and cars alike. Fires erupted everywhere, casting an eerie glow over the chaos.
The humans fought back as best they could, but it was no use. The demons were too strong, too fast, and too powerful. One by one, the cities fell, and the humans were forced to retreat.
In the end, there was nowhere left to run. The demons had cornered humans across the world.
"Listen to me," Lucifer commanded, his voice echoing through the entirety of Earth. "You have lost this battle. Your world now belongs to us."
The humans cowered in fear, their eyes wide with terror.
"But fear not," Lucifer continued. "We are not without mercy. We will allow you to live, as long as you obey us without question."
"What do you want from us?" A trembling voice asked.
"What I want of you is simple, it is to humor me for the rest of your lives," Lucifer replied. "I have created a world called Zeta in which many species coexist: Elves, Dwarves, Angels and much more live. To survive there, you will have to explore the world and get stronger by completing trials that I have made in the Tower of Nightmare."
The humans exchanged fearful glances, not knowing what he was talking about. And so, they listened to every word that was coming out of his mouth.
"However, before we teleport you there, I have to make sure that you have the ability to entertain me and explore the dangerous world that Zeta is. This is why I have prepared a little something for you," exclaimed Lucifer.
This was just the beginning of one big show for the demons in which humans would play with their own lives on the line. But for the humans, it was the end of their world as they knew it, a bleak and uncertain future stretching out before them.
Suddenly, a message appeared in front of every human in the world.
