The sky was scarlet.
The red sky is commonplace for the inhabitants of hell, but at the same time it is so beautiful that it is impossible to take your eyes off. In my world, the sky was blue, but in the evening it turned yellow-red, and then I thought that there was nothing more beautiful. And when the sun disappeared from the horizon altogether, the dark blue color completely absorbed the firmament. In hell, of course, there is no day or night, so the sky in it is always the same color. In the beginning, this fact was annoying, and only now I realized how beautiful his blood-red sky was.
You probably have a question, why the hell did I get into an artistic description of the sky. The answer is very simple: I'm trying to distract myself. You know, I recently got into the possession of a local demoness and thought I was lucky. After all, she has power, she is beautiful and strong, so it seemed to me that I could get a job as her servant and live happily ever after, but ... she liked me.
More precisely, she liked my level of karma. There are three of them in total: positive, negative and neutral. If we look at numbers, negative starts from -100, positive starts from 100, and neutral is between these two indicators. Now my karma is approximately equal to -110, that is, I am close to the neutral level, which is rare for hell. Sinners who did a lot of shit in their lifetime go to hell. Although I wasn't a saint, I wasn't bad either. You could say that I'm a sweetheart to hell.
In general, what am I talking about. My level of karma has always helped me: more money, better treatment from the demons, in addition, the guards treated me more restrained. Of course, they almost always laughed at me, but it's better than beating me.
I used to be lucky, but now my karma level has played against me, because the sexy demoness liked me. Many people will say that I'm just lucky, and I would agree with them, but... she's a sadist and loves BDSM.

And why are you silent? It's really fucking awesome when you're being tortured.
Fuck, I just lay in the basement and screamed in pain while she was enjoying it. And it happened every single day!
Unfortunately, you can't die in hell, especially if some powerful demons aren't interested in you. You won't die of hunger and thirst, even killing won't help, which sounds absurd. At least that's what the demons told me, and they say very little about the case.
That's why I admired the beauty of the sky.
The grate creaked. She came here... again.
Fuck, it didn't take me that long to explain.
Then there were only screams.
Bone fractures, skin removal, pulling out internal organs — all these tortures were carried out without anesthesia. It seems to you that death is about to come, but you are already dead, so this trick will not work a second time.
— A-a-a-a-a! I shouted, after which my mouth was gagged with a piss rag.
— Hush, hush... it's all right.
It's fucking easy!
"There's only this one left," she said, and pulled out my last nail. — That's it!
She used magic, and my wounds healed quickly.
Is there magic in hell?
Yes, don't be surprised. I was fucking sick of life myself when I found out about it.
Listen, is there a system here? Ah-ha-ha-ha-ah!
Yes, the balls have already gone a little behind the rollers, so what? Any complaints? Then come down here and tell them to my face! Wait, who am I talking to? The sky is so beautiful…
Time passed inexorably slowly, so I couldn't say exactly how long I had to lie in this basement.
To be honest, even in this situation there is a positive point: this devil is not interested in my virginity. Even though I lost her in a previous life, this has never happened in hell.
Stop! It turns out that she will be imprisoned for pedophilia, because I am only ten years old. Although we're in hell.…
This merciless creature showed up again, but this time there was no torture. She came up to me and touched me…
— Kha-a-ah! I shouted and tried to jump away, but she held me down.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
I hoped she'd just forgotten about this place, but it seems like she needs it right now.
Oh, shit! Lucifer or the devil, save me!
— Oh, don't be afraid. I won't touch you there this time.
Really?
—But here..." she said and grabbed my…
Apparently, I'm going to be raped after all. He croaked.
— We have a lot of time.
Save me.
— Let's enjoy it slowly.
Save me!!!
***
After a long period of time, she finished.
Am I alive? How did I do it?
The memories of those days came flooding back to me, and I realized that it was better to be raped by a beauty than writhing in hellish pain.
While I was rejoicing at the thought that all this might end soon, there was a click in my head, and a screen appeared in front of my eyes.

When did I manage to give up rebirth?! I was forcibly shoved here!
And to hell with you. Now I need to figure out what kind of essence it is and why I got it right now.
|
Demon essence is an object that allows you to get a particle of the demon itself, its power, essence. The one who used it becomes more material.
|
— …
"what?
Come to think of it, I got it after…
Clear.
Everything is clear with sin, because the demons themselves said that laziness is my main sin.
I'll deal with race and profession later.
I obviously got the "Endurance" skill after being tortured. Therefore, it somehow affects my stamina.
And with the characteristics, too, everything seems to be clear ... superficially.
But here are the essences. It turns out that I need sixteen more times… I'm just going to die!
Anyway, this is my chance, I can't miss it. I need to come to an agreement with her somehow, after all, my charisma is pumped the best.
It's going to be difficult, I'm sure.
But I hope I can survive...
***
Everything worked out.
It was pretty simple.
In short, I became her butler.
How? I just asked.
Charisma helped me, of course, and I also made a promise that I would not run away.
Being a servant is better than rotting in the basement. Of course, the butler's job was hard, but I didn't have to take care of food, water, and shelter. And the younger demons, whose position was lower than mine, behaved quite politely... but only in front of her. They are real freaks!
I went through almost all the troubles, but one day I had to receive guests. If only I knew how it would turn out.…
A luxurious hall, salivating dishes, and guests who are representatives of the fair demonic sex. Everything was fine until Rosa told me:
— Serve them.
— Uh…
I had a wild night.

By getting the essence, I increase the characteristics. Even now I feel a little stronger, but there are also unallocated points... no, you can't act rashly. I do not know how quickly she will find out about my system and what she will do.
As far as I've learned, all strong demons have a system, but sinners and lesser demons shouldn't have one.
"Gee, gee," I grinned.
I wonder what will happen when I have twenty essences.
From that moment on, I just slowly started to build up my strength.
I'll get revenge on that bitch first, and then on that angel. Damn, I want to strangle them! I could only dream about it before, but now I have a system.
"It's just getting started," I said out loud.

A few months later.
— Beautiful sky.
— Are you fucking crazy?
— A little bit.
— I knew that all sinners are fucked up.
"Don't you agree with me?"
— The usual sky. It was always red.
— And in my world it was blue.
— You're fucking.
— Why would I lie to you?
— I don't know, sinners always have some shit on their mind.
"I'm not going to change your mind," I said, and sighed.
It was a younger demon with a similar build to a human. His skin was brown in color, and two small horns grew from his head.
— Tell me, Ma.
— What do you need?
He was one of the few people who could listen to me and answer.
— Well, why are you silent? — He got angry.
— Heh heh.
— Are you completely fucked up?
— Tell me... are you strong?
"I'm not even particularly strong among other demons, let alone the lady. Why the hell would you know that?
— Just like that, — I plunged the knife into his neck, — it was interesting.

[Attention! The right amount of essences has been accumulated! Absorption...]
[The takeover is complete! The beginning of evolution...]
[Sinner → Demon]
[Evolution is complete!]
— Ha ha!
Externally, little has changed, but I felt a great surge of strength.
— Ha!
The body has become more human, the way it should have been. It's pretty hard to explain.
