Endless black water. It seemed at the same time incredibly viscous, that even the paddle from the boat could not move in its thickness, and at the same time incredibly liquid, as if the air itself was instead of water. In places, in addition to the black shroud, white spots appeared, but no matter how much I rowed there, everything was useless.
[N.N. 2 says it's worth relaxing and giving in to the flow]
- Ehh…
I could only sigh, it was a relieved, irritated and a little empty sigh.
I was annoyed by the relaxed behavior of these two, who, during my escape, were arguing about something and, apparently, playing cards, at the same time I was scared, I was still sailing to no one knows where, and you never know what will happen there, it's hell. And in the end, of course, I can relax a little bit, temporarily, but I just want to lie at the bottom of this boat and empty all my thoughts, and do nothing.

Having rested, the first thing I did, of course…
- Shut up!
[…]
[…]
They talk about something all the time.
- Bllyayayayayayayayay!!!!
It was just a cry from the soul. It didn't make sense, but I just wanted to yell, no one heard anyway.
[Asmodeus begins to doubt your adequacy]
[N.N. 2 thinks that their conversations have driven you crazy and asks you to take pills]
- AHAHAHAHA!!!
I was really kicked in the ass, and to be more clear, I was almost kicked out. I thought that fat baron was just trying to pretend to be someone cool, but in fact I was beaten.
- Mdya…
It is impossible to fight alone against an entire circle of hell consisting of thousands of demons.
I was overconfident, but the realities of hell, as usual, just threw a ton of information at me about how pathetic I am.
- Oh, yes, Asmodeus, I'm just sure that I can't just get into the second circle of hell without problems, so tell me right away, will there be any shit there?
[Asmodeus does not understand the meaning of your question]
[N.N. 2 understood the meaning of your question and looks at Asmodeus as a moron]
"Ehh... maybe I should renegotiate the agreement… Although I'm going to die, so no. In general, I mean, what kind of fine will be imposed on me?
Even just leaving the sinner zone, I received a heavy penalty, only when I became an incubus, it became weaker. But I'm just 100 percent sure that as soon as I step into the second round, I'll almost die from the fine.
It's better to find out right away than to end up in a dangerous situation later.
[Fcvjltq gjyzk j xtv... Asmodeus understood what you were talking about and replied that yes, there would be a fine]
Mmm, the layout.
- How strong is it?
[Asmodeus replies that most likely your stats will decrease to... Asmodeus asks for help]
[N.N. 2 replies that the characteristics will decrease to a tenth of the original ones, except for luck and charisma]
[Asmodeus thanks for the help]
Wow, when he said he had problems with math, I didn't think that was the case.
- Asmodeus, so are you really a bottom in any of the sciences?
[…]
[N.N. 2 replies that it is, but he does not like to talk about this topic]
— Okay.
I need Asmodeus, it's better not to provoke him.
But in any case, the penalty that reduces my stats to 1/10... it's fucked up. The world is unfair! But what can I do but curse hell and take another deep breath. Right now I'm too tired to express myself emotionally about this. I told you that I'm a little retarded, that's the understanding of how fucked up it will come to me so later.
- It's better to tell me about the circles of hell in general, what is there, I'm mainly interested in power and life, or rather how much it will all affect me.
[Asmodeus says...]
Then I just omitted their words, because they talked a lot, and often off topic, and of course I also removed my remarks with mats and swearing in order to save time.
In short, there are only nine circles in hell, and each of the nine has its own hierarchy and power. The first circle is a circle for sinners, and it is divided among 40 barons and about 626 strong demons, in the likeness of Herpes and Roses. There are 328 zones for sinners on the first circle, and the circle itself is huge.
I thought it would be smaller, but as it turned out, with my adventures, I didn't even examine a hundredth part of it! And if all the barons were going to kill me… I would have had a pussy, and I wouldn't even have had time to react.
The second circle is divided between 33 viscounts, demons of higher rank, and another bunch of strong demons. The third is 70 viscounts. The fourth is 50 graphs. The fifth one is nothing.
It's strange that they didn't tell me anything about the fifth and seventh circles, but come on, I haven't reached them yet, the main thing is 2, 3.
The sixth is a few marquises, in fact, I just didn't listen to him anymore, because he talked for too long. The eighth is the dukes and princes of hell, and our lords are already sitting on the ninth, who are currently playing cities…

- ...And what is the point of this game, even if there are no rules in it!?
[N.N. 2 says that he simplified the rules because of Asmodeus, because he would have lost because of the stupid designation of his cities]
[Asmodeus replies that he knows how to come up with names better than anyone!]
[…]
- …
Okay, it's just better to keep quiet.
- Asmodeus, what about karma?
[?]
- When you help me, my karma drops sharply, and after the questions, will it fall or what? Otherwise, I would not like to.
[Asmodeus is thinking how to say it correctly]
[N.N. 2 decides to explain, he says that karma decreases from direct help from the lord of hell, simple questions do not reduce karma]
- Ah… This is encouraging.
It would be sad if my karma decreased because of a couple of questions.
[Asmodeus says that to get to the tenth circle... *(?:/+="]
- Mmm? "what? Can you repeat that?
[Asmodeus says that he is the best at coming up with names!]
- No, you're stupid, I told you about what you just repeated.
[Asmodeus does not understand]
- About the 10th circle.

[Asmodeus is still sorry that he drove you crazy because of his mind]
[N.N. 2 urgently called the servants to look for pills]
- ... Wait a minute…
[?]
[?]
- ...L-okay, forget it, I think I heard it.
[Asmodeus tells you to check your hearing]
[N.N. 2 urgently asks the servants to find hearing pills]
However, it didn't matter anymore, because we had reached the shore.
***
What are we, that is, me! Of course, I have a little split personality, right?
- …
He's just taciturn, but anyway, why am I writing down the merits of these two?
But it didn't matter, the second circle of hell! Fucking second round! Do you know how long I sailed before it? No, of course not, but I'll say a week! A fucking week!
But come on, it's worth calming down, because this is the second circle of hell!
Although there is little good in these words.
Instead of the usual red earth or wasteland, a black earth appeared in front of me, covered with strange gray plants resembling ordinary grass from the Ground.
Out of curiosity and honestly out of emotion, I wanted to pick one, but the grass only cut my skin.
"...I'm a high-level demon, and I can safely be injured by ordinary grass?"
But okay, now is not the time.
After a quick look around, I didn't notice anything dangerous, after which I sat down in the most convenient place and just waited.
[Attention!]
[You are out of the sinner zone!]
[A fine is being imposed!]
[The pressure of the second circle of hell increases the penalty]
[Your existence in hell is becoming less noticeable]
FUCK!
No matter how many times this happens, it is simply impossible to get used to the pain.
My body literally deflated, as if all the power was evaporating, and then everything went the other way around, as if ten tons pressed on my body from all sides, it seemed like my skin and insides were about to burst. The pressure was so strong that my body literally shrank, from a muscular handsome man, I became an ordinary person by standards. But it didn't end there, as soon as I shrank, my stomach, freed from pressure, abruptly began to spew gastric juice and intestines, and the remnants of products that did not have time to leave my body naturally, abruptly decided to leave. Tears welled up, and small and old wounds simply opened up.
It was pathetic. I was covered in snot, vomit, feces, urine, blood and saliva, twitching in convulsions.
It took about fifteen minutes in total, but for me it was at least a few days, so my brain stopped working. I thought that there were demons around, that I was drowning in the river, and that Asmodeus was a girl, and I took only three examples of what I saw.
In the end, slowly getting up, I took off all my clothes, which were already unusable, after which I walked away and began to try to collect my thoughts.
It was fucked up. There was no other way to describe it, even now my hands were shaking and my stomach was twitching in an urge to empty my stomach, even though there was nothing there.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo... hoo-hoo-hoo," I tried to catch my breath.
And this is only the second round... what will happen next?

- Heh…
I could only smile bitterly at the loss of almost all the characteristics. I didn't even want to think about it, so let's skip that part.
Well, the new skill looks useful, it will definitely be needed, otherwise I will just die in the future, and the new title... I have no idea what it gives.
I even asked N.N.2 about what I could ask, but he replied that the question of status would reduce my karma.
Shit.
Without high karma, I will not get out of hell, but at the same time, without a normal understanding of ranks and skills, I would rather just die.
Unfortunately, I do not have precise knowledge about the hell system, there are only assumptions, but what do I need these assumptions for? This is just complete crap, without normal arguments, all this will be useless.
- Ehh, okay.
I just continued to inspect the second circle, and decided to touch the grass again, which surprisingly almost amputated my finger.
"...Eh... now even the grass can kill me.
Previously, it was just flying pigeons, tyrannosaurus chickens, a sexy succubus, a flying faggot head, a jock, a fat guy and a bunch of demonic beasts and demons.
- At least the grass doesn't haunt me.
After my words, I heard a loud sound, after which the grass began to crop.
- Come on.… Seriously?
I just saw something huge start to climb out of the grass, after which, without trying to examine it more carefully, I ran away, but as happens to me, that thing decided that I was pretty tasty.
Of course, she quickly caught up with me, after which sharp leaves came forward, grabbing me and hanging me by my legs, and I finally saw what was hunting me.
It was an ordinary rose that was plastered with all kinds of plants and vines.
- ... Respect... oh, did you know how much I love roses, and nature in general?
- Chiiiii!
- Well, yes... fuck.
The rose opened its bud, which turned out to have a hundred sharp teeth, but it did not start eating me, no, something worse began.
- Fuck, fuck, fuck no wait! We're in the wrong genre!
But the flower only squeaked, after which hentai began.
