Chapter 3 - Genesis 1:3 “A Peculiar Awakening”

"You may call me, Lucifer" The strange ethereal man said, Hazuno could feel the man's breath, it wasn't hot but it was cold to the point of it feeling like his breath was frozen. If the man who was on top of him didn't appear he would've thought he was in a different room or that the heat suddenly cut off from the apartment like it usually does. His breath smelled like a familiar perfume, maybe his mother put it on? No matter. The man who claimed to be the devil himself pulled away from him but he still held Hazuno's cheeks as he simply smiled but his smile it wasn't genuine at all, the smile felt emotionless and cold, not like a humans smile. Even if a human's smile was false it wouldn't amount to the feeling of uncomfortableness and anxiety, it was like the man was tempting him, tempting him to do something…immoral

As the man finally spoke he did so with elegance but still filled with curiosity and intent as it seemed like he had no intent on letting Hazuno talk if the man didn't talk first. He muttered his second sentence to him as it felt as if he was of a higher being then Hazuno, which he most likely was as it seemed like he was an otherworldly being outside of the realm of understanding. "You're the perfect vessel for my powers, tell me human, what is thy name?" he said with no emotion to his voice, it felt inhuman which he most likely was as his golden light blonde locks covered his chest along with touch most of the floor as Hazuno most likely thought his hair could touch his feet as Hazuno stammered, he didn't know what to do or say other than to answer him. He simply said to this being "R…Ryo Hazuno" the young man mutters out as he feels terrified of whoever this is, he just wanted to know who or what he was. After a moment of staring at the man Hazuno finally got the courage to speak as he says "What…what is going on? W-What do you mean 'vessel'?" the man simply grinned, it wasn't a big grin but a grin he wouldn't even notice if this man wasn't staring right at him. The man simply said from his red hued lips, "You are a vessel for my power Ryo, you will help me regain my power that was once stolen from me by God. I am not here to help you, simply to guide you on my journey to regain my power, is that understood?" Hazuno felt confused, was he actually talked to the devil himself?! Hazuno felt terrified as he wanted to say something but couldn't, he was too afraid to do so as he felt as if one wrong move and he would die in an instant. Hazuno felt his mysterious man play with his black curls, they were short but the man didn't seem to mind as he seemed…intrigued by him.

He simply smiled as the he watched what Hazuno could only describe as get off of him and watch him get up like he was some sort of prey. He simply looked bored when Hazuno was on the ground but his attention span grew as he stood up with Hazuno holding back all of the nervousness and fear as he says "Ok ok, first of all why am I covered in vine tattoos, second of all why is this red making on my face and third of all who the hell are you and why have you broken into my house?!" Hazuno questioned with worry as the man stopped crouching and got up from his spot on the floor as his hair flows through his body and a bit of his hair is picked up from the floor but some of his hair is still touching the dirty floor as Hazuno could finally see the man clearly. The man had long luscious blonde locks that made its way to the floor and even touched it while some of his hair covered his chest and nipples, along with covering his crotch as he was naked from head to toe. The man had light blue eyes that reminded him of the blue used to paint skies in artworks he'd seen at the museum while he had luscious blonde eyelashes that shouldn't be this blonde for a normal human along with cheeks that he would've mistaken for blush if it didn't seem so natural for him to have such cheeks as a color, it had a pink hue almost as he had red hued lips in the middle that faded to a regular color as the ethereal beauty which didn't even seem human or was too hard trying to look human and forgot humans didn't look this beautiful finally opened his mouth and said "That human, is my power. As my power grows stronger you will soon understand my reasoning for choosing you, you are perfect for this role as my vessel, is that understood?" Hazuno felt shocked but didn't speak until he could answer the man as he says "I…uh…accept I guess, just tell me why have you broken into my house?!" Hazuno yells as the man simply says "I needed to meet you if you were to inherit my powers do I not?" he sounded cocky and mischievous but he still kept that maturity and elegance in his voice, just like how he looked. Both someone who was elegant and felt like they didn't belong here as he was too beautiful for the eyes along with being mature, althoguh youthful he didn't have the appearance of a child nor teenager but Hazuno would've mistaken him for a man in his 20's if it wasn't for the fact he said he was Lucifer himself.

'Lucifer' simply smiles and says "Ah…well, I'll explain everything you want." he says as he looked like he knew what he was talking about as he puts his hand to his chin as he says "You see, what you and humanity almost experienced was 'The Cleanse', 'The Cleanse' was supposed to be an event in which all humans would be free of sin and was a plan carried out by God, those who believed in him would enter The New Holy Kingdom while those who did not were not to suffer eternal damnation but instead be reborn from these believers as the new believers of God. All the whole eradicating Earth along with anyone who opposed of his order, leaving humans with no control on what they could do in life as well as eradicate me and 'cleanse' me, which would essentially mean everything about me would be reset and I would be his favorite angel again, before I was banished." he says this with concern as it seems like he was concerned about what was about to happen, until he said "The Cleanse was going to happen, until I stopped it with my abilities, ultimately both protecting and destroying humanity as the world will never be the same again, but I know God and he is always determined to do something and do what he sees fit for the world. So, my powers were reset as it connected with the light that was God's power and ultimately I'm left with almost no power, that's where you come in." he says with a grin as he points at Hazuno and says "You are the key to getting my powers back. God would not expect a mortal which believes in him or well…he thinks believes in him. I know you and I know your past Ryo, you do not believe in God, do you?" Lucifer said as he looked at Hazuno with a grin, Lucifer felt like he had won the lottery with him as Lucifer was true, Ryo didn't exactly believe in God anymore after he moved out of his parents house and into Tokyo. Hazuno felt hesitant as he finally said "You're…right about that. But, why should I help the devil?!" he said as Hazuno would've been mad to accept a deal from Lucifer himself, suddenly the world turned dark for Hazuno as he felt like he couldn't breathe as Lucifer was behind him and grabbed his shoulder and whispered into his ear saying "I could always kill you now but, you want to live, I can feel it in your soul." he says as Hazuno looks terrified and nods until his neck almost snapped until Lucifer held his head and says "Very well human, I will spare you." he calmly says as he looks into Hazuno's eyes and Hazuno wakes up on the floor of the bathroom as Lucifer is on top of him again and says "Come now Ryo, we have a lot of work to do."
