Gluttony, one of the top three rings of hell for being the prettiest to be at along with Envy and Sloth, where it's mostly parks, recreational facilities, malls and the like with one giant party center that Beelzebub runs where it's nearly party central 24/7 with only Sundays where she takes a break from her constant partying to take a break from it all.
It's a ring where Hellhounds, for the most part, we're seen as people and not as pets to be owned by others along with Imps that want to get stoned and fuck around in the Gluttony Ring.
It's also where the Hellhound Mega Orphanage or to those that live here like to call it, the Dog Pound, a place where a lot of really shitty parents or single mothers go to toss away the kids they just had just so they don't need to be burdened with taking care of their kids.
It's a Major issue here in Gluttony, but unless some hounds are in a never ending rut or are just outright going around raping girls and getting them pregnant, the enforcing of neutering on the Hounds isn't done unless we have to.
Gluttony does however have a birth Restrictions set up for the hounds that live here, but plenty ignore it, that is until they get the hefty fines that can break a person from how expensive it is, so in recent years birthrates have begun to drop which is a really good thing as when the HellHound population reaches a critical mass they all go feral and start rampaging across the rings which luckily hasn't happened in the last 20,000 years at least.
Why is all this important? Well to tell the truth I have a plethora of companies under my control, real estate, security, assassination, toys, drugs, banks, loans, 'Law' Enforcers, chop shops, grocery stores, malls, etc. point is I have one or several businesses in every type of fields that there are throughout the rings.
If Mammon is Hell's Richest Demon, then it's no contest that I'm second only to the Sin of Greed after all and a good chunk of my riches are due to him.
Not only that but due to my influence and fame I am hells oldest and most well known superstar on top of all that, to say I've done it all is an understatement.
Now back to the topic at hand, In Gluttony I have two major things I run personally, the Hell Security Company called Diamond Dogs, which I renamed to after playing a famous video game that was made up on earth that was passed onto me by some of my earth contacts, and I found the name to be fitting for the name of my company as after all the Security Company uses only the best Hellhounds that Gluttony has to offer to work in protection detail of high priority people, examples would be any of the Ars Goetia, The Mob Families of Greed that run the Loan Sharks beneath them and even several of hell superstars and even the Sins on occasion they leave their own rings.
And the other one is the Pound, as it's where we source the children that have the power to survive to work for my company through what are known as the Death Trials with an only 25% survival rate for anyone who go through them, though of course only those who weren't adopted before turning 18 of course, it at least gave them a chance at surviving rather than what Bee had thought which would be euthanasia as that's just a waste as they were given free education, food and a place to live for the 18 years they were there and if they wanted to make it out they needed to fight for it as to weed out the weaker hounds.
After all a large chunk of the Hound population had Deformities and mental issues that made them unfit to live in a society like hell, and those ones were the ones that took up the bulk of the 75% that were killed off as they had no realization as to what was happening in the first place before they found themselves killed by people they knew, maybe even people they considered friends.
Some might cry that what I'm doing is cruelty, that these are living people and that they shouldn't be treated like this.
And to those people I say they don't have any idea what Gluttony really is? This ring the strong live and the weak either cling onto the legs of the strong or are crushed underneath, its survival of the fittest after all.
Now Seven years ago we had gotten our newest batch of recruits and one of them who would rise through the ranks and become an upper executive of Diamond Dogs over five years ago after a position became vacant with the former owner of said position deciding to retire and live out the rest of their days in piece and comfort.
This girl who is only 25 years old is Hati and behind Cerberus she is one of my most favored Hellhounds, so now I was sitting at my office desk as she was sitting in the chair in front of me.
"Hati, you know you could have told me about this as soon as you became one of the Main Executives here at Diamond Dogs and I would have helped you in finding where your sister was, but you didn't say anything in all this time, why is that?" I ask leaning back on my office chair.

"…. I'm sorry sir, it's just that I heard she had stayed at the pound all the way up until she was 18 and then I didn't hear anything about her…. So I always assumed the worst case Scenario happened and that she didn't make it through the Death Trials as she didn't end up here…. On top of that I couldn't adopt her because she was related to me and with all the work I had to do in the early years and by the time I became an executive I checked the pound and she wasn't there and that there weren't any records of her adoption, at least until now that is." She said as she gripped both her hands together.
"Yes, it seems whoever let her get adopted left her file with a grammatical error, when they typed it up on their end they pressed K instead of L for the first letter of her name and that's why you assumed she was dead?" I said as I looked over the file she handed me when she got in on her sister who looks strikingly similar to her only with long grey hair on her head compared to Hati's Black Hair.
"Yes Sir." She says as I nod while I stroke my chin before I stand up and grab my new jacket that I recieved from Vellvette's branding company that matched my current three piece suit.

I pressed the button on my intercom, "Get Limo and Security Detail ready, we are heading up to the Pride Ring." I tell my secretary.
"Right away Sir!" They responded back before I let go of the button as Hati stood up and followed after me.
