Pain... All he felt at that moment was pain. It felt like organs in his body were about to burst at that moment. Blood spurted out of his holes as the lead bullets ripped through his body. He didn't know what was going through his head at that moment. It was so much and so little at the same time. He spat blood. Felt like he was bleeding to death and eventually his heart stopped.

An excruciating pain shot through his body, waking him up. "Holy shit!" The blue-haired sat up. He felt like he was lying on stones. He stretched briefly and cracked his bones before looking around. The place was unknown to him. It was pretty dark and...red. But besides asking where he was, he also wondered what had happened. He felt as if the recent events had been erased from his memories. "What is this shit about?"

"There must be someone awake." He looked around when he heard that voice, but saw no one. "Who's there? Show yourself!" "The question is probably more..." He could hear a clacking sound and before he knew it someone, or rather something, was standing in front of him. "Who are you?" The blue-haired takes a step back as that thing was right in front of his face. It looked very strange. Most of the body was covered with a robe, the face was covered with a half-broken mask, the hair was black and tousled, and spider legs were attached to the back. "And you're?" The creature tilted its head to the side and studied the boy in front of it. "Yes, you have the look of a monster" "What are you trying to tell me?" "You'll know best what you did" "And how do you know about it?" "We here know everything about people like you" "Because?" "Because it's our job to take in people like you here. People who didn't have any scruples when they were alive. People like you who don't belong anywhere but in hell." He looked around briefly. "That's hell? I would have imagined it to be more creepy, gloomy and like that" "Let's put it this way, to greet you our Lord has thought of something calming, because what you will experience here is bad enough" "Oh Yes?" "My name is Shi no Tenshi and my job is to explain this world to newcomers here. If you would follow me" Shi no Tenshi went first. Without hesitation, the newcomer followed him. The creature took out some kind of file and opened it.

"Your name is Lui Shirosagi. You were born on December 25th and died a few hours ago when at the age of 20. You were wanted across America. Your criminal career began at the age of 10 when you stole too many times, ambushed an older lady and killed your own father. You escaped then and no one knew where you were staying. Your next crime was at the age of 12 when you set a fire and killed another 10 people at your hands. Until your death, you killed 27 people, seriously injured nearly 40 people, started 5 fires and stole and sold valuables worth up to $2 million. You are also accused of selling and taking illegal drugs, but this could not be proven. Finally, today, September 13, you died by murder. You were hit by a total of 20 bullets and fatally injured. The court in our world has decided that you are going to hell, where you can serve out your penalty. If you hold out for 10 years, you are a free spirit and can go to heaven. If you don't get through those 10 years and ask the Lord to redeem you, you will be imprisoned in Hell forever."

Shi no Tenshi stopped. "Did you understand everything?" "Interesting to know you know everything about us" "Answer my question" Lui rolled his eyes "Yes, I understand everything" "Good, then I ask you to sign this agreement" Shi no Tenshi took out a blade and handed it to Lui. "Cut your finger with it and put your fingerprint on the paper" "I have blood left?" "Right now, you're still flesh and blood, you just don't exist anymore." Lui took the blade and without flinching, cut his thumb before pressing his thumb to the paper. "Now that that's clarified, I'll take you to your accommodation, where you will spend the next 10 years." Lui followed the being and entered a completely different world.

It looked like a city, only the residents were every monster from hell, demons, ghosts, zombies,... Felt like something out of a movie. "The city is inhabited by those who cannot serve their penalty. If you ask the Lord to redeem you, you too will be transformed into one of these beings and serve the Lord" "Ha! Sounds funny" "But it isn't" "If you say so" The two finally arrived at a mansion. "You will stay here for the next few years. You will find out everything else inside from your roommates, who are already waiting for you" "I'll be living in this luxury shed for 10 years?! It'll be child's play" "So far, no one has survived their penalty sitting in this house. Nobody knows what's going on in there, it's just clear that it's not easy and certainly not 10 years" "Because none of them know how to really live in luxury" "Then rejoice your 10 years. If you make it, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance again in 10 years. However, if you break off, you just have to call my name and I'll get you out" "That won't happen" "Then go in" Lui didn't need to be told twice. Two bodyguards opened the doors for him and Shirosagi entered.
