Into The Devildom

Prologue: The Death of Mc

I rolled over and stared at the ceiling.

"I'm so bored. No classes today." I groaned and sat up. "I wanna go on an adventure."

I tapped my chin and thought about where I haven't been yet. I counted on my fingers the places that I was now familiar with, thanks to the demon brothers. Prince Diavolo had also let me go to his castle whenever I wanted, so there wasn't a place there that I hadn't been.

Or was there?

I thought about the times that I had tried to go down to the crypt, but either Barbatos or Diavolo had always turned up and stopped me.

"I wonder if I could get in there this time. I can just turn up." I grinned and started to make a plan to sneak into the castle and down to the crypt.

I took out my phone and opened up the chat. I didn't want to go by myself but I wasn't sure who would willingly come with.

I thought for a moment, then shot a text to Mammon. He would be the easiest to convince.

I told him to meet me down near the front door, so I jumped up and pulled on some clothes.

I left my room and hurried down the corridor, bumping into Asmo on the way.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

I quickly shook my head. "Oh, no reason. Gotta meet Mammon. Bye."

I turned to run off, but he grabbed my wrist. "Wouldn't you rather hang out with me, not that idiot?" He had a smile, but he did look a little jealous.

"Hm, we're just...going somewhere and I didn't think anyone else would come."

Asmo pouted and let go. "You could've asked..."

I sighed, feeling a little guilty. "Fine, you can come-"

Asmo grinned and put his arm around my shoulder. "Yes!"

"-BUT."

"Hm?"

We started walking as I explained what I planned to do.

"I don't know if that's a good idea..."

"What's a good idea?"

We looked up and spotted Mammon next to the front door. Asmo smirked and put his arm around me again.

I deadpanned and moved away, not really interested in them fighting right now.

"Come on. Let's go." I started to walk off, when I heard Mammon yelling.

"Hey! Where are we goin?"

I said nothing and kept walking. I was too excited to go exploring. I heard Asmo laugh, and Mammon yell more.

"Oi! Don't ignore me!"

------------

About an hour later, we got to the castle and walked around the side. I wasn't overly optimistic about a castle having a basement or a trap door, but I looked anyway. If I could avoid sneaking in the castle itself, I would.

I turned a corner and stopped, Asmo and Mammon bumping into me.

"Hey! Why'd ya stop-"

"Is that-"

"Beel?"

He was sitting down, biting chunks out of a pillar on the back entertaining area. Bits of concrete flew everywhere, and we had to duck once or twice to avoid being hit in the head by them.

I eyed an especially large chunk as it landed with a thump in a bush next to me.

I frowned. The thump sounded like.. I walked over and started searching the bushes.
