Standing before me was none other than the lord of hell himself, or something like that or another. To be honest this isn't like your normal reincarnation or isekai stories where the protagonist meets god/goddess(s) and gets sent off on a normal adventure. No this is completely different as accepting his offer would entail that once I died in my next life, Me, myself, and I basically everything that is and was known as Y/n would come to an end. No third chances, no shining gates of heaven, even the fiery brimstone of hell wouldn't be waiting for me.

You see, I was a normal individual that no god would really take any special care in. Just your average joe in all departments. If you really must pick something I was different in then you could perhaps say I had a slightly higher libido than most. But that's hardly anything someone can gloat about. I didn't die a virgin or anything but nonetheless, I was not a so-called ladies man that these bishounen are known to be. Not like these filthy normies and their magical love lives with flowers appearing everywhere once they walk in a room.

Now the devil or lord of this hell dimension was currently explaining things about how things would go once I signed his contract. He never did say if he was actually Satan from the bible or not. Hell, I don't even really know if he's one of the rulers of my own world.

The real kicker was that he wasn't in his true form. He's seen my past and knew from my internet browsing history that I would likely not be scared of it. So in his limitless intelligence took the form that I fear (resented most) a bear. Not just any bear mind you, the foulest most hideous of them all. A carebear. A pink carebear. The devil truly is evil, I will never doubt those preachers coming by door to door every again about the darkness that is the devil.

I'm pretty sure he introduced himself to me in a typical evildoer grand monologue but honestly, I wasn't taking him seriously once I saw the form he was in. I think it was Luci, Luciker? Nope, it was something else. Let's just call him Luciturd for now.

Luciturd had finally finished his monologue about how no one was going to save me from my eternal damnation or whatever. He's obviously never gone through public education. He should take notes.

Basically, I would sign his contract and offer essentially everything I had, memories, soul, and blah blah blah. I would in turn get granted one simple ability of my choice. That was fair, the alternative would be me going to actual hell for my sentence of something years, or was it centuries? Honestly couldn't tell you, I stopped caring once he listed off everything I did wrong in my life or sins as they call it. Who knew that not informing the custodian that the toilet paper was out at a public restroom was a sin. Apparently, my sin was more grave as I made it so this random guy I never met didn't make it to his award ceremony. Something called a Nobel Prize or something.

Luciturd then coughed to get my attention, "Are you paying attention mortal?"

"Definitely oh so evil one, what can this servant do to please you?" I don't think he took kindly to my sarcasm. He just sighed and pushed the contract in my face.

"Just sign the damn thing so I don't have to see your face again mortal."

"Sheesh, tough crowd am I right?" I said elbowing the zombie dude next to me.

His job was to hold me in place while I talked to his boss Luciturd. He wasn't doing the best job but I will give him credit since his flesh looked to be falling off.

"Grrrrr" oh look at that, his mouth fell off. I guess his flesh really was falling off.

"How do you want me to sign, the classic sign with my blood or something? Then again maybe something original would be cool. Wait how am I supposed to sign if I'm a ghost." I also forgot to mention that I wasn't in my body anymore. Nah that thing was long gone. I was just your average spirit now. Floating and pooping ectoplasm. Apparently, if I tried hard enough I could drop ectoplasm like poop which was getting on Luciturd's nerves. Fits his name tho, especially since we're in the throne room. Quite modest since greed is supposed to be a sin. You would assume that it would be filled with riches, the devil is mostly business it seems.
