Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Reincarnation of Hell

In the True Nullverse, Null, Erik and Dan were walking in the red and hellish place they saw after escaping Dr. Bob and Christopher. At the beginning, it felt like an isolated place; however, creatures began to appear from every corner of the same place: humanoid insects, deformed humans, living human parts, and more.

Suddenly, a completely black figure with messy black hair, a constant, big white smile somehow bigger than its oval face, a round jawline, a slim body and a decent posture, no other facial features, a flat torso and little hands with big claws, came out from the floor as if it were a shadow able to move. The figure smiled at them mischiefly as he looked like a cartoon character. His body was soft like a pillow and his smile was intimidating, even though its appearance was innocent.

"Well, well, well… looks like I found three new guests~" the figure said while smiling, crossing his arms behind his back and tilting his body to his right, widening his smile.

"Who art thou?" Null asked, worried about the figure's presence.

"Don't worry about it, just smile!" the figure shouted with a joyful sound while spreading his arms towards the sky.

"I am the Evil God of Smile by the way," he then added while landing his hand to them. His fingers had sharp claws instead of nails. Dan grabbed his hand for a handshake as the Evil God of Smile suddenly wrapped his body around him as if he were made of play dough.

"H-hey!" Dan shouted, taken off-guard. Suddenly, every single source of light in the whole reality began to continuously turn off and on, and when it stopped, the Evil God of Smile was standing far away from them.

"Weeelp, I have to go now. Remember to… smile!" he exclaimed happily before disappearing in the shadows.

"What the fuck?!" Erik shouted in shock and confusion. Null simply tilted his head as he was staring at a red spider with eleven legs. Many monstrous beings passed by their place for entire minutes before the triplets decided to continue walking until they reached a black and ruined castle, whose air smelt like pure death, fear and agony made them feel uncomfortable. The huge door was made of dark wood and its upper part was arched. They knocked on it as it opened slowly. Once the door was fully open, they entered and walked through a really dark corridor.

Then, they reached a room with yellow lights; it was red and light came out from skulls merged with the wall; the floor was crafted from sort of red branches, and there was a red throne with golden bounds with a huge golden sculpture that depicted a skull, right on the back of the throne. Suddenly, two enormous white earthworms entered the room; one of them looked angry while the other one looked sleepy.

"Looks like someone entered our Lord's room," the angry one said threateningly while the sleepy one stared at them.

"And you two must be?" Dan asked while crossing his arms.

"I am Perfect Koros while the one next to me is Kyle Park," the angry one answered.

"Ngh… big bro, why don't we just take them to our Lord? I want to sleep…" Kyle said while yawning.

"Sure lil' bro, let's take them to our Lord," Koros said while crawling away with Kyle, motioning the triplets to follow them. The triplets stared at each other for a few seconds before following them. They passed through the dark corridor again, but going the opposite way, as they saw many odd creatures, such as hands, eyes, accessories, mobiles, monstrous creatures and more. They exited the castle, the splendid sky reflecting on the blood that was on the ground.

"Is it just me or this blood wasn't there when we first came?" Erik asked while staring at Null and Dan, who shrugged.

"Nothing to worry there, it is normal here; after all, we're in the Fake Hell," Koros replied.

After a few minutes, they entered a huge red hotel with many windows, named the "Bad Boys Hotel". They walked through the red corridors with wood mobiles and wool carpets as long yellow lanterns were all around. They eventually reached a room whose violet wood door had the number "666" engraved on it. The two earthworms turned off the lights and disappeared while the door slowly opened. From the room came an immense aura of raw fear as darkness themselves made sure to hide any secret hidden inside this mysterious room.

"Looks like someone entered my kingdom…" someone said, hidden in the darkness. Null stepped forward and grabbed Erik and Dan's shoulders. Suddenly, a mask emerged from the darkness; it was red, had two big red horns which were half-heart-shaped in such a way they, when combined, would create the outline of a heart, the smile painted on it was black and creepy and the eyes behind the mask were white but with a black pupil in their middle.

"Pleasure to meet you, I am Setan," a voice behind the mask said.

"I hope you will have a nice stay in my Fake Hell."
